Wrestling with Chiplé

Went to the dog park around 11AM today.

Nice and warm outside.
BFF put some goopy white paste on my pink skin.
Avalon Organics Baby sunscreen. Grrr. I don't
like that white goopy stuff! Bleeeeh!!
(Supposedly, this goop helps protect me'z pink skin,
ears and nose from the sun's delightfully warmness .)

Whelp, there were no other dogs or hoomans at the park.
Boring! BFF took me through the agility tunnel.

THEN!
I noticed a hooman and her pup enter the gate.
It was Chiplé! She looks like a baby mastiff.
She's a rescue - she could be a pit/boxer/
mastiff mix with ginormous paws! Dog-o-dog it has
been a couple of months since I had last seen her!
She's 8 mos. just like meeeee! PUPPY POWER!
:)

We re-introduced ourselves and immediately
started romping, mouthing, and chasing each other.
We tired out fast. We took cover in the shade of the
trees, laid down, and also rolled on our backs. BFF
gave us H2O. After a cool refreshing drink, Chiplé
and I went back to wrestling! My face was covered
in dirt.

Woof!
Chiplé and I had a blast! Two adolescent hooman
girls walked in. They wanted to play with the puppies.
We ran over to greet them. BFF thought it was strange
they walked in without parental supervision. Despite
the fact that their parents were no where to be seen,
everything went ok. Chiplé and I had kissed the two
adolescent hoomans. We even followed them around
the agility course.

Chiplé's hooman said she was very happy that
we'z got along so grrrrreat and we were THE the best of
buddies! After an hour the pals had to leave, so we left
back home too. Can't wait to see Chiplé again! Arf! :)

Breakfast in Bed &...Ouch! My Eye!

Kibble at the crack of dawn! Nom nomz indeed! :)

Me'z guardian was a lazy hooman this morning.
She hand fed me dry kibble (she didn't add the
canned Organics chicken this time-phooey!) in
bed. Me'z an aggressive swallower so I needz
to be hand fed during meal times.

Earlier, I chased Stella and also played with me'z
favorite toy - the green racquetball. Me'z
guardian tossed it around the room, it bounced
and hit me'z left eye. I winced. Ouchies!! She
ran over to check my eye. Jeepers, she pulled
back my eyelids and examined the whole eyeball!
I'm such an accident prone
::woo-woo-woof::

The eyeball is a-ok! So, she kissed me and hugged
me. I picked up the ball and started playing again.

Inspired by Ella Smella

The BFF was inspired by Ella and
Ella's mom's biscuit baking and wanted to
bake me some nom nomz for me too.

Ahem.
(BFF has yet to bake me nom nomz.
AND! Me'z still waiting!!)

Anywoof, at Barnes and Noble, BFF found
The Organic Dog Biscuit Cookbook
from the Bubba Ross Biscuit Company.

...hmmmmph.

Has anyone from Dogster used this book and its
recipes? What's a doggone good site
to find canine nom nomz recipes?

BFF is on the laptop boxy thing. She's googling
nom nomz recipes for me. I can't wait any longer
for her to bake me cookie nom nomz. I will, in
the meantime, head to my toy box and pull the
white fuzzy stuffing from this stuffed animal.
G'nite! :)

Clean Bill of Health

BFF and I have had our paws full
these paw few days. :)

Tuesday, the vet saidz my gums are
healing nicely. In addition, he saidz
me'z at the ideal weight. There's too
many obese doggies out there, and
it's a sign out of love.
Woo-woof! Also, my fecal flotation
came back negative. I gotz a clean
bill of health - now I can start on my
heartworm preventative.

In Search for

...dental rinse.

o-kay! so I have a little local swelling on my
palate. Nothing serious, nor is there any bleeding.

The best friend and I traveled around the east side
looking for this one thing; specifically with
chlorhexidine. Ah! She worries too much. Besides,
I have a follow-up appointment on Tuesday. The vet
will be checking the sutures where my incisor was pulled.

Anywoof, we'z went to two different Petsmarts nearz
our home. Happy tail!!! The sight and smell
of hoomans and their pooches was pawsome!
I walked down each dog food aisle. I sniffed under
the shelves for kibble. I hit the jackpot a few times.
I ate a few tasty kibbles - nom nomz. I even saw my
former puppy class instructor. I wiggled and kissed
her. She saidz I got tall. After no luck finding a dental
rinse, we'z went to Petsbarn. Nada.

We'z arrived at Petland. I wasn't able to go inside.
So I stayed in the car. I was nervous and wondering
where the best friend had gone. It felt like eternity!
She came back and had bought me the dental spray.
She even bought Stella a new yellow bow for her hair.
Once we'z were home, the best friend used a wet towel
to wash my paws. I hopped right up on the couch and
fell asleep.

Diary of the Day

This morning while in bed,
I woke up to the smell of the
hoomans making breakfast.

::sniff::sniff::sniff::

Me'z guardian was still asleep.
I staredz at her until she
woke up. She opened her eyes,
kissed my noggin', put her robe
on and then we'z went downstairs.
She fiddled with the blackberry
gadgety-ma-thing and saidz that
I have received paw-mail from
fellow puppy pals plus a notification
from HQ stating that I've been selected
as Dog Diary of the Day.

SWEEEEET CARAMEL KIBBLE!
Dogster is a doggone fun place to learn and network.
Thank you HQ!

Also, I received sweet, thoughtful comments
and rosettes from Hoomans and Dogsters.
Awwwgawrsh! You guys are doggone sweet!
Thank you Nina and thank you fur-family of Daisy and Ella!
Pooch smooches for Hoomans and Dogsters for dropping by
to read my diary and your comments :)
You guys are RUFF-RRR-RIFIC!

Wellllp, I have had my breakfast. Me'z waiting on the sofa for me'z guardian to get ready so that we can leave the house for more socialization at the dog park.

I have many more adventures to come. ..

Another day at the dog park

Me'z and my guardian went to the dog park earlier this evening.

It was another pawsome time!

Harley, the fuzzy lab, and his owner were the only ones inside.
I walked up to him slowly and then his tailed wagged.
We'z played and chased each other.

Soon after my arrival, the crazy 5 month old Cowboy red nose pit
who I met before, walked in with his hooman.

More hoomans walked in with their pups. Woof!

I played with the usual fur-riends, but I also met a 6 month JRT named Otto.
Oooh sooo many pooches, I can't rememberz all their names.

An hour later my guardian and Cowboy's owner were talking about
pit bull diets. As they talked, Cowboy and I wrestled. I did zoomies!
I'm super duper fast! I zoom-zoomied hoping he would chase me. He tried,
but I am too fast for him!

It got dark around 6:48 PM.
Unfortunwoofly, there are no lights at the dog park. So my guardian
and I left back home. I smelled like puppy slobber, so she washed my
face and paws. After I towel-dried, I went downstairs to eat my dinner.
It was nom nomz in my tummy. Then I fell asleep.

My guardian plans on taking me again on Saturday morning.

Tooth Extraction and Reward

Yesterday at me'z new vet hospital, my permanent broken incisor was extracted. The new vet packed in a dental consil inside my gums, and now me'z have two stitches.

My best friend came to pick me up after 4PM. I wanted to express my deepest love and happiness. I wiggled, jumped, wiggled, then kissed and jumped up again. She couldn't settle me down. I was explosive with excitement, literally - I couldn't contain myself - I peed on the floor.

She was really embarrassed ::woo-woo-woof::
As my reward, she took me to the local park.

I made a new fur-riend, a pretty 10 month old, Shepard/Collie mix. She was very shy. It was just the two of us getting to know each other for a while, then two hoomans and their rescue, a 2 year old German Shepard mix named Nina, came in.

My guardian was very proud and delighted
at my approach. My head was down and
I walked over to them. I smelled Nina, and then
I lifted my leg so she could smell under my belly.
The couple pet my head. Then I walked back to
my guardian.

More hoomans and their dogs/puppies walked in. So my guardian watched very closely. I met two Labs, a Min Pin, a blind Maltese, a 5 month old male red nose pit, and an Old English Sheepdog. It was a very nice time! Everyone played nicely except the 5 month old red nose pit who was trying to mount every dog. He was neutered, which was funny! Thank woofness he didn't try to mount me.

I'm taking 1/2 a tablet of chewable Rimadyl twice a day. I'm a little restless. My best friend massages me and keeps giving me extra hugs and smooches. I sense she is feeling a little down because my mouth is sore. I'm eating ice chips and my guardian continues to hand feed me softened kibble. -All and all, I'm still the same'o me!

New Vet and Fun Day at the Park

I woke up really early this morning.
I had my kibble breakfast and was ready
to go back to bed. My guardian surprised
me by taking me to a new vet hospital.
She wanted a second opinion on
the pulp exposure on me'z broken incisor.

My previous vet clinic did an ultrasonic dental scaling, but no tooth extraction
as scheduled. This confused my guardian. She made an appointment this past Thursday to have my tooth pulled, but all they did was cleanedz all my teethz. And sooo to make a long story short, my guardian wanted to talk to a different veterinarian. She was concerned about me'z developing pulp-pull-plump-pulpitis in the future. So, I have an official tooth extraction with my new vet this Tuesday.

So we'z walked into this new hospital place,
and boy-o-boy there went my happy tail!
My ears and head lowered. My nose went to work.
My guardian gave me'z commands and treats
to focus my attention on her.

There was a bassett hound with his hooman
family. He was waiting for nail grooming.
From afar, I sniffed him. He smelled, o-kay.


Then, my guardian gave me another surprise!
-A trip to the local and only dog park in El Paso.
It has been over 2 months.

I met a 4 month old white German Shepard mix Bella,
- 7 month old Shepard mix named Harley,
- 3 month old chocolate Lab named Bailey,
- reintroduced myself to 1 year old St. Bernard named Nana
and Senior Shepard mix, who had a muzzle on, Chloe.

My guardian took out 2 air kong squeaker tennis balls and threw them in a distance. Harley and I ran after them. Harley and I are the same age, but she was very possessive of my toy, and there were 2!!! She snarled and snapped at me! She left a long scratch on my pink skin white muzzle. Ouchiez! I walked away from her. I looked up for my guardian. Oh! One timez, she even stolez Bailey's squeaky bone. Harley's owner had to grab it from Harley's mouth and give it back to Bailey. Ever since she scratched me'z, I stayedz by my guardian, and looked up at her for reassurance.

Very tired from running and playing with all the poochie girls.
I had a very fun day. My guardian washed my paws.
Now, time for nappies. ::::yawn::::
