My Day

Update on glands

First I want to Thanks all pups who have emailed me....the first time this happened mom was super upset and very scared as anyone would be. This time mom is better. Everytime mom sees me she checks again and again. Do today it is better, it is down she said it feels like 1 egg compared to 3 on the weekend...which is good!

The POP always works and we thank dog for it every day.

Now if only I could talk and tell mom what is wrong with me...all would be good.

tonight my tummy is upset and as most know it doesnt take much to upset my tummy...but mom gave me my pepid pill, that helps alot. Now if the bad stuff comes out the backend...that means the serious dogtor pills...so I am hoping not since I just got a bath and I think I smell pretty good.

Ohh and we are so very sorry about not being around too much, there are several reasons and one is mom's work, but please know we are thinking of all of you and miss you all.

I do sneak into dogster at least once a day to try and catch up what mom is making us miss......dont tell mom k?

Ohh and Lenny is doing great....knock on wood no major issues with his eyes :)

PS : Mom has this cell phone from work that has 10-4 unit on it....can some one tell me why I am so scared of it? Once it goes off I am out running before she even turns around!! Dont laugh at me......it really does scare me , almost as bad as thunder! Is it old age?

Swollen Glands....again

So mom decided to bath us yesterday and once again she found that I have more swollen glands under my chin...this time it is the other side and mom says it felt like the size of 3 eggs and you could actually see it....well mom could. She called the dogtor and told mom to watch it as it could be like last time....which the dogtor did tests last time, and it turned out I did have an infection but not sure where? So he said to watch it over this week and to let him know if it gets any bigger and or if it bothers me when someone touches it.

So far it isnt bothering me, and I am acting normal, so mom must think positive like me!

So far so good!!

No more throwing up.....no more poopy pants.....back to eating dog food....but not eating like I use to.....

Mom thinks this is a blessing....Not sure what she means......its not like I am FAT! BOL!

Anyway mom thinks I am better, I seem back to my normal self except for not eating my full dinner...but something is telling mom that maybe I am getting more treats during the day!!

Ohh and the best part Lenny has been stuck to me like GLUE for the past week it has been crazy! I cant turn around with out walking into him......mom thinks its funny! I think it he obessed with my beauty! BOL!

So I must get along and let mom use the puter .....just wanted to Thank all the pups who sent me the well wishes...and cross your paws this poopy thing just goes away!

Energy wise when mom gets home I am normal waggin my butt. Mom even made me steamed salmon with rice....cause we found out the last time I got sick like this...she gave me boiled chicken and it made me worse...so no more chicken for me....

mom will watch me like a hawk all weekend...thank dog for the weekend....:)

Thanks to everypup that has sent me pmails, I love everyone of them :)

update.......

so mom got home...I am happier but I didnt want to eat my dinner.....mom gave me some of my liver diet canned food...little did I know she snuck one of my pills in that stops me from having poopy pants :(......

So I ate some of the canned food but not too much....I think I am just going to chill tonight and hopefully whatever I ate from my late night walk...in da house will stay away from me!!

I am tired of having those bad poopies! I hate having my bum washed!

But at least I am talking to mom tonight :)

Out & Over
Harrison

Ruff couple of days.....

So the other day mom was leaving for work about 6am...and she knew I wasnt feeling good....so she warned her dad to watch out for me....

About 30 mins after mom left....I threw up on moms bed......I had the bad poopies....everywhere...I was COVERED!

Throughout the day I threwup about 4 more times.....and more bad poopies.....my bum was washed so many times....I felt so sick...like I had a virus....or something...

So mom finally got her butt home and I looked at her.....with my saddest eyes...(and I do have them when I need them) and I didnt even do my welcome waggle...nothing....I didnt even want mom to hold me.....nothing....I turned around and went to one of the beds in the front room....

Mom was feeling bad so she made me some rice.....and I didnt touch it....me! the boy who loves FOOD!!!!!!!!!!

And now today I mom woke up Lenny put in his eye drops and was getting Lenny a treat and I perked up when I heard the bag....last night I didnt perk up NOTHING.... so mom gave me a treat this morning and I ate it...but nothing else....

Mom has called and checked up on me....I am still mopeing around da house...hopefully by the time mom gets home I will be better....

Blood test results

So as most know Lenny & I went for our yearly checkup....for the past 4 years I have gotten a blood test every year to watch my liver enzymes......dogtor said it is nothing to really worry about , they started at 150, 190, 200 and now 260...he said for mom not to worry and that she should only really worry if it jumped into the 1,000's which would mean more tests.....and everything else checked out normal!!

So with that said I shall go and relax maybe beat up my brother....maybe steal a baby lion... BOL

STORMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thats all I can say...did you know we had 6 twisters on Thursday night.........6!! We normally maybe see 1 a year......not sure what is going on but I am getting scared with all this crazy weather.....I start shaking now when I hear the wind kick up and the rain.....it has been so bad, that mom thinks my teeth are chattering I am shaking so bad.....and after the shaking I am drooling! It is crazy! mom trys to help in turning up the tv but the thunder just sounds so angry and the wind ......

another storm is blowing in...hopefully it will take some of this hot air away and start bringing in fall! So I can at least enjoy some days outside.....it has either been way too hot....or raining to the point of where we thank the man who made the pee pee pad! two paws up :)

anyway I must get back and check on Enny.....he isnt feeling to well tonight...gotta keep an eye on my bro.

So since this is SUCH a great day

I had to make it even better when mom got home!!

Enny couldnt hold it...so he did number 2 on the pee pee pad.....and lets just say I cleaned it up!! BOL! Sorry mom I was just trying to help!!

Ohhh I got to tell you about last Monday....this is my version mom's is more graphic

So about 3am Monday morning...and I starting to gag...and mom rushes to see to put her glasses on....and she is right in my face and I threw up on her face! Really it wasnt on purpose just bad timing I swear. So mom changed the bed, too a shower and was ready for work just a few hours early......but while mom was doing this I was sstill coughing....like I was trying to throw up again...but nothing came.....

Off mom goes to work....later she comes home...so I am excited and I start coughing again.....now this time the weather is getting warm.....and allergies are starting...last year I was ok...now it doesnt look like it is going to be a nice allergy season.......

So I have been coughing for a few days...and the past few it has been raining...no coughing....mom knows for sure what my "problem" is....but we are still going to the dogtor anyway as it is time for the heartworm pill, so we need to get blood taken and get ready to start the pills for I think 6 months.

Ok gotta run and see what else there is too eat in this place tonight!!! BOL

Harrison

WooHOOOOOOOOOOOO Thank DOG!

Mom just got the call from the dogtor!!!

Dogtor said my cells look GREAT! No sign of cancer, or anything else.

He said I do have some sort of an infection but not sure what.....mom is suppose to watch me over the next 2 weeks and if the swelling doesnt go down, that I should be on antibotics.

Lets just say mom feels ALOT better today :-)

Thank you to all my pals for the POP! We know in our hearts that it really does work.

Over & out

A Happy Harrison :-)

Home :)

So first I want to thank all the pups for the POP, mom is worried, Enny says I stink like the dogtors place. So the dogtor shaved my neck to get samples and he said that I didnt move and I was a really good boy!! Even though I could have pooped my pants for mom leaving me. It was SCARY! I think as I get older the more scared I get of mom leaving me places without her or Enny!!!

So...dogtor is sending off my samples to get tested and sometime next week mom will get the results and we are praying hard it is nothing serious. Mom is worried as she said before it came up really quick....it was only 2 weeks ago I got a bath and she didnt notice anything...and now....I have 2 bumps that are connected.

Please know they are not bothering me...and I am eating and doing my normal things....but it is scary and mom is worried about me. I am her big boy.

So mom did get me some fresh altantic salmon, but she said that is for dinner tomorrow night. YUMMY! tonight she said it is pasta night. I LOVE pasta!!Enny and me always look at each other to see who can eat it faster!

Anyway I must go and tend to mom and try and tell her that I will be ok and not to worry...just love me :)

Promise to update as soon as mom finds out.

Moms on the watch!

For me!!!

Since Lenny gets a bath every 2 weeks....I also join in....and trust me I love being clean!

BUT

During bath time mom found a lump under my jaw.....dogtor said it sounds like my lymph node is swollen.....and to watch it for 2 weeks and let him know if it goes down or gets bigger. Right now it is about the size of a piece of bubble gum...and it wasnt there 2 weeks ago.....

So dogtor is thinking when mom brushed my teeth...I didnt like that my gums were bleeding or I had a reaction to the toothpaste.

So mom is on the watch for me...she is parinod about these things...and I am hoping that it will go away and I dont have to go to the dogtor.....

I promise to update once we know more....but I am hoping to tell you all that it was mom's fault and who ever told mom to brush my teeth!

Today ;-)

Well today is Saturday and mom woke up and started watching tv about 8am......I was still sleeping and she let me sleep and let Enny alone too. She proceeded to take a shower get dressed and said she would be back......

Well today mom went to a store called WholeFoods. Here in Ontario we only have 2 WholeFoods....1 in Toronto and 1 in Oakville...mom thought it would be a change to go to see what is it like.

So...mom comes home all happy and says she has a treat for us....hmmm..no plastic bags.....these are paper....cant look into these bags as easy as the plastic ones..... so mom pulls out something wrapped up in paper...and says this is what we are getting for dinner tonight....still unsure what she is trying to feed us....mom opens it up and puts in on the floor.....and I was DROOLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMD!!!!!!! my own FISH!!!!!!!!!!!! it was artic char fresh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Enny was unsure at first but he started licking his lips too!!!

Mom proceeded to steam our fish for us and we would NOT leave the kitchen and watched it the whole time......we started to dance around when we saw it was done but mom said we had to wait for it too cool down...let me tell you we were so patient today waiting :-)

So mom said that we still had to have our hard dog food but we could have the fish on top and mom put it on our dog food hot so all the fish juices would run down and flavour our dog food super YUMMY

Thanks MOM it was the BESTEST!

Then the bad news......B A T H !!!!!

This was Enny's first bath since last week and he has been getting his meds 3 times a day.....I can tell you he is a little show off taking pills! Mom opens his mouth and he swallows it no fighting mom NOTHING! fight Enny you get more treats I tell ya and you also make mom SWEAT! BOL!

So Enny had a good bath and I thought not bad I dont get one....easy night and I can chill...what does she do...she grabs another towel and grabs ME!

You know what an uphappy tzu face looks like dont you? Yah right mom feed us something yummy and do this! Just remember we will be prepared for next time!!!!

So back to Enny....mom thinks his scabs are getting better...they seem to be not spreading at this time...and drying up...Enny does go back to the dogtor next Friday for another checkup but he also has alot more pills to take

Ohh and today it was +8 C here!!! that is amazing considering it was -22C just the other day.....and the forecast is calling for alot of rain the next couple of days which means the snow will be going away...and that means spring is around the corner YIPEEEEEEE

One very important thing that is happening is Valentines day is next weekend and I wanted to let Tuesday know how very special she is to me! She is my one and only. I hope you like your pressy I sent you.

Anyway I am getting tired after my bath.....you know even though I didnt want one...it does relax me....so I must go off to bed and take a nap...hopefully mom will sleep in tomorrow......

Not good news :-(

mom just heard from her dad and it looks like grandma only has 24-48 hrs...she had a bilaterial(sp?) stroke and she will not wakeup again.....mom's dad heart is broken :-( ,

Thanks STAFU for the prayers, it always is nice to know that we can always count on wonderful caring pups at these times.

Little update

Mom heard from her dad today and his flight was re routed to Monton NB which I think is about another 1.5 hrs away from Saint John....so he finally arrived and she is heavily sedated as they are trying to see if they put blood thinners in her to see if she will be able to know who are the people around her and if she will be able to move....so mom's dad said he may not know anything for up to 48-72 hrs.....dogtors said it is a waiting game...but they are still saying that they are not too hopeful....

Since she fell by the freezer mom's dad says that it looks like someone beat her up she is so black & blue from the fall...

Ohh and Enny got his bath tonight in the TUB! It was funny to me...he wasnt impressed but at least.

Mom said that if she hears anything else she will let us know and we can post for her....

One more thing ...we would like to Thank all the pups at STAFU for the prayers for our grandma. She loved hanging out with us when she came to visit...she just never figure out our hair cause ours was always softer than hers! We told her it was a tzu secret.

Not good news :-(

Well I know that I havent written in a while...but with mom being more busy with work and now Enny and his baths....we have just had time to come and check things out on dogster.

Well last night was a long night....mom's grandmother had a massive stroke last night and they dont think she will come out of it. She doesnt know who anyone is.....and she is not talking or moving...they said it is just like she is staring into space :-(

So mom dropped off her dad at the airport since we were all up most of the night....he should be in Saint John soon....

Ohh and to top it off we are under a severe cold alert....do you know what can freeze at -35C....ALOT! Thank DOG for pee pee pads ;-)

Anyway please say prayers for mom grandmother....we will update once we know more.

Mom's away da BOys will pLaY!

BOL! Sorry mom but it isnt our fault that it is snowing right now where you are. It isnt our fault you didnt bring a winter coat!! You always tell us to dress warm, wear our booties when it is snowing...but you dont listen to yourself!!!

Anyway we are being looked after by mom's parents....mom wrote a novel about what we should get to eat, Lenny's drop routine, the times we poop! Geez cant anything be a SECRET!

Lets just say when I saw the luggage I wasnt a happy boy...I even turned my head away from mom when she went to give me a kiss before she left.....Lenny went back to bed, he doesnt worry too much, just as long as he is looked after he is no problem.....I am usually the problem......usually I get myself upset to the point of poopy issues....but so far (at least what mom has been told) I have been pretty good. But the first night I slept at the top of the stairs waiting for mom......thinking she was out for dinner and bringing me home a treat NOPE nada NOTHING!

So mom is getting lots of snow where she is at right now...and she is suppose to be home Friday night BUT the weather channel is saying another 4 winter storms coming and the next one is starting Friday, then Sunday...looks like we will have a white christmas!!! YEAH! The TZU500 will be opening when mom gets her butt back home!

Seriously I miss mom.....more than she knows....I will be a happy tzu once I know she is on her way back. I did hear that she was up at 4am cause she said the hotel room was so quiet!! Guess she misses the noises of 2 snoring tzu's plus a princess (lovebird).

Anyway back to sleeping on a king size tzu bed for me all by myself...Enny can have the FLOOR!!! BOL

Greta Garbo hUH?

So...mom I think has a real problem latley...she has been calling me Greta???? I just look at her and wonder what has she been smoking......geezz...mom I am NOT a girl I am a BOY my name is Harrison...remember over 10 years ago you named me???

So I sat mom down and had a talk with her.....she said the last time we went to the eye dogtor with Lenny.....the eye dogtor called me Greta Garbo because of my eye lashes and I think the way that I was looking at him..... I was staring him down watching my brother on da table giving him a look of you better watch out buddy! Thats my brother!!! But I guess the look was of Greta Garbo :-P....he said that he doesnt often see long haired tzu's..and on top of it hs eye lashes like me.

Since that day that is what mom has been calling me...so I am now going along with it...but she did threaten to change my dogster name to GRETA! gheez.....if she did that no one would be able to find me...and wonder how can you have Canadian Boys with a girl & a boy!

Anyway things on the homefront not bad...mom just too busy with work but I am getting fed, and that is what is important!

So call me Greta :-P

Over & Out

Harrison aKA Greta

Geezz......

So since mom has been off work since Oct 9th she has been driving me crazy!!!!!!!!! Harrison do this...Harrison do that...Harrison look after your brother!!!!!!!!!!!!

Geez a big brother just cant catch a break here!

Anyway mom said that she was "purging" while she was off...all I know is that she was really sweaty alot! and filled her car up drove somewhere and came back hom and went to bed....

The funny part is that while we were upstairs I saw blankets, towels & clothes being thrown over the staircase downstairs...glad I wasnt down there!!

It ended up to be 5 bag of clothes, 2 bags of towels, 2 bags of blankets...and mom dropped them off at donation box at the mall. Usually she drops the blankets off at the humae society but she said she was too tired to drive there as it is about 30 mins away while the drop box is 5 mins....

Anyway mom said that we are having turkey tomorrow and that I needed to be presentable.....too who?? I asked...no answer from mom....hmmm...what is she up to? I think she just made that story up...I really thinks she thought I was getting stinky...BOL! silly mom...I am suppose to be stinky!! it makes me love you more! BOL!

Anyway Lenny got away with not getting a bath today cause mom said she has overdone it the past few days and her back is really hurting...so hopefully Enny gets his turn on turkey day!!!!!!!! Actually Lenny kinda looks the size of the turkey BOL! just need to pluck his feathers! Sorry mom...couldnt help it :-P

We wanted to say "HAPPY THANKSGIVING" to all the Canadian pups that are enjoying this beautiful long weekend!

Remember as to what you are thankful for on this day.

I am thankful for a great little brother and a wonderful family and great dogster friends that I will have forever in my heart & soul.

Love Always,

Harrison XOXO

Escape Artist :P

BOL!

Well lets just say that Lenny is not the only super smart tzu in this family!

This is how the story starts....when no one is home Lenny and I are put in the kitchen with a baby gate so we can escape and run around the house and tear it apart.....and just off the kitchen is the dining room that we never ever use...and it has a folding door so we cant get in and jump on a couch that is never used....(I will never understand that) anyway...over the past few weeks...I have been escaping from the kitchen and Lenny cant figure out how I do this. So mom had today off work and she went out for a while brought us for a short walk and proceeded to put us in the kitchen. I wasnt going to stand for that! So shortly after they left....I pawed at the door it opened for me...and I went back to my bed upstairs! BOL! Mom came home saw Lenny all by himself...and I heard yelling.....OMD crap mom is home...and I am stuck upstairs....(we dont go down stairs anymore without help) cant hide......so I walk out of the puter room wagging my tail....HI MOM!!!!!!!!! She gave me a look and started laughing at me......I knew she couldnt be mad....just as long as I was ok she was ok...but I heard talking...I think they are going to try and block my door......so I cant escape.... darn! Not sure why Lenny doesnt follow me...I think he wants to say see I am the good boy!!! NOT Harrison!!

Hmmm...gotta think of something to impress mom again!

Over & out

Harrison

Back to wORk :P

So mom has gone back to work....party time at da house!

Just kidding we really wouldnt do that.

Anyway I wanted to update pups about my brother Lenny. He went to the eye dogtor and he has a blister once again in his left eye and he has an ucler in the right eye :-(

So he is on 2 different eye meds now, plus pain medication. The dogtor also told mom that he has the starting of cataracts but not to worry about them right now.

This all came up cause mom noticed that Lenny wasnt staying in bed at night he was wandering around upstairs all night looking up at the ceiling and sometimes barking....now Lenny has always done this cause of his eyes but it has gotten worse over the past few weeks. Dogtor thinks he has been doing this more often cause of the blister and the ulcer....and the pain.....

Now after a few days of meds one good thing is that his eyes are open more but he is still doing the wandering & looking up at the ceiling, and the eye with the blister in it looks all red and irritated...mom thinks it is because she has to stop some of his other meds for the pressure in his eye, cause his meds would conflict with one another....so Lenny goes back to the eye dogtor on Tuesday to check everything out again.

Hopefully Lenny will get back to sleeping normally and the blister & ucler go away for GOOD!

Over & out

Harrison

Oh MY!

So I know it has been a while since we all last spoke and I am so very sorry but you know when your typist gets "stressed" you like to keep them calm once they walk in the door. So I think mom sort of had a small breakdown Friday night from work...poor mom was so tired she fell asleep really quickly that night and I stayed with her while Lenny was wondering the halls.

Anyway mom is better today we kinda did nothing all weekend except she bathed US and she comb me for like a hour!!! She put me to sleep...I think mom was lonely so I let her :) Anyway today is Tuesday and she is up at the crack of dawn! I am like go back to sleep! You are on V A C A T I O N!!!!!!!! yeah MOM! She doesnt go back to work till Sept 9th.....but little did we know that she put us in the car and we ended up at the VET! Geesh nothing FUN!

Anyway me being the big brother opted to give my dogtor a fresh poop sample just for him...you know I have never seen mom's face so red! BOL! Anyway I got on that cold slippery table first and gave mom the saddest eyes possible...nothing worked she just kept on yapping at the dogtor, at least he gave me a kiss.

Good news for me (I think) from the last time I was at the vet I had lost 2 pounds...but guess what! I got them BACK!!!!!!!!! BOL!

Dogtor was happy that I did and mom told him that I am getting more senstive with everything and dogtor said to watch anything just call....well I think all of our moms are the same...they watch you like a hawk and anything out character ask your friends on dogster and call the VET!

Now a little bad news I guess....mom has been noticing a few spots.....and most of them go away so dogtor said not to worry but 2 months ago mom noticed a few black spots around my ears...they didnt feel the same as the others but she chose not to worry and that I am getting my check up soon anyway.....well dogtor said it is a form of skin cancer like Lenny had removed 2 times already from his leg....but now I have them on my head......listen all you little pups...dont lay in the SUN! listen to your mom when she tells you to lay in the shade or go in the house! So Iam getting them removed at the end of this month...Hmmm I wonder if they will shave my head??

Ohh almost forgot another thing that happened Friday was mom finally heard back from the dog food company (the food I got sick on) anyway I think that might have finished her day. They told mom that there was no baterica or anything yucky in the can (which is good) but that there might have been a higher fat percentage that is normally not in the can and I reacted to that....:-/ mom knows in her heart and soul it was that dog food...and she did return all the cans and wont buy that product again....but he did tell her that they are bringing the dog food back to the US in a new warehouse to make the product and they are changing the receipe..who knows? It is ok we are using halo right now and that is working out for us along with our L/D.

I guess I should tell you about Lenny....anyway he cried....but I heard mom say he cried cause he has a boney butt....and no meat like me! Ahhh HELLO! Mom I am right HERE! insult I tell ya!

Now his issues...ever since Lenny had the blister in his eye he really hasnt opened that eye up fully.....and mom has been watching it like a hawk...giving him extra meds, warm face cloth everynight and keeping the room dark just the way he likes it...but dogtor said he should go back to the eye dogtor cause he said mom is right that something else is going on but we are just not sure what? Poor En, I actually feel bad for him.....he is such a good boy for all his appts. But mom has an appt this Friday with the eye dogtor...cross your paws it is not something new for him...

Anyway I have asked mom several times to update my picture so you can see how pretty I look with my new fresh clean coat...I must say I look good :P...and Lenny does too

Ohh and mom did get her car back with a new transmission..way to go mom!! Which means if the temperature goes down a little we can go for a stroller ride!!!!!!

Well thats it for now..

Poor mom

Well mom had Thursday & today off and we went to Jack Darling park in our stroller!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is just too cool! Why didnt mom get us a stroller YEARS ago?

Anyway we only got told once that it was silly and your dogs have 4 legs for a reason mom told them to go and "suck a duck", she was with her mom also and they walked away and mom & her mom started laughing.

We had a BLAST! We even went in the sand and the water! Mom has never brought us near sand and water....it was a warm day and I just loved my paws getting wet in the water but Lenny the cry baby wasnt sure what to make of it all.....he just wanted back in the stroller :)

Anyway we did end up having a fun afternoon and then we came home and slept till dinner, until

THUNDER came to vist :( sorry for keeping you up mom

And now we come to today.....

Mom went out to do her normal pick up stuff and her parents where with her, as she was coming out of the pet store cause she says she needs to feed the stupid green bird...anyway she started up her car and mom said something just wasnt right......then the biggest noise you could imagine...and her car starting chugging.....mom was scared but thought she should get the car to the shop she goes to...and mom had beautiful angels looking out cause she said it was scarey driving as her steering was even going.....she just got into the shop in time....

Bad news for mom she thinks it is her transmission.....which means more money.....mom needs a break.....she came home saying if it isnt one of us getting sick it is something else! So mom has no car till sometime next week...but she can use one of the cars her parents have which is too bad...but it just isnt mom's car!

Ohh I did tell mom that is was ok to be carless cause we have the stroller now!!! BOL Sorry mom tried to put some humor in the day.

Hey...did you all get a magazine called Shih Tzu Puppies volume 2 ?? Well mom picked it up before everything today and Coco Bean's mom was quoted in one of the articles! Way Cool Coco Bean!

Harrison's Tails :P

BOL!

Sorry couldn't help it :-P

Anyway thought I should let you all know...that mom finally called the dog food place back and he still has not gotten the results from the dog food company back but mom is on him...and he knows that mom wants an answer.

So mom went to the dog store this weekend and picked up some Halo canned food, they have salmon, chicken & lamb...and mom only bought the small can and it cost $2.00 per can and this is only enough for 1 dinner between Lenny and I. So she opened up the can Lenny took a sniff and backup! BOL! I carefully smelled it and noticed it smelled like salmon but didnt look like salmon....so mom got the spoon out I tried it and it wasnt bad...just looks bad. Lenny thought if I was eating it that he should try it and he liked it too!

So for the first time since I got sick I actually ate a full 1/2 cup of dry dog food with a few tablespoons of Halo on top and so did lenny! But now mom needed the results of what happens to Halo when it comes out the other end....

The good news for mom & us that it came out no problem in full form :-) but she is not going to give it to us everyday and she is not totally sold on it....so she also bought us more chicken so I guess that is what we are having for dinner tonight.

Ohhh and the stroller is all put together but between the rain, thunder and moms back we have not used it....mom irritated her back that is already not in good shape about 2 weeks ago bringing down a 36inch tv down 12 stairs...I know STUPID MOM! she knows she isnt suppose to be doing that but what can you tell her!! Geeezz....so she is trying to take it easy.

Good news is that mom is off on thursday & friday this week...which means we are gonna have to get mom out so we can try the stroller OUT!!! it looks really cool.......Lenny keeps sniffing the wheels wondering what it is all about.....hopefully by the end of this week we can stroll around the neighbourhood with no rain!

Almost forgot! Mom thinks there is something going around in the air cause we both have had red eyes...really bad and I made mom mad the other day cause I was rubbing my face so much that one of eyes was swollen shut :(...lucky mom knew what to do but she said it was bad....under my eyes were so red and puffy that she said I looked like a PUG! No offensive to pugs...I love the little guys...but come on mom! I guess I really made my wrinkles come out! BOL!

Anyway mom got my eye to open this weekend with lots & lots of drops and she seems to have the redness under a little control.

Must go and find Lenny....I think he is up to something.....

Update

Well mom thought that I should update yoou all on what has been happening....

I have started to eat some hard dog food , I started that on Saturday night, only 1/4 cup and the rest was either chicken or trout. So I am not back to my normal self...my moms sister tried to give me a treat (timbits) which i LOVE and I turned my head away...little did moms sister know that mom was watching and mom came around the corner and said I was a good boy for refusing! Geez....mom it is only cause I am still not feeling 100%.

So for my pills mom stopped giving me one of them and I am still taking 2 of them for the next few days and then I will have to go back to get my pee tested again, they said they would need the first morning pee and that they would need to put a needle in my tummy to get the fresh stuff :-P

As for the food testing we are still waiting to hear from the company as they ended up sending it to a US company to get tested and hopefully by the end of this week mom should hear something.

Ohh poor Enny...mom brought him for his blister in the eye checkup and good news that the blister is gone but mom mentioned to the eye dogtor that both his eyes seem to be more red than normal....like mom would look at his eyes in the AM they would be normal and 1 hour later they are red? dogtor said it could be just the weather and or allergies in the air.....everytime I turned around En was getting eye drops this weekend....so mom is on tzu watch for En's eyes....we might give mom a break with dogtors appointments maybe later this month?

Hmmm we will have to see.....:-P

Does your mom embarrass U?

Ok so from Monday the dogtor told mom that if I didnt eat that I would be back in da hospital Tuesday...so I ended up eating the boiled chicken and some rice :) So instead of mom sleeping mondau night she stayed up and watched me! So not my fault if she is tired!

Anyway mom comes home last night which was Tuesday and I got to have bolied chicken and plain pasta!! So mom first made Lenny's dinner and he got canned dog food and some chicken at first and I started to PANIC! MOM what about ME! HELLO?? Mom said that my pasta was still cooking and to relax....so I waited and mom got my dinner together...lets just say I ate my normal 1/2 cup of dog food and it was YUMMMYYYYYYYYY :) Mom was so happy but Lenny was a little hurt cause he usually gets all the attention and he doesnt like it when I get something different so mom had to get him some pasta too :P (what a baby!)

Anyway we go upstairs to do a few things and mom is walking by the bathroom and HELLO once again I am trying to get some PRIVACY!!! on the pee pee pad.....she was so happy telling me that I am such a good boy and you know for what? Cause I pooped on the pee pee pad! Have you ever seen your mom happy for that? Just cause it was my first poop since I got sick! I am like come on MOM! relax it is POOP! By this time Lenny is rolling is eyes cause mom is being silly~

So far so good.....good poop, ate my first complete meal, still on meds for another week and half, but if anything changes mom has to call da dogtor asap.

I want to Thank all da pups for sending prayers for me, mom is hoping to get results of the dog food by the end of this week...if not she will be calling them on Monday! When we find out we will let you know

A happier Harrison is da house :)

Afternoon update

So mom talked to the dogtor and he said my test results were all ok for a man my age. My liver looked a little better than my last blood test which is good. But he did say that he thinks I have a Urinary Tract Infection and that I am on another medication along with my other 2...geez I am getting like Lenny with prescriptions now!!

Anyway dogtor said that if I didnt eat tonight I would be back in the hospital.:( so mom bought chicken and boiled it with rice and I loved the chicken and I ate some rice, so about 1/4 cup today compared to my 1/2 cup a day.

Mom can see that I am still queezy and she is being careful picking me up cause last couple times she did that is when I got really sick all over with no warning....you know what I mean..I normally start the process of throwing up...this stuff just came out no warning.

It is pretty gross feeling like this. Now the bad dog food man came to moms work today and picked up the food, he was shipping it to Ottawa to get tested for tomorrow...so maybe by the end of the week mom will know what the deal is with the food. as for mom getting some tested my regualr dogtor is not back from vacation and the other yonger dogtors are not sure, and mom emailed University of Guelph where they have a great vets program and state of the art stuff so she is waiting on a reply cause mom can drive it up if she has too!

Anyway I am going to go to bed soon....I have my paws crossed that I can sleep through the night and not get sick tonight.

Not a happy boy :-(

I was sick again last night, so I kept mom & Lenny up again....I really tried not to be sick again but I just couldnt help it.

One good thing is that mom got my test results back and dogtor said things look normal and that my liver was a little better than last time.

But why am I still getting sick? Dogtor is not sure but mom is going to make me boiled chicken & rice tonight cause I am not eating and I refused to take my pills this morning.

If I dont eat tonight dogtor said that I will need to go back in the hospital :(. Cross your paws that mom makes a good boiled chicken tonight.

Update from Hospital today

Hi All

First we would like to Thank everyone for there prayers for me.

Mom did get to take me home tonight after 6 hrs on a drip with medication.

They took everything out of me they could thinks of today. The dogtors told mom I started to perk up a little this afternoon but to watch me this weekend and hopefully I will start eating when I feel like it.

Mom will get the test results for what they call a vomiting & diarrhea profile.

I am NOT happy with mom at this time, she knows I am not feeling well, and I know she is trying to make me better but I just want to be left alone. I am actually hiding in Lenny's house right now and you cant see me unless you bend down and look right into the house.

Now as for the food mom called the store she bought it from and they said there is nothing that they can do but to contact the distributor in Canada, so we did. Mom had just dropped me in the house and her cell rang and it was the manager calling her back.

He asked questions but he didnt seem to understand as they have had no other complaints about there food. He also told mom that all the food is made at the same time which means all the cans she has along with the other flavours have the same lot code on them :(.

He told mom that he is going to get a salesperson to come and get the food so he can bring it to Ottawa where they are located to get it tested....BUT mom was thinking to keep some and for her to get it tested but she is not sure where to get this done?

What do you all think? Should mom get some tested on her own if she can find a place or does she trust that they will tell her the truth on the results? Mom knows it was the dog food and even my vet said that I have never been this sick before.

Anyway I am going to bed but Enny will be around....

Love, Harrison

Back in Hospital :(

Mom just dropped me off at the vet cause I have been non stop throwing up and the stuff that comes out the other end too....I am dehydrated so the dogtor said to leave me today till mom gets off work and she can hopefully come and get me. They are running blood tests on me also to check my liver and stuff while I am in for today.

This all started last night about 1am, mom knows it was the canned dog food that she fed me last night......Lenny had another one so he is ok just a little grumpy cause we kept him up last night.

Mom will update you once she knows more.

Pee Pee Pads & Shredding :P

So we have a pee pee pads in the kitchen, by the back door and upstairs for the just in case...no problem right?

Well.....

Lets just say when everyone goes out normally Lenny & I are gated in the kitchen, but this one day....we "thought" no one was home.....we knew mom went to work but what we didnt know is that mom's sister was over in what we call the big tv room at the other end of da house....

So....

Lenny & I think we are all alone....so we think....dats not nice they forgot about us...didnt even gate us in the kitchen, lets cause TROUBLEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So mom's sister heres rustling of paper? something....and she slowly walks into the hallway and notices cotton and plastic over the floor....coming from da kitchen.... then she looks at me....OMD I was caught red pawed! I had pee pee pad all over my face! Lenny was just lookin at me laughing cause he started it....and I was just trying to clean it up!

So everyone now thinks I started the shredding...really it wasnt me...I have never ever done that in my life before...it was really Lenny he was egging me on....and I get caught!

Mom's sister ends up cleaning up da mess and she couldnt stop laughing cause I had the padding part all stuck in my top knot and everywhere and Lenny had NOTHING!

I think he framed me! What do you think?

You see for the past 2 mornings she has been here at the house till after 7am....this is strange? Mom is normally outta the house by 6am.....

So she is dressed and ready to go but she uses the puter in the AM....she never does this unless it is the weekend...and this is not the weekend....she is looking at me werid? But she says I am looking at her werid?

She tells me to go back to bed and that she will see me later......which is about 4-4:15pm...lets see it is after 5pm? Where the HECK are you MOM? You are L A T E ! I am HUNGRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so she walks in....says Hi, ignoring me, I am asking her why is she late? hmmm no answer? She makes us dinner and just continues on....but you see this happened 2 days in a row?

I tell ya if it happens again tomorrow...I am going to have to sit her down and we are going to have to redo this "new" schdule she is on...I am NOT changing mine.

Ohh and Lenny just looked at mom these past 2 days, gave her the grumpy old man look and turned away BOL! Sorry couldnt help but laugh at that....that look is priceless!

2nd Mom came home and since it was a cooler day compared to what we have been getting around here...mom took us for a walk! Yeah mom! Lenny was crazy happy and ended up tripping mom at least 3 times on the walk.

3rd We get back to the house and mom gives us trout and potatoes for dinner!! OMD! Super duper yummmmmyy in my tummy!

4th We had a great play time up in the puter room and then Lenny lets out this really big BURP! OMD! mom thought it was her mom! NOOO it was LENNY! The burping KING! I tell ya!

Well...guess what!!!!!!!

The big 10 is coming :)

And I found out that mom had ordered us a cake and stuff from this place called kool dog cafe! They are in New Mexico! Geez I hope the postman can find his way to our house.....it seems like a really long way.

http://kooldogkafe.com/

You see mom wanted to get us a different birthday cake this year...and with her work being busy she doesnt have time to make one even though she has lots & lots of receipes.

It is even going to be Angel Norton's birthday next week! Mom knew there was a reason I picked her. Lenny was just an addon after the fact BOL! (just joking) could not help myself.

Anyway this weekend it is woofstock in Toronto. Way cool event! We are even allowed to go! But mom said if the weather stays as what the weatherman is saying....then we wont be cause it is suppose to be about 40C with the humidx which S U C K S!

http://www.woofstock.ca/ini.html

Lets see other than that we are still on our countdown to see Chelsea!!!!!!!!

Anyway I must get along I still have some dinner left..and before Enny claims it is his...I must move along.

New Puter :)

Thank DOG!

Mom is a little happier now. We finally have our new puter and mom is liking it and actually so am I :) It is quite nice. I must say this is mom's first pre built puter. She has always had custom puter'd done. So she wanted a change and we are happy she is happy.

Ohh and the other good news! Mom did not lose almost 10 years worth of Harrison & Lenny pictures!! Lucky for her she had someone to recover what was on the old puter. And now tonight all those files are on the new one safe and sound. Good thing too I was wondering why my picture wasnt on the screen!

So it is the big 1o coming up for Enny & I , mom cant believe it has been almost 10 years! We can! BOL! sorry mom :P

Ohh and our other countdown to meet Miss Chelsea herself!!! We are super duper excited on that :) We are counting down the days.

Over & Out

Harrison

Countdown is on!

OMD! I dont believe it! Lenny & I will be 10 years old June 14th!!! Mom says times flies when your having soo much fun! She is right!

Hmm I wonder what mom is going to do for our birthday? Maybe it is time Lenny & I start sneaking around to see what is up...

Even though we are on the liver diet mom has to get us a cake! She just has too!!!! I will just tell my dogtor it was important we get a cake! Cause we have to share with all of our friends!

Ohh mom finally ordered us a new puter...should be here hopefully this week..but she still has to get all of our pictures and stuff off the old one....she may need to ask someone to do that for her cause she is too busy with work right now.

Other than that things have been pretty good around the house. Mom says we still smell good from our bath last week which is pretty good for us! Oh and mom took us for a walk on Satursday afternoon to tire us out so she could cut Lenny's nails...he HATES to have this done....but mom is smart cause it worked. He fell asleep while she was cutting them, he must have been in la la land cause he was crying in his sleep and barking!! BOL!

Anyway...I must go and maybe think about hiding weatherman said we might get thunder today...and since I dont like it....I must find a place to hide or someone to hold me :-P

Hugs
Harrison

Surprise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lets see today was a G O O D day!! You wanna know why?

It is nice out....and mom took us for another walk today...it was GREAT!

Plus we are really liking the the L/D food even the canned stuff! No upset tummies mom is happy, we are happy :)

Mom has also taken off Monday & Tuesday of next week so we can chill maybe go down to Jack Darling to the lake...it is really pretty there...plus we have not been since last summer.

Ohh and the BESTEST news!!! In July we are meeting Beach Angel Chelsea!!!!!!!!

Mom put a countdown calendar under the Canadian Boys for us!!! We are sooo excited!!

There is only 1 down fall to mom taking a 2 days off...she said we need a bath....:( ....now we are wondering if there is anyway to change her mind?


Over & out for now....but I will be back!

Harrison :)

Walk? no? ......YES!

Well since my visit to the vet last week doctor said that I was NOT allowed to go on a walk till I felt better.....

So mom talked to the dogtor yesterday and said that I can go on "short" walks and I am not to get tired out.

So mom took us to the mailbox and back which was about 10 mins but it was a beautiful sunny day and the sun was really warm and I think that was a good enough walk for today. Mom said that she will take me on another one tomorrow.

Ohh and we started the liver diet dog food today. Mom picked up a 20 pound bag!! She said that was the smallest it came in. So we normally have 1/2 cup of dry and 2 tablespoons of wet...so mom gave us 1/4 of duck and 1/4 of the liver stuff and our normal wet till we get use to this new stuff....

So far it doesnt taste too bad.....but time will tell :-P

Mom also gave us some cottage cheese - guys this stuff is super yummy!!

Ohh and we tried yogurt also!!! Not bad stuff :-)

Anyway I think it is time to go and check out to see when Enny is......time to bug my little brother..BOL

Hope all pups have a great weekend :-)

Update on me :-)

I went to the vet 4pm my time to talk to the vet. So I went in and the test results are not back from his blood test but he is still saying it was either a stroke or I cant remember the name he called it but an inner ear infection that throws off your balance...
For a dog that has really never had an ear infection this totally threw me.....

Dr said he is not sure if they will even be able to tell which one it was...but he is still very wobbley in walking. He is not allowed up or down the stairs and needs to be watched. His eyes are still twitching back and forth.

Dr said everything should come back slowly but if he has an episode like this again to bring him back in asap.....

I can tell you he is very happy to be home right now and both Lenny & I are very happy to have him home.

We would like to thank all pups for your prayers for Harrison today. Please continue praying for him to get back to the "normal" Harrison.

Right now both Lenny & Harrison are sleeping on the bed. We all hope to have a peaceful nights sleep.

Not a good Morning

Well I went and scared mom & enny today......

You see I am at my dogtors and they think that I have had a stroke.......mom and lenny are really upset....mom is worried......not sure but I know I have the bestest dogtor around and he will help me.

Mom will update as soon as she knows more. The good sign right now is when mom picked me up my gums were white....and I could not walk :-( but when mom got me to the dogtor I had a little color back in my gums but it was hard seeing mom leave...I have never been alone at the dogtor with out mom or lenny.......

Please pray for me I need all the power of the paw today pups.

Love,
Harrison

She is not microchiped... she was scheduled to be this month.

She is gold and white with a white tail and four white paws.
She is aprox 10 lbs and has a black rubberband in her top knotch.


I cant thank everyone enough for all the prayers and kind and comforting words, I am really trying to stay calm, but its not working. If any of you would like to post her information some where that would great.. I am trying to get her all the exposure I can get.
I know she couldnt have gone far becuase she doesnt run.. she is a roamer and sniff sniff... im sure you all know how that is

I am praying that she did not have to sleep out in the cold last night and are going to do anything in my power to try and find my baby girl.
She is my life, my everything...
I have seen STAFU prayers work MANY times.. and I just hope that the lord above will hear us howling and will bring my baby girl back to me safely.

Love you all and Thank you

Tattle TALE of a BROTHER!!!!!!!!

Happy New Year everyone!!!!!

This is how the new year started....Lenny screeching at 8am....cause he wasnt sure where everyone was.....DUH! open your eyes! everyone was sleeping till that point!

So we had about another 10-15 cm of snow...and it is still snowing...so you know I went out and did my thing came back in for my morning breakfast went back to bed for a bit....

Mom's sister came over and let us back out in the fresh snow!! F U N!!!

I was doing my thing....trying to poop in peace..and I did....UNTIL.....Lenny starts barking cause I turn around and look at the kinda hot steamy fudge in the snow...you know it looks good.....BUT all of a sudden I hear in a really mean voice.....HARRISON STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ohh crap mom caught me cause of Lenny! I looked up saw her face and I froze! Then mom told Lenny to get me in the house....so what does that little butt kisser do? Runs after me....corrals me and chases me in the house in to the kitchen where mom is waiting....

Lenny walks in gets told good boy gets a treat...he leaves...I pretend nothing is wrong go up and talk to mom waggin my tail....with a big smile....and she just shakes her head....I am like WHAT?? I was just lookin....didnt touch......no response??

She looks at me and said there better not be a next time...and told me to go to my bed and lay down for a while......

You know....sometimes it is great to have a brother to get in trouble with....but when they turn on you!!!! Watch you back!!!

Hopefully things will go back to normal since mom is back at work for the rest of the week!! PEACE & QUIET for 3 days...or till the weekend!!

Hope everyone had a great New Years!

PS Did ya all hear? Lenny & Mollie are offically engaged!!!

We seen SANta PAws!!!!

OMD! What a night last night!!

So this is how it started....we were leaving the house and it was SNOWING!!! Ohhh...Santa is wanting this is be a really good night :-)...so mom needed to carry us into the mall so we would not get dirty lucky mom brought her sister with her! And mom says when my hair gets wet...it gets wavy...and curly...she covered me up and she got covered in snow so I would look good for Santa!! See mom does love me!

So we get there and there was 1 other pup names Wally!! He was a tzu, he had just gotten his hair cut short and I think he was 3 years old...but we all really liked each other! I must admit I am the brave one in the mall! Lenny was standing there with his tail half down not sure what to think..all these people were walking by asking to pat us...and it was really really fun!!!

So this man comes up to mom and asks do you mind if we interview you for Global News...mom said sure! So they told us to line up for Santa...and the news lady comes over and the camera is on US!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mom introduces us to the lady and she asks mom a few questions, about why would people bring there pets in to see Santa? Well why not? She was telling the lady that they are my kids and they deserve the best that I can provide and plus it is fun, Santa is SUPER nice , plus the money is donated to a charity.

Sooooo after Santa we headed out after we said by to Wally(hope we get to see him again) and this man and his daughter were running after us wanting to take pictures of me and Lenny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He said that we were beautiful pups!! and no one believed mom when she told them we were 9 years old!!!

Ohh and when mom went to work people saw us and said that they didnt realize that they knew SUPER STARS!!!!!!! BOL! Then mom went to the bank and another customer came up to her and said that she looked familar....BOL!!! Then the lady remembered it was from the news last night!!!

Ok...I know I talk too much about Santa!! Sorry it was F U N!!!!

Anyway mom had her appointment and she was told that she has moderate carpal tunnel and that she needs to wear a splint and get injections in to calm down the nerves...so she wasnt too surprised but I think mom still thinks it is something more....but she will find out...the dogtor told her that if it doesnt get better in 4 weeks then she will need to come back....

Ohh and poor Lenny...I know he has only had his new medication since last Thursday but his ear is not looking any better....it looks red and raw :-(..mom called the dogtor and said leave it till Thursday and come back....hope Lenny feels better soon cause when something is bothering him..he doesnt like to play as much....

So...I must go and get my face washed and see what mom is up to tonight!!

Thanks for listening to me tonight!

Hugs
Harrison *still thinkin of Santa Paws

cOUntDowN tO SAntA!

It is now2 more nights before we get to go to the mall to see Santa!!!!!!!!!!

We are going Monday night when mom gets home from work!!! Cant wait gotta work on my list and me and Lenny have to get together so we dont duplicate what we ask for!! BOL!

Mom was at the mall today and she said she saw Santa and let him know that the boys will be in to see him Monday night!! Santa said that he was looking forward to seeing us!! OMD! Santa remembers us!!!!

Thats means Santa will remember me talking about my beautiful girlfriend Tuesday!!! We have already done our shopping...just a few more little things...but I will need to ask Santa for something special for Tuesday. She makes me smile everytime I see her :-)

Then on Tuesday mom goes to the hospital for her pinched nerve problem so they can run some tests on her...hopefully they will be able to tell her something...but if it is what she thinks they will probably just run the test and then her doctor will call her in 2-3 weeks for results....but we will look after mom!!

We went out today for a short walk cause it was sunny but C O L D!! man you gotta get use to it being 10C one day and then the next -10C....I told mom I needed my winter boots on...cause we had some freezing rain, a little snow...but other people put salt on there walkways...and it hurts bad when it gets in my toes!!

Ohh and Lenny....poor little bro...he was at teh dogtor the other night cause he still has an ear infection that just wont go away....and he was given another medication and he has to go back in 7 days to get it looked at. I stayed at home eating my yummy dinner while Lenny went to the dogtor with mom. Mom told me that Lenny screamed soo loud that the receptionist came in to check on them....the dogtor was pulling hair out of his ears...and he hates this!!! plus he had a manicure & pedicure.....lets just say when they got home mom got the cold shoulder from Lenny for the night!! Which was good cause I got the cuddle time :-)

Anyway I think I have rambled enough....mom did say that we were getting a bath tomorrow cause Santa doesnt like stinky pups coming to see him......not sure what she is talking about...I think we smell pretty good!! hopefully mom will forget over night about the bath thing....cross your paws!

Hugs

mY LIfE

Well this will be a short as I need to get caught back up on my sleep....mom has been off for the past few days and she has kept us BUSY!!! Which is good...but come on....this is not normal for me...I usually sleep while she is working all day! But mom went back to the doctor and some pups know that she has back issues.....and she still cannot feel her left leg...but she goes on and I think she does pretty good!

But for the last 2 months she has found now her fingers on both hands are going numb...the right one is worse than the left which is not good since she is right handed....so the doctor's confirmed it yesterday...she has more pinched nerves in her neck...actually 2 which I guess they go along with the other 4 in her lower back!!! So mom is back to see a surgeon and she will need to go to the hospital to see what they are going to do...but knowing the health care here....she will be waiting about 4-6 months before she gets in.....but mom is not sad...I think this is something she has already come to terms with and she will deal with it. I think going through all her back pain for a few years had taught her not to worry about it...but just to deal with it as things come.

So I am going back to my bed to catch up on the past 72 hours of missed sleep....but Lenny wanted me to let everypup know that the list is COMPLETE! for the gift exchange and he is ready to email everyone on the weekend!!


Hugs Always

Harrison

Fall is HERE!

So I know it has been a little while since I have written...and I am very sorry. Things have been a little busy at all areas of life!

We had Thanksgiving and it was a nice quiet long weekend with temps 40C with the humidX...hello? this is Canada....it should be about 10C.....at least the air is still on so we relaxed watched movies....and just chilled. It was nice. Mom was also home for a few extra days BUT she was sick!!!!! She ended up getting brochitis sp? and she kept us up coughing all NIGHT!!!! Now she is actually feeling better but still has a bad cough that just wont go away!!!!

So after mom went back to work.....she came home and looked at me and saw black grease? or dirt something smelly in my hair...she couldnt figure out what I had gotten into....UNTIL....we went out back and I started going crazy let me tell you!!! It was the greatest thing ever! I am sure most of you have found something like this....I layed on the green grass rolled and rolled it was SOO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought I was smelling G R E A T!!!!!!!!! then it happened...mom turned her head and yelled my name and I didnt stop! It was too much fun! Lenny was barking at me...telling me that I better stop cause mom's face was going R E D!!!!! You see that means trouble! Now I understand she was yelling at me so I waited until she was beside me, I stopped rolling and was still on my back just looking at her.....I didnt want her to see my special "surprise".

Well mom picked me up and I was COVERED...uh oh!! My white hair was blackish / brown stinky stuff. So guess what happened next....yup..I got a BATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She had to scrub this stuff off, shampoo me twice, condition twice to get the smell out.

That took about 2.5 hrs...I went back outside to do some business and I slowly walked over to my special spot and mom and Lenny were both watching me...and it was G O N E!!!!!!! She took it away...how could she? It was my special spot! I think Lenny was jealous!

Anyway mom thinks my special spot was some kind of wild animal mess...she just said it was gross, I am just sad I miss my friend :-( maybe someday he will come back.

So after that adventure mom comes home today and I have my eye closed! She just looks at me and shakes her head! Not another dog with eye issues!!! My eye right now is totally red....she said the blood vessels are all broken in my eye and it is a little puffy. We are going to the dogtor tomorrow. Hopefully it is an easy thing....I hope cause I am not like Lenny...I am really upset when something is wrong with me and I hurt. Lenny knows this cause he wont leave my side.

Anyway I will update you once we get home tomorrow night.

Mom is going to put a warm cloth on my eye hopefully it will make it feel better.

Hope everyone has a great October!!! Halloween is just around the corner!!!

Hugs
Harrison

wOo Hoo!

Mom is on V A C A T I O N !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We can now sleep in...kick back and relax until Sept 9th!!!

But I guess there has to be 1 hitch.....she came home and said get ready boys! Tomorrow is bath day! I dont know how Lenny & I could have timed it any better both of our wagging tails stopped and dropped!

Mom started laughing!!!!!! Not funny MOM!!!!!!

Anyway that will be ok cause she said later that day we will go out in the car for a treat!! so...in the end not a bad deal!

Anyway long weekend is here which means all the kids will be going back to school on Tuesday...so Lenny will be busy in the window counting kids, buses, cars...his usual!

I think mom is also going to clean out all the toys and old beds that we dont use anymore and give them to the animal shelter here just like she does every year..so hopefully some pups get some nice toys and still really good beds...it makes us feel better to know that we helped out some...cause you know if mom went in she would come out crying and wanting to bring home everyone! So we all help out in one way or another.


Anyway gotta go get my face washed and get ready for Big Brother!!!!!

Hope everyone has a great Thursday night!

Hugs
Harrison

Today is a new day!

Well as most of you know yesterday both Lenny & I went to the vet for our annual shots, and what ever else mom had in mind.

So we both got a manicure & pedicure which was ok......

We both got 3 needles.....that last one kinda hurt...and I was giving mom the evil eye..........

We got poked in the butt....teeth looked at....eyes looked at....ohh and the best....we both got weighed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You should have heard mom!! BOL!!!!!!!!!!!

You see.....I am now offically a 20 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!! (mom thinks it is from me sneaking all the extra food....well..I kept telling her you leave it , ITS MINE!

Now Lenny..which we were a little surprised is at 16 pounds...at least the last time I was at the vet I was 19.5 pounds he was 15 pounds so he actually gained more than me!!!

The vet told mom not to worry and that I still look good for my age!

So mom decided that we all go for a walk today and it was F U N!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There was a nice cool breeze , went to the park , but she said when she is off on her vacation that we can go to Jack Darling park which is by the water, we can watch the ducks and stuff!!! Cant wait!

Anyway we are both a little pooped out from dogtors yesterday and a walk today..you gotta remember we are old men!! We can only go so far! I think mom needs to look into getting us a stroller then we could go for hours!!

So I am going for a nap...be back later

Hugs always

Harrison XOXO

Countdown to Our BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!

K, so I saw mom come home with 2 really really big bags......

I know what it is....it is our birthday cake!!!! But we cant have it till tomorrow cause that is our real birthday!!!!

So if you are reading this you must have seen my new main picture and Lenny's!!! Are you laughing...we got into the water in the backyard...and when it is hot out I like to "sit" in the middle where the sprinkler is....you know I like to be a little cool but I just sat there and mom was watching me and she said nothing and then Lenny joined in.....OMD! Lenny usually stays 100ft away from the sprinkler but nope not tonight...mind you at this time he is not happy being wet inside the house....air conditioner kinda makes you a little cold when you are this WET!!

Anyway Lenny & I will be 9 years old tomorrow!!! So that means we will get our cake tomorrow night when mom gets home from work...hopefully we dont need to eat dinner..unless it is something good!!!

So I hope you all have a great night!

Hugs
Harrison

I hope you enjoy playing this game.

Spring is here!!

Well lets see.....it has been a little bit since the last time I wrote....and here is the reason....

Mom has not been feeling too well and she went to the doctor he gave her this HUGE needle in her back so it would hopefully help her (mom has back problems and now her left leg is numb) anyway she started feeling better but she still has the numbness....but the point of the story is that she is feeling better which means she will do more stuff with us!!

Ohh and we got groomed again from that same lady that gave us a report card!!! Mom was soo happy she framed it!! We were really happy to see that lady again she is really nice!! Plus it is like we have the run of the store while all the other pups are locked up!! It is GREAT! (I think I understand why Dom & Suzy Q like to work with there mom!!)

So after the grooming we decided to drop in on mom at WORK! I love moms work!! Lenny and I run around and talk to everyone!! So we get there here moms voice and RUN to where she was!!! She was really happy to see us plus we smelled really good!! But we could stay long cause Lenny & I were getting tired!!

Ohhh and I have been bugging mom to take a new picture and at least change my music.....so we have done the first...pictures DONE....maybe we might do the music tomorrow....gotta think of a new song for my girl Tuesday!

Anyway today is Friday and we get to S L E E P in tomorrow!!! YIPEEEEEEE

Grooming ~ SPA TREATMENT~

Well last Saturday mom brought us to a new place called Second Tub it is really close to our house and since we all seemed to like the groomer lady....we went!!!

So....mom comes back about 3 hours later and Lenny is already done but I am still in the process of getting pretty so they told mom to hide in the corner cause they did not want to see me get upset cause I was VERY unhappy that mom just walked out of the store...I was like...H E L L O ...did ya forget something ma??? But I was SUPER DOOPER happy when I was done! I go bathed, nails trimmed, belly shaved, face cleaned and my hair was flat ironed so it was super flat but now it is a little messy as it was last Satuday that we went.

Anyways.....Lenny and I looked like super models!! Mom was very happy and she is now going to bring us back every 4-6 weeks until she gets better.

Ohhhh I forgot the most important thing...We got a report card...our first one and we got A+!!!!!!! Mom also picked up some apple treats and a few toys that day!!!

So we get home and a couple of days previous we had a big snowfall here...on Feb 14th....so we had FRESH SNOWWWWWWWWWW....do you wanna know what we did???

We ran outside and played in the snow......like 2 snow bunnies!!!!! We were covered!!! Mom wasnt mad she was just happy that we were home!

Now I have asked mom to take some pictures but her hands are a little shakey from some medications that she is taking right now for her back...so when she is a little better I will make sure she takes some!!

Anyway I have missed all of my dogster friends!!!

I really miss Tuesday!!!

Over and Out

Hugs
~Harrison~

Sorry.....

that we have not been around too much....but mom is not feeling well...and Lenny gave mom a PRETTY BIG SCARE yesterday......

You see mom gives us just plain white rice...and usually mom calls me the one that inhales food....but not this time....it was Lenny...and well lets just say Lenny is lucky today! He started choking on the rice mom had to stick her fingers down his throat twice to make him throw up!!!!!!!!!!!! Lenny was shaking really bad..and so was mom!!! She just picked him up and held him for the rest of the afternoon.

But dont worry Lenny is fine now and back to normal and mom said NO MORE rice unless she is feeding us!

So we are trying out a new groomer on Wed Feb 14th, and mom needs to tell her what she can do and not do!! Mom is what you would call anal? about us!!! But she is taking the day off to be with us!!

So hopefully mom will post some new pictures soon!!

Anyway this is just a quick note to say Hi!!!

I miss you Tuesday!!!!! but you know I am always thinking about you!! XOXO

Note from Lenny to Mollie.....he misses you very much...XOXOXO

So hope everyone has a great night....


Hugs
Harrison

For Tuesday My Valentine

There's a special place in my heart
that only you can touch -
a place where I can go and feel you near.
Throughout the day I think of you.
I see your smile, hear your voice
and in my thoughts you lovingly appear.
The way we love each other
makes it hard to be apart
so when I can't hold you in my arms,
I hold you in my heart.


Love, Harrison

For My Valentine

To My Dearest Tuesday

Roses Are Red

Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
Carnations are Sweet
And so are you.
And so are they
That send you this
And when we meet
We'll have a kiss.

Love Always , Harrison

Well that waiting list was 15 doggies long!! So Lenny & I were not tooo happy.....but last night at 5:30pm GUESS WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY CALLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mom washed our faces, fixed our hair...thank god mom just bathed us on the weekend, otherwise Santa would had probably told us that we were stinky dogs!!

So last night we go in the car over to the mall which is only a 5 min drive.....You know once a year we are allowed in a mall.....and mom said that Lenny looks around the mall like he is a baby...you know they look at lights and everything around them and they have this look? Well that is Lenny. Me.....I am NOT leaving moms side...NOPE NO WAY!!! I like people I am not a mean dog what so ever....but I need to be comfortable....and I dont like MALLS but I do like SANTA! So we got in line after about 10 people stopping mom , can we touch your puppies....they ohhhh ahhhhh....and everyone was surprised to hear that we were 8 years old. Anyway we got our pictures taken and we were going to head out of the mall at go home...but that took us another 45 mins......(it only takes 5 mins to get to our car from Santa) but soooo many people wanted to talk...and we ended up with a crowd of people around us....Lenny was just sucking up all the attention...while I was crawling up mom's legs telling her to keep walking I wannna go home....

So we get home and we are all P O O P E D out!!!

Mom said that she will post the pictures later today.....she has today and tomorrow off so we are doing some stuff together...

So things on the vet area of my life have been pretty good....I have not seen him, he has not seen me!!! So we are both happy!! BOL

Now Lenny went to the vet cause he was having a few problems doing something...he is a little embarrassed about what it is...so all I can tell you is that it has to do with his bum area...but he is on meds right now for a few more days and he should be back to normal!!!

I forgot to post but I should have sooner if mom would stop working soo much....we got a package from Molly & Gracie from OK. Two beautiful tzu's from OK. They sent up a lion toy and some things for mom, that mom LOVED!!!! She put them on a shelf with other stuff that she said no tzu's can touch this....it is for me only....well one day I will see what that is!!!! I need to get mom to take a picture of this lion....he is actually quite cool!! We have not seen one like this before!!!

Thank You Miss Gracie & Miss Molly XOXOXOXOXOXOOXXO from Harrison & Lenny (you know the toy still has your smell on it!!! Lenny and I are still fighting over it)

So today we received some christmas presents!!! TWO!!!!!! In one day!!!!!!!!!! Do you know how exciting that is????? We called mom at work and told her to get her butt home NOW!!!!....and you know what...she did come home a little earlier today!!!

So Lenny actually received his exchange present today from a beautiful tzu named MISS ASHLEY JUNE, she is 6 months old lives in MD dogster #387349. So you should check out Lenny's page to see the pictures!!!

Happy Days!!!

Hey Everyone!!

Sorry it has been a while since I have updated my diary but you know things happen and I am a busy tzu!! So as most of you know momwas away for 5 days, 4 nights and she actually got an earlier flight home which was GREAT!! But she did not get the welcome she expected!! I casually went up to mom said Hi...and sat back down that was it, did not get excited, you know..you gotta show attitude!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I did till the presents came out!! BOL!

So when mom was away she said that she had someone very special come and visit her at the hotel....hmmmm...who could it be? Well.....it was LUCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and Lucy played with my little special alpaca teddy bear that mom took, it smelled of LUCY!!!!!!!! Mom said meeting LUCY and her mom was the highlight of her time away! LUCY & her mom are both so sweet and kind. They are the bestest friends that anyone could EVER have!

And today when mom got back from lunch she decides that my brother and me need a bath!!!!!!!!!! Ok now thats just enough!! It is only about 4C out today...and I gonna freeze parts of my body that I use to have!!! But mom just doesnt listen but I have to admit, I smell better and I know that I will have a good sleep tonight...and mom is back to work tomorrow so it will be a PEACEFUL Wednesday!!!

As for the itchy issue....mom has noticed that I am still itchy but not as bad as before....my manly chest hair is growing back nicely now, my winter coat is coming in. Which means lots of brushing!! Y U C K!!!!!!!!!!!

For STAFU members that are in the Xmas gift exchange. I just wanted to THANK everyone that joined up.

Ohhh and Thanks to everyone at STAFU that listened to me SULK while mom was away...I missed you all very much.

Hugs & Kisses
Yours,
Harrison

Oh Yah...forgot one thing

Well since we were at the vet today mom decided to weigh me....and well....I am now at 18.3 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Which means I gained 1.3 pounds in just over a week from prednisone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not taking anymore prednisone now....now it is the eye drops maxitrol.

I just told mom it is just more for her to love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hugs
Harrison XOXOXOXOXOX

Vet Visit...mom is not happy.....:-(

Ok...I know it is me again...about my vet issues but I wanted to know if anyone knew anything about this new medication that I have to take...maxitrol

You see mom went to clean my face last night and I guess she kinda panicked...cause my left eye was all puffy and inflammed it was really red...and all down by my nose was all gooky and gross...so she proceeded to cut my hair..........alot of it.......and clean my face......and then we went to bed in which I fell asleep on mom cause she had a cold face cloth on my face cause it was really hot....so we went to the vet this morning and now he is telling us that I still have hot spots but a different type...not sure how many types are out there. So the vet says that he thinks it maybe something irriating my eyes and thus I rub, rub, rub, all the time at my face....which then makes my eyes red, puffy, and everything else that I have done... make any sense yet?

And let me tell you....I cant wear a cone..cause Lenny takes it off of me all the time....it is something we started as puppies and have always done it! So unless mom is with me 24hrs....it wont work!! Mom is always impressed the way we can take the cone off!!!

Hey Gizzy, It is almost like opening up the cage!!! **Hint Hint**

Anyway I am back to the doctor in a week and a bit so cross your paws that this works!!!


UPDATE: Well Mom was searching on the internet and found out that the eye medication that I am on is like one Lenny gets everyday Tobradex!!! So I think mom is feeling better now!!

HUGS HARRISON XOXOXOXO

Update on me :-)

Well mom called the dogter today and said that I was still scratching and itching my face till it was driving her crazy!!! So........Mr.dogter told her to come and pick up some medication and try this for the week, if this doesnt clear it up then I guess some tests or something....

So I am on prednisone & cephalexin for the week...and mom was warned that I may start to eat too much so she has been picking up all FOOD and taking it out of my sight!!!!!!!!! Mom doesnt want me to gain any weight dogter said that I am at a perfect weight for my size :-)

Mom just doesnt want me to damage my eyes, cause I already gave myself an ulcer from rubbing so hard........so I am hoping that this will finally clear up my issues!!!!!!! You know it is just not fun having issues!!!!! It worries mom too much and she has next week offfffffffffffffff.....Y I P P E E !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which means she will be spending time with ME ME ME ME ME!!! I think we will be going to the store....to the park......and I think I will get my bath next week...cause she was suppose to do it on the weekend but it was TOO hot here and mom did not want to risk hot spots coming back on me!

So that is all for now.....gonna go and check my email.......

Hope you all have a great night!

Hugs
Harrison XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXXOXO

PS..Did everyone see Gizzy's new SISTER!!!!!!!!!!! She is soo pretty!!!!

Vet Visit :-)

ok...I know that is has been a bit since I wrote anything here...and I am sorry. No excuses...but mom was hogging the computer! BOL

Anyway, I went to the vet today to get my yearly shots with Lenny. Mom was really really proud of me!! I didnt cry!!!! Now...on the otherhand Lenny...Mr.Tough CRIED!!!!!!!!!!!!! Which of course set me into panic mode but it wasnt too bad! I got a big hug and kiss from my doctor too!

He said that I looked really good, my teeth were really nice and white! Lenny has a few issues with his teeth....but it is nothing bad...he just needs to chew his bones more often!

As for my hotspots...body is good...but under my eye I still have them...they dont seem to still want to go completley away. You see mom stopped giving me pills at least 2 weeks or more...and was just washing my face everyday and drying it. So it has been ok...but really itchy!!!! To the point that I was rubbling my face so much that I did cause an ulcer on my eye....and it is healing thanks to mom and doing what she has been doing....

anyway thats about it....gotta go and get ready for Hell's Kitchen!!

Talk Later

Harrison XOXOXO

BathDay Aug 6th

Well the other day I got some mail from Angel Tifanny to help me with my hotspots...so today mom decided to bath Lenny and me...starting at 7:30AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I know she is crazy) anyway I feel GREAT!!!!!!! I SMELL GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!

I wanted to let GA Tif that I thank her from the bottom of my heart for this great shampoo and conditioner!! Mom really loves the smell and so do I!!

Now it is off to bed cause that what tzu's do after there bath...they have a crazy fit and sleep for the afternoon...right?

Harrison XOXOXOXOXXOXO

Latest....Tuesday Night July 18, 2006

ok..mom thought that I should let everyone know an update on my "hotspot" problem.....even though I was only at the vet on Saturday!

Well here it goes....I am on baytril now taking it once at supper time and I think I am coming out of my depression funk that I have been in since these hotspots decided to come and visit me.......not sure if it is the pills or if I am just starting to feel better....

And the 1 spot above my eye mom says looks better, actually she said it looks like it is starting to dry out...so I am taking that as something good!

And the 4 spots under my eye.....mom said they still have a bad smell with the stuff that is coming out of them and she is still cleaning them all twice a day and then putting ointment on it so it doesnt spread into my eye....it looks like the swelling is going down and it is not as red anymore..so I think that is sort of good news! Mom is still a little concerned because of the smell and the funky stuff that is under my eye....but I told her it doesnt feel as bad..I think she caught on that I was feeling better cause I started to beat up Lenny!!! bol!!!!!!

So I would like to thank Mollie, Brandy, Tuesday, Lucy & Family, Elliott, Suzy Q, PV Domino and Tifanny! Your positive thoughts and wishes helped me!!

You guys are the greatest!!!!!! Not sure what Lenny & I would do without Dogster!

PS: I do all the writing Lenny is always too busy causing trouble around the house!

PPS: Dont forget TUESDAY is TURNING 2 YEARS OLD on July 25th!!!

Yes, It is Saturday July 15, and Yes I was at the Vet- today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So....here it is a beautiful weekend and I get to go to the vet again....yipee!

So....my hotspots are all cleared up from my body and chest and happy to report that my hair is coming back really fast!!!! Bad news still, the hotspots under and above my eye still are not getting any better...and I got sick 4 days in a row..so mom stopped giving me the medication....and I ended up getting rice and hamburger for dinner (it was pretty good!!!)

Anyway I meet a new vet lady...she was nice...but I like my regular guy..he told me that he was going on vacation and I had to come back and see someone else....mom was ok with that but I see my regular guy when I go back NEXT WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I am on another medication called baytril, she said that my eye problems could be a different type of bateria than what was on my chest and body...so the new vet lady said that this should clear everything up in a few days....it better!!!!!!!!!!! I am tired of going to the vet tired of taking pills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In all of my 8 years this is the most pills I have ever taken!!!!!

Anyway mom brought us (yes I said us cause my brother Lenny came today) home and we are just going to chill for the afternoon.

Ohh...when we were at the vet this really pretty doggy came in...he was a labordoodle (sp?) his name was Charly he was sooo pretty!!!!!!!!!!!! the funny thing is mom told Lenny that Charly is the exact same as Buffy (she lives behind us and Lenny has never seen he except through the fence) Lenny weighs12 pounds Buffy weighs 100 pounds....and so Charly came over to say Hi and Lenny ran under mom's legs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is sooooo funny...Lenny thinks he such a big dog!!!!! Sorry had to tell you that story!!

Anyway that is the latest update from Harrison Vet Trips!!!!!!!!!


Hope everyone has a safe and happy weekend!!

Hugs & Kisses

Harrison XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

PS. Please remember to go to this website http://www.goodsearch.com, this will help raise awareness for canine cancer (Tifanny told us about the website)

July 8 2006 Back to the Vet

Well...this is starting to be to regular of a thing for me....visiting the vet!!! I had to go again today to have another check up on my hotspots. So I have some good news and bad news.....the ones on my chest are looking great and my hair is already growing back...but I have 3 by my eye..really really close to my eye and they are not getting any better...so my vet is concerned about them they are infected really bad. So I am still depressed...this sucks!!!!!!!!!!! It hurts......:-(

But on a little upside mom and me went to a pet store by our house called Rens and I got to pick out a new toy for Lenny and me....and then we went to a doll place to pick up things that mom collects ( I am allowed in cause the owner is really nice and she always gives me a hug & kiss) anyway just got home was a long morning.....OH....I also saw my cousin HARRY at the vet he was getting his yearly shots and I told him not to cry like a baby!! It was good to see HARRY, but mom gave him a lot of treats I think she forgot that I was there!!!!!!!!!!!!


So anyway I am going back to bed mom just gave me my new medication

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Harrison XOXOX

Another Vet Visit!!!!!!

Well...mom had to take me back to the vet...as my hotspots are not doing to well....or maybe I am not doing too well!!! Anyway they are spreading and mom was worried about a few I have near my one eye....so I had to go back and get more medication. So now I take 2 pills a day plus I have an eye ointment and a spray that I need twice a day plus the stupid doctor said that mom needed to trim alot of my beautiful hair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mom is slowly doing it she is not too happy but vet said that it is the best to help heal my hotspots....:-(

Update on Lenny....my brother the spaz..his eye is doing alot better...so he is pretty happy until he sees mom coming with his medication!!!

We actually line up and wait for mom to come to put in our medication cause we know we are going to be getting a treat!!

Ohhhhhh wait....I need to go and take my heartworm pill for this month!!

Talk later
Harrison

Another Vet Visit

Well today is Sat June 24, and as usual we drove mom crazy.....needed to go back to the vet this morning.

You see I was getting a full body massage and mom then starting rubbing underneath my chin to my chest and she could not believe what she was feeling.....so she got closer and she said that it looked like I had been eaten alive!!!! I had about 20 or so what look liked scabbed over bug bits. I know I am sweet but this was TOO MUCH!! So mom brought me and Lenny into the vet this morning and said that they are hotspots...I had hot spots before but not this bad...so he had to shave my chest and the top part of my head cause I have more there!!!!!!!!!! Mom said not too worry cause she can fix my top knot and she said that I can wear a tshirt if we go anywhere!

So I am taking medication twice a day for about 2 weeks and then I go back to the vet for a check up...and I also got my nails cut...and good news!!!! Lennys nail is starting to grow back!!!!!!!!!!!! So no more playing "hurt paw" for Lenny!!! ahahahhaha

Anyway gotta go....having barbecue tonight!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Birthday Wishes

I just wanted to Thank everyone that sent my brother and me birthday wishes! Suzy Q & Dominio, Lucy and the Gang & Tiffany. You guys are the BESTEST FRIENDS ever! I wish that I could have had you all over for cake!

Mom ended up giving us 2 pieces of cake that day and I kinda snuck some of Lennys cake too but dont tell on me ok? You see I had a banana cake and since Lenny does not like banana he had apple...and you see apple is my second favourite!! I think everyone would understand that? It had peanut butter icing and doggy bones all around it.

Also wanted to let you guys know that mom has kinda changed our dog food to wellness duck version...and fromm's duck gravy...you know this is the best stuff we have ever tasted!!! You see I have a sensitive tummy...even though I think I can eat anything!! So mom tried us out on this stuff and you know we have never gotten an upset tummy and as mom said the other end is working great also? Not sure but I think she is talking about my poop! She talks about it alot..I think she has an obsession with it or something like that! She also says that our room is smelling better, now I am thinking because she sprayed something but she said it is because my brother and me dont have gas anymore!!! I think mom is crazy!

Anyway also wanted you all to know that Lenny's paw is doing much better....you see he almost drove mom over the edge that day....he ended up going to the emerg 6:30 am one morning because he ripped out his nail in the carpet....and he came home all wrapped up..I think mom posted the pictures...so it has healed quite well...he finished all his medication...but you know he still is playing the hurt one! PLUZEEEEEEEEEE.......if he can run like there is no tomorrow in the backyard and then play it up when he comes in...let me tell you Lenny has it made!!

I guess this is enough talking on my end....

Take Care

Tuesday Night....:-)

Well here we are again...it is Tuesday night..mom is BACK!!!!!!!!!!! I am soooo happy!! She left work early and took me and my brother for a walk today. It was great!!!!!!! It is sooo windy here today I thought that we were going to fly away!!!

Mom bathed us on th weekend she said that we were smelly shih tzu's and that shih tzu's should not smell this bad. I personally do not think I was that bad...I still got my hugs and kisses :-/??

Other than that..things are ok...just chilling...I really think that "Tuesday" my friend looks really cute in her new doggles!!

I think that Lenny and me are blessed to have so many nice friends here at Dogster!!

Well I should go and see where my brother is...

Sunday Feb 26 2006

Well lets see today started off ok..until Lenny and I went for a walk and it was -24C!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let me tell you I was COLD!!! I never walked so fast in my life this morning!!

And then this afternoon, mom decided to "clean" me up...means she trimmed my belly hair, my paws, and cleaned my face. She said I was looking messy....Man I thought I was looking pretty good!!

After mom finshed I ran up the stairs and she was running after me spraying me.....I have no idea what she was trying to do...all I could think was RUN FASTER before she gets you!!!

BUT....she caught up and still sprayed me...she said it would make me smell better until she can bath me....

Anyway I should be off to bed soon....to get ready for Monday Morning!!!!

Night Everyone!

Feb 25, 2006

Well, this is my first entry and I am not sure what to tell you except that my mom added more pictures of me...and I think that people may make fun of my picture...of me smiling....I was in a really good mood that day...and I just felt like smiling...and I think I look cute :-)

I went for a walk today with my brother Lenny and we saw Buffy (Lenny thinks that she is his girlfriend, and Buffy is a labordoodle...so she is about 10 times the size of him...but she is really pretty)

Not many people out here today too cold..about -15C and very windy..almost blows me off my feet....

ohhh....and my mom went out to the store last night and bought me and lenny a few new toys....just because she loves us!

Anyway I am going to go and lay down now and relax..watch some tv...

Talk Soon

Harrison

PS. Tif hope you are going good today! Remember you are always in our thoughts and prayers XOXO
