Birdie? Birdie ?! BIRDIE!!!

It's been soooo hot lately... last Sunday mama and dada went to the O's and Red Sox game... well, when they came back dada went to the basement and fell asleep. Mama took us out for our walks. Well, our neighbors were trimming the tree on the front lawn and disrupted a baby birdie nest. When mama opened the door a disoriented birdie flew into the house. Mama shrilled so loud... Me and my sisters went exploring to find what flew in... We were so excited our eyes almost popped out of our head!

Well, the birdie flew into the kitchen and was fluttering about the sunroom window. I had it in the corner! I was trying to protect the bird from my sisters b/c they were so curious. Chloe always tries to catch them in the yard but she's too slow. I placed myself between the birdie and my sisters. I wouldn't let mama get near the birdie. Anyhow, mama put on a pair of oven mits and got the bird into a stock pot and threw a lid on it. Mama took the baby birdie outside. It flew away... I hope the baby birdie made it ... Mama left extra bird seed in the feeders just in case.

Snow Boots~

We got a snow storm this weekend and lots of snow. Since I have so much trouble walking on salt and ice (my paws hurt), Mom puts snow booties on my paws. When they are on my feet I walk really funny~ like a cat with scotch tape on my paw. I look very clumsy but I feel better when they are on my feet and I run through the snow faster than my other sisters. Mommy wishes she can put a video clip of me with my booties onto dogster b/c it's really funny.

Dog Days

After having a somewhat relaxing week, I'm feeling so much better! There are alot of boxes around the house b/c we will be moving into a bigger house! yeah! One and 1/2 weeks to go until we move into a big house. Mom always leaves me in charge b/c I'm the most mature and the best behaved. I know right from wrong...

My Aching Back!

On Friday, the day after "Turkey" day... Mommy woke up in the morning and found me shaking and curled up under the bed. Usually, I'm in bed with Mommy and my sisters snuggled and piled on mom, but I wasn't feeling too well.

Mommy called me over and I used all of my strength to crawl inch by inch towards mommy. I was in so much pain. I can't speak to her but I could show her how much I was hurting. Mommy cried a little and called the vet's office and made an emergency appointment.

Mom was worried that I got into some extra Thanksgiving treats that I wasn't supposed to have. (possible instestinal blockage?) But I wasn't showing signs of that. No vomiting or poo issues. Anyhow, mom was relieved when the Dr. told her that it was probably a pinched nerve or possibly a slip disc. Well, the doc gave me some super pills and I felt good as new within the hour.

The doctor said that I would be zipping around like I wasn't hurt. (the pills made all the pain go away)... Mommy put me in the crate to restrain me from jumping around and wrestling with my sisters. I would not know that my body needed to heal. I'm feeling so much better now, but I think I have to get x-rays.

I guess I don't realize how much older I'm getting b/c I'm still full of so much energy. Mom says if I were younger, she would teach me to be an agility dog! Also, mom thinks that my arthritus may be coming back. I tested positive for lymes disease a few years back when she first brought me home. Mommy only wants me to be happy and healthy! She wants me to live forever! I love her and I know she loves me more than anything.

As my good girl treat, I got chicken. Yum. and greenies... Yum.

Day of Beauty

On Saturday, boy did I have a day. Mommy made me get a bath and I was not happy. I sat in the tub staring at the door. I closed my eyes the entire time and thought of jumping out of the tub and out of the bathroom. I dislike baths. My previous owners didn't give me regular baths and mommy says I was a mess when I first came home. My mommy makes sure that I am clean and well groomed. I'm very good when I get groomed. Mommy wishes Mimi was that way. After Mommy gave me a new poodle-doo... (lamb cut, clean poodle feet, and a teddy bear face...) She gave me "Oodles" of doggie treats and a hotdog! I love hotdogs...

-I'm oh so gorgeous~
