I've been tagged!

I was tagged by Shiloh! Thanks Shiloh! This was lots of fun!


Here are the rules:

Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Dogs who are tagged, need to post in their Diary the rules & their 7 pawsome facts. Then choose 7 dogs to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to bark them a pmail that they have been tagged and to read your Diary, or, send them a fun Rosette announcing they've been Tagged!


Here are 7 fun facts about me:

1. I sometimes drool in my sleep. Mom doesn't mind, she says I make cute puddles.

2. I love cats. I like to play and snuggle with them.

3. I like to eat on the couch. Mom puts my bowl of kibble on the couch, so I can lay down, watch TV, and eat my dinner.

4. I hate rain and all kinds of running water.

5. When I was a pup, my whole face was brown and black. In the last few months, however, I've developed lots of white around my snout!

6. I hate having my nails clipped!

7. I'm a little spoiled. I admit it. Mom loves to baby me.

New Food & Bath Time

Mom has been frantic over all of the pet food recalls! Ginger and I had been eating Natural Balance for over a year. But, after they issued their second recall last week, mom just couldn't trust them anymore. We're now eating Innova EVO! The only store that sells it is quite a while away, but its worth it. They manufacture their kibbles in their own plant and it is completely grain-free! We really like it too!

In other news, Ginger and I had a bath today. I normally hate baths, but I did very well! It was warm outside, so it was actually a little fun!

Cool Dog Site of the Day!

My website has been chosen as the cool dog site of the day at dogmark.net!

Good News!

I went back to the vet for my follow up appointment on Tuesday. The vet did more extensive blood work and I got the results yesterday!

Everything is back to normal! Yay!

As a precaution, I have to stay on my medicine and prescription kibble until next Tuesday. Then, as long as the symptoms don't come back, I get to stop the meds and go back to my normal food!

Feelin' Good

Our weather was so lovely yesterday! Mom, Ginger, and I spent most of the day outside enjoying the sun! Mom played and ran with us a bit. Then, she settled down in a chair while we played some more.

Mom laughed at me because when I got tired, I jumped in her lap and curled up in the chair with her!

It's like she expects me to lay on the ground! Pffft! Not when there is a comfy mommy lap available!



PS: I want to thank everypup that has sent me well wishes! I'm so feeling much better now!

Only $45!

According to a National Pet Owners survey, dog owners spend about $45.00 per year on dog toys


Really? I know that my mom pampers me, but that seems really low! I get (at least) one new toy a week! Those are usually $1 each, so those alone cost $52 a year!

Then, Kong toys are normally around $10 each. I have to get at least one of those a year! I love my Kongs! Plus, I need new, sturdy tug and plush toys every few months!

Plus, I get lots of toys on my birthday and on Christmas! Heck, mom spents more than $45 on each of those occasions alone!

Blood Work Results

I have pancreatitis! :-O The vet said that my pancreatic enzymes are the highest levels he's ever seen! I'm not showing any other symptoms, though, so the vet told mum to watch me closely until Tuesday!

Then, he's going to do more extensive tests! :(

Tummy Ache!

I had to go to the veterinarian today! I had some blood in my poop, so mom panicked!

The doctor gave me a shot and took some blood. I'll get the results of the blood work in the morning, so keep your paws crossed for me!

Until then, I'm not allowed to eat anything! The horror! Then, I start on a bland diet and medicine in the morning!

The Happy Dog's Bedtime Prayer

This is my mom's favorite doggie poem. She says it reminds her of me!


The Happy Dog's Bedtime Prayer
Author Unknown

Now I lay me down to sleep,
The queen-size bed is soft and deep.
I sleep right in the center groove,
My human being can hardly move.

I've trapped her legs,
she's tucked in tight,
and here is where I pass the night.
No one disturbs me or dares intrude,
Til morning comes and I want food.

I sneak up slowly and it begins,
My nibbles on my human's chin.
she wakes up slowly and smiles and shouts,
"You darling beast! Just cut it out!"
But morning's here and its time to play,
I always seem to get my way.

So thank you Lord, for giving me,
this human person that I see
The one who holds me tight
and shares her bed with me at night!

Yum! Cake!

My grandpa gave my grandma a little cake for Valentine's Day. It looks so tasty! I tried to steal it, but they won't let me have it!

Mom did make me a special Valentine's treat though! Yum! Yum!
