It Took Forever!!

Today, my mommy and her roommate took some of us dogs for a walk on the Marshal Swamp Trail. It was all nice and grand at first but it took forever. Don't get me wrong, I love to go for walks. We had never been on this trail so we didn't know how long it would take or where it led too. We just walked forever through the woods. We would stop ever so often and get some water. We wound up walking 6 miles. We didn't know the trail was 3 miles long and then we had to go back to the beginning to get back to the car. I was so tired. I just wanted to lay down but mom kept telling me that we had to keep going. I thought it would never end. Maybe next time I won't ask to go on the walk too.

6 Miles!!

Yesterday my mommy and her roommate wanted to go for a walk. They like to take me and Annie for a walk on the greenway since we do not like the dog park (to much humping and puppy excitement for me). So we started going on our walk. This time though they took Pippen and Ruby with us. We were just walking along. I love to go for walks. We kept seeing people on bikes and roller blades. Apparently when the weather gets warmer more people start venturing outside. Who would have thought. I prefer to be inside when it gets warmer outside. I was just walking along sniffing the air. We went a moderate pace so that Annie could keep up. Us old girls have to look out for one another. Before I knew it we were at the end of the trail. That is like 3 miles from where we started. Then we turned around and started back. This really nice older lady stopped to pet me. I was more worried about walking so I did a run by petting. Mom made me stop every now and then so that the other dogs could catch up. So I would sit down and take a little breather. I love to go on my walks. We finally got back to the car. I was pooped. I had walked 6 miles. It only took us 2 hours to do it. I guess that is good time. I can't wait to go back.

I Got Shaved!

So, I came back from the vet. I had to have my leg shaved so that they could find the wounds. They look kind of gross but they did not need stitches. I have to be on antibiotics for 2 weeks now. The only good thing about that is that I get canned food for 2 weeks. I am getting up the stairs better. The doctor said that it hurts because I tensed up when he went to bite me so it ripped deeper. I am ok though. I just can't lay on it for now. That's ok, I can lay on my other side. Well, I screamed when they shaved me. I really don't like those clippers. But I survived. I'm just in a little pain. Nothing a little canned food can't help.

Ouch That Hurts!

Yesterday while mom was in the shower some of us dogs got into a scuffle. It was most likely over food. Mom heard us growling and me yelping so she came running out of the shower all soaking wet with no clothes on. It is a good thing she was the only one home. Well, I am the only one with wounds. I have a nice sized bite mark in my right rear leg. It hurts really bad. I can't lay on it and I can't get up the stairs. Mom had to carry me last night when I was done going potty, back inside. I was still soar this morning so my mommies roommate took me to work with her(she works at petsmart with a banfield in it). It was her dog that hurt me so she took me to the vet to make sure everything was in fine working order. I haven't gotten back from the vet yet so mom is sitting here worried at what happen. I told her that I will be just fine but she is still nervous. Yes, I am an old lady now and don't bounce back as fast when I get a doggy boo-boo, but I am still rough and tubble. I will keep you posted when I get back from the vet.

My Beach Day

I went to the beach a little while ago for the first time in my adult doggie life. I really was not fond of it. I am not a water dog even though my mommy would like me to be. I love laying on the sand and stealing crackers. Mommy drug me into the water and made me swim. She said it was good exercise for me. I did not agree. Do not get me wrong. I like water, as long as it is on my own terms. I hate baths and this reminded me of a bath. I did like rolling in the sand after I got out of the water though. It was an eventful day. I guess it was not all that bad. I did meet some new doggies.
