Sabrina's Life

A wonderful surprise came in the mail

On Thursday, December 1, 2011 I was anxiously waiting for the mail to come as we have entered three Christmas Cards Exchange list Yorkieville United for my sister Abigale June, Cairn Talk and Schnauzer Rule for me. Three cards came in the mail for us and none for mommy and daddy we now have 5 cards to 0. But what was the surprise one of those cards came in a box so mommy opened the box up and put it down for us to smell. I went absolutely crazy because there was a stuffed acorn with a smiley face and on the card our friend Winston and his family told me to stay away from the real acorns and they were sending me this surprise a safe acorn I could play with.

They remember the story of me and my acorn. I have a bad habit of swallowing acorns and a few years back I had to have surgery to remove an acorn from my lower intestine which my dad painted and put it in a small jar and wrote on the jar Sabrina's Golden Acorn as it was an expensive surgery.

You would think I would learn my lesson but now mommy has to put a muzzle on me whenever I go outside as I still swallow the acorns and they had to give me mineral oil for me to poop out the acorn so mommy was worried one day the mineral oil would not work so they got the basket muzzle and though I fight with her to put it on every time I go outside she holds my head to look at her and tells me she is doing it because she loves me and wants to keep me around since I still go after acorns.

Thank you so very much Winston and Family you made my day very special and Abigale June got her little frog. Mommy lets us sniff at all the cards before she puts them up and we saw your pictures on the card. We love you guys.

Thanks for everyone comments about me eating acorns

Hey everyone daddy does go out in the yard everyday picking up the acorns he can see but the problem is Abigale June and I dig up what the squirrels bury. Also, there are no trees in our yard when we moved here in 2002 mommy had daddy cut down all the trees in our yard. The squirrels get them out of the neighbors trees and bring them to our yard to bury and I simply feel if they are stupid enough to bury them in my yard I will dig them up and have them for myself.

Now I have to deal with wearing a muzzle everytime I go outside mommy said she does not trust me.

Fall is here and mineral oil to the rescue

Well here it is October and fall is here no trees in our yard and squirrels busy burying acorns while I am busy digging up the acorns and swallowing whole. Mommy thought I would have learned my lesson but no. Daddy said no more surgery if mineral oil doesn't do the trick. I was given mineral oil to help me poop and had to sleep on the back porch last night so if I went to the bathroom they could tell if the acorn came out. Today I finally pooped an acorn the size of daddy's fingernail. Mommy said from now on the muzzle goes on my face she would rather inconvenience me than have a dead dog. I don't look forward to the muzzle but at least daddy won't put it on me said he does not have the time to fool with the muzzle. Woe is me having to wear a muzzle. Daddy also warned mommy that to watch out for us in the morning at there are small kittens coming in our yard mommy said with the muzzle on I won't be able to hurt the kittens.
