Pollen count is down!

Yeah! Today is the first day of fall and the pollen count has dropped into the low range. I am still itchy but not as bad as I was in late August. I took prednisone for a 2-3 period and it helped. This was the worst year for my allergies so mom is hoping this pollen season will be over soon. At least I can relax knowing the pollen count is lowering and should hopefully be over soon.

My encounter with the beyond

After some therapy and many hours of deep meditation, I can finally talk about my near abduction from aliens. It all happened about a week ago when we were out having a good time just taking a casual walk. From the corner of my eye I saw an approaching object but I was too slow to react, within a second the flying green object had set it's sight on me. I'm not always the bravest of pups so they probably figured I'd be the easiest to apprehend. It happened so quickly that I can't remember all the details but the next thing I know is the green object attacked me and latched onto my face. I was sure it was trying to suck out my brain but I couldn't move. Was I paralyzed by fear or did it inject something in me that prevented me from moving? I could hear myself scream but no words came out. Mom was horror stricken at the fear in my eyes and bravely went after the creature from outer space and told it to never come back. She just looked at me, smiled, and said "It's OK honey, it was just a grasshopper." Too bad I'm the only one who knows the real truth. I'm sure to be in therapy a long time for this one!

Itchy Itchy!!

Mom couldn't control my itchies so I had to go to the vet today for my allergies. They started me on Prednisone and said it should help immediately. Originally my appointment was for tomorrow morning but they had a cancellation and were able to squeeze me in. I was in the middle of a medicated bath when they called but mom took me in wet and all just to make sure I could be seen right away....BOL!

So now, I'm resting and a little tired but I should hopefully feel better very soon. They also gave me a rabies booster and took blood for my dental next month. They found a cracked tooth that I'll need to have it removed. One thing at a time though, I have a few weeks before the dental.

It's my 3rd Gotcha Day!

Three years ago today I came to my furever home! I was supposed to just be fostered for a few days so I could relax (I was super scared at the shelter) but mom couldn't let me go back there and decided to adopt me herself. I started school after I was adopted and learned so much. Today I'm so much less shy and I even received my CGC last year!! Yeah!! I feel blessed and I just wish there were less pups in need of new homes. I certainly pray each day that they too can find a place to call their furever home, a place they can be safe and loved.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there! Today I took my mommy to the Home Depot to buy her some flowers. It was mommy and me time and I was the only one who went with her. You can see my new pics taken while we were shopping. I had a great time!

I got a puppia

I got a brand new red Puppia soft harness today and I love it! My sister got one from her beau a little while ago and I was a bit jealous so mom bought one for me, Dragon, and Yuki. We all have Puppias now. Dragon got a blue one and Yuki got a gray one. Chester uses a gentle leader so he didn't get one. What lucky pups we are. Also, Dragon was microchipped today and I was thinking, whew I'm glad that wasn't me...BOL! Actually I lived that nightmare just after I was adopted so I did sympathize with him. We're fine though and mom feels better knowing we have a permanent form of ID.

My new pal

My new brother Dragon is so much fun! We are really hitting it off well and I can't believe how fast he is! He's been with us a few weeks now and is fitting in better every day!

What a vacation!

Hi pals,

It was spring break so we went to visit our grandma in Indiana. She has two dogs named Sneaker and Sunny and it has been a few years since we saw them last. Sneaker is a party boy and I had fun playing with him. Sunny OTOH was much crabbier than the last time we saw him. He was not happy to have us there but for the most part we all got along well enough. It was a long drive, just over 8 hours to get there and we were all tired when we arrived. Thursday night it started to snow. It was a thunder snowstorm!!! You could hear the thunder and see an occasional lightning strike in the sky. Talk about weird! Then while were visiting, a new dog named Dragon arrived at grandma's house. I liked him and played with him. I didn't know it at the time, but he was to become my new brother! On Friday I got all excited to take another car ride with Mia and mom and dad, but I was unaware of where we were heading. They stopped at Just 4 Dogs grooming and walked me in with Mia and then they LEFT ME there! Not only that but Mia left with them and I swear I saw her grin and wiggle her butt as she pranced out the door. Usually mom grooms me but she really likes Misty and when we travel to Indiana she wants to have my hair cut professionally. So now I'm bald when she picks me up, once again Mia is grinning. We went straight to the ANIMAL CONTROL CENTER after that! What is she trying to do to me! Well, actually I knew we were going just to visit and say hi to all the staff. I got to show off my new do and everyone was so happy to see both me and Mia. We were the talk of the town. Finally after that hectic afternoon, we went back to grandma's house. We would spend another day and then on Saturday we all got back in the Subaru and headed home but with one small change. As I mentioned before, Dragon came home with us!! It has only been a few days but I think I'm going to really like him. We play on and off throughout the day. Well, that is my exciting vacation.

Homemade cookies!

I am allowed treats again! I had a couple weeks of treat fasting due to some tummy troubles, but I've been fine and can have treats again. Mom made some homemade beef biscuits tonight and I can't wait to try them. Technically she made them because tomorrow Mia celebrates her 3rd Gotcha Day with the family, but I can say they are for ending my treat fast, too!

Anyway diary, I'm feeling better and I'll be getting some yummy biscuits soon!

Rice and ground turkey

Not that I'm complaining or anything but all I'm getting for dinner is rice w/ground turkey. I woke with tummy troubles today. I lost my entire breakfast :(

I'm already feeling a little better so maybe it is something that just needed to run it's course. This morning was not fun at all, that is all I have to say. Anyway diary, I guess I just wanted to complain. I'm getting bland food for a couple days now to make sure I don't throw up anymore. I might even have to miss playgroups tomorrow :(
