Birthday: October 16th 2006 Likes: Chasing squirrels or cats in the backyard, chillin' on the sofa Pet-Peeves: Bugs, riding in the car, and water Favorite Toy: Squeaky tennis ball, but only to get Mady to play with him Favorite Food: Peanut butter, rawhide chewies, cheese Favorite Walk: Just around the neighborhood Best Tricks: Spinning in a circle, lying on his back for a belly rub Arrival Story: I found Remi at Petfinders.com and fell in love with his sweet little face. I called the shelter and asked about him and picked him up two days later. He's an angel. We think he is a jack russell mix, maybe with a spaniel or beagle. Bio: Remi is our guard dog who patrols the backyard, looking for any activity that may require him to bark. He is searching the trees for pesky birds or squirrels and the surrounding yards for evil kitty cats. If he sees any of these animals intruding on his backyard, he barks hysterically until they are defeated and go away. Forums Motto:
Mady went to the vet yesterday and mommy saw an ad for a doggy motion sickness medicine!! It's called Cerenia. If I get this, it might change my life! I am very car sick when riding anywhere. I've even been sick backing down the driveway before! My predicament has left me home on some occassions when I would like to go off with Mommy somewhere. I'm a social boy really. I like to visit people, once I get there. But riding in the car makes my tummy hurt and I start to drool. It's not fun. Sometimes getting on the floor helps, but sometimes it doesn't.
I need my nails trimmed. Maybe I can go to the vet for a nail trim and just talk about this motion sickness med while I'm there. I wish I could like to ride!!
My paw was hurting last night during our walk. I'm not sure if Mady stepped on it or if I twisted it. I was holding my paw up and wouldn't walk anymore. I laid down in someone's yard and held my paw up for Mommy to inspect it. She didn't see a cut or anything like that, but she was worried. Daddy came to get me in the car since I wouldn't walk home.
I hobbled around on it all night when I wasn't lying on Mommy's lap and softly whining. She kept insisting that I needed to go to emergency vet but Daddy thought I was just exaggerating. If it was broken, wouldn't it be worse. Maybe I sprained it.
The humans went back and forth discussing it for a few hours and finally decided that I could sleep with them in the bed. That did the trick!! Automagically, this morning my limp was gone. No vet visit for me. Thank goodness!! I don't mind it, but really if they would make me take meds or wrap my leg up in bandages, I would be very upset.
Maybe I was just faking it to get a little Mommy loving ; - )
Will it ever stop raining? We had rain most of Memorial Day weekend and all week too. Remi no likey rain!! I have this special coat you see that doesn't repel water like Mady's does. I don't dry very quickly. And it makes me cold. I hate being cold and wet. It is really muggy and sticky outside here when it rains and then I have to go inside into the cold air conditioning. I get shivers just thinking about it.
The weather man says maybe it will be nice this weekend. I hope so. I didn't sign up to live in the rain forest.
If someone out there is living with tons of sunshine, please invite me to stay! I don't travel well but I make a great house guest ;- )
