Arrival Story:
My husband and I were thinking about getting a dog, and his mom heard from school about some people giving away "high-class mutts", as we call them. We planned on going to look at them to pick one out to take at the end of April when we moved to our new house, but after seeing her (and the owners saying they couldn't guarantee she wouldn't get squashed by a cow!) we had to take her. She was the most well-behaved puppy we have ever seen and was potty-trained in two weeks! She is a very smart dog (maybe too smart for our own good!) with TONS of energy.

Bio:
Shula is almost the perfect dog (other than not answering to recalls!) She is so smart and so loving. She is wonderful with our toddler and is Ma's walking buddy. She loves running around at the shack - as long as she doesn't have to go in the lake - and going anywhere Dad goes. She still chases the kittehs now and then. "Guard Dog" is her official job title of the house, especially when Dad isn't home. She is loyal, intelligent, loving, cuddly, and just fun!

Looking for advice!

So, tonight I started having these weird convulsions/twitches. I would be walking, then all of a sudden my head would bob and I would get twitchy, then walk really fast. It happened on and off for about 15 minutes, and seems to have stopped now.

It was like I was prancing or couldn't sit still. Ma and Dad did some research and it seems like maybe I had sensory overload. Ma had put on some lemon lotion and after that I started.

Have any of you experienced that at all?

 

Oh, the usual!

Oh, it's been so looooong! Ma has been so busy with the boys that sometimes she can't help me type. Nothing too much new going on around our house. We've been getting ready for Christmas - my stocking is on display, waiting for Santa to fill it with treats! Ma and I aren't out and about as much as we used to be, but she's trying. I do miss our walk times, but I know it's hard for her with the boys. And she does take me whenever she can!

Ma is bringing me and the boys to Grandma's house this weekend to bake cookies! That should be fun. I bet I'll get a sample or two, too. A couple are bound to break! BOL!

 

Storm Shelter!

We had a really big storm on Monday night - LOTS of thunder, some lightening, high winds, and it rained for hours! (dad says the sod is happy.) Our power went out at some point, too.

Ma kept waking up during the night, and one of the times she realized the power had gone out so she was resetting clocks. She did her walk around the house and noticed I was nowhere to be found. Then she checked my new favorite hidey-hole when there's storms - the bathroom! Sure enough, I was curled up on the bath mat in front of the tub. The problem was, she needed to use the facilities and I was in the way.

Well, she weaseled in there, but she does always say that a man designed our bathroom because the TP roll is on the wall ACROSS from the toilet. It isn't short-women friendly! She managed, but she said between her giant belly and the Border Collie obstacle, it was the hardest she's worked for toilet paper. BOL!
