I don't know if you pupses know Mommy on that facebook thing, but if you do, you probably know that she complains about weather a LOT. Don't get me wrong, she has a good reason for it. See, we live in Newfoundland, which is the windiest city in Canada, and also the foggiest. And one of the rainiest. In fact it rained 28 of 31 days in July. We did not have a good summer at all. In fact, peoples around here are saying that our summer didn't even start until August! Well, at least now it's here. I posted some camping pictures on my page to show you that we have had some nice weather. September is turning out to be quite nice too. Mommy is so glad for that, because the wild blueberries did not come out until recently, and she was afraid there wouldn't be any to pick, due to not having enough sunshine! Well,they are behind schedule, but they are there, and Mommy is going to go pick some today and tomorrow! Today it is 23 C, which is a perfectly lovely day in Newfoundland. If any pup ever wants to visit us, mid to late-August and September are the nicest time to come!
Well, I barked in Schnauzers Rule, the bestest dogster group ever, that I hurt my leg and had to go to the vet. That was on Monday. I woke up and couldn't walk very good, couldn't even put my weight on my back leg. Mommy and Mama were very concerned. They took me to the vet, and by then I was able to walk on my leg, but I couldn't jump, and when I went down the stairs I would only use three legs. Something was definitely up. Well, the vet looked me over really good, and rotated my leg, and felt it all over, and said she knew there was nothing wrong with the bones, but that I had probably hurt my leg jumping off the bed funny or something. It could be sprained. I was a really good girl at the vet, and didn't whimper at all when she was touching my leg, so the Dr didn't know exactly where it was sore. My paw looked just fine. So we are going under the assumption that I sprained/strained my muscle, and she gave me some anti-inflammatories for a week. Well, it's only been four days and I am feeling a LOT better already. I am walking almost perfectly, and even though Mom kept me really still at first, now it seems I am doing great, so she is giving me a bit more freedom! Whoo-hoo!
Thank you sweet friends for all the POP and rosettes. It's so nice to have fur-iends like you!!!
love Izzy
I have always prided myself on my very nice white beard. But in the past two weeks it has been turning brown around my mouth! This has never happened before! Mommy can't think of anything that would have made it do that. I have not changed diet, and I am drinking filtered water. Mommy had this problem with Rudy a few years ago, but she doesn't remember what she did to get it to go back to being white. Any suggestions? Fizzy's mom said clean it with baking soda and water. Mom remembers changing something with Rudy's diet, but she can't remember the particulars. She vaguely remembers something having to do with yeast. Maybe it is turning because it has been so hot lately? But Rudy's is fine, so that might not be it. What do we do? I love my white beard and I want it back!
