My Diary

I've been tagged

I was tagged by DOZER!! Oh this is soooo fun I am going to like this... Let's see....RULES OF THE GAME:

Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Dogs who are tagged, need to post in their diary the rules and their 7 pawsome facts. Then choose some dogs to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to bark them a pmail that they have been tagged and to read your diary, or, send them a fun Rosette announcing they've been Tagged!

1.) My full name is Sigmund Rowe after Capt Sig and Mike Rowe from the tv show Deadliest Catch (my mom has a crush on both of them)

2.) I have a foster sister named Dakota, she is just hanging out with us for awhile, I like to rough house with her. It seems to drive my mom bonkers

3.) I was diagnosed with caterpillar toxicocciss. I am really allergic to those black and tan fuzzy things.

4.) We have goats and chickens and I like to herd them.

5.) I am the whiniest dog ever- my aunt Emily calls Sig-Whines-Alot

6.) I make my Dad pick me up and put me in bed with my mom every morning. I refuse to jump even though I can totally get up there myself. It's fun to whine until he does it.

7.) My sister Panzer is at the Rainbow Bridge with her brother Gunnar and Dozer's momma Cheyenne

Our little tough guy!

Well, last night Sig had his second emergency visit to they vet. He and Rocko were outside playing and we called them to the door. we have a deck withe two stairs for the little man to tackle and he was half way up when Rocko came barreling around the corner. Rocko was so excited he failed to yield to his 14.lb brother and smashed him straight into the stairs.
Poor Sig hit his noggin on the top step his front right leg on the middle and his back right leg on the bottom step. he was yelping and crying and tried standing but just collapsed and we ran out and got him. We called the vet and he was just leaving the office when he got the call so he said to bring him in.
We love our vet so much! We are very blessed to have found him, he was wonderfull and caring with panzer and it has carried over to our other pets, Alicia jokes that if he retires we will just have to stalk him if we need a vet!
Anyway, when we got to the vet. Sig was doing better and it turned out he basically stubbed his right side and was just limping a little (we felt bad for bringing him in but if you would have heard him screaming you would too!) by this morning he is just a little sore, the vet. gave us some anti-inflam. pills to give him if he needed it but he is one tough son-of-a-dog!!!

First few days and the 5th annual Strut your Mutt!!

First few days with sig here have been eventful :O). He's is def. up there on the chewing level i have seen in my previous pups so alot of my time has been correcting that. Alicia has started clicker training with him and he sits fairly well for about 7 weeks or so, it seems however that we are not the ones who got a puppy. Rocko is the one who has a puppy now!

If Sig goes romping out of the room, rocko goes and will check on him and come back in. If he goes in the other room and makes a noise rocko will go find him and lead him back. He is very patient and we think he is just happy to have someone to play with. kinda. its gonna be awhile before they can really play.

we took both of them to the 5th annual Strut your Mutt and it was great! all day of games, competitions, demonstrations, a dog parade and alot more. We took sig even though it was really hot and looked for signs of him getting over heated because we had already said we were leaving immediately if he seemed too hot or dehydrated. But he was good and sleepy too. He was the belle of the ball though thats for sure everyone wanted to steal him!

well for more of the Strut your Mutt story go read Rocko's diary because he was awake and has a story of triumph and tragedy:O)
