Hunting Camp!

Visit to the VET.

Friday my family went for a drive. It was one of those long fun ones with the window down just enough so that Bear can put his head out the window. We finally got to our destination and Bear loved all the new smells! He peed on all the bushes and trees he was in heaven. He reconized this place sorta. he excitely went in the door and sniffed around thinking what a great place so many smells! Robert (or daddy) made him get on the scale no problem! He say very nicely. He has gained a pound and we just knew the vet was going to lecture us. Finaly it was our turn to go into the exam room. We went in and Bear was smelling everything very happy. Then he heard a noise coming from the other side of door! Who could that be? He was on high alert ears up ready to leap. Guess who came in? THE VET! Bear looked smelled him then proceded to turnaround and try to leave! He was like "I am out of here!" The vet hurriedly closed the door and Bear say like "Great I am stuck." Dr. Lang asked my 50plus husband to please put Bear on the table. He struggled a bit but got Bear up there. Bear is not real happy he knows table+vet=shoots. He sat on the table with a forlorn expression on his face. The vet who we love asked us how Bear was and started looking around on him. I pointed out a few things I have seen that I wanted him to look at such as a lump on his leg and a little rash in his nether regions. Dr. Lang explained that the lump is a lipoma and is not dangerous becuase labs get those all the time. The little rash was probably plant related especially because of the location and just watch it. His ears were clean his teeth were fabulous and his tummy excellent! His fur is nice and healthy. So Bear passes the exam with flying colors. Now the shots! First the dewormer! Bear hates the taste of this and squirms so we have to hold him while Dr. Lang puts it in his mouth. Then he does that bleah face for like five minutes while the vet gives him the rabies shot and the Leptospirosis shot. By this time Bear is not having any fun and gives us this dirty look like "Why did you have to do this to me?" Then it is over! Bear gets to get off the table and happily trys to get out the door. However we still have to pay so we go to the counter. I get a bill pay it and receive his new rabies tag and papers declaring him heathly! This all was done in about 10 minutes. I am sure that the vet wishes all his paitents were as good as Bear! We left the vets office and let Bear play a little then went home. Also the vet didn't say anything about Bears weight like we thought! I guess as dogs age it is exspected that they gain a little weight! We are glad that is done for another year!

Valentine's Day

Mommy and daddy decided to rent movies and have a nice evening in. I thought great I will have both of them home. I forgot that if both of them sit on the couch in front of the tv I can't fit! How could they do that to me? It is my couch too. They squeezed over and there was a space of a foot by two feet I mean really how did they expect me to fit in that small a space? (even though when i am curled in a ball i am smaller than that) I wanted to be next to mommy and there wasn't any room. They just don't love me. So I went to the other couch and pouted. Then I got an idea play with them. They can't say no to me when I look cute and want to play! Well they told me NO! Can you believe it they would rather sit next to each other and watch the dumb movie instead of playing with me! I am so glad that Valentines days is only once a year, a puppy could get a complex if that was everyday. A note from mommy: For the record Bear was being very demanding he knew it was Valentines and that we wanted to watch a movie and have a nice dinner as a couple. He eventually gave up and slept throught the rest of the movie. He is fine and even got people food. We love Bear even when he is a pain.

birds and snow

It snowed last night, I don't like the snow. It is cold and wet on my paws. I guess it is offically winter but I don't like it! Mommy put up the christmas tree this weekend and all the christmas decorations. I guess I am just going to have to stay on my couch with my blanky. Wait I hear birds! I need to go out those darn birds are in my yard! I went outside and they are everywhere, why do they go in my yard? I run outside and bark they scatter everywhere, that will teach them to come into my yard! I guess I have to stay outside even though it is snowy because dang it those birds aren't allowed in my yard! I stay outside for about 10 minutes then decide it is to cold and I did my business (went potty) so I come in back to my blanket and couch or perhaps sit in front of the stove! I guess winter is not so bad but I still hate snow and birds.
