and you know what that means! STRESSED spelled backwards is DESSERTS! A few days ago she made apricot raisin cake and now she's jonesing for some banana bread. We like this trend. Cake is the best smelling stuff in the whole world! And if a crumb drops to the floor, all the better!
All joking aside, Mommy has decided to limit her facebook time considerably, cause it is so much fun she is on it WAY too much. And that won't get a thesis written! So, the best way to keep up with Mommy Sarah and us pupses is through this page right here! This dogster-fing is much less stressful than that book of faces-thing, so feel free to drop us a line or keep up with our diary right here! After all, we couldn't go off the grid entirely - Mommy would get the shakes or sumfing!
We love you!
Rudy, Izzy, Angel Ben and Mommy Sarah
Mommy is getting mad cause Izzy is a jealous, jealous dog. She tackled Rudy when she got out of the tub, and was growling very loudly at her. She does this a lot lately. She is jealous whenever either Mommy or Mama give Rudy necessary attention for her skin condition. What do we do? It's getting ridiculous. Izzy sounds like a big massive rottweiler, the sounds she makes, and Rudy just lets her pounce on her.
(Mommy speaking) It looks like playing, but it seems pretty rough sometimes. I usually never hear a yelp, but today I did, and then Izzy backed off. I have tried grabbing Izzy by the neck and saying "no" firmly, but as soon as I let go, she goes right for Rudy again. If I separate them in different rooms, as soon as I let them out, Izzy bolts for Rudy again to pounce/attack. It freaks me out cause it seems like it is getting more frequent. We are both giving Izzy lots of cuddles and loves too, she is definitely not "left out" but she seems to think she is. I can't let Izzy in the tub with Rudy because it's special dermatological vet shampoo, and Izzy doesn't need to be bathed twice a week anyway. When they play, as soon as Mama gives Rudy some attention, Izzy stops what she is doing and pounces on Rudy, growling loudly and biting at her neck. It's like she HATES it when we give Rudy any attention. Now if one of us wants to play with Rudy, the other Mom has to hold Izzy and distract her! This is not a good solution. What do we do? Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated!
We all said goodbye to Mommy's family dog (he lived with Nanny and Poppy), Sonny last night. He is going to Rainbow Bridge later today. We are quite sad, Sonny was such a beautiful, kind old man, and we are going to miss him dearly. At least he will meet Angel Ben at the Rainbow Bridge. It is such a hard decision to have to make, even though he was sick and old. We love you Sonny, with all our hearts, and we don't want to see you in pain anymore. Fly free, sweet boy.
