My day for walking

I got to help Mom today raise money for orphaned animals at the Helen woodward Animal Center here in San Diego..

I got to wear a T-shirt with skull and cross bones with a boo bandana today...it was a hot day, really too warm to be doing our walk, but Mom raised money and she said we had to walk for all of the orphaned animals that need homes...

Mia got to ride in her doggies purse on Mom's shoulder not fair, but I am too big to fit into that purse anyway and not my style...so I walked, I got to pee and pee on all of those wonderful smells us boy doggies like to pee on...Mom told me I can't pee on everything we needed to keep walking....

We walked the 1 mile this year we usually walk 2 miles cause we normally have the walk in the morning but this year they changed it to the afternoon, not good too hot for us....Mom makes sure I get water at the water stops and she drinks water too....too hot.

We get to walk on Jenny Craig's horse ranch in Rancho Santa Fe...we see all of these big horses, they love coming up to the fence to see what is going on and what we are...Mom loves walking there...but not today too hot.

We finally finish we are the first back to balloons that means we are finished....hooray we are done. Mom sits on a bail of hay so we can all drink water....too hot & we rest....

Now we have to go get our picture that was taken earlier it is in color the one on my page a nice young volunteer took for Mom and Mom didn't realize she had itwas on black & white, that's OK...too hot.

So Mom decides after looking at the vendors booths it is time to go home...too hot. Mom doesn't like the heat she talked to one of the people that runs the walk and told them that it was too hot in the afternoon to walk, that she likes it better in the morning....not so hot.

Even if it was too hot for us and Mom we had fun and we got to help orphaned animals...it makes our hearts sing because we did good we helped....hopefully next year they will move it back to the morning so we can have even more fun like we usually do...

Both Mia and I drank lots of water when we got home and you know so did Mom...that was my day for walking!!!!!!

Walkin' in A Doggie Wonderland

Dogs tags ring, are you listening?
In the lane, snow is glistening.
It's Yellow, NOT white-I've been there tonight
Marking up my winder wonderland.

Smell that tree? That's my fragrance.
It's a sign for wond'ring vagrants;
Avoid where I pee, it's MY property!
Marked up as my winter wonderland.

In the meadow my family will build a snowman,
following the classical design.
then I'll lift my leg and let it go Man,
So all the world will know it's mine-mine-mine!

Straight from me to the fencepost,
flows my natural incense boast;
"Stay off of my TURF, this small piece of earth,
I mark it as my winter wonderland."

Merry Christmas

I had my bath and nails cut today

Well as you all know Mia had her bath and then I had mine...we both try to hide we don't want the bath, I really really hate to be wet, but then I have to have shampoo put on me and scrubbed. I got Mom she let go of me for just a second and shake shake shake shampoo and water all over her HEE Hee heee I laughed she deserved it for getting me all wet and rose smelling shampoo on me...

She rinsed me off and put my towel all over me then walked over to the top of the dryer to dry me off. I must admit I do feel better and Mom told me I was dirty now I am clean & smell so good, even if it is roses.

I run all over the house jumping up on Dad and run to the door. I want out but no I can't...I have to go into my bed get covered til I am dry!!!!I wait and wait & wait...finally I get out and again I run and run all over, this time I get to go out.

While I am outside Mom gets the nail clippers and this time I run from her no way is she going to get me and cut my nails even if they are long and need to get cut.

OH OH I lost she got me and she brings into the house by the sliding door, you see she has to almost sit on me and Mia to get our nails cut, I really reallly hate to have my paws touched and nails cut.

Before Mom even starts I am yelping yelping yelping you would think Mom is hurting me or trying to kill me...I manage to get through this ordeal without anyloss of blood she opens the screen door and out I go, I have had enough of this grooming stuff today...she tells me I still need my teeth brushed but she will do that later I wore her out.

Now with my wonderful grooming I am feeling better shhhh don't tell Mom I don't want to let it get to her head!!!! I am having a very deep sleep this afternoon. Thanks Mom I needed it, but I still don't like getting wet, lathered with shampoo and especially my nails cut...

I am having a reaction to something

Mommy noticed that my face was a little swollen earlier this evening. She got up and followed me out into the family room...oh oh she noticed I had accident on the floor little poops in several places. I was busy getting treats from Dad and was acting fine.

Mom asked me to come to her and she looked at my face again and it was swollen even more and now around my right eye was swelling up. I still seemed fine, but Mom was worried, I told her I was getting itchy by scratching and rolling on the floor.

Mom said Milo get up in the chair with me so I can keep an eye on you. Mom and Dad are trying to figure out what happen to me to make my face swell up and they don't have a clue. It happened after Dad ate his dinner and before I got my treats...they are looking all over to see if there is anything on the floor that I might have tried to eat, but they find nothing. Dad told Mom go look in my bed to see if there is a bug in there that could have bitten me. Nothing but Mom finds a surprise poop again...I guess I had a poop reaction too....

Mom decides to call the Emergency Vet for advise if they think I need to go in to see the Vet...she talks to a Vet and she asked Mom questions about my breathing and if I am acting strange...she said if it was a bee sting I should come in right away. Mom said it is raining out she doesn't think a bee would be out in the rain and there are no bee in our house. She asked if I was vomiting and Mom said no I just pooped in my bed and on the carpet. So with nothing happening except my face being swollen the Vet said I should be OK but Mom has to keep watch over me...I am having a allergic reaction to something.

Mom really didn't want to have to take me to the Vet ER if she didn't have to in the pouring rain, so if I still have a swollen face in the morning Mom will take me to my Vet and have them check me to see what is going on...

So I am in my bed resting finally, breathing Ok , I am comfortable, my face is still swollen...so Mom will see how I am in the morning....wish me luck and we may never know what happened to me cause Mom & Dad have no clue.

I am OK and we will let you know tomorrow how I am doing...Mom took a picture of me in my swollen face how imbarrassing...

Swollen faced Milo

Swollen faced Milo no more!!!!

Good news!!!! Mommy is happy to report this evening that I am OK, my swollen face is no more, that's right no more...

We will never know what made my face and around my eye swell up, & I have the itchy skin.
Mom got up all night long to check on me and I was doing OK, I had no other problems all night long, I did drink a lot of water so early this morning I got Mom up again to let me outside, then I finally settled down to sleep until Mom got up.

She got me and checked my face to see if I was still had any swelling, but then I saw the smile on her face and I knew I was better...no more swelling...hooray and no more itching even better.

So I am better and we will never know what happened last night and we will always wonder what happened to me to make me have a reaction...Mom is so happy I am OK today....

No swollen face Milo
