It's my birthday!

I am officially one year old today! **dances around & chases tail**

My BFF Cindy Lou (a friend's doggie (non-dogster)) is over today & we are having a ball!

First I chase her then she growls at me & chases me back. She's a lot smaller than me so mom said I have to "play nice." BOL

Mom got me 2 of my favorite toys ever...Those little stuffed duckies that quack. She usually gets me one whenever she gets paid but I am very rough with my toys & they don't last but a few days.

So she said maybe 2 of them will last a bit longer. So me & Cindy Lou have been playing tug of war with one of them. bol

She can't believe I'm a year! They've only had me since February but man have I grown! Mom says I'm getting a bit uh wide in the sides, kinda like her. **giggle**

Mom pawromised she'd be putting up some new pics of me soon. Seems like all my catsibs are always getting new pics, but not me! But she said I'd get some new ones so I'm excited!

Home again home again...

Well mom came & picked me up from the vet's this morning.

The vet said I was a very good girl & did totally pawsome during & after the surgery.

He said my belly bruised a little, but otherwise all was well.

So me & mom are in the car driving home when she hears that tell-tale sound of a animal about to hurl. She glance behind to check on me & pulled over.

It was very yellow & foamy & mom was worried & called the vet who told her it was okay. That since my tummy has been empty it was most likely some bile (the yellow color) coming up because I was sick to my tummy from the knock out gas.

He said as long as I don't keep throwing up I should be okay. So far that was the only time I did. Though I have not eaten much at all & wanted nothing to drink yet either.

Mom snapped a few pictures of my belly & my leg where my dew claw used to be. **so embarrassing**

But I am home & am resting comfortably. Mom is guarding me from the kitties because they want to take advantage of me not feeling good & pounce on me. bol

Spay day!

Well mom just dropped me off at the vets office.

I guess this was supposed to happen a week ago but she had to put it off.

So today she told me I was going to the vets to stay overnight. I told her I didn't want to but she was pretty insistent so what's a doggie to do?

Here is what the nice vet guy said he was gonna do:

Spay me
Trim my nails
Give me my puppy booster shot
Remove my dew claws

Mom was glad he was removing my dew claws. She said they are odd & each have 2 nails growing from them. I tend to get them caught on stuff easily & she doesn't want me to snag them one day & hurt myself.

The vet said it's just a skin flap like a mole, only with claws. That gave mom a bad mental image. BOL

So wish me luck!

Woohoo I'm legal!

Well that's what mom says anyway. bol

I went to the vet today & got my first series of puppy shots & the nice lady gave me a pretty blue rabies tag to put on my collar!

I did fantastic at the vets. The only problem came when mom lifted me on the table. I started shaking really bad cause I was kinda scared. But mom & the vet gave me lots of pets & loving & told me what a good girl I was so that helped me relax a bit.

Once I was off the table I was back to sniffing everything in the room.

Mom asked the vet what kind of dog she thought I might be & she said if I had longer fur she'd think border collie or some sort of spaniel.

Now we just looked up both of those breeds & we gotta be honest, we just don't see either of them in me.

Mom thinks she sees a little dobie & my friend Rocky said maybe a german pointer.

Grandmom says she sees doxie.

Maybe I'm a mix of all of them? I'm not little like a doxie, but I'm not really big like a dobie either. bol

Heinz 57 sounds about right though. bol!

Oh before I forget mom says I have a important date with the vet on St. Patrick's Day. I wonder if I'm gonna get some corned beef & cabbage?

**Mom note**

Sadie is set to be spayed then. We are having to wait a few more weeks because she was still in heat when we got her.

What am I?

Mom has been trying in vain to figure out what kind of doggy I am.

She says that I like to "point" & she's never had a dog that did that before. My nose leads me to trouble sometimes & I simply must investigate everything!

I am energetic then I can crash & sleep. She chalks that up to still being a pup. bol

I don't bark a lot, usually when I'm playing & am excited, or hear something outside.

If I get focused on something, for example there were some kids playing down the block & they were hollering & playing. I stopped dead in my tracks (I was supposed to be going potty) & I put my head down & stared intently & lifted my front leg like I was pointing to them. I watched them a long time.

Mom thinks I was making sure they were okay. I love playing with kids.

Now mom knows she's seen a dog with my looks before but cannot think of what it might be.

She had wondered if I might be part Vizsla, but I don't have the uniform coloration. She thinks my head & ears look like them though.

She also thinks maybe a little Doxie? bol what a mix!

If anyfur has *any* idea what kind or kinds of dog I might be, please throw mom a bone, it's driving her batty!

Hello Dogster!

Wow, what a pawsome place this is! **hops around howling**

Mom & Grandmom are going crazy trying to figure out what kind of dog I am. They think they see some, Doxie & Beagle, but just aren't sure. If any of you have any ideas please drop me a pawmail.

I'm in my first week with my new family & I gotta say it's been a lot of fun so far...well except for the potty training stuff, but my new mom says I will get it eventually. bol

The place I came from had a kitty that I always tried to play with, but she didn't really like to play. But this new place has a *ton* of cats!!!

I have made one good friend in the house & that is Oly. She didn't hiss at me at all & in fact gave me head bonks which totally send me into racing all around the living room in an excited frenzy!

Mom will sometimes tell me "No" when I accidently roll Oly across the floor. I just get so excited that she wants to play that I forget she's a lot smaller than me. When she does go rolling she usually lets me have it afterwords. So we love to play but mom keeps a watchful eye on us so nofur gets hurt.

The other cats are still in the hissing stage with me. Most of them don't mind me getting too close or chasing after them wanting to play, but Noah & Oliver just flat out hate me I think. They are always hissing & spitting at me, even if I'm like a gazillion feet away from them!

Mom pawromises it will just take some time. I hope so cause they look like a lot of fun & can climb really high! I'm going to have to have them show me how they do that!

I got my very first bath today. It wasn't very fun but I got treats & lots of loving afterwords so maybe baths aren't too bad...

Right now I'm boxed out on mom's bed sleeping. They are working with me on the crate training. I don't like to be in the crate for very long. Even though they put treats & toys in there & make sure someone is in the room with me to get me used to it.

So far I've spent two nights in it. I do okay until the lights get turned out then I whimper & sometimes bark. Mom put me in the crate in her room since she's usually up really late at night. She's hoping it might help to have someone awake where I can see them & know nothing bad will happen to me in the crate.

Mom says I'm going to see the vet tomorrow. She said something about needing my puppy shots. Since the place I came from found me, no one knows my history so we don't know if I've had the shots or not.

She said after I'm finished with being in heat **blush** that I'm getting "fixed." I told her I didn't feel broken, but she just smiled & patted my head.

So all in all things are going great!
