Nature Friday

 We are joining Rosy this week for Nature Friday~~

We found mini-Daffies in bloom!
The wild onions are up!
I am back to being a normal healthy pup!  I took my last antibiotic on Wednesday!   We want to thank Ruby Rose for her link to natural stuffs that you can do to discourage the eating of poo and we want to thank Dada and Lulu and JavaBean for their link.  Their link was geared more towards foxtails but mom gave it serious thought and concluded that because I love to play with my ball on my lunge line, I wouldn't be able to catch my ball when mom tosses it with the headNet on.  Bummer!   Mom is pretty sure that I ate wild animal poo in my own yard while I was out doing my business.  We have many wild animals that visit - bunnies, woodchucks, fox, skunk, racoon, deer, coyotes and bobcats that we know of.  
Thank you everyone for caring♥
Happy Friday, everybody!

Love ya lots♥

An Unhappy Monday

 At the beginning of this past week, I was vomiting in the middle of the night and it was making my tummy hurt.  And then the bloody poos started.  I refused breakfast on Wednesday and mom made me rice and a scrambled egg.  Boy, was that ever yummy!   I licked my bowl clean for 15 minutes after I had finished!  Mom called my vet and took down a stool sample.  I was fortunate to get in to see him on Wednesday.  The labs hadn't come back yet but Dr M prescribed an antibiotic.    The next day we got a call from the office - no parasites but they discovered that I had eaten wild animal poo and that was the issue.  I'm on antibiotics for seven days and things have gotten much better.

That is part one of this story.   Mom has made it her mission to have this wild animal poo issue never happen again.   She's been looking into muzzles.  Who wants a basket on their face when they want to have fun?!

I hate the Halti.   Mom is able to keep my head off the ground when we walk but what fun it that?  I like to sniff and explore on my walks but I think I'm stuck with the Halti for the time being. 

Does anyone have a suggestion that could help me?   

Love ya lots♥

Nature Friday

 We are joining Rosy this week for Nature Friday~~

We didn't get out to walk at all this week.    Mom hasn't felt well and she googled her many symptoms and after taking the test, she found out that she has covid.    
Playtime has been happening inside~
At one point she went around to the side of the house where lots of spring blooming flowers are planted and she found baby Hyacinths coming up☺
She also discovered that the Lenten Rose was coming into bloom☺
Happy Friday, everyone!   Mom says that next week we will walk for sure!
Love ya lots♥

Washy Wednesday

 Recently, mom found another Furdry bathrobe and was thrilled to find one in a medium and she couldn't hit the "buy it now" button fast enough!

Today was my March bath~

The only problem was when she put it on me after my bath and pulled my tail through the end, it was tight - too tight and it was squeezing my puppy balls so mom had to leave my tail out and the rest of the robe worked out just fine.   She said the expression on my face was priceless and she proceeded to give me lots of kisses to make up for it☺

Happy Wednesday!

Love ya lots♥
