I have a toe owie.

My Margret took me to have Dr. Boles take a look at it. Dr. Boles and My Margret sat on the floor with me as I did everything in my power to convince Dr. Boles to give me cuddles and not look at my toe. It didn’t work although I did get lots of cuddles and Dr. Boles got lots of licks and kisses from  me. 

She said that I had poked it somehow and gave us an antibiotic/steroid cream to make it get better. She then asked My Margret if she thought I would keep a sock on over my paw. My Margret laughed and said we would try but that I had two sisters who would help me take it off. Dr. Boles also prescribed benedryl to help it not itch so much. 

We tried 2 different socks with tape. Neither one worked. 

So no more socks but the Benadryl helps me not lick it and when My Margret puts the ointment on my toe she tries to take my mind off of it until it dries by hugging me and cuddling me and calling me sweet girl. 

This morning because she forgot to put my sisters in the pup pen while she had me wrapped in a loving bear hug. She had Bessie wanting to be loved on too,  then Belle jumped up to snatch the paper napkin from her lap. She got the napkin from Belle gave them both a pat and sent them with limited success to see our My Greg. In the meantime she is singing to me a silly song complete with coffee breath which I liked. She’s good at multi-tasking like that. (She says their raising their 3 big people helped her with that particular skill.)

Then she said in a funny silly excited voice which is even sillier because she still has laryngitis that it was time for a cheese party with a hot dog chaser. We all got excited then and ran out to the kitchen for our party. It was very tasty and fun and helped me forget my toe owie…. well kind of.

~this is Bonnie “the I am very loved” Pup for the rest of the pups and kitties.

We have a new chair. It makes this funny noise when it moves and it’s loud enough to wake us up. 

I wasn’t sure if I liked it.

Then I got brave enough to take a closer look.

Then I decided it was ok.

Especially since there’s plenty of room to snuggle and cuddle.

We love this couch! 

As do I.

Me Too!!

~nose nudges and rumbly purrs from The  “It’s not a pretty couch but it’s ours” Pups and Kitties.

Guess who’s not afraid of rain anymore.

Not this pup! 

Um, but I probably shouldn’t have jumped up on the couch My Margret was cleaning before she had a chance to dry me off.

Lucy jumped up for some before work forehead bumps and cuddles. I love this sweet girl.

This morning My Margret was checking my ears to see how they were doing. After she gave me a tummy rub I got up, went into the kitchen sat by the refrigerator and asked nicely for a piece of cheese. 

My Margret ruffled my fur and laughed.  I don’t think it was funny. I mean come on I get cheese and hotdogs with my pills and ear powder. I think it’s only fair to expect some cheese when my ears are looked at. 

I mean it’s only right!

Who’s with me?

~ this is Belle “the it’s always time for cheese” Pup for the rest of the pups and kitties.

I was wearing my cone, but I didn’t like it. 

So this happened…

I’m happy now. 

~ this is Bessie “ the I didn’t like my cone so I broke it” Pup for the rest of the pups and kitties.

So Bessie’s ear infection is better but not gone. 

Belle now has two hot spots, one on the underside of each ear flap. 

The pups are not leaving each other alone so on went the cones to give the meds the best possible chance to work. 

Belle a cone veteran is rocking her cone. But this is Bessie’s first time wearing the cone so in spite of her smile not so much.  In fact she’s trying to convince her My Greg to please, please,  please take it off.

And Me well the picture speaks for itself.

~ this is Bonnie “the infection and hot spot free” Pup for the rest of the pups and kitties.

The three ring circus just finished their annual check up at our Vet’s. Bonnie weighed in at 72lbs and Belle weighed in at 78 lbs. all is well with our pups. No ear infection for our ear infection Queen Miss Belle. That was an added bonus! 
Both Greg and I went, the idea was to each have hold of a dog. Yeah…we need to work on that. Even with a bum knee Greg handled both pups at one time with ease while because of their excitement/ anxiety I couldn’t even hold on to one while standing/ walking. We did do some wonderful twists and turns though.

Sigh…

~this  My Margret “clearly needing to do some strengthening exercises” for the pups and kitties.

I’m sad, well actually I’m pouty. The drops haven’t made my ears any better.

 I do though like the cheese I get after my drops. Can you believe it, I get one slice of cheese per ear!

My sisters have been “helping” by licking my ears every chance they get. Every time they do My Margret and My Greg have told them “leave it!” followed by “good girl” . They are starting to think they have new names!

To keep the licking to a min min um minimum I’ve been staying in the house while they get to go outside.  I really, really, really want to be outside with them. Sigh.

My Greg called my vet and I’m getting some different medicine to go with the drops. WAIT! Do you think that means I get cheese AND hot dogs?!?!
