The Floor of Doom!

This is as far up onto the new floor as I will go. It is the floor of doom!! Rebel doesn't mind the new floor at all though. He really is enjoying his Mommy and Daddy time without me while they are in the living room. He even gets up on the couch with them and gets all kinds of love and attention!! Oh that pesky brother! I wish I could conquer my fear and walk on the floor already but I just can't seem to do it!

We are still alive!

This summer was crazy for everyone! Mommy was super busy with work and didn't have a lot of time to let us use her computer. Now we should have more time though because Mommy is going to be at home a lot more now. She doesn't have a job anymore but told us not to worry because her and Daddy went hunting and got us plenty of antelope to eat!

Close Encounter of the Skunk Kind!

The other night we had a visitor! A black and white striped visitor that didn't smell very good at all! Mommy called it a skunk. We were outside just hanging out for a little bit before bedtime while Mommy and Daddy watched some TV. All of a sudden the back door flies open and Daddy is yelling for us to get inside - so we did. Mommy hurried up and checked us and said that the scent wasn't too bad on us which meant we didn't get a direct spraying but instead were just wafted with it. So she spritzed us down with vinegar and didn't have to rush to give us yucky baths!!

A few days later a box showed up in the alley side of our fence. In the early morning hours after Mommy and Daddy left for work a cat got into that box. Mommy said that the box was a trap that the city had put out for the skunks and not for cats. Anyhow me and Rebel went crazy about that cat being in that box just on the other side of our wooden fence. We scratched and clawed and barked and went nuts trying to get to see that cat that we could hear over the fence. Grandpa got up and came over to see what all the fuss was about and found that we had broken the fence enough to get both of us stuck trying to get out at the same time. So he pushed us back into the yard and then let the cat out of the box. Then Grandpa had to repair the fence since Mommy and Daddy were both gone at work. Needless to say Grandpa was not happy with us and we didn't get our daily treats. When Mommy came home she had more work to do on the fence and she wan't very happy with us either.

So the skunk is still on the lose but so far we haven't been sprayed yet this year!

We're Back!

Mommy is finally starting to get some time to breathe again so she let us use her computer to let you all know what is going on with us so far this summer!

I had a set back with my health problems too - I guess I take after Mommy - but I am feeling better and getting back to being me again! I had the colitis when Mommy and Daddy first got back from Florida and then when I was getting over that I started to have problems accepting the new laminate floors in the house. I freaked out once and really hurt myself and then I wouldn't walk on that floor at all for a long time! Mommy had to give me anti-stress medicine and prednisone for quite a while. I am feeling great again now though and will walk on that floor now too. I still slip and slide sometimes but I just can't help it I get too excited and forget to walk carefully!! Mommy and Daddy say that they are really happy to have me back to being me though :)

Rebel is well Rebel and of course he doesn't mind that floor at all! He has really been enjoying the summer weather and Mommy and Daddy have to force him to come in and have family time!

Rebel and I really had a good time with our Florida Grandpa when he was up here visiting. I really missed him when he first left because he always gave us extra ear and belly scratches!

Well I better let Mommy have her computer back!! I will bark at you all again soon I hope!

Another Bout of Sickness & Company

Hi everyone!

Sorry it has been so long since we posted. Mommy & Daddy have been very busy with company at the house so we haven't been able to get on the computer to talk to you all.

Suzy had another bout of sickness and is on 3 kinds of medicine right now, but she finally seems to be doing better. She still wont walk on the laminate floor so Mommy has a carpet runner from the back door to the bedroom door where it is carpeted and has been feeding her and everything in there! I don't mind the new floor at all!! I think that it is fun to go slipping and sliding all over the place! I hope that Suzy gets over her fear of the floor soon though because I miss eating with her.

We both have been enjoying extra belly rubs and love from our Florida Grandpa though! We really love when he comes to see us!

Well Mommy said to tell you all goodbye because it is her turn to use her computer!!

Slowly but Surely

I think that I am starting to feel a little bit better. Mommy is still trying to get me to eat a little bit every few hours and sometimes I cooperate and eat and sometimes I just turn up my nose. I am getting special prescription canned dog food, yogurt, meat baby food, and our regular rice and wild game food. Mommy just tries to tempt me into eating a few bites each time.

Last night I felt well enough to roll over and give up my belly for belly rubs, but then this morning I am was feeling weak again.

Rebel is being a good big brother though and gets between me and anyone outside so that they can't jostle me in case my belly is hurting or I am too weak to feel safe.

I think that I am getting better. Mommy said that I will have good days and bad days still with the colitis and that I need to eat small amounts all through the day. I still am having headaches some and acting off a little too. Mommy said that something could have happened to me when I was with the vet techs last week getting my x-rays because of how rough they were with me and how stressed out I was. She said if I don't start getting over the things that started after that she is going to call the vet again. I so do not want to go to the vet again! That place scares me!!

Thank you all for the well wishes, thoughts, and prayers! I think that they are helping me to get better.

Can't Shake It

Hi everyone!

Just a quick update. I am not doing well at all. This colitis really has me down. I don't even want to eat at all. Mommy was able to tempt me with some yogurt this afternoon and I ate a few spoonfuls of that but I don't want my food at all especially not that prescription dog food!

Mommy and Daddy both look really worried about me and keep saying that I need to keep fighting. Rebel is being really nice to me too.

I hope that I can shake this colitis and get to feeling better already!
