Long time, no see! :)



My life is crazy. It's so hectic here sometimes!
Okay, on to the dogs.
Frankie is doing well. My husband has been out of town for a few days and she sleeps with me when he's gone - I loooooove it! :) She's such a little heater! I think I like it more than she does, though. Sometimes, she has me put her down so she can crawl into her own bed in the middle of the night. I try not to take offense.
Oscar is OBSESSED with tennis balls. He has popped 3 already. He rolls them around and chases them all by himself. I have to take it away to make him go outside to go potty and to get something to drink. He exhausts himself!
The dogs had their first real scuffle. Oscar nipped Frankie (she made a move for the ball, which is funny because she cannot fit her mouth around it). They growled and got a little carried away but then kissed and made up. No skirmishes since!
Okay, I'm off to catch up on your blogs!

Hi, again!

Here I am snuggling with Frankie.
I looooove my rawhide.

She's beautiful! :)


It's me, Oscar. Mom says to tell you my owie is healing nicely. I'm adding that it itches and I'd like to chew it constantly, but I know I'm not supposed to!






Also, there are lots of birds in our yard. I'm sure they are trying to get in the house and do some damage, so I'm watching them closely and chasing them out of the yard!






When I'm not being the resident watchdog, I like to chew on my rawhide. Seriously - it is the highlight of my day. Sometimes, Frankie takes it and leaves hers and I just switch with her.






Okay, I've got to go. Naps to take, yards to fertilize, birds to chase. :)

Rain, rain, go away!

Oh, the rain! It's nice but the dogs hate it so.

Oscar is healing again. He and Frankie are getting along well. He still seems to be a little neurotic but he's mellowing out some.

Frankie is still her soft and sweet self. I love that dog! She doesn't always love me - especially when Oscar is near my lap on the couch, but she's coming around. She does seem to love Oscar, though. She licks him and they play all the time. It's so sweet.

I'll try and get some pictures of that!

Oh my gosh. Seriously?

Okay - you are not going to believe this. Oscar has managed to open his wound! And it was totally closed! I have no idea what is going on. He's been - ahem - licking himself a bit the past couple of days and I finally thought to take a peek at his personal area and the wound is open. *sigh*
It's such a bummer. He's back in the neck cone and towel neck wrap thingy. I am bummed. Why would he do that? Grrrrr!
Fortunately, he's still on the stinking antibiotics from before so hopefully he won't get an infection!

Friday!

Ahhh, I love Friday! It means that there are more of my family around the house! I'm a little concerned because everyone is packing lunches for tomorrow as if they are going to be gone.

Hmmmmm.

Oscar here.

Hello, all. It's Oscar here. Frankie said I should just write about my day, so here it goes.

I ate this morning and it was so very good. It's nice not to be hungry all of the time - although I do want to eat much more than I am given! After a brief nap, I was hauled to the vet.

This is where my day takes an ugly turn.

I was supposed to get one shot. This turned into a visit with the doctor, a temperature taking (a-hem! excuse me back there! We have only just met!), TWO shots, and then I heard my mom mention that I was seen scooting across the gravel outside. This comment got me put into a very awkward position indeed! There was some squeezing back there that I did not appreciate, although I do feel much better now. I'm not going to let my mom know that, though!

Also, my family was gone a lot today. Not for long periods of time, but in and out. I hate to be alone and I am much happier when I'm in the kennel with Dixie if they aren't here. She's very cuddly. They say she's 12 years old, which explains why she just lays down and sleeps all the time.

I am hopeful that tomorrow will be a little better. But even the worst of days are still great in my new forever home!

See ya!
Oscar
