Mom told me on the phone the other day that Boots and Poochie either got into rat poison or ate a mouse that had eaten the poison and were dying so she was going to have to put them down. I didn't hear anything else about it after I'd sent her a message with what she needed to do to try and save them ( Read more... )

Every time I look at Taz I feel bad. Earlier this year I shaved him, not down to the skin but enough to deal with his fur knotting up between brushings. It had gotten pretty bad, especially near his tush and it was getting to the point where I was having to give him a bath more than once a week to deal with 'stuff' in his fur after he'd gone potty ( Read more... )

Spent the morning alternating between sleeping and running to the bathroom with nausea/pain. I think the latter is finally done. I hate when this hits because I'm pretty sure its not a stomach bug but something that has randomly hit me off and on for the last few years and I've never figured out the cause. I hope this is the only instance for a ( Read more... )

Honestly, the sweetness and adorableness of this picture could be considered a lethal weapon (so be careful when you click the thumbnail). I sorta went crazy at the time and I think I actually took about six or seven pictures of them asleep like this. *vbg*

Correction about the sex of the pups. I've been so out of it these past two weeks that I've thought that Spotty was a boy and Butterfly was a girl. It's actually the opposite. *facepalm ( Read more... )

I lost Goblin (mom called him Bruno after the daddy) at 6:30 pm after spending the last 36 hours trying to keep him alive ( Read more... )

Ten minutes ago I lost one of the pups, the little girl we called Butterfly because she has a brown mark on her back in the shape of a butterfly. She'd been doing well up until about three hours ago and she stopped moving even though she did eat 3 ml of puppy formula ( Read more... )

I went to walk Yoda and Taz and had the scariest moment in my life. Minnie slipped out the door between my legs. Usually she doesn't go far unless Yoda is right at her side and despite the fact I had him on a leash she took off across the yard anyway. She paused when I told her to come back to me but she decided to be her typical stubborn self and ( Read more... )

*grabs tissues* Thanks everyone for the well wishes and the kind words. The family is working hard during the day to get the new place ready to move into. Most of the rooms are painted and we're waiting to find out if the gas stove works and for the landlord to replace the leaky hot water heater. I think once the paint dries in a couple days we're ( Read more... )
