After not blogging for two months I'm back! There have been milestones with Annie, funny moments with the dogs and busy times with the family and Paws-itive Partners the past couple months.
You've heard of beauty benefits of mud baths and how women indulge in the spas. Well, Jasmine's found hers - she loves mud puddles at the dog park. On her back, rolling, rolling, rolling until the mud is rubbed in and caked into her fur. Ahh, cool, lovely!
Annie allowed Husband Bob to pet on her for a few minutes awhile back. Annie looked tense and wouldn't have eye contact with Bob but she stayed and seemed to enjoy the petting and scratching her back. Annie is acting more and more comfortable at the Dog Farm. She's out from her hiding spots about 50% of the time now.
Maggie's been limping yesterday and today. She was fine when we went to work but when we got home she was favoring her front foot. Don't know if she got tangled in the fence trying to get at the garden, misstepped going down the stair or what. The vet said as long as it's improving she's probably fine.
Corgi Pennie and Ms. Brandy are bed hogs! For several months, Brandy's snuck into our bed in the middle of the night. More recently, Bob introduced Pennie to the comforts of our bed, too. Now, every evening there's a race to see who gets to the bedroom first. Brandy still thinks she's top dog and gets most of the room on my side of the bed. It's pretty funny how two dogs can stretch out so far.
Paws-itve Partners' 5th annual Woofstock was a howling success. We had perfect weather, great events and lots of dogs and people at Memorial Park. Dogs strutted in best dressed, most look alike, best trick, biggest wag contests. We had Yappy Hour with cinnamon rolls/coffee and Bow Wow BBQ with hot dogs/hamburgers. The day was a complete success as people and dogs walked around enjoying the day together.
North Platte's Platte River is flooding. Cody Park is sandbagged, East Highway 30 is closed and some neighborhoods have been warned they might have to evacuate. All this is a good reminder we need to plan for emergencies and what to do for our pets. Our government and crisis centers learned from Hurricane Katrina's tragedy that people don't/won't leave their pets behind. It's a good idea for each of us to plan before we need it and know what we will do to help our four-leggeds.
I'm very happy to report that Jasmine is doing fine living with her cancer. She eats well, runs as fast as anyone at the dog park, hasn't lost interest in any of her activities and is still getting good checkups from the vet. You couldn't tell anything is wrong if you didn't see the tumor on her face. Jas acts great, is very affectionate, as beautiful as ever and such a delight to have in the pack. :)
