Dental postponed and playing and zoomies!

Woof! My dental is rescheduled for Thursday. Mom’s a dummy and forgot to give me my antibiotics Saturday and Sunday night. She had also been forgetting to make sure all the antibiotic liquid went from the dropper into my mouth.  I could feel the guilt waves coming off of her when she realized these things….  But now she’s set up reminders and is channeling her guilt to check everything.  Yay?

Oh! I did zoomies yesterday! Mom came home from work and chased me around the house – she exclaimed “Go!” and I zoomed around, I stopped, she exclaimed “Go!” and I zoomed around, and repeat until I don’t want to do it anymore. BOL

I’ve also played with mom and my blankets a couple times this week too. She’ll lightly “wrap” it around my head and move it around and take it off and cover my head and take it off, and I try and bite the blanket and paw it off my head and jump around and play bow. We both make silly noises.  And mom’s eyes get all wet and I can feel the happy waves coming off of her.

I can tell she’s anxious cause on one hand, she’s super happy that I’m acting more like my younger self and my spirits are higher since we moved here (I’m climbing stairs and playing!); but on the other hand she’s nervous cause I’m gonna be 12 next month and she doesn’t want to jinx things by having happy thoughts. She’s silly. I mean, Whitley’s my age and playing pool ball, and Atticus is older than me and he’s still hiking mountains.

I hope everypup’s having a good day and is safe and dry – it’s yukky and raining here, blech!

Blood work and teeth cleaning

As mom tells me often (sigh, thanks mom), my breath is terrible and I need my teeth cleaned.  So yesterday we went to the v-e-t so they could do some blood work. The vet said my blood work was “all basically normal”, but of course mom had to call back to find out what the not normal stuff was. Of course. BOL   The vet said my globulin level is high, normal is 3.6 but mine’s 4.5. A high globulin level is consistent with me though, heck, last August it was 5.0, and the vets ran all these tests and found nothing. Anypaw!  But, my albumin and liver and kidney values were normal, so that’s good…

.. wait a second, those being good meant the vet told mom he sees no reason not to proceed with the dental. Drats! Well, ok, I do need my teethers cleaned, and those dental cleaning pads mom uses aren’t getting much of my tartar off, and I hate them, and I don’t like tooth cleaning treats (have I mentioned how picky I am lately? BOL), so I guess I don’t have much choice.  At least mom will stop bugging me about my bad breath, geez. And it’s not like I don’t eat mostly mushy soft foods already anyways cause it’s what I like the best.

BOL, mom posted about this stuff on the facebooks and a bunch of her friends said their doggies who are or were the same age as me, their doggies did fine. Stop worrying mom, geez. But keep up the pets and treats of course! Woof!

Oh! My teeth cleaning is scheduled for Tuesday. Mom started giving me liquid antibiotics yesterday – YUK!!

Hope everypup has a good weekend! Mom says it’s supposed to be a beautiful weekend and we’re gonna spend as much of it outside as we can!  Just like I did yesterday, woof!

I love my yard!

Luv, 
Lacey the nature girl!

Pictures!

I have weeks’ worth of pictures to post!

So during the week before we fully moved in, mom brought boxes and stuff over to the townhouse, and she also brought me so I would feel comfortable there.

I’m gonna stare out these windows all the time!


Mom brought one of my beds over so I could get comfy with that too.



Zzzz… Are we moved in yet?!?



Mom also fed me lots of treats before we moved in so I would feel comfy there. Treats + me = pawsome



I’m starting to feel pawsitively Zen about this place.



During the first couple weeks we were at our new townhouse, mom’s roommate took a bunch of pictures of me at various security posts. He wanted mom to know I was happy, but I also have him wrapped around my paw! He makes me chicken and pasta and rice, and he feeds me lunch when he’s home. I also know how to trick him (and mom of course!) so my nature loving self can go outside – I’ll go by the back patio doors like I need to go outside and ~privacy please~, but then I just go hang out on the deck and don’t do anything but watch my yard. BOL!  Anypaw, here are some pictures!

Views of my front window security post

 




View of the back patio and yard security post (back when the weather was yucky)


 Super Princess guarding the yard (also, it was still cold)
 

I’m wiped out from setting up these security perimeters (also, mom and I had just finished a comfy brushing and petting session)




Me in my yard!!!  For now I’m on a tether or my leash, and sometimes for my quick late night ~privacy please~ I don’t wear either cause mom stands in the yard with me.  


And finally, me on my patio just this very afternoon!




The weather’s been gorgeous so we’ve been taking nice afternoon walks in the park and sitting outside just chillin’.   I’m so glad it’s spring and I have a yard to enjoy it with!

Long time no bark!

Hi pups! Long time no bark! Me and mom have been super busy, we just moved and my grandpawrents visited last weekend! Also there’s no internet at the house right now cause the cable company doesn’t have lines directly to our place, but they’re supposed to fix it next week. Don’t ask how I’m posting this cause I don’t want to get in trouble, BOL.
We’ve been super busy packing and moving over the past few weeks. We moved into our new place a little over a week ago. It’s pawsome! There’s carpet, which I love cause it’s so much easier for me to walk on. Heck, I run around on it! I also have a yard! I love it cause I love being outside, but I’m still getting used to doing my ~privacy please (tm Zaidie)~ cause I’ve been walked on a leash for a long time. I still take mom on walks though, every morning and every afternoon.
Mom’s got a roommate too, and he’s been taking pictures of me at my new security outposts. I’ll have to post them when we have internet back.
Speaking of, gotta run, hope everypup’s doing pawtastic and I’ll post more as soon as I can! Woofs! Lacey
