Bloodwork results

I'm just going to paste in what mom wrote on facebook, I'm too full of freshly boiled chicken to type. Woof!

Results from Lacey’s blood tests yesterday: Titers were protective, greater than 1:5, so no more distemper/parvo vaccines, yay. :)   Her globulin is still elevated, but a tad lower than the past. Her organ panel was “great”;  kidney, liver, and pancreas enzymes were normal levels. Her thyroid was slightly lower than normal, but this is likely a normal variation since she’s not showing signs of hypothyroidism. (One of which is gaining weight, which I’d love for her to do, heh. But not because she’s sick of course.)

Good, right? I deserve a big nap after pasting that!

Happy National Dog Day!

Wanna know what my mom did for me on National Dog Day? She took me to the vet. *facepaw* BOL  The vampi, er, vets took blood for my heartworm test (negative), 6 month senior bloodwork and titer test. I'll let ya know how everything turns out.

Here's me yesterday waiting for mom to come home from making my treat money:

Visitors, weekend fun, and new bed!

So mostly nothing happens around here except me being spoiled rotten.  But lots of stuff happened this weekend!

First, my previous old human and doggy roommates visited Friday morning!  Me and mom (and angel furbro Shakespeare) lived with them for two years, and I ruled that pack, BOL. We were all happy to see each other! Me and Bela barked and sniffed and caught up on our news. I jumped against previous human roommate, all butt wiggles and barks, and he finally relented, sat down, put me in his lap and petted me. He’s still well-trained, BOL.  Bela’s dad brought in her stuff, and I promptly took over her bed.

Have I mentioned Bela is an 80 lb pittie mix?!? BOL  She’s super sweet and submissive, and she’s a senior girl like me.  

I’m still the alpha, BOL

 Later on Friday, me and mom traveled to visit my grandpawrents. Bela stayed with my current human roommate, who watched her for the weekend.  I love visiting my grandpawrents. They have two schnauzers, Adeline and Samson, who were both adopted from Schnauzer Rescue of the Mid-Atlantic.  My grandpawrents have a big fenced-in yard, which I LOVE. I was in and out all day, just like a little kid, BOL.  A couple of times I’d bark at the door like I wanted to come inside, mom would open the door to let me in, and I’d walk back into the yard – cause I wanted her to be outside with me. She’s well-trained. BOL

Mom bought me a new bed while we were there. It’s big so I can stretch out and orthopedic cause I’m a senior doggy.

I appawrove.

 

We went back home on Sunday. My new bed was in the backseat with me, so I got a little extra boost to look out the windows. (Btw, we have a doggy hammock for my car safety.)

Bela was still there when we got home, so after I took short naps in my new bed, I took over her bed again. BOL

 

Mine!

 Also mine! Until it goes home with Bela.

Bunny in my yard!

A little brown bunny rabbit showed up in my yard today! I told it off good! Get outta my yard before I get you! Wooof woof bark bark bark!!

Bunnies are my arch nemeses, like squirrels are to most terriers. My angel furbro Shakespeare went nuts (ha!) over squirrels.  I haven’t seen a bunny since when me and mom and Shakey lived in our apartment a few years ago. Those bunnies (and squirrels) wandered all over the place and I often told them off through the patio door.  

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this here, but mom thinks it’s hilarious that bunnies are my enemies and I’m small and fluffy and look like a bunny. Hahaha mom, not.

Oh, here’s a pic of me and her napping the other night:

Isn't she adorable? BOL

Ladybug bag plus me

Mom got her ladybug bag today! She says she's going to tote her Lacey bug's stuff in it. Hardy har har. You can see in the bottom left corner how amused I am, BOL.

You can get your own ladybug tote and other cute and not-so-cute stuff at http://www.redbubble.com/people/wolfehanson

A cute ladybug!

Hi pups! Mom's roommate draws stuff. He drew this adorable ladybug, which you can get on a pillow, a tote bag, or more! I'm glad they don't sell dog tees cause then mom would want to buy me one.

There's also zombees (Whitley! Finley! Get em!) and cats and bees and dinosaurs!

You should buy his stuff cause he's talented and pawsome, and he makes me chicken and feeds me, and he lets me sit on his lap, and he gives the best pets in the world.

Apparently I’m a brat, BOL

This morning I was out of bed before mom was out of the shower. (This is rare for me cause I usually stay in bed ‘til she’s done getting ready for work, then she has to nudge me downstairs.)  Before she’d even gotten dressed, I’d gone down the stairs*.  She figured I really had to go do ~privacy please~, so she put her pj’s back on and, with her wet hair wrapped in a towel, took me in the backyard. Where I sniffed and sniffed and didn’t do anything.  So she shoved me back inside (not literally), brought me upstairs with her, and finished getting ready - all the while I glared at her and made small grumbles cause I wanted her to take me back outside and hurry up about it!  

After she was ready, we went back downstairs, she leashed me up, called me a brat, and took me on our usual morning walk, where she called me a brat a few more times cause I wouldn’t walk or wanted to go in a different direction that her. Have I mentioned lately that I’m a stubborn princess girl?!?! BOL

Oh yah, and the reason I was up early, and up early the last two mornings (i.e. out of bed before mom was ready for work) is cause I didn’t do any ~privacy please~ when mom lets me out in the yard for “last call” ~privacy please~.

*I never went up and down the stairs at my old house. They weren’t carpeted, so I couldn’t get a grip to move on ‘em.  The stairs at this new place are carpeted, and mom and her roommate encouraged me to go up and down them, and now I do without fear! Sometimes I still need encouragement to go up the stairs. But I’m totally ok going down them, esp. if mom is still in her pj’s, BOL.

Oh! Here’s a pic mom’s roommate took of me yesterday while mom was in yoga class. He titled it “Dog, why you no sit like dog?” I was just sharing her yoga vibes, BOL.

 

Oooohhhhmmmm
