Old dogs are scary
Poor old Gavin.
On Thursday he lost his breakfast and then later his dinner. This after we just got his squirts under control and he went back on mostly his regular food.
So, as of yesterday he began his hamburger and rice diet again, in two small meals. We’ll continue that over the weekend and see if he has any more problems.
At his age, I hesitate when I lift the towel from the front of his crate in the morning. I hope for his normal happy morning greeting.
I dread losing him. I know his days are numbered but when, as today, he runs at me full tilt to bash me in the shin it’s hard to believe that on November 1st he’ll be fifteen.
Not to be outdone…Lucy scared her own squirrel
The squirrel didn’t hear me open the door.
Busy digging under the far side of the magnolia tree we were under his radar.
However, Lucy spotted his tail moving and dove out the back door all bark and bluster.
The tomato and eggplant stealing, fuzzy-tailed tree rat jumped straight up into the air about 3 feet and sprinted up the trunk of the tree with Lucy hot on his heels…until she realized she can’t climb a tree and she back flipped to the grass.
Never a dull moment around here.
Sleepy girl had a busy day.
Gavin the great white squirrel scarer
Yesterday afternoon old Gavin decided to make a vocal round of the yard.
He barked for the sake of barking at each corner of the yard.
When he got to the front, alley side corner he didn’t see the squirrel sitting on the fence, and the squirrel, as is his want, paid no attention to us.
That is until Gavin let loose with a couple of barks at the corner.
The squirrel, startled and panicked, scrambled up the tulip poplar and out of sight in record time.
I laughed so hard I almost fell down.
“Serves you right you tomato and eggplant stealing squirrel!”
Gavin enjoyed all the praise even though he had no idea why I would make such a fuss.
Nope my dogs won’t be eating Pork Chomps.
I saw them advertised during an episode of Dr. Pol.
I thought they sounded good.
Then I saw they were manufactured in China.
With so many dog treats manufactured in China proven to be what has poisoned so many US dogs, I will never buy a treat for mine that is manufactured there.
Sorry Lucy and Gavin. You’ve done without them so far…
Attached to my hip
Yes, Lucy is a like a big white tumor on my hip whenever I sit on the couch.
She can’t get close enough.
I love my little nut ball.
Stop the craziness she wants to get off
So yesterday found Lucy hiding in her crate most of the night. I’m sure today she’ll be in a worse state.
I left the door open and dropped the towel in front of it and she was okay with that.
Let’s play ‘spot the bully’
Nope, you can’t really see her from here she’s ALL the way in back.
