Merry Christmas!

I wish all you people who look at my blog a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I wonder if I'll get anything in my stocking....hmmm, we'll see!
( Don't forget to stick your head in the snow and enjoy it! Sorry to all you doggies who don't have snow because you're really missing out!)

Snow-Dog-A Little Late

Woof, hello dogger-bloggers! Sorry I haven't posted in so long! I'm really busy, and my sis keeps hogging the computer. Well, let me tell you about the pictures. The first one is a close up shot of my, as you can see, BEAutiful face, I know, it's great. The second one shows me sporting my awesome Christmas collar. The third is weird, I know. I'm rolling in the snow, and then the third is me sitting up, and the fourth is just me in the snow. Well, that's all I can say, gotta go, bye!

Snow Day, Apparently

Hello! These pictures are actually from just about 1/2 an hour ago! It snowed A LOT last night, so my sister didn't have to go to school. She got up early, looked at the noisy, flashing box that the humans like to watch, and then she said "Oh, it's a snow day!", and she went back to bed for 2 hours! Peculiar, huh?!? Well, I like it. In the pictures she went out and braved the snow and took me for a walk all the way down the driveway! It was lots of fun. I'd run a few steps, cough(I'm still sick), and then bury my head in the snow for no reason! I guess I'm supposed to know why, but I don't. The pictures were taken at the beginning of the walk, just before we started. She was playing with me. It was tons of fun! I like it when she stays home.

Today is my last day of taking the one really big pill I've had to take for a week. I'm glad, because it doesn't taste that good, and it was just a nuisance. The other ones aren't as bad. I keep taking them and eating the canned food for one more week and then I'm done!!!! Yey, that'll be the day! Whoopie!!!!!! Anyway, I have to go. I think my mom and sister are going to make human treats(dog treats for humans, duh!), and I want to be there to smell them, although, of course, I'm banned from eating the delicious pastries. So, have a good day! Bye!!!

Hello, I'm Back!!!

Hello, bloggers, I'm back!!! Sorry it took so long for me to post again. Thank you so much for all your kind comments on the last post that my sister did. I'm feeling much better now. I have to have two big, fat pills twice a day, and three little green pills 3 times a day, 1/2 an hour before I eat a meal (1/2 a can of wet food). I love this new plan. I don't have to bother with dry food at all anymore! It's just canned food. Unfortunately, the cans area all one flavor, I think chicken and rice, but it's still good. I take the pills like a good little dog. Mommy wraps them in canned food, and puts it on a plate, and I eat it!!! I like it. I do miss the table scraps and treats, though. Mom said that now that we know I have such a sensitive stomach I won't get any bones anymore, and not as many table scraps :-(. I'll miss that...I do still try to cough something up whenever I get up from lying down, but we're all hoping that will go away. Well, thanks so much for all your kind words. Have a nice day!
P.S. The picture is just a random picture. It's a summer pic., because right now there's about 1 1/2 inches of snow on the ground.....yey!

Abby's Feeling a Little Under the Weather....

.

Hello, this is Mellimouse, Abby's (human) sister, posting. I'm running this post because Abby's not feeling too good, and I am the blog editor, after all...
You're probably wondering about all the pictures above. Well, let me explain. It all started last night (Monday night). Abby wouldn't eat her food, and she just wasn't acting like normal. Then she started trying to throw up, but nothing would come out. She would just hack and retch, but nothing happened! Then she started panting, and breathing really fast and hard. We were really worried about her, and we thought maybe she had a bone or something stuck in her throat. We waited out the night and in the morning she was still trying to throw up... We called the vet and scheduled an emergency visit. The vet looked her over and said that they would do x-rays and then an Endoscopic Exam(they called it a "Scope") to see if she had any "foreign bodies" that were causing her to act so weird/sick. They did both those and found that there was something, so they put her under and did surgery and found out that her stomach was inflamed(bright red!). They found a piece of something she ate that had caused it all, but it was very small and it fell apart when they took it out. They said if we had left Abby alone it would have healed itself soon. She just got home a little while ago, and she was still a little dizzy from the anesthesia. She got out of the trunk and started walking towards the house, but she was walking back and forth and her legs kept crossing each other. She's in her cage now(last pic.), resting. I'm looking at her right now and she's resting her head, eyes closed, fast asleep. So, she can't eat her regular dog food(3rd pic.) for two weeks. She has to be fed just prescribed canned food(1st pic.) and a special pill 1/2 an hour before(2nd pic.), so that she can keep the food down, and another pill twice a day...Let's see how this goes...normally when we give her a pill we wrap it in salami, but we can't do that now. Well, we'll do it somehow. I'll make sure Abby posts as soon as she's feeling better. Oh, wait, what was that?...Oh, she said to tell you bloggers she says hi, and she'll be up and blogging again real soon. She has to eat the first pill now, so I've gotta go. Bye!!!!!!

Bath Time!!!!!!!!!!!!!(Don't be Fooled, this is NOT a Good Thing!)

Hey, what a surprise, I'm posting again after just 3 days!!!!!! Wow, I'm good aren't I?!?
So, here's the story. On Thursday(or maybe it was Friday, anyway) I rolled in some really great smelling "natural"(I'm a natural dog, I eat Nutro food, I roll in nutro stuff!) perfume (I also ate it and had to make my sister get up twice in the night to clean up after me, 'cause I got sick) and my family for some reason didn't like the smell!!! Can you believe it?!?!?! They didn't like it. So, I had to get a b....b....b-b-b-bath! I hate that word. Baths are terrible. The water is cold, the fact that there's water on me in the first place is bad, but it's cold! And she just keeps getting me wet, even if I shake it off! It's crazy! So, my sister gave me a bath under our deck. As you can see, it was really cold and there was, like, 20 or so(give or take a few) feet of snow on the ground, and she gave me a bath anyway. My mom did take the time and fill soda bottles with warm water, which was nice the first few seconds on my skin, but then the breeze would hit it and I'd feel cold again! I got cleaned in all my nooks and crannies, and even if it was cold, at least I'm nice and fluffy and clean now. It makes mom kinda angry, 'cause I shed a lot more, but she's the one who gave me the bath, so the way I see it, it's the humans fault, once again! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed my post. I probably won't post until next weekend again, just so you know, but you can check anyway (and leave me comments!)
I know this is a little early, but
HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! Don't forget to eat LOTS of food! Bye!

The Vet Visit *Dun, Dun, Duuuunnnnn*! (sorry, it's a little late)

Hey, bloggers, how are you? I'm good! Sorry I haven't posted in awhile! My computer broke, and I was busy, etc, etc. So, here's the post:
Last Monday (not this week Monday, last week Monday) I went to the vet to see about my itching. I'm getting used to the vet because I've been to the kennel, and it's at the same place. I don't shake anymore when I'm there. I used to shake really hard because I was scared, but now I don't. Anyway, the first picture is of me and the nurse (the lady before the vet), and the second one is just me in the exam room. The last one is me trying to get out the door. I don't mind being there, but when I can leave, I leave, thank you very much. Anyway, the vet said that he doesn't know what my problem is. He stuck me with a pointy pencil thing and said that "it would help" for a month or so. Well, all it did was cause me pain! Jeez! He said it would make me really thirsty, and that part is true. I drink a lot. It does seem to have gotten a little better, I must admit. He said it might be allergies. So, here I am, still a little itchy, and really thirsty. Bye!

Fall Days.........Sorry I haven't posted!

Hey, bloggers!!!!!! Sorry I haven't posted in awhile! I've been really busy, with fall and all(ha ha, that kind of rhymes!!!!). These pictures are of me with another deer bone. Some deer died again in our woods and I'm eating it now. It's really good, let me tell you!!!!!! It's so bony, and....um, hard, and cold, and gross looking. Ok, so it doesn't sound that good, but it does taste really good!!!!!!! I love it!!!!! I wish other doggy bloggers would post.......(hint, hint, people!).....
I'm itching really bad lately. I don't know, I'm just so itchy! My family even switched me to Nutro food with oatmeal for dry skin, and for awhile it got a little better, but now I'm scratching again!!!! I can't help it!!! I really want to get better. My sister told me that I have to go to the veterinarian on Monday......yey(not!). My sister always informs me on stuff that's going to happen. She tells me when she's going to leave for a vacation, or if a friends are coming, and she wakes me up at night when I have a nightmare. They're terrible!! I dream that I'm running after a big deer bone, just begging me to eat it, but the faster I run, the farther it gets from me, and the more I drool. My sister always leans down when she hears me scraping me claws on the cage side and wimpering and she says, "Abby, wake up honey, it's just a dream". Then she gets out of bed and makes me get out, too, and she sits on the floor and I dig my head into her lap. We sit there for awhile, and then she climbs in my cage and makes sure my blankets are straight, and then we go back to sleep.
Anyway, I don't know how I went from bones to sleeping, but oh well. Good night, everyone!!!!!
