It's finally up?



Well at least one is anyway.

He's been holding one ear up at a time for just a minute or so, it must be so exhausting! I can't wait for them both to be up all of the time!

He's just a mess, but we love him!

He still is mistaking my floors for grass. I can take him outside every 20 minutes and sit there for 5-10 minutes and he will not poop, pee is no problem, but as soon as he comes in the house or is on the pool deck he goes! It's really making me crazy! I guess it's that whole "boy thing".

He's not a big chewer, although he did get the lever to the recliner.

He comes when called, usually.

He's scared to death of the pool and while I was grocery shopping last night he was given a bath and I guess he's no fan of that either!

We had our first big scare with him last night, it's a good thing I came home when I did! I wish I had thought to take a picture of what I pulled from his throat, yes pulled from his throat! I came home and Peanut greeted me with a call "CALL MISS ELLEN {our vet} Rogue has gum, pink gum and it wasn't me because I don't chew pink gum".

True.

I come around the corner and Babe and Honey are struggling to hold him down to see what's in his mouth. I sit on the floor, at this point not worried, and see what appears to be an Airhead stuck to his teeth and the side of his mouth. Now, he's one strong and scrappy 24 pound puppy, it took Babe and I together to hold him down and pry his mouth open. I was finally able to grab hold of the mystery pink stuff and pull. It didn't move. I grabbed a gain and pulled a little harder. Still nothing. At this point Babe is afraid of hurting his jaw and I'm terrified of pulling his throat, lungs, intestines or whatever out his mouth while the girls watch in horror. I pull a little harder and it's as if I'm a freaking magician, it just keeps coming and coming! Y'all, I pulled out a pair of panties! Yes, dude tried to eat panties! There was only about 1 1/2" of fabric in his mouth the rest was already down his throat!

I called the vet and she said to watch him but that he should be just fine, hers eats socks all the time! Really do I have a puppy or a goat?

We then had a talk with the girls about the importance of putting things where they belong! Having a puppy is so much like having a baby running amuck, it's so easy to forget.

He's keeping me busy that's for sure!


It's a good thing he's so darned cute!

Happy Monday Ya'll!

I worked at an animal clinic while in college; I've walked dogs before and had them poop socks several times...once a pair of little boys underwear.

Crazy!

OMG he IS adorable :) I was pet sitting for my Mom one weekend years ago and her dog wiggled her way into my almost-but not quite zipped suitcase and ate a pair of my brand new panties - nice ones. I was not happy. She blamed me. Hmph. Glad you were able to get them back, even if they weren't in one piece!

I never heard of any baby that swallowed panties!

I had a German Shepherd when I was a kid who ate work gloves. Yes, we found one in his pooh.

My dog is PETRIFIED of water...like seriously terrified.
