Play dates

Is it weird I want a place where you can arrange puppy/doggie play dates?

Dogs are very social animals if raised right and socialised from the very beginning and what makes you think they don't want to continue this activity?

Our dog LOVES to play with all dogs - some he can play rougher then others but man if you want to run - he is ALL in.

Swim? Oh hellz yeah!

So hmmm maybe I might start like a puppy play date thing because it would be good for the parents as well as the pets!  I swear my dog has more friends then I do - I mean 4 legged friends but thank goodness all owners are quite nice!

So what do you think?

Leaving is hard to do

Good god you would think I was leaving my first born whilst I jet off for vacation ahem I mean holiday!  Well I guess he is my first born just not by me but I am having mini nervous breakdowns about leaving him for 7 nights - about how he will be scarred for life ect... He won't, I know this but I am a freak and I admit it.

He is going to have a fabulous time with his dog sitter here at home and then he gets to go on vacation ahem holiday to the big dog sitters where he will be with other dogs swimming and massive play times! No it isn't a kennel - bite your tongue! It is a home boarder and she is fabulous.  He stayed there one night not to long ago and when we picked him up, he slept for an entire day.  So much puppy fun he was falling asleep sitting up - priceless.  So I feel better to know he has playtime coming up and will be well knackered by the time Prince Charming picks him up.

Still leaving is hard to do when its your baby, furbaby or not ;-)

Furbaby

I don't have my own biological kids and most likely never will so I have a fur baby.  He is my fur child so get over it.  I will post pictures of what we do and accomplishments he completes because for me, he is my fur baby.  It makes me happy - full stop.  I love seeing pictures of puppies and a planning play dates and going places just like you would with your kids.  We do go places with my step dwarfs but now I feel apart of something that is mine and that is my puppy.
I may be a geek.  I am sad.  I may be a loser but I am loved and something that is only 40 pounds makes me stupid happy and I don't want to apologise for it.
I am that person who posts pictures of my dog - ignore it if it bugs you ;-)

This isn't a mean post by any means but understand he is like my child.  He gets feed 3X a day, I hire puppy sitters, get play dates and we have days out.  He just listens better then some kids HA well sometimes ;-)

Ya know that saying? Love me, Love my dog....Never been a truer statement.

Poorly Puppy

So our puppy LOVE water, he would run around in it all day if you let him.  We have had shit tons of rain which its like mini heaven for the furdwarf and of course he was bound to drink some of this water.  Say it with me Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww  It is not clean good water but some water that sits on god know what but puppy/dogs will be puppy/dogs and you can't change it.

Well it has upset the stomach, say it with me Funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn - NOT.  Touch of diarrhea which is always fun to try and clean up (can you say spray hose?).  So I went to the grocery store looking for Pedialyte to ensure furdwarf was hydrated and of course it isn't sold here.  So I searched the baby isle looking for ANYTHING like this and there was nothing.  So I asked the pizza lady, who is awesome and super friendly and she said it is called Dioralyte BUT you have to get it at the pharmacy counter.

I tottle off to the pharmacy counter and ask for this stuff and it goes like this:
Me: Do you have dioralyte?
PharmAsst: Yes, it is a powder
Me: Great I would like some please
PA: Raspberry or Black Current
Me: oh it doesn't matter its for my puppy as I want to make sure he is hydrated
PA: Sorry we cant sell it to you
Me: What?
PA: we cant prescribe vet medicine
Me: I don't want a prescription, this is a kids drink and I have known my whole life that its ok for a dog to drink this as it restore electrolytes.
PA: I will have to check - hold on
Me: (rolling my eyes) ok
PA: Did a vet tell you it was ok
Me: yes in the states, this is common
PA: (asking pharmacist who is hidden) and says ok we can do this

All for a 2.39 quid drink - dumbest thing ever.  I was in the pet shop getting puppy food and talking to them about this and they said oh its crazy.  They wont sell you gauze with vaseline stuff if you say its for your dog because they don't do vet medicine.  So of course we all say yep for my kid or yep its for me.

So lame.

Dog Fight

Where does your dog sleep? Your cat? You monkey ok ok whatever animal you have?

My cats and dog always slept with us and this was normal.  I never locked the dog in another room over night and I don't know anyone of my friends that did.

I am not talking potty training but a dog that can sleep thru the night and cuddle. 

So what side of the bed to you side on?
