Find It

Hey new guy, wanna play a game? Sure. How do you play? You close your eyes and wait while I hide a biscuit. Then I'll all you, and you sniff till you find it. OK!

*

You're going to eat that whole box yourself, aren't you? Heck Yeah. Kidney Krisps are my favorite.

*

After all, what's he going to do about it?

*

Aw come on. Just give me the biscuit already!

I originally taught this game to Geordie. When Toby came along, I was worried that Geordie would understand the game better and get to the treats before Toby had a chance. Not. Toby caught on very quickly, and by Day 3 he was not only finding his biscuit but he was getting Geordie’s as well.

Without another dog to teach Murphy, it took him a tiny bit longer to catch on, but now he is ready to play every day. He is getting so good that I’m struggling for challenging hiding places for his treats.

*

Yeah, well "what" are you doing here? I live here now.

*

No, this can't be! I'm the only dog mom draws with flopped-over ears. There can't be two of ous! (Well at least mine are natural.)

*

No, this isn't fair! I don't want another brother! I didn't ask for another brother! Ha ha! How do you think I felt when you showed up, you little runt?

*

Hey, what's with the superhero cape? Mommy only draws ME with a black cape! (This isn't a cape. It's just my coloring.)

*

No, this can't be happening! Not again! I can see this is going to be a fun place to live.

*

Everyone is going to love me, aren’t they?

Ringing In The New Year

So is that temporary or permanent? TBD.

Oh what fun it is to still/again have Bell’s Palsy! 

I talked to two doctors. The first thought that I may not have cleared the Lyme’s disease that originally caused the Bell’s Palsy and that I needed more antibiotics. The second thought that I already cleared Lyme’s but am having lingering neurological effects from it (and I could be this way forever.) My original doctor only gave me a two week supply of antibiotics whereas the usual treatment for neurological Lyme’s is three weeks. To make sure I don’t have bacteria lingering inside me they gave me another three week course of antibiotics. Yay. Now I get to have an upset stomach and a fuzzy head for the rest of January.

*

No I’m not mocking you. Why?

Baking

Are you baking? Yes I am! It smells like something delicious....is burning.

*

Oh no! My cake!

W Geordie lived with me, I didn’t need a timer. He always came to get me one minute before my food was done.

Don’t worry, my nose will wake me up at the right time.

After Three Days – Frankenpuppy Pupdate

This was my little Stinky Monster waiting for food when we got home from the vet. All he wanted was something to eat, but I wasn’t supposed to give him anything for three hours.

They were three very long hours.

There is still some dried blood on his fur, but for only three days, I think he is healing nicely.

Toby was only supposed to go outside to go to the bathroom for two weeks, but he is having none of that. He is insisting on several walks a day.

I’m happy we had a sunny day so he could watch some “Dog TV”.

For the first two days, my boy was cranky, but now he seems to be feeling better.* He has even been playing with his toys again. I am grateful for these good times and hope we work things out so we can have many more.

*Right after I wrote this, he attacked me again. Looks like we have a lot of work still in front of us.
