Baby Casey Update

Casey's Poppa sent this picture of her to our Momma. As you can see, Casey is doing a great job getting comfy on the sofa. We hear that she loves her little people siblings and is doing well. She's still having a little trouble with the potty thing, there's an accident every now and then, and she chews on stuff and mostly she likes to 'share' the little peoples' snacks with them.

She is loved, and we're sure she is giving lots of love, too.

Pooches Smooches,

Miss Casey

Pretty Casey at 5 1/2 months old.She's such a lover-girl.

She moves around too fast for the camera! Oops, just missed her!

Did we see this one already? Oh well, its a nice picture. She's sooo pwetty! Look at her coat shine. Her new family has taken excellent care of her.
Can you see Casey? She is trying to get her ball out of the chair. The little person who wants to be a doggie dentist is there in the room with her. Casey really loves her family, and they love her. At least we have 1 happy ending for Bella's babies!

Class, Yeah, we got Class!

Oh our dogness. Momma has decided that we are heathens. We don't know why she would think that. Could it be the trash episode. Could it be that everyone who comes over says ouch instead of hello (ouch because we jump up on them and our little toenails scratch their legs). Could it be because Bella jumps up on the kitchen table? Could it be because we dash past them when they're going up or down the stairs? We could go on, of course, but we haven't the time to list all of them.

Okay, so Momma is right. We're heathens.

Momma has always wanted to try those Agility games, but it hasn't worked out that she had the right dog.

I, Peaches, was supposed to be Momma's agility dog, but I really hate traveling in the car (it makes me toss my kibble), and I don't like heights or anything that isn't inside my backyard. Oh, how can I stand camping? Well, because I know our camper, and our patio mat, and lawn chairs, and the BBQ grill that all the great food comes off of. So its just like home.

I, Eddie, can't do it because I have a bad back. Can't do the jumping and stuff. Uh uh. No way!

So, Here comes Bella who likes to jump up on the kitchen table from the floor, (just like a cat) and isn't afraid of anything. Momma says she just lacks manners. Last night Bella had to go to her first doggie manners class. Haa haa! We'll let her tell ya.

Hi, Bella here. It was really cool. We met other dogs, big and little, hairy and not as hairy. No two alike. There was even a Joe Stains dog there! His name is Walter. He is pretty cool.

Everyone was so excited to meet everyone else. But then this lady and her way-too-calm lab mix started talking to our people and next thing you know, they're making us not jump up on them, and we had to walk without pulling on the leash, and we had to sit when they said so and we weren't allowed to run through the open doorway till they said we could! Hmmmph. When I did good, Momma gave me a treat. Mmmmm.

Momma says we have to practice a lot. So we practiced tonight when she got home from work. Surprises to Eddie & Peaches, too. She made them do the same things! Haa haa haa haa haa! I could hardly stop cracking up!

Enjoy your week!

Whoofs & Baroos to all,
Eddie, Peaches & Bella

Bella Sick after Surgery, 2 Puppies Come Back.

Sissie Bella got sick after her surgery. Her belly started oozing, and she felt hot if you touched her body. She was laying around and feeling sicko. She wasn't even interested in her food. Now, that's sick!

I, Peaches, tried to eat her breakfast the other day, but Momma yelled at me and shooed me away. Darn it. I just didn't want it to go to waste. See how responsible I am, Momma!



Momma called Bella's dogter that night and so she had to go see him the next morning. Daddy took her down there and she came back with a bottle of blue pills. Its a pretty good deal. Apparently, the pills have to be eaten with peanut butter. Daddy dips them in peanut butter and lets Bella eat them that way. If we act really cute, Daddy gives us a taste of peanut butter, too! Mmmmmm.This is Cass. She still needs to find a new home. I guess we haven't blogged on it yet, but Cass' first Momma just couldn't handle her. She has always adopted adult dogs from shelters and never had a crazy puppy. So, she brought her back to us and Momma is trying desperately to find her a new home. Some people have told Momma they are thinking about it, but so far, no one has adopted her. She's kind of like the Cinderella puppy. The last one to get invited to the dance. Poor girl. But we love her!

Baby Casey is visiting because we are puppysitting her while her family goes on a canoe trip. The girls are having fun wrasslin with each other again. They try to bother us when they get out of their pen to play, but we grrr at them and make them get away. We're tired of all that puppy nonsense! Hopefully soon we can be just us grown-up dogs and not have to worry about all these babies!

Fun 4th

Aunt Jan came over for lunch on Independence Day. She brought Sheridan's Frozen Yogurt to share with EVERYone. Even us 4-leggers. We love Aunt Jan! She's so considerate. She doesn't discriminate like some do just because we're vertically challenged, have trouble vocalizing the English language, and we walk on all fours. Did I mention, we looooove Aunt Jan? Well, we do.

Us dogs had to eat our frozen yogurt off dishes on the floor. The beloved puppies got theirs served in fancy desert dishes and got to stand ON THE TABLE (which, may I remind you, Bella got in big trouble for standing on the table... Hmmmph). So, we know where we all rank in the heierarchy of the pack as far as the humans are concerned. As long as you're cute and have no potty manners, balance, coordination or ability to guard the house, you rate higher. Once you become a contributing member of the pack, you are lowered to eat off the floor! Double Hmmmmph.

We are going to miss the little devils, though. We heard Mom say they're going to get shot Saturday. too bad. We'll miss them. Maybe that's why they spoiled them yesterday. Sort of like their last supper. Who knows. We are so confused. We also hear Mom and Dad talking about Casey's new family picking her up Saturday afternoon. Hmmm? I guess we will just have to wait and see.

We hope everyone had a very safe holiday and came out of it with their tail and all 4 paws in tact.
Have a fab day!
Eddie & Peaches

Camping Trip

We camped. It was like a dog park! Momma's brother and sister-in-law, Tim and Nancy were there with their two German Shepherds, Rance and Carley. Daddy's son, John was there with his Mom's new yellow lab puppy, Dino. There's a picture of me getting acquainted with him. And of course, me and Peaches were there. Such fun!

There's a picture of me looking through the window of the camper. That's when I got grounded for barking too much while the humans were grilling and trying to eat their supper. All I wanted was to help... them finish their meals. Rance and Carley headed back home Saturday morning. Saturday afternoon, the rest of us hounds went for a walk in the woods while Dad and John went out on a fishing boat. There's a picture of Peaches panting. It was really hot and humid and we all panted a lot.

Friday Peaches' belly got all bloated up like she had swallowed a whole cantaloupe. She was crying a lot. She almost got taken to the doggie E.R. She started having gas - ooh smelly gas, though and felt some better. On Saturday she had bad poopies all day, just like Joe Stains after he ate the hot dog (Check out Joe Stains dog blog. He's way cool.) By Sunday, she was her usual self.

We slept hard on the way home on our pink blankie in the back seat of the truck. Patrick rode there with us too in his travel cage. Momma says it was too hot for him to travel in the camper like he usually does.

See ya'll another time.
Love, Eddie

Goin Campin

Bella was so funny today. Momma has a tarp over the puppy pen to be sure they have plenty of shade (as if 2 giant maple trees aren't enough). Anyway, she had it pulled back for a while, and Bella climbed in for a nap. Like it was a doggie hammock! Hah. Everyone got a kick out of it. Why didn't we think of that, Peaches? Bella is so smart!

The house painting is almost finished! Momma says we get to go camping. Yippee! Mom and Dad took Bella and her babies over to Auntie Jan's tonight. Auntie Jan is going to puppysit them. We already miss them. I, Eddie, am their guardian Uncle and I worry that they'll be okay. Momma says that Auntie Jan has raised puppies before and she will take good care of them.

Lady has been slow lately and the heat might bother her, so she is going to stay at Grandmas while we're gone. Momma and Dad are worried that the heat will be too much for her since she's so old. So, it'll just be me, Eddie, and Peaches, and our green, feathered brother Patrick the screamer.

We will blog when we get back. Luv you all. Have a great rest-of-the-week.
