Hot Spots

I took the girls to the spa Friday! I had her cut them very short for the lake & the heat.
Zoie was scooting her butt after I got her home.
She was cut too short on her pee pee area & over the weekend it turned red, angry & raw.
She was so uncomfortable.
I'm applying peroxide & neosporin. It is looking much better although missy is milking it. She is still hunkered down half the time looking up at us with sad eyes.
I think the new hairs growing in must really feel funny.

Unexpected Danger to Doggies

Please be aware of any blankets you may have with fringes on them!!!!!
I woke this morning like every other, I let the dogs out of their cages & stumbled down stairs.
After a few minutes I realized Bella did not come down, at the same moment I hear a cry from upstairs.
I ran up to discover Bella sitting in front of her cage, I noticed her blanket with her. She was crying.
I picked her up & her blanket came with her. Her foot was wrapped tight in one of the blankets fringes.
I yelled for Hubby to get the scissors & it took a bit to get her cut out of the mess.
She seems fine but what a scare.
Now I don't think ordinary dogs are at that much risk of this. I think Bella's tendency of turning nervous circles, excited circles, circles.......You get the picture. I know that is how she got tangled.
I got them new blankets today without fringes!

Poor Bella

The drama never ends with this poor broken dog.
I was really tired of bathing a dog & cleaning poop every night.
So I got a fancy dog house & it has been nice enough to leave her outside.
Last week went awesome! I was much happier that is for sure & I thought that Bella was digging the new routine.
Tonight I come home to a dog with four bloody paws. She paced all day. She walked in endless circles so much so that her paws are raw & bleeding.
WTH am I gonna do with this poor thing?
I've got a vet appointment, I'm hoping that he will give her some anti-anxiety medication.
In the interim I'm putting gauze & baby socks on her feet to try to keep the sores clean.

Can Dogs Contemplate Murder?

Last night we found Zoie with her teeth around Bella's collar & she was shaking it (& Bella) for all she was worth.
Bella just took it & just sat calmly. As I reached for her collar to straighten it up I found I could not get my finger between it & her neck.
Holy shit! Zoie just tried to kill Bella!
Now that Zoie knows how to strangle her sister.....Will she try again?

This would make a good Stephen King story.

Our Rescue Dog

I'd like to introduce to you all the new edition to our family.
Ta Da! Here's Bella!

Bella is a puppy mill survivor. This means that she has spent her one & a half years in cage. She may have even had a litter of puppies


I had to give her a bath straight off. She had crap caked on her huge paws.

She is all legs this one She is timid. She has played well with Zoie. Although she niped at Zoie for not much while she was trying to sleep. (A bit like me there LOL)
They say she is a Yorkshire Terrier but I think she's mixed with Doberman or Schnauzer.
More pictures!


Bella is skin & bones. I hope to fatten her up. I hope to get her to trust & love.
I found Bella through a search on the internet. There are plenty more where Bella came from. If anyone can open their hearts & home please do.
I was turned down last year & was not expecting to get approved. I was pleasantly surprised!

Ticks!

I Went for a walk/run with Zoie tonight.
I pulled eight YES EIGHT ticks off her. It was so creepy that I washed her & every blanket she comes in contact with. *shiver*
Needless to say I put her tick collar back on.

No Wonder I hate ticks...they are an Arachnid, as in Spiderish. EWWWWW!!!!

I think she got them in the grassy field we cut across.

Zoie had to go to the Dogter.

She got a rabies shot! (Giggle @ Scott, Maybe you shoulda got one)



Zoie was the life of the party at the vet's office. She smiled at the receptionist & the lady said she had never seen a dog do that......I find this odd, I thought all dogs smiled?

When we got home Zoie & I went for a walk to Donna's to play with Hattie. Zoie loves Hattie & they are BFF's LOL!

Auntie Donna & Uncle Will are pretty sweet also.

Wonderful Tuesday....Zoie graduated & much more.

When I walked in the house after work I knew that they had finished the walls. Nothing will give you a headache like polyurethane! They got three walls finished. So I'll have to sniff fumes for a few days at least.








Zoie graduated from obedience school. She still needs much work. (Like maybe not peeing on my floors anymore!)
She is much better behaved since we started class though.









Upon leaving class we were greeted with this sunset. It was so beautiful it broke my heart.

More pictures!

Zoie's daddy fetish....

Zoie enjoys chewing on her daddy. Check out how much she likes this & why she is called Chompers!

Zoie & Toys

Yes Zoie has a toy box. Said Toy box is full to the brim with toys. Tonight Zoie thought it would be very funny to get almost every single toy out. (No she does not put her toys away) It is too funny to watch her dragging things out of the hole in the toy box. My house looks like a hurricane went through when she has all the toys out.
More pictures of Zoie

Zoie had a bad day.

Miss Zoie (AKA...Chompers) had her getting fixed surgery yesterday. She came home today & the poor poor dear. She is slow & sore. she is looking at me with those what the hell did you do to me eyes? I have to keep her calm for the next ten days. Holy Crap! Today is easy because she is still groggy but egad.
I love my Zoie. She & I butt heads & I complain about her plenty. She & I are too much alike in personality. She is my one constant. She loves me NO MATTER WHAT. She makes me laugh even when the dark foul moods take over my soul. She helps to keep me here, helps to keep me real!
I would have taken some video of her misery today, but it just broke my heart. So I posted funny video with my crappy voice LOL:)
