puppy progress
olive went home for "supper"--- minus pups ---with pc last night- i expected her to be thrilled to see her pups on returning.... i can not say she was thrilled.
that means--- if their feeding is falling to us-- we have to pay better attention---
--i have not seen them all drink water- so this morning we did a goats milk in a dish for lapping practice-- and taupe is an ineffective lapper---- along with a slow eater--- so attention is needed there ( the dark merle-- also now the smallest) the rest are shameless gluttons.
*************
maybe today k3 could weigh them all on lori's wonderful scale.
**********************
pc noted lori-- a regular--- is among the missing in the past few days..
lori--you all right??
that is one of those questions--- if she is not all right she is not going to answer..
hmmmm
husband off to denmark and a few house invasions in boxford so we need an answer to that somehow
stranger things have happened...
**********************
bud2--- with indy-- doin great--
he is a library go-er--- so we did library and barnes and noble ( which had a starbucks)
and he took tom and i to dinner at the chinese restaurant.-indy was nearly perfect
paul sat the pups--
my other option was to put chaos in the back room for the short time we would be gone....
********************
they are getting older-they are belly off the floor- today-- and wandering far away(2 feet?) from the puppy pile- or mommy- to pee
************
olive's bunch have that nearly down pat... nearly.... they walk over their fluffy to the newspapers and stop immediately to pee. which means the boys are within fractions of an inch correct-- but the girl's anatomy is such that the pee does not make the paper ... yet.

and we have manny
and bernard
and the search for the proper winter person mover
Manny took us shopping so we could offload my Toy car for a proper winter person mover...last winter was brutal and with two cars meant for Florida weather we had a bad time of it. We sat in the dealership becoming frustrated by the dance we all have to go through. The only relief was provided by Manny who was having a not so good day.He was himself with all the people who came up to and this may account for him being a little wayward in the down stay mode.
The salesman was truly a very pleasant person who seemed not to mind Manny putting his nose on his desk to rest (You know I am referring to Manny's nose on the salesman's desk).
It took two days in total and although I have read Haileys "Wheels" and have hired ex car salesmen I found a modified dodge being used.It is the sale old dodge as the salesman being terrified of the sales manager and having to check every detail if money is involved. We genuinely like the guy and burst out laughing when he introduced us to the manager and confessed they were brothers!
From a place far far away...Sicily...they actually were lovely people.
Manny has developed an instinct about when some walking help would be appreciated and appears without calling , he always appears on my right I realise it is my job to train him to go to mt left or do you think I should adapt? His instincts seem so ready I don't want to spoil his instinct
i definitely would go with the instinct-- people would pay good money for that and i do not know how you teach a dog "anticipation".
maybe he is also telling you you need more help on the right...????
at any rate 6 months from now- you could address the right left problem

Hey Carlene,
I'm a little worried about Kate. She has been scratching at her right shoulder for a few weeks now. Ihad been looking for dry skin, gave her a bath, checked for ticks, etc. I have now decided I think it is joint pain. She only scratches at it when she is walking, she never sits down to scratch like a dog with a regular itch. The odd thing is that she does it way more when I am walking her to go to the bathroom as opposed to very rarely when she's working. Ideas?
-Jade
a weird one i suggested the harness might be the difference
i did not think joint pain--- because pain=limp.... not scratch???
