Spaniel brain sets in
A Happy Easter to all. We dodged a bullet with the tornadoes on Friday, as Murfreesboro is 25 miles due east of us. Our own tornado sirens were screaming for a couple hours and I was glued to the TV watching the storm radar, ready to bolt to the basement if necessary, with dog on leash, cellphone, wallet & keys in pockets.
Our little Sophie is now 20 weeks old and growing like a weed. She gained three pounds, in four weeks. (did I mention she loves her food? LOL) Her 'spaniel brain' software has finally been uploaded and installed. She now is quite distracted by every bird she sees, whether in the air or on the ground. I doubt this breed was ever used for serious hunting but it is in her blood, so there it is. She also goes mad sniffing the ground and driveway, tracking whichever critter has been walking about on our property. ;-) Her worst offense - bird poo. 'nuff said.
I'll try to include a photo here but who knows if it will upload? ...
Sophie will get spayed in another four weeks so that she will not succumb to wanton ways. She's really a bright dog and has learned several commands already. DH and I are enjoying her very much, she knows her job description and performs it well: lap dog. She loves her big walks -- we'll go one or 1 1/2 miles, at least once a day. The pollen has made me sick, so she is learning to walk on the treadmill. Actually she is doing quite well with it, too. Twenty minutes on that wears her out because she has to concentrate.
Fran in Sth Aust – Isn’t it odd how plants considered garden variety in one region are looked upon as weeds in another? Some people actually plant SpiderWort, while I can’t get rid of the !@#$! Stuff in my yard.
Laura in AL – what a beautiful dogwood tree!! Thank you for sharing that.
Sara in FL – well finally a diagnosis! But mono, who would have ever thought!?!? At least now your DH can get the right meds. It’s a miracle that jaundice and/or hepatitis had not set in after so long with no diagnosis.
Jane in NC – aren’t health insurance and bills a complete puzzle? I love the $200-$300 pillow charge for the hospital bed and always ask if I may bring my own from home. Ha!
Jill – Your Dyna probably has some sort of age-related dementia or behavior issue about that couch. LOL but in a kind way, because our Alex acted very asocial and odd with his age-related dementia that set in when he was 12 or 13 years old.
