In your dreams...

The other day Marcella was dreaming about being a GSD... since she didn't get to meet Ontario she didn't realize that GSD's don't look like this:





I don't know how we got it to stand up-- but it was like that for like 10 minutes.

The other day I came upstairs after a pre-church nap and I see my big guy like this:

No, he is *not* allowed on the couch- but he thinks it's okay if we are not home. It's hillarious because when he hears the garage door open he will usually jump down and act like nothing happened (yeah, the big imprint on the couch with yellow hair was already there-- uh huh) Think he's spoiled?-- yes we do!

Silver Lining

Okay so the one good thing about Marcie leaving is I can clean my room and it should stay clean. Vinnie doesn't really like my room because it has wood floors (and heaven forbid he sleep on HARD floors!!) and he doesn't like my bed- it's too tall. Anyway I was looking at signs of Marcella the other day and noticing the nose prints on the windows in my car, and the black hair pushed up agaist the wall (I PROMISE I just swept!) and of course who could miss her stinky crate-- and I realized I can't wait to clean my room. It sounds really sad but it's true. It's mostly because she's in season I haven't cleaned the crate since last week- it's just going to get dirty again. And she sheds like mad when she's in heat so I might as well just get it all at the same time. -- the nose prints? well... I need those to miss her with for a couple of days after she goes... sigh... we're back to the sadness.

New Puppies...

So thinking about Marcella leaving and how I'm not getting a new puppy kind of makes me more sad about her leaving than usual. I know it's for the bestm but at the same time I really want to just email Guide Dogs and have them put a starter pup on the truck for me... Must resist though. It's really hard with 6 wonderful pups like this:

Vinnie---- Judith and Novak

Cessna

Maryjo---- Marcella

Vinnie, Cessna and Novak---- my Handsome boy in the bath, I want another one just like him

Picking up Marcella (a little happy am I? It was super windy too)

I am going to miss it...

She's baaack :)

Marcella says thanks for all the puppy kisses and tail wags- she is feeling much better and is enjoying her last week as a PIT as normal Marcella :) Now of only she could get over this heat thing...

BTW Happy 100th Post to this blog!!

Grey's Anatomy--- Guide Dog Style

Today Marcella woke up and didn't want to get out of her crate, very unusual since she had been in her crate since 8 pm the night before. She had woken up twice during the night, which is quite normal for her when she is in heat to have diarreah, but she didn't have any problems. Finally when she got out- I noticed she was limping quite obviously on her back legs, she had a hard time getting up the stairs and was having a hard time moving. I called my leader and told her since We were both headed to a leader meeting with our CFR so I thought I could just get approval for for her to get to the vet while I was there. Well after much work and many phone calls we got ahold of my vet on his cell phone. Poor Marce has a pinched nerve! How sad is it that my work sent me home to "Care for my sick daughter" I was losing it every 10 minutes and everytime my mom would call me with an update. A trip to the vet and 2 shots later Marce is still down for at least 48 hours and it's not hard to keep her down. She is normally a very bouncy puppy but she has been in the same position all day. Wish me luck trying to get this one to walk to get some circulation going in her hind end, per vet reccomendations. :S
