Hey guys and girls sorry I havent had a chance to blog this week so far (mommies been sick with a sinus thing). My week so far has gone really really good this weekend on the other hand was not so good... I got in MAJOR trouble with my papaw foxx this past sunday we were outside he was about to take us on a walk and I ran off to chase another doggy and well I wouldnt come back to him so when I got back he yelled and yelled and yelled at me I was sooo scared I peeed on myself but I deserved it I had mommy and gable and papaw soooo worried I was going to get by a car or worse, but I learned my lesson never to run off from momma and papaw and gable and even daddy .... but who would run away from my daddy I dont see him enough as it is so when I do see him I spend every minute with him!

I have noticed that SPRING IS HERE!!!! FINALLY after that last snow storm we got I think its finally decided to stay warm! YaY!! but you know what that means that means with spring and flowers and bunny wabbits showing up also means rain and my mommy doesnt like to take us outside to potty in the rain and we dont have a fenced in backyard so she has too! so that means shorter walkies ...... for me :-(

Typically I'm not a fan of deer. Well, it's not that I don't like deer-- all in all, they're pretty cute creatures. I'm not a big fan of deer ticks. I don't want to see one, hear one, or have one anywhere near me. They're disgusting, vile, and... uggggghhhh!

Hmmmmmm, you will just have to click the pic to find out the rest of the story. Got Puggle?

Another Puggle makes it on TV! Watch Here.

Funny thing, the puggle's sister is actually the naughty dog. The puggle is so calm. Are the puggles on the west coast better behaved or something? Is it the sun? That nose harness looks interesting though. Have any puggle posse people used it on their puggle? Any luck? Do tell. :)

Mommy hopes this video will encourage anyone who has a hard time trimming their dog’s nails to keep trying eventhough it might seem like an impossible task.
Preston used to be terrified of nail trimming. Visits to the groomer were quite traumatizing for him. Mommy tried Peticure® but Preston ran away on the buzzing sound of the electric filer. Nail trimming was such a dreadful activity for both Mommy and Preston. For more than two years, Mommy had given up on trimming Preston’s nails. Luckily, his active lifestyle kept his nails naturally short. His dew claws were removed by the breeder so Mommy never has to worry about them.
This past winter was Preston’s first winter living in a place where there was a lot of snow. The de-icers on the ground made it hard to go for long walks. Running in the snow or grassy parks was just not enough to wear down his nails. Nail trimming became necessary again and Mommy wasn’t looking forward to doing it at all.
To Mommy’s surprise, nail clipping was so much easier this time around. Preston has become quite comfortable with his pawdicure, sometimes, he even falls alseep in the midst of it.

Preston’s pawdicure kit:

How does Preston learn to enjoy the nail clipping?
1. Growing up Preston is used to having his paws handled. Mommy likes holding his paws and wiggling his toes when cuddling.
2. Preston got two cheerios and a big praise if he let Mommy touch his toes with a nail clipper (without clipping). Repeat this many many times.
3. Then, move on to real clipping, Preston got two cheerios for each snap sound the clipper makes.

And many many cheerios later…

Last night at agility class, a vet, who is a fellow agility student was
telling us about a case she had this week. The dog ate a child's teddy bear
and was very sick. When she opened the dog up to remove what she thought was
an intestinal obstruction she found a huge gelatin type mess inside and the
dogs intestines were black and the tissue dead. The dog will die - no surgery
can fix him up - there was no living intestine left from stomach to colon.

This was not an obstruction..... so she called the manufacturer of the Teddy
Bear on a quest to find out what the gel was and what killed the dog. Turns
out the stuffing in children's toys contains ingredients for flame
retardants and mite control! It is designed to be come a gel. It is highly
toxic. Now you would think a child's toy would be safe because it is for
children, but they don't expect a child to eat the stuffing of the toys...
huummmm that seems a bit scary too. But we all know dogs demolish stuffed
toys.

So do not give or buy your dog any children's stuffed animals... some people
get them at goodwill etc. The vet will be posting a warning and story and I
will send any other facts as needed and as I learn more. Maybe some
children's toys do not have this ingredient, but better to be safe then
sorry. So meanwhile, make sure all your dog toys are for dogs. Please pass
this on... it is a horrible death she described and one that can be avoided.

So please, please, please - Keep the hooman stuffies away from us doggies!

"Dad, throw the stick!"
