OMGosh, Silly, Bubba is hysterical!! What attitude with a CAPITAL A! :-) He's too funny! Pics one and two look like he's wondering 'why' you're bothering him! Love them!:-)

We finally got Cami up the stairs this morning. It took about 40 minutes. She'd take one stair, go back down and start over. not always adding the nest stair. She made it to the landing and wouldn't budge up that set for a very long time. She did take a tumble down them right after we first got her. She wasn't hurt, but her pride was a bit bruised. Ollie, actually, helped her get up the last bit. <shock> He kept going down to the landing, giving her lick on the nose and going back up. He'd sit at the top and watch her as I cajoled her. Finally, she seemed to 'get it' and took all 8 stairs, very slowly, at once. She's still not eating like she used too, but we're hoping this will be better soon, also. Everyday she's gaining more confidence in what she can take on and she is SO PROUD of herself when she accomplishes a task. :-)

Kstme: good to hear that Cami is coming out of the shell she came back to you in!

Speaking of stairs, my puppies experienced their first set of more than 2 or 3 stairs this weekend at Grandma's house. DH and I slept upstairs and so the dogs had to go with us. The first night, I had to push Mocha up and then literally move sandy's legs to walk her up. They did a little better on Thursday night. Then last night, I put sandy up the stairs right away, she went right up then before I got Mocha to the stairs, she came back down.. Then they both went right up. But of course, once I had them in the room, DH went downstairs and they followed. LOL.

Then, this morning, Sandy just went up and down and up and down and up and down. She was so proud of herself for being able to navigate them.. LOL She had too much fun.


The car ride to Nebraska was umm.. interesting. We let the dogs have some water halfway there. Well, that was a mistake. Mocha was too greedy with the water and not too much later, she puked. Holy cow did she puke.. It was so gross.. I couldn't tell you what she had eaten there were so many different chunks. ANywho.. Sandy had bolted across the seat and was cowering away from Mocha's puke. She cowered every time the car moved from then on. I th ink she was afraid of getting puked on. She actually finally settled down the last part of today's trip home.. So, who gets to clean up while DH holds the dogs out of the car? ME!! LOL Once we got to Beatrice, we went straight to walmart for upholstery cleaner. They didn't get much water or food before we left this morning. Thankfully, no puking. They just decided to bark at the drive through people at McDonalds and at the turnpike.. LOL

Saxy, rule #1...Don't feed dog (ever) before a road trip. Been there, done that, don't ever want to do it again. They seem to throw up everything they've eaten in the past week.

Welcome Reg'ee! It's good to see you here and in the robe thread!

Kst - So glad you got Cami back and she's getting back to her old self! Now I'm worried about Norman!! I hope to hear all is settled with him, too. I just LOVED the pictures you posted of him!

Silly - Bubba's a riot! I just love when animals do their "people thing!" I've had more of those things happen with kitties - don't all cats think they're human or better? LOL We had a grey tabby that tried out ALL of the baby things we got before the first baby was born. She LOVED being pushed around the living room in the stroller and seeing her SIT in the swing with her tail sticking out one leg was just too funny! Fortunately, she didn't mind when the baby came or try to steal them from her! She would lay guard under her bassinet, tho! Unfortunately, she got a bit over-whelmed and nasty when 2nd kiddo came along and started attacking people. It was so sad when we had to give her away, and believe me, it was a hard thing to do and we gave her LOTS of time and chances, more than most people would have, but it came down to the kids' safety - she would attack unprovoked. :-(

At Thanksgiving we had to take a picture of our now kitty Misha sitting in a chair at the table after dinner, intently watching my dad as he was talking. She was so funny. She's often done that.. we're sitting there and she jumps up in a chair and her little head is at table height looking like she's waiting for her plate!

Kellie had trouble with the stairs when we first got her, too. She was a stray and obviously had never been up or down them! Down was much harder for her than up as far as a full flight went. I had to carry her down the stairs and then she would come back up with coaxing. It didn't take her long before she was a pro w/them. Now we block the doorway when we're not watching to keep her from the stairs after her neurological spell a few mo. ago. She also has this "thing" for kitty poop and manages to push things out of the way to get to it.....ewwwwww! DD let something slip at Thanksgiving dinner that she wasn't supposed to in a joking manner so I got her back last night. She comes in and Kellie is all over her and finally she's licking her face. I just couldn't help but say, "She eats her poop!" LOL I notice she does that if she's had food other than her reg. dog food, people or kitty food. When DD sarcastically said thanks, I told her I owed her one! ROFL!

Saxy, We've also been there, done that and I don't envy the clean up, at all!! I'm glad everyone is home, safe and sound!! :-)

Watching2, try putting a very small amount of Adolph's Seasoning over the cat's food. That 'could' help with the poop eating problem. Cami used to eat the others and I gagged! lol Another Sussex breeder told me about this trick and it works for Cami! I put a few sprinkles on all their food! Oh, I'll bet Misha was absolutely adorable! :-)

Cams has been running the show here, today! LOL It was grooming day so they all had their baths. She wasn't too happy about it, but afterwards she played so hard with Oliver and Maggie that she's completely pooped out now! She was hauling Ollie around by ear and he didn't even mind! :-) She used to do that to him all the time, so she is getting back to where she was. She's finally eating, too! The dog door is being conquered slowly...she wants to be the first one through...don't blame her for that! Oliver likes to tear through it and stop so the door comes back and hits the next in line in the face! What a boy???:-)

As far as getting Norm back. We can't do anything until the papers from the AKC arrive. Right now, I know he's fine...he's the Indy breeder's Rock Star and she's going to make sure he has plenty of interaction with both people and other dogs. She wants to parade the 'English Import' in his best light!

Oh....they're so CUTE, SuperG!!!!!! It's so funny how almost all dogs look the same when they're first born and then change so much, but I have to say, those Frenchies are showing their wrinkles right off!!! Too cute!!!

Kstme - I'm not so sure about Misha liking the Adolph's. This cat is a trip! She is the messiest eater I've EVER had. She leaves all these little pieces when she chews her dry food and then she doesn't want to eat them and stands there wailing for food to be put in her dish! Although she did appear to eat some after we were remiss in refilling her bowl today. Kellie loves that she's a messy eater since the food is on a table above her bed and she gets the little pieces down below often!

So good to hear Cami is perking up!! :-)

Harvey's a messy eater though he does it intentionally. He grabs a mouthful of food out of his dish then wanders somewhere else in the house, drops it and picks at it. I find his food everywhere! If he was going to just one room, I'd move his food dish, but he doesn't. Today I found food in the livin room, in the laundry room, and in Dakota's room! Never said he was normal.

Kst, I'm glad to hear Cami is getting back to her old self again!

Silly, Bubba is adorable.. what EYES..

There was a young woman at the airport with a little dog in a carrier/purse.. so well behaved! And as luck would have it she was in the aisle seat of my row. I was on the window. Someone else in between. That little one was so good on the flight.. not a peep out of her. A Shih Tzu.

Lola's looking GOOD, Jbeany!!

Saxy, well you learned about not feeding/watering them before a trip!!

Supergranny, those pics are wonderful! What adorable little pups! AAAAAHHHHH!! You just want to snuggle them, don't you?:-)

Jbean, she's looking VERY posh!:-)

War, maybe this is Harvey's idea of 'eating out?' LOL

Kstme, I am sitting here home alone with the girls while DH is on his way to Hawaii. But when I read about how traumatized Cami was from her trip away from home...I made the right choice.

Jbean, how much does Ms. Lola weigh now? She is adorable in that sweater. I bought Gracie one almost identical but with snowflake trim and she hates it and wants to chew on the legs.

I did learn my lesson about watering during the trip. The pups had breakfast Wednesday morning and we didn't leave til 5 pm. I just think that the water we gave halfway through the trip was the problem.

ADORABLE puppies, SG. And Kst, good to hear more about cami.. What about some pics soon? :-)

thanks for the compliments on lola. she's laying here asleep on my lap right now. lol. i took off her collar last night when i was TRYING to sleep, because she jingles it too much and wakes me up. she looks nekkid without it on to me. lol.

beach, the last time we went to the vet she weighed 4 and a quarter lbs. but she had been sick and throwing up then, and had lost a quarter of a pound, so i'm guessing she's back up to 4 and a half now, and will probably stay there, i'd imagine. i measured her and she is about 15 inches long laying down. how big is your gracie? and how old? lola will be a year old on january 7th.

eta: kstme, they're so cute. they look well-behaved.

JBeanie - That is SOME stylin' doggie you have there! LOL She's adorable!

Love, love, LOVE the pics Kstme! They're such beautiful dogs!!

And I raise my hand as a person who won't leave the dog either unless family or friend could watch her! She would stay w/my parents when they were still able to get up and let her out. It's too much for them now. Then I had my DDs ex BF come and stay at our house when we were away. Kellie LOVED him and always went crazy when he came over so I felt good about leaving her w/him. Now.. I don't think there's anyone anymore. Gosh, my DD knew I was late to my nephew's "home on R&R leave from Iraq party" because of Kellie and her neurological spell! I was really relieved when the DD & DS wanted to come home early so they could check on her and we could relax a bit and visit with family!

We just had a cold spell hit here. 32 when I got up, I checked and it is 82 in Hawaii! But when I see how the girls are worrying about where "Dad" is I can imagine how they would have worried with a stranger. Lucee keeps going to the basement door and whining. I open it up so she can go hunt for him and then an hour later it's the same thing. I hope this gets old.

Just checked out the frenchie puppy page and today he has picture of them standing on all fours..so fat and wrinkly. I want another puppy!!
