What did your pet(s) do today?

She knows that her giving him the unhealthy stuff drives me nuts, but she thinks she is "just being a grandmother".

Fortunately, he doesn't stay with her super often.

I share mostly meat with my dogs. The only health food they will accept is watermelon. Everything else they will sit on the floor and look at me like I am crazy lol.

Tonight all is quiet. The kitties are taking turns in my lap.
Cuddle time.

Oliver has been a little lethargic today and is stumbling around like a drunken sailor because of the meds the vet gave him last night.

Get them some of those small carrots. My dog loves all fruits and vegetables. Maybe you just have to start with something and go from there.

His dog food is 95% meat, no grains.

Little puppy seems to be trying to bite his foot off of his body. I guess it's time for a good soak for him

Oliver must be super sensitive today. He's hiding on my bed and only came out for food and a welcome home pet fest.

As far as I see the older kitty brought the big toy to the front door in the hopes that I would come home early. Now that I am home they are running, jumping, and playing to impress me. I am loved.

I'm a little concerned about your household.

Your dogs won't eat vegetables or fruits and you have a dog who is chomping on his own foot.

I think you should send me your animals. Unless you have cats. Then just send me the dogs.

Lol take them! 2 shih tzus. They require you to spend all of your waking hours serving them, they own your legs as pillows, and you will never get mail service again after they chase the postworker away. But they are cute.

The reason he was biting his foot was allergies apparently so I gave him his meds.

Love Shih Tzus. Years and years ago, mine took on a Mastiff mix that was trying to get under our gate to eat her and her 15 lb miniature Irish Setter brother. He stuck his muzzle under the gate and she scratched every bit of him that showed through. Wound up with a police record in that city (The officers that answered the other owner's call had to by law and they had to take a picture of the 'offending' pet so the officer opened his hand and my dog sat there in her diaper on his palm with a jingly cat toy in her mouth.). It was a story that made the rounds in the police department. It's not every day a 6lb dog goes up against a 75lb dog and wins. It's not every day that the person who complains gets fined by the department for not fixing their fence and, thus, allowing Ginormirex out to terrorize the neighborhood.

Shih Tzu means lion-hearted or lion dog. Emperors used to conceal them in the giant sleeves of their robes for a final line of defense if attacked. They are super smart. Of course, they are stubborn as all get out too. She was difficult to potty train so we used preemie diapers with a hole cut out for her tail and a denim Velcro 'pant' over that. When she was trained, we took them off. She'd had them on so long that she was bowlegged from them. Even funnier than watching her walk around was that she refused to go outside until she had her pants back on so we put them back on, minus the diaper.

She wanted everyone to know she wore the pants in the family.



Today, Oliver decided to not run out of the bedroom as soon as we got up. He was hungry but he knows that right after breakfast comes medicine so he didn't want that and actually fought me a bit today when I applied his drops. He might be a bit under the weather. Normally, he moves around a lot at night but he stayed for hours in the same spot against my hip and back.

Tiny Dog finally took an interest today in the bone that she got for Christmas. She had completely ignored it ever since she got it, until today. Then somehow, she managed to break it completely in half lengthwise. We're talking about a seriously large bone here, probably the leg bone of a cow, quite thick, and too heavy for her to pick up with her mouth (or at least, she never tried to). So no more bone for Tiny Dog! That one has to go in the trash. She had already chipped off tiny pieces of it by the time I got to it, and I don't want her to have those. I will be keeping an extra close eye on her poop for several days. (Thanks a lot, Tiny Dog.) After a few days, she can have a bully instead.

Gemme, I loved your little shih tzus story (minus the bow legged part... that made me sad), but I of course focused in on Oliver...

Isn't there an end point to these drops?
