The Dog Report: May 28

The Dog Report

Duchess: That little rat continues to try and steal "MY" attention, "MY" food, and "MY" bed.   Why did they bring him to live with us?  He annoys me.
OK, he's not all bad.  He's fun to wrestle with. One of the only few who like to play like I like to play.  It's pretty cool.
I am however making sure I secure my spot in bed.  I'm so sweet and cuddly at night.   I take the premium spots and he has to work to get in a cuddle.   he he.
ZZZZZZ

Something is going on. Daddy has been walking us everyday after work for weeks.  We haven't walked in days.  We haven't been to the park in days......why??  Then again it's like really super hot here.   I go outside and run and run and run around and then poof! I have to lay down.  I can't do anymore.

So, I had this awesome bed that I liked to lay on. No one could reach me, well until Peryn began to jump and make it.  It was really high and comfy. Then one day they came and took my bed!   They being those people who come with the guy that looks and smells like Daddy and those kids and OH! That nice Stacey that is nice to me.      But they TOOK MY BED.

Mommy got another that wasn't the same, but I can adapt.   THe thing that sucked is it was shorter and so HE has no problems getting on it. Athena can jump on it too.  sigh.
THEN Mommy moved it.  She had to move it and now .....oh my world is falling apart.

It's right by the windows.  So yay-I get to lay and look out. BUT  and it's a big one.  HE is always on it too AND Athena jumps on it all the time to get to her bed at the other window.   SIgh.    I miss having my own stuff.


Athena: Daddee loves me! He was home yesterday and we sat and cuddled and it was really awesome.  I love my Daddee.   My baby brother is fun to play with but he won't leave me alone on the stairs. I go up the stairs and he has to chew on me. I go down the stairs and he chews on me.   I can't play on the stairs!!
The weather has been awesome. It's that weather where I can sit outside in the shade all day and just watch.  There is so much happening out there.  There are animals I need to chase and there is noises from the back part that I need to bark at.  Oh!  And there is machine things on the other side of the grass and trees...and people.. I mean there is so much for me to watch!!!
The bed

I feel bad that I haven't played with MC & Bridger for a long while but Peryn just takes up so much of my play time.     A few times recently we went to the park and Peryn and I had so much fun running around the grassy field.  It so cool.   Sometimes all 3 of us run together.  It is really cool.  
Daddee was walking us a lot but hasn't the past few days. It's ok, I think my Daddee is tired and needs his rest.   I want my Daddy safe and healthy.   I can live without a few days walk.  

Mommy moved the bed that was Duchess'  Now I can choose to lay on it or my other bed.   It does make it difficult to get to my spot, but at least I have choices.

Ok, let me be honest....Peryn is a cool kid.   I don't like when he makes Mommy or Daddee mad---and they call his name ALL the time.   He made Mommy REALLY mad when she discovered he'd been eating on the bed. The corners are chewed up ..she was not happy.  But Mommy doesn't yell at him ....only when she catches him. She told Daddee there was no point since he did it and they didn't catch him.

 

Peryn:   Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi.    Who are you? Where are you at?  Can I kiss you...oh....squirrel!   no really...I have a bunch of them. They are all these little squeakie things that goes in this tree trunk thingy.  OOh my wood thing.    Mommy said it was a hanger or soemthing at one time but I call it my Wood thing.    Did you know I'm getting bigger?   I'm going to be THIS MANY ....oh you can't see that?? sorry.....Mommy said I am going to be a 5 month old big boy!   SOoo cool.

Me and one of my squirrels!

So I'm s'posed to tell you about things I like.   I like ....lots of stuff.   Let's see I like to play with the things that hold our food and water.  When they're empty, they look all lonely so I take them with me and we play around . I like the things mommy moves across the floor.....I love to jump on them. I like anything I find really. If it's on the floor, I play with it.     OH! I love to play fetch......love love love it.   Only inside of course.  At the park or outside...too much other cool stuff to do.  I like the doggies next door.. I like humans.   I like....Mommy. I really really like my mommy. She lets me play on her and land on her and jump on her and lay on her.  She's just the bestest thing in the world. Daddee is awesome too. He takes me on these really cool walks.  I never walk with the sisters which makes me sad...but I do get to go with Daddy around our house area.  

I like the wet dirty stuff-mom calls it mud- that I find at the park. Did you know you can dive into it?
HI!!

Uhm. I really really like people and dogs and treats and bottles and squeakies and beds and furniture and shoes.....love shoes.     I like lots. I like Mrs Lissette and Daniel and Master Chief.   I see them lots. I also like Bridger too.   I don't get to play so much with him since he's further down and I can't reach him.   Let's see ......Well............oh look! String!!

Mommy's Turn:

Things are going well. Peryn is growing so big.  He's about 32 lbs of fur.  His nails were Ninja like knives (we call him a Ninja) and he was marking me up pretty badly.  The number of large scratches and times he's drawn blood were getting ridiculous.  We had them trimmed and he's now just bearable.  He really does like to be around me. He uses me as a launch pad, landing pad, wrestling mat and his favorite thing to do is climb all over me when I'm in bed.
Mommy! Get up!

Oh HI there!!
And I mean he gets on top of me and walks across me.
A few times he's even lept off the chair arm and landed hard on me.   NOT FUN!  I'm posting a pic of what he did to me the other morning that we were able to catch on camera. Mind you this is a regular thing.
This morning he nearly choked me when he chose to lie across my throat.

He's been cleared for dog Park play.  We took him twice to the local park to get him used to playing with other dogs.   It was a let down as none of the dogs really liked to play.  Tomorrow however is a Husky meet. The first one we can attend since adopting the kid.   It's at their favorite pakr (the one we've gone to many times because usually no one is there).  So that will help him with his comfort.  This is is first foray into some REAL dog play.  

Depending on the dogs he meets he'll either dive right in to running and wrestling or he'll get all nervous and try to hide from them.   I'm not too worried, his big sisters are good at keeping an eye on him.

Tell you more about it later....
Taking a break

Love this place

Mud. Mud. Mud.

Happy Mother's Day

Duchess
HEY!!  Happy Mother's Day!

Puppy's are doing well.  

Athena went for her annual and is doing well.   She's happy and healthy and loves her little brother.

Duchess has been good, but seems to be a bit off today.   She is loving the fact that her baby brother is growing.  Their play has become increasingly more physical and anyone watching better stay out of the way.

Peryn is growing like a weed.   He is about 30 lbs and just loves life.  We've also discovered he loves mud puddles.  At the dog park the past two weeks he's found mud puddles and loves to roll in them.

With Daddy.
He can hold his business overnight and all day when in the crate.  However, we're still working on the letting us know when he needs to go out and he gets the excited "leaks".

He's officially over 4 months.   He's a handful, that's for sure.   Daddy has taken to walking the kids after getting home for work. Peryn gets the longer walk.
It was great at first, he'd come home pooped.   Well, now it's barely having an impact.   If he doesn't get a walk, he's a monster at night. Playing in the bedroom and walking all over his Mommy.    Not fun for Mom at all.


I'm tooo tired.
 He definitely loves his sisters. He loves Athena quite a bit. He irritates her at times, but she allows it. They are pretty sweet together.  At the dog park, Athena likes to keep an eye on him and they tend to run the park together.

However, when it comes to naps and bed time, Duchess is his go-to girl. They tend to nap near one another.
The girls may act annoyed by him, but they do keep an eye out for their brother.
