Little Man

How could you not fall in love with this face?

Milk - It Does a Doggie Good

I love milk. I have a medium to large glass of milk every night. Well, Nash is always curious about my milk, so one night hubby stuck his finger in my glass and gave Nash a taste. That was a huge mistake. Nash loves milk too. Every night when I get my glass, he instantly goes to it and wants a drink. If I don't watch him carefully, he gets on the end table and helps himself. He will even get in my face and try to get the taste of it from my lips. He is quite the crazy little boy.

Little Man Goes to the Vet

Today I took Nash to the vet to have his teeth looked at. His baby canine teeth did not fall out and his permanent teeth have already come in, so it is really crowding his mouth and making his other teeth come in all weird. At first they weren't going to do anything except check him out, but since I had done the fasting routine (just in case) they went ahead and pulled his two teeth. He came through like a champ and is enjoying the special soft food he gets for the next couple of days. Now maybe his other teeth can come through like they should.

Vet Bill

Abbie had her annual check up this week and of course her vet bill was expensive. Since she has seizures we always have to check her phenobarbital levels annually so I expect that her vet bill will run $200+. This year by the time we are done it will be almost double. She had an infection in her eyes (most likely from allergies) and then her T4 level came back low. This meant another test and an additional cost. Now we are waiting on the T4 level test to see if there is an issue with her thyroid or if the test is showing low because of the medication she is taking (phenobarbital is known to make the T4 test show low). I love my babies so we do what we have to do. Nash is due up next and I suspect he will need some dental work. Ugh.

Mama's Boy

Here is a recent picture of my little mama's boy, Nash. He will be 6 months old this month and has a ton of energy and attitude, but loves to snuggle too.

Nash

Every morning when I am getting ready for work, Nash comes up and scratches the back of my leg so I will pick him up and hold him. Of course I pick up him and hold him for a couple of minutes. I am thinking that he must just love me so much that he wants me to love on him a little each day. He is thinking...... "Look at the handsome little doggie in the mirror." This whole time, he has been snuggling me and crawling up on my shoulder to get a glimpse of himself in the mirror!

I'm Back

It has been a while since I did a posting. I went to pick up Nash and had forgotten how demanding a new puppy can be on your time. With work has also been busier than normal and trying to get in to a routine with Nash, my computer time has been. He is now 8 weeks old and a bundle of personality(or attitude - however you want to see it) and energy. Of course, with all Yorkie's he has no idea how small he really is. He weighs a whopping 1.2 pounds and to get an idea of his size, he is sitting on a 1 foot square tile. The other two dogs get along great with him and have learned to play very gentle.

Nash

I get to go pick up Nash next weekend (yes, I am a Nash Bridges fan). My mom has already been calling him by his name and says he has quite the attitude. He is still very small as you can see him in comparison to the medicine bottle, but I have no doubt he will be a good addition to our crew and will be the boss of the house in no time.
