Caught in the Rain

Benny Baby, I am so sorry you got wet!  My Sleighbelle does not mind the rain at all!  She goes out there, sniffs all the grass, walks around, and takes care of business.  I meet her at the door with a towel to dry her off: that is what she takes exception to.  She hates to be toweled off.  She growls and fights me every time!  Silly Pug!!

oh my goodness!!  We are getting rain and lots of wind forcasted for later tonight.  Yes, they sure hate to get their paws wet!
Don’t be cranky, Benny… but you do look cute!!

Oh, oh…..if looks could kill!  Bam!

I am sorry to have to inform you all of this, but Georgie has a “stash”.  And, I am his enabler.

I discovered this shameful fact as I was straightening up his pillow and blanket next to my chair.  Under the blanket, on top of his pillow lay 20 (I counted) beef marrow bones. I have to admit that I’ve been blantantly bringing them into the house and not paying attention to the amount he has been using, although, I think he’s been lifting from the other Pugs as well.  No one’s talking. I wondered where they all went.  Until we can get him rehabed, the bones stay, but don’t report either him or me.  We’re working on it.

Pug hugs,

Oh Benny~pottying in the rain doesn’t sound like fun. I don’t blame you. But you’re nice and dry now. Snuggle in pug! It’s cold and windy here but sunny. Pip just saunters through the yard. He doesn’t care.

We are dog sitting our friend’s ‘weeny’ dog again and she is a sweet heart. She minds the wind though but she gets the job done!

Darci~how are you doing? Been thinking of you.

Sue~how are you and Abby? Please let us know.

bennie’s story reminds me of my Toby.  We usually walk early in the am but it was raining in Florida.  When I go out on the back porch, Toby goes through his doggy door to see what i am doing.  Much to his surprise, it was raining.  he knew what he had to do and did it.  he got toweled off.  Poor Tioby got wet.

I can’t blame Benny for not wanting to go out in the rainif my doggies even hear the rain they won’t go near the door well except Baxter he dosent care if he gets wet Huckle I love your stories always makes me laugh I havent been on the computer in a couple days with Abbys surgery I am just now catching up I missed obp land

Sue, thanks for the update.  I think we were anxious to hear from you.  Sounds like Abby is doing ok.  I know you and her have a lot of hard work ahead, but I think you are taking it in good stride.  I will continue to pray for her complete recovery.  Hugs from Romeo and me.

Sue, oh my goodness, I think I somehow missed that Abby was already scheduled for, and had!, her surgery…I don’t know how that happened!  Well, I have been praying for her every day anyway so I am thrilled to hear that surgery is *behind* her!  I bet she looked darlin’ in her scarf and I’m sure she’ll get used to her PT in no time.  I’m excited for your recovery and healing Miss Abby!!  Kiss to you…

Huckle, your story today has me laughing and laughing…Love it!  That is one “stash”...perhaps even a “hoard” (don’t get me started…do you all watch that show?!?!?)...Georgie, I admire your ability to stash and not gorge!  Hope Cooper isn’t being too much of a pooper…LOL

Sue - I am so relieved to hear your report on Abby.  Has she already started her walks, and how did that go.  Is she favoring that leg a lot more than she was?  I wonder if you could put her in a tub of warm water and do some exercises there?  Just a thought. 

You will do a fine job even if it isn’t popular with Abby.  I am so glad to hear your upbeat attitude. I was worried about your being worried. That move forward attitude will help her (and you) so much.  We are all here for you, especially if you get discouraged.  It’s going to be a long road for both of you but you sound in charge.

Hellen - have you received GiGi’s forgiveness yet?  Is your chair a power chair?  Maybe you could race her!  If I’m not being too nosey, how long have you had to have “wheels”?

Heather - since you asked….my husband is going to take Cooper to his vet (we have different vets) as soon as he can make an appointment.  What I cleaned up last night on the lineoleum (thank heavens) was like very slimey water.  I was ready to gag trying.  I have given him some pumpkin, but had changed their food last Friday (same company, different taste) so that might be part of it.  He’s hungry all the time and is finished with his tapeworm med.  Is that because the tapeworm still lives or is it just his adolescence.  He remains an unbelieveably BAD dog!

GiGi must have forgiven me…she is laying under my table now while I am checking out the computer. She normally gets out of the way when I toot the horn on this thing!!

I have been in one chair or the other since 2006. Can know longer walk at all. Thank goodness with Medicare they are free.

I started knitting Santa Suits this morning!!! Don’t ask..you would never believe it!!!

Guess being 70 plus working bad on the memorie…Thought today was FRIDAY ntil a few mintues ago!!

Sue~thanks for the update. How are the walks and the pt going? Sounds like a lot of work but I’m sure you can do it! Still sending prayers your way!

Huckle~Georgie has a stash! That is hilarious! Years ago when my Mom was alive, she had a yorkie named Rosie that had a huge stash of raw hide! (She was a rescue and didn’t get much from her previous family.) Dogs are so funny!

Hellen~I need to ask about Santa Suits. And don’t worry, I’m only 39 (no really I am) and I thought it was Friday too!

We welcome you back Pug Mama when your computer is up and running.  I realize now I would be totally lost without my computer, and not being able to check in on OBP would be devastating to me…I am addicted to the computer and OBP.  When I was still working I didn’t like them at all.
