Alan, I believe that little girl has you sucked in to her grasp already!!!

Ya think ... not wild about being her teething ring, but, the rest is pretty awesome. I've been spoiling her rotten ... I thought I was pretty much set up for a dog, but, her "color" is mint green. At least that's what the gal who does my sewing for me says. She's making me new pads, blankets, pad covers etc, for the Pet Palace, the car seat in the Jeep, and her crate. We struck up a deal, I gave her $50 for materials, and she's doing the labor for "Puppy Kisses and Chocolate".

I really thought that would be a great name for a bar, but, not my thing so maybe not. She loves Dove Dark Chocolate bites (she drops one in her coffee) and can't get enough of the puppy kisses. I get the same labor deal on my sewing, but, instead of puppy kisses, I do all her computer and phone software updates, she calls me her IT guy ... LOL ... We have a sybiotic relationship ... LOL. I do chocolate, IT, and puppy kisses .... she does sewing.

a-HAAA!! The truth comes out!

Don't let your mind go crazy ... Grand Ma RoJean is one of the Ladies Mom and I have Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinner with ... She's almost Mom's age ... besides ... I have a gal in my life, her name is Kira .. ... all that I need and probably more than I can handle. She's taken to watching TV , the TV is mounted above the fish tank ... not sure she's old enough to watch such stuff.

Actually she is looking at the motorcycle placard. Thinking when am I going for a ride Daddy?

You may be right ... or the fish tank, I never really know what's on her mind ... very much like the ex wives ... hmmmmm

[FuzzyWuzHe]

Should be noted that she doesn't have these toys in an attempt to spoil her. It's more of an effort to distract her from chewing on me ...



Nah ... who am I kidding, I like spoiling her ...

[consitter]

She has all that and will chew up your shoes...

[Gorilla]

a teething puppy is a chewing puppy. And it will chew whatever is handy.

Not a chance ... all the shoes got moved to the high ground ... .

a teething puppy is a chewing puppy. And it will chew whatever is handy.

And I've got the scars to prove it ... I did find something that keeps her entertained and not bitting me for hours at a time ... and they are healthy.





Found them on Amazon ... they are made from chicken and flour and other mostly natural stuff.

[ol' school]

Alan, looks like our place with all the dog toys but we have three furbabies to scatter the toys around the house.

[FuzzyWuzHe]

The constant puppy sitting is not doing either of us any good. I get it, I snatched her away from her two brothers and her mom and dad. Her two brothers also got snatched away, so, it would of begin just mom and dad anyway (yep, I do feel a tad guilty about that. So, it's my job to provide her with everything. Security, food, water, and yep ... Love.

So, I decided it was time for Kira to get used to the portable dog run and me to get some little things done that were driving me nuts to have not installed. I can't stand it when I have stuff to install and don't get it done. I left her in the yard for about 10 minutes while I backed the trike out and set up the dog run. When I got back, she was ready to explore something new.

I gave her some toys, a teething chew and a bowl of water. Stayed with her until she started to play, then did the trike work. I think she's a little jealous of the FBG, every time I would leave to work on the trike, she would wimper. Broke my heart, so, I moved the run out of the garage, it was level in there, closer to where I was. She whined for a minute, then decided to play.

Whining a little



Playing a lot



All told, I worked on it for about two hours. Was considering wiping it down, but, the Human of my God Dogs had a Doctor's appointment (Women's stuff, so like in the Navy, I didn't ask, so I can't tell) and she asked me to bring Kira over for a play date to entertain the God Dogs. Kira went to meet the God Dogs like the third day. I wanted her to be socialized to other animals and she has 2 dogs and three cats. The human hasn't been out of the house since 3/22/20. She's been working from home and either ordering delivery or using Swan's. She does have to go to her office once a week to drop off and pick up mail, but, I don't count that.

So, I picked up the tools, and her toys, dumped the water bowl, wasn't much left since she decided to drag it all over the dog run. I picked her up and put the dog run in the garage (hoping to use it a lot until she grows into the harness I got her and she can be on the lead that's there. (Yea, she is spoiled rotten, I don't think there are any more "mint green" puppy things left on Amazon. Here in happy valley, we are very limited when it comes to pet stuff, especially the fancy stuff).

I thought ... I'll just hold her and drive the trike into the garage. Big Mistake .... Huge. She was not ready for that. I killed it, and sat in my chair holding her until she calmed down, about a minute. I forgot about the whole get them used to the noise thing. Put her back in the yard, put the trike away and got her to get myself cleaned up. She's fine now.

We went for a ride in the Jeep, she's very much used to her car seat, got fuel and headed over to the God Dogs. Kira loves Jillie, she is the youngest and likes to play. So Jillie and Kira played in her yard and Sassy, the older one, and I sat on the porch bench and watched. Us two old folks laughed and enjoyed the show.

Kira has two speeds, "All Ahead Full" and "Dead Stop". Between the bike work, and the play date, she only was able to play for about an hour.

"Dead Stop"

[ol' school]

Dang, she sure is a cutie Alan!!!

second on the cutie

So today was Kira's day to meet the vet. The vet did a complete check, heart, lungs, temp, bloodwork and weight. I took her in to get weighed on 9th and she weighed 3.2#. She now weighs 4.3#. The whole visit cost me $13.50 ... it's been that for like 20 years for the first puppy checkup.

While there, I had to use the rest room. Guess I've never done that there before, or maybe just didn't notice the pic on the wall. Looked a lot like Kira. At least what I suspect Kira will look like when she full grown.



My vet doesn't like to see "first shots" given before 8-9 weeks, says they just aren't effective until then. So Kira will be going back next Wednesday to get them again. He also wants to wait until she's 6 months to do the spaying. He said it's rare, but, sometimes the puppies have a hard time loosing their puppy teeth and if that happens, he doesn't want to have to put the puppy under twice. Makes sense. She will also get chipped at that time.

After that we went home, she was pretty tired, but, still had the energy to do what Harley used to do, climb onto my computer. A little heart tug when she did that, I was always telling him to "Get off the computer". Guess he doesn't want me to forget him, as if that could every happen.

Alan thanks for the update. Your heart is big enough for both believe me. I still talk to the 2 that left me last year. But love the heck put of my current little girl Rosie.

+1 on that... I still talk to my Sheltie, Cheyenne, who crossed the rainbow bridge in 2017 and love the heck out of my new little Sheltie, Ella.

This morning I helped mom move a bunch of stuff in her end of the house. Tweeked my back again, happening more and more as the years pile on ... LOL. Anyway, I laid down on the bed to let it calm down and to watch the golf, and my little girl came up to snuggle. Again, she's a lot of work, but, the perks are great.

[ol' school]

Looks like she loves her Daddy!!!
