I've got some new toys since the summer My favorite one is a big blue rope. (it's a rope that went through the center of a Kong type ball, he pulled the rope out the first day & he loves it) I also got a new collar & a name tag in case I ever run away from home. I eat different food & bones now since it was the other stuff making me poop funny.
I met up with a porcupine - 3 weeks ago tonight actually - it didn't go over so well.
I ended up with about 20 quills under my nose, a few in my left paw & some on the right side of my snout. (I did want to get the quills out as soon as this happened but I couldn't resist taking a picture) I let mommy & daddy take most of them out but some of them were too deep & I was getting grumpy. I had my first visit to the emergency room to get the last few out, they made me take a nap & I when I woke up they were all gone. I had to take some stinky pills for a while but I'm all better now. It looks like I'm going to have 3 scars under my nose from the worst ones, 3 little pink dots.I bonded with Daddy very quickly when I first came here but I am now most definitely a mamma's boy. Mommy's home a lot more than Daddy so I'm with her all the time. She tells me I'm up her butt sometimes so we are working very hard on the stay command.
I've developed a little crush on my grandma, everyone thinks it's funny. I've met some more people & a few kids since I've been here. I even have my own baby doll (it's motion activated) that wiggles & cries. (we thought this might help him get used to having an infant around) Mommy pats it & says be nice to the baby so I usually lick it. One time I nibbled on it's sock but mommy told me no.
We are not registered at the message board for the shelter where I came from so Mommy just wanted to post a quick note here that she recently read my rottie sister Dolce became ill & has crossed the rainbow bridge. To the M family - we are so sorry to hear this, we know how painful it is to lose a pet.
