Dogs, Meds, and Pee

Cocoa went back to the vet to have his bandage changed – which is really good because he peed on it a couple of times – it’s hard being a boy dog and unable to lift your leg.
They also checked the sutures and said it’s all looking good. He came back with two drugs in [...]

Cocoa’s Turn

We had a traumatic evening Monday night. Everything was great – cooking spaghetti and green salad for dinner, beautiful evening, and the dogs were running happily around the yard. Our neighbors pulled in their driveway and our dogs went crazy. They love to run along the fence, where their driveway runs, and bark at their [...]

Sugar’s First Trip to the Park

Since Sugar’s puppyhood has been full of trips to the vet, we thought a fun trip in the car was in order. So she had her first walk at Shelby Farms. She did great! She saw a baby buggy, kids on roller skates and bicycles. She only barked at a couple that was just walking [...]

Our Little Sugar Plum

We are still dealing with Sugar’s broken front right leg, but hopefully (and prayerfully) we will get the ok from the vet this Saturday to take the cast off. We go for x-rays on Friday morning. She’s been impossible to keep still lately really showing us that she’s not having any pain in her leg. [...]

Sugar’s Broken Leg

Well, our little Sugar once again had to endure a trip to the pet ER. She jumped from too high of a spot trying to get to her big brother Cocoa. We joke that the reason she survived Parvo was because of her daring and sassy personality. It may have helped her fight off that [...]

Finally the Snow Came…and Went!

We finally got the snow that I had been waiting for all winter! It came down on Friday afternoon, then was almost completely melted away by Saturday afternoon. But it was beautiful! The most snow I’ve ever seen in Memphis. At our house we measured five inches on the deck. And it was the [...]

To Snow or Not…

Are they just teasing us with all this talk about a winter storm? Joey on Fox Memphis just said that we might have 3-5 inches!!!! That would be incredible! I would LOVE to have a day of rest with the world covered in fresh, clean snow. How beautiful would that be! And my puppies have [...]

Home with Sugar

We got to bring Sugar home from our vets on Saturday evening! She’s on a diet of special food and medications in the morning and evening. She loves to eat! I know going over five days without any solid food has made her really hungry. Her energy level is up; she’s playing with Cocoa and [...]

Sugar is acting like a normal puppy

We stopped by on our way home and Sugar was jumping around acting like a normal puppy. That’s a huge change from even yesterday. I guess eating make a big difference in how she feels. The vet said she can go home tomorrow afternoon! And that we are some lucky dog parents to have a [...]

Update on Sugar

We stopped by last night to see sweet little Sugar and she looked good. Today I called and they said she was doing GREAT! She’s been eating a little today and keeping it down. And she’s up walking around and WAGGING HER TAIL! Great signs! We can’t wait to bring her home. She might come [...]
