She has tapeworm. Which explains why she went after my breakfast yesterday. I think we somewhere got off schedule with our flea treatment. Anyway, she and Daisy are both dosed up and being aggressively treated, so she should be fine in a few days. Chicken and rice, which will make both of them happy.

Callie's going back to the vet today (my dogs, I think, secretly have some vendetta to prevent me from getting a new dishwasher--last month Daisy had bronchitis on the cusp of pneumonia and Callie got spayed). We woke up this morning to massive runny poo with blood in it and vomit. She ate a rock. I found the rock. And she's still having issues going potty. Vet office opens in 50 minutes. I'm trying not to freak out and think about scary things like knotted up intestines and stuff that can't be… Continue

Well we've settled into a routine here at Casa De Puppy. Up at 5:15 to walk (cringe), chew on favorite cow hoof until Mom either leaves for work or loads Daisy and Callie into the car to go out to grandpa's for doggy day care.

We're delighted to see that Callie's color is darkening up. She now has n… Continue

Hence the cuteness makes me want to cuddle her constantly (an eventuality that Callie is perfectly okay with), a desire I have to curb part of the time so as not to offend our other dog Daisy… Continue

Well, Callie had her first bath today. That went over like a lead balloon. You'd think we were torturing the poor baby she was crying so much. We washed Daisy (who likes baths) first in hopes that Callie would see, hey, these aren't so bad. But no. No dice. Once she got dried off, it seems we were forgiven. Then we discovered the ball. Her sister is all about those larger rubber balls that she can bounce of her nose like a seal, but Callie, we discovered, loves tennis balls. She wa… Continue
