Hey everyone! I'm so glad to be back from California.
I had an amazing time.. the States is different than Canada. Especially the weather difference. After 5 minutes of being outside in Cali, I had sweat dripping down my back.. and I thought it got hot here!
I went to Universal Studios on Tuesday and to Disneyland and California Adventure Park on Wednesday. I don't think I'll ever have fun at the exhibitions here now compared to those two amusement parks! The rest of the days were full of Sunrider events for my Grandma.
My trip was awesome, but my Mom didn't have a great time back at home with the M&M's and my Granddad's dog Chelsea.
Chelsea hasn't been able to poop for about a month now, really, and I kept telling them to bring her to the vet but they wouldn't. They had her on ASPIRIN for 4 weeks and some medicine for her arthritis which ended up making it worse.
She has a tumor right at the tip of her tail bone which is why she has not been able to easily go poop. She went for a surgery this morning, they kept her over night and I'm going to get her in the morning.. wish her la speedy recovery! The tumor is the size of a grapefruit.
Mickey was a nervous wreck and out of sorts the whole time. Apparently he only started eating last night. My Mom said she thought he must have (thought) realized that I was never coming home.. Awww... my poor baby. My Mom actually asked the vet about Mickey's nervousness, but he said Shelties tend to be like that (but I know he's crossed with Collie, not Sheltie).. but I don't know, there has to be something you can to do ease a dog's nervousness.
Molly has been destructive. I knew something like that would happen because they wouldn't excersise her enough. She chewed through some wall, and has started digging in the backyard again.
She was chasing a wasp today and got stung on the nose.. but I can still see her doing it again sometime soon.
Another bad thing happened. She nipped at a guy passing by yesterday. My Mom said he wasn't even threatening, he was smiling and saying 'hello' as he passed and she was barking like crazy and then nipped at his shorts. "We need to socialize her more," says Mom. Wow. What have I been telling them?
Hopefully Mom will put her into obedience now that she realizes that Molly could use some work.
ANOTHER weird thing about Molly.. her nipples have always been black and crusty.. my Mom said that today they're swollen around the nipple and were apparently leaking milk. What the heck is up with THAT?
PS - if anyone would like to update me on anything that has happened, feel free to let me know.
Also adding a picture of me outside our hotel hugging a palm tree. Most in Cali looked pretty trashy but the ones on Convention Way were realllly nice.
