Sorry I have not posted before now, I have kept updated on Chipper, and I prayed every day for him. I am so glad that he is doing so much better and that he is home where he is truly loved!!! the pics and video are great, he is a beautiful boy.
WELCOME HOME

Kimmy and Andy, have you ever noticed how much Chipper looks like our Tigger?? Mike was amazed! He is a beautiful boy!!!! I'm sorry you can't make it this weekend, but, there are other weekends....maybe another when it's not going to be so rushed.

Keep up the good work Chipper boy!

Actually that thought occured to me last night!

He's still doing well. Eating great and super playful.

Kia got a bit bitchy with him last night and ended up with no supper and a long time out in her crate because of it. We were wondering when the first scuffle would happen. No blood drawn, though from the sounds of his screaming, you'd think she had mangled him.

But they were back to being buddies this morning.

Still waiting to hear from MSU. I would of hoped the test results would be in by now but I might not hear from them until early next week.

Now Kia...... you just simmer down sweet thang... no one's going to take your place sweetie!
Your mom and dad love you just as much as ever!
Make sure to take good care of your new brother and help him feel better!
You're going to have a life long play buddy!

I don't think Cinder & Smokey have EVER had a cross word between them ...
but to listen to them "playing" ... you'd think it was a Fight to the DEATH!

They really enjoy appearing (tied together on their Y-Thingy) when I stop to chat
with another Hiker at the BigLake Park ...
One of 'em will either fake *bite* the other, or *snarl* & *lunge* - then they begin a LOUD Battle with lots of teeth & paws.

Women grab Babies, Dads shield Kids & Dogs, jaws drop, <gasps> are heard ...

"Oh, they're just PLAYING! ... They really LIKE each other."
Yeah, right ...

Yeah, they play very rough with lots of teeth, growls, and wrestling. That's actually Kia's play face in my avatar. Looks evil, but for the most part she's a push over.

So it was easy to tell that Kia was not playing when she laid the smack down on him.

I think she was a bit sore at him from the earlier incident. Chipper was chewing a bone, Kia took it away, Chipper tried to take it back, Kia attacked, so I took the bone away. Sadly Kia has that food aggression issue still.

A couple hours later while I was preparing their dinner, Chipper walked past Kia and she just unleashed on the poor boy. When I got her off him, he tucked tail and ran.

Kia's house...Kia rules. Sometimes you just got to sit on those boys to get them in line.
Glad to hear he's getting back to normal.

LOL! No way! My house... My rules! Well... I think.

Seriously, if he had nagged her to the point that he deserved it, then the scolding would of been to both of them and less severe.

But he didn't do anything to deserve that level of snark from her. However, yes, the boys do need to be kept in line now and then.

Same here. I know how common it is & I've always watched for it, but just
has not happened yet. Maggie does get pushy sometimes. I hope poor
Chipper got the message & peace breaks out again.

Chipper continues to do well. He and Kia continue to play nice and haven't had any spats since. Kia has been making some strange whiney noises when they play though. It's pretty funny to hear. I'll have to try and get some video.

Dr. Byl called yesterday and left me a message. Said he was curiuos how Chipper was doing. I called back this morning and he was busy doing rounds so I left a message with the receptionist Judy. She remembered Chipper and was happy to hear about his progress.

I also inquired about the blood work that should be back by now. Hopefully no news is good news.

[pitc9]

STILL no results from the blood work?
Where in the world did they send it too??
Hope you get the results soon, and yes... no news very well could be good news!
Also glad to hear they've not gotten into any spats!
Yikes... you, Kay, Jess, Amy... new pups all around.... makes my mind start thinking.... hummm.... what's one more?
