    Oh my, you have me crying and laughing at the same time. I can just picture Pirate and Tehya running together.

    She knows she's home - forever

    Wow, amazing! Big grin on my face too!
    Tehya is such a sweetie - her joy seems to be contagious, she seems to get just about everybody to play with her! I'm glad Pirate's so happy, she deserves it!

    Not even a dribble in her crate overnight!

    I saw Pirate RUNNING beside Tehya!
    Not sprinting and only for about 30 feet, but she was RUNNING!!
    Tail up, husky grin on her face, running!

    YOU get to see those Miracles because YOU were responsible for

    I have a wide range of colors! Got a gift certificate for Christmas so I've even got some new ones! Teee heee......

    Pirate continues to do very well. She had a bit of trouble yesterday with some very watery stools. I suspect the stress of moving, going to the vet, new food(i don't know what she ate before so she went straight to Paxil's kibble), and new medicine all combined to wreak havoc in her GI tract!

    I found a can of Gastro Formula food in the cupboard, must have been leftover from another sick furkid, and a can of pure pumpkin. The combination seems to have firmed things back up today. She had more pumpkin in her dinner just in case. Apparently pumpkin is tasty to dogs! Her tail is a little dirty. She might have to get a bath tonight!

    The urine leakage seems to have stopped completely. She's moving very well, when she decides to get off her bed and go outside! She likes being a house dog ALOT! Plus it's miserable outside, -48C, today. I don't want to be outside either!

    She did a fake shiver at the shop door this afternoon. It was hysterically funny. Didn't take her long to figure that trick out or to train me to open the door for her!

    What is the fake shiver trick?

    YAY that the urine leakage doesn't seem to be a problem anymore! BOO for watery stools, but double YAY for gastro-formula food and canned pumpkin! Extra-double YAY for you for being able to figure out who's got tummy troubles out of all of your fur-kids!!

    -48C?! BRRRRR! You and the doggers and the cats all stay warm, please!!
