Winter Fun

Presley had some winter fun today with Diesel. Bristol is laying low because she is recovering from surgery. We had her rear dew claws removed because they weren't attached to the bone and they could easily tear off. It's hard to keep a 7-month-old puppy calm, especially when Presley and Diesel are around because she wants so badly to play with her sisters.

With Bristol out of the picture, Presley and Diesel were back at it today, wrestling in the living room and playing outside in the snow. Presley had a chance to bark at the shovel while I cleared some snow from our patio. She sure enjoys giving the shovel "the what for".

Today Scott stopped by the Nine-Tel Animal Hospital to pick up a new "buster" collar for Bristol so she can't disturb her stitches. The collar we got yesterday was too short and she could easily reach her back feet. Scott took Presley in with him so he could weigh her. She weighs 80.8 pounds, which is great. It's been almost 2 whole months since her surgery and she's maintaining a good weight, although she's not as active.

Yesterday Scott picked up Presley's supplements from OVRS. Her new DHA capsule is HUGE! She is supposed to have two of them with each meal, but yesterday she left one in the bowl, after licking all of the canned food off of it. Luckily, these can be broken open and the liquid can be poured over her food. Scott says the liquid smells like fish and is really oily. She seems to like it.

Presley is laying next to me right now and her tummy is gurgling. Loudly. Her tummy might be a little upset from all the new supplements. It's just a matter of time before the gurgling turns to gas. So we have that to look forward to.
