The past few days has seen Dandy in a lethargic state. She doesn’t appear to be in any pain, but she has been unusually quiet and walking very slowly. This is a sudden change from her usual bouncy/loud self. Previously, it was hard enough to keep up with her on our morning jogs, but now, I can’t even convince her to break out of a walk. Occasionally, she will just set her bottom down on the grass and just watch me walk away. Happily, her appetite hasn’t changed and she is friendly as ever. What concerns me is she is trembling quite a bit and when around sudden movement, she will yelp as if afraid or hurt. She still has an affinity for squeaky toys, though she is less aggressive with them. She has yet to destroy the loofa pup I gave her last night as a distraction. Definitely a concern.

Mondays are for puppies
Doogie and Dandy liven up Monday morning before work.

Meeting the neighbor
Puppy-less
Puppy is now in the possession of the Plano Animal Shelter. It seemed like a nice place…I hope he finds his future family there.
It’s been a dismal weekend. Lots of peanut butter chocolate sammiches in the future.
Scratch that. Unhappiness = no eating.
See Puppy walk…see Puppy run…
…see Puppy eat a wall. Yes, Puppy has developed a taste for drywall…as there is now a hole in my laundry room that he has chewed through. /sigh
Nobody has stepped up to claim the pup. I had him posted on SPCA’s PetNet but no luck in finding his owner. Most likely the fellow has been dumped/abandoned. Given today’s economic climate, this seems likeliest. It’s a tough time to be homeless, and tougher for a homeless animal. I just wish I could find this guy a good home…and get back some much need sleep and productivity. Meanwhile, it’s still been a pleasure watching another puppy grow up under my roof, even though he is a little pee monster.
Little known fact: after 72 hours, the lost pet becomes the finder’s responsibility. So apparently I am now the proud new owner of a furry poop machine. He’s lucky he’s so darned cute.
