The dogs (Sophie — top; Rosie — bottom) come home tomorrow and we can’t wait, though we are feeling a bit overwhelmed by the preparation — we’ve spent the week at PetSmart, Home Depot, Target and Dollar Tree buying puppy items, and we’ve been putting the Christmas stuff away and returning our house to its dog-safe state.
The latest update came yesterday, from our friend Carol:
The girls are doing great. What wonderful personalities. Very different personalities. I am really getting to know them.Sarena came down with an upper respiratoy/cough and now they all have it. Went to the Vet and have them all on antibiotics which you will continue to give them for a week. Sarena is going home today and they have named her Marley. Sophie will miss her. They have fun playing together although Rosie is glad she is leaving so her sister will pay more attention to her instead of the little blond brat! lol..
I had to give them a little canned because they were not eating the dry very well anymore. I would pick up some cans of Pedigree puppy. Just mix a bit in with the dry and a little water. I would do it for 2 of their meals. Breakfast and Dinner and then for lunch put down just dry. You should be able to wean them off of the wet little by little.
I gave them an empty pepsi bottle 2 liter and they have had a ball with it. It is so funny to watch.
Sophie just loves to lay on her back. When I go in to the room in the
morning she runs over and throws herself on her back for her belly rub. It is so
cute. Rosie is a real snuggle bunny. Just pick me up and love me!! Glad there
are two of you for the two of them.
So are we.
