Oh, the teething, the need for constant attention, the doctors visits, etc. I'm too old to have a ....
puppy. I took our stray pup, Indie, to the vet last week to update her vaccinations and to have her spayed BUT she tested positive for ehrlichia (tick fever). Now she has to take a pill a day for 30 days and then she can be spayed. And according to the vet, she's not as young as I thought. He thinks she's 1 or possibly 1 1/2 years old. That's good news--the older she is, the less time teething. She's already chewing up the picnic table and the rocking chairs and the skeleton that we keep on our front porch (don't ask) had to be moved to inside the house. Poor guy had to have his femur screwed back on. Unfortunately, his phalanges couldn't be saved.
Sigh...It's a good thing this pup is so cute.

What cute pics! Of the boys and Indie, I mean. Not the poor, pitiful chairs you now have. Oh well, dogs are much more important than chairs!
ReplyDeleteYour doggie is so cute. Shame about all the chewing that is going on!
ReplyDeleteNow add one more to the mix, and you could be at my house!!
ReplyDeleteHe is really cute, with any luck the chewing phase will be gone soon. You are so good to adopt him!
ReplyDeleteLook at that face!
ReplyDeleteThat is precisely why God made them so cute! Leave tons of chew toys out everywhere, worked for me anyway!
ReplyDeleteHe IS cute...but oh those pretty white chairs! We once had a bulldog eat our couch on Thanksgiving morning right before my entire family arrived! Ah!
ReplyDeleteAwwwww. I know everyone has puppy stories like your, but Scott and I have never had 'bad' pets. The worst Oakley ever did before she was one year old was pee on the carpet like once or twice. She learned so fast to only go potty outside. Your doggy is super cute for sure.
ReplyDeletehow sweet of you Ali to take in this pup, so cute!
