The Week That Was & Will Be.....

A Tumultuous Yet Exciting Week For Maisy

Last week, Maisy enjoyed another weekend at Cheeky Dog, so that her parents, David & Shannon could spend quality time with their own parents for the inaugural "Meet The Parents", prior to the Big Day in October, 2012. Maisy sometimes comes home with a cold, upset stomach, or a case of the Homesick Blues. In this case, it was all three! 

Maisy made yet another trip the VHVG, I thought she may have gotten Kennel Cough again, but Dr. P. ( Dr. Pizzilo ) informed me that was not the diagnosis. I did feel relieved to hear that.  But she did have a small cold.  Within recent  months, I switched Maisy's diet, a different "Iams" type of food. This made her a bit uneasy, so the vet again flourished me and Maisy with Flagyl, a Pepto-Bismol  type of medication for dogs. Since the Dr. knows all to well that Maisy's stomach is very sensitive we received extra pills for her, which was nice of them to do. Of course I did have to pay for extra, no worries there. It was a very busy Tuesday morning, especially after a long weekend, we were in and out without hassle.


This morning, Maisy woke up to her first snowfall of her life. She did get a glimpse of the white stuff last October during the freak storm, where many people in the 'burbs lost power for weeks on end.  Maisy basically just shrugged it off. Can a dogs sense of smell travel through snow? Usually, Maisy will sniff her way to her usual spots to relieve herself, but the 2" blanket of snow made it somewhat difficult to navigate. Eventually, she scoped out some new digs, if you would wanna call it that, and marked her new territory, not forgetting of course to track down the vagrant cats that co-habitate near by. 





Like all dogs they love the white stuff, even eating it, but just keep in mind Frank Zappa's line from one of his songs, "please don't eat that yellow snow". We took her to the Bkln Br. Dog Run, of course no one was in there, they were smart not to be outside. She did have fun chasing her squeaky ball on the newly filled mulch which was put in yesterday. On the way home I got worried about the salt affecting her paws, at some point today I will be getting her Paw Wax, for her paws. I heard it's a lot better than the balloons or the hi-fashion booties that you would buy at LL BEAN or the overpriced store of Paragon Sports, NY.


Maisy is resting comfortably, before she goes out again to Cheeky Dog, and spends another weekend with her furry pals. 


Tune in, next week, while celebrates her 1st Birthday, picture to follow.
