Tasha Update and BIG NEWS FOR BLOGVILLE!!!!!

Last night, Her Majesty, Tasha, Queen of the Urban Jungle, slept well, waited on all four paws by her adoring Daddy.   WHN has been relegated to a far more servile position, involving giving her medication and cleaning up after her, which is probably what she is qualified to do! Daddy sang his Tiny Tasha to sleep to a new lullaby, inspired by his favorite tv show, The Big Bang Theory-

Soft Tasha, Warm Tasha
Little ball of fur
Happy Tasha, Sleepy Tasha
Grrr, Grrr, Grrr

Her Majesty loves this song and loves having her Daddy sing her to sleep!  He brought home a new caterpillar squeaky to be destuffed and she has begun her research already! She ate the chicken nuggets that he thoughtfully provided, as well as the Greenies treat.  This morning she is walking a little more slowly and  her paw is a tad swollen, but she ate her breakfast and took her morning medicine without any trouble! There will be plenty of Queen of SLing time today and this weekend!!!!

Tasha wishes to thank everyone for their POTP and good wishes- they made a big difference in her recovery!  (AND , WHN is still in one piece- wonder what is up with that?)

We're Back!

 This morning WHN and Dad has to rush Tasha , Queen of the Urban Jungle, to the vet, after she started screaming in pain right before breakfast.  She had gone outside as usual, waking up the neighbors, and while WHN was busy getting her morning repast put together, Her Majesty let out several screams that chilled WHN to the bone.  Tasha was limping, holding her front left paw in the air.  Dad of course took charge and got everyone loaded into the car, with Tasha in her sling, and off they rushed to the vet, getting there just after 7 AM CST.  XRays were taken and thankfully nothing was broken or dislocated anywhere!  She has a sprain, and was able to walk normally right after the XRays were taken, to our absolute shock!  She is on Rimadyl and Tramadol for the next week, with lots of sling time!  These photos are of her on the way home- WHN and Dad can finally breathe normally again!


BTW- on MOnday June 3rd, don;t forget to wish Millie and Walter's Mom Cindy a Happy Birthday!  Tell them Tasha sent you!

Pentecost Sunday in St Louis!

Checking out Dad's gardening prowess

 Today is a very hot day here in St Louis.  We have been enjoying our backyard and helping Dad with the lawn care, and this week Dad finally transplanted the 87 million tomato plants that he bought late last month at the parish plant sale.  We are going to have 87 tons of cherry tomatoes just for us!  WHN and Dad will have to suffer with Roma and beefsteak tomatoes.  As you can see, we are avid gardeners and are checking out Dad's work

View from our back door- we do not have a large yard and ours is not fenced.

Happy 85th Birthday, Mom!

Geoff and Mom

 Today is WHN's mom's birthday!  She is 85, which is merely late middle age! 

Happy Birthday, Mater!

Chip Update!

Just back from the vet and Chip has an abscess and will be on antibiotics for the next three weeks and then he returns for a follow up! He is not showing any signs of pain or discomfort, just wants to be with WHN all the time.He is quieter than usual, but Snoopy makes up for that.  Thankfully nothing serious! The testing showed white blood cells but no tumor cells, so that is fabulous!

Happy Belated Mother's Day!

Happy Belated Mother's Day to Blogville!  Sorry we were too busy yesterday to post! Saturday Dad and WHN went to pick up her new Embellisher machine, which we insisted Dad buy her for Mother's Day- we had been saving up our treat allowances for 87 million years to surprise WHN.  Then we had him buy her a mini iron to help with her applique work, and of course he listened to us! yesterday we took WHN to ST Charles after Mass and breakfast- she wanted Jack in the Box tacos so of course we rushed right out and got them for her!   (She has the craziest cravings) .  Snoopy is doing a bit better with his aggression , but to make sure we walked him along the banks of the Missouri River, near the Lewis and Clark statue- he was exhausted and rode in the mobile command post the rest of the morning!  Then we had Dad buy WHN cookies from the bakery and then stopped at the English Shoppe for snacks for the ride home.  WHN made a chicken curry for a late lunch and we snoozed the rest of the day away. (celebrating Mother's Day is exhausting) 

Today Chip goes to the vet- WHN saw a growth on his face and of course is in a dither to find out what it si so her Chipster gets better fast. He is not in any pain- it is probably in ingrown hair, but you know WHN and her blonde moments!

We just got back from the post office- mailing our grandmother's birthday present!  WHN's mom will be 85 Thursday and she made her some towels for her bathroom.  Our other grandmother loved her place mats- she knew right away that we had pawsonally supervised their construction! 

This week is Ginger Jasper week- place mat and quilt! Also, WHN will be making some items for our Mall Shoppe and if anyone has any requests, just let us know! 

Toodles!     

Look at what WHN has made!

 Just in time for Mother's Day, WHN made these matching placemats for her MIL!  We of course snoopervised while they were made as we wanted them to be pawfect for our paternal grandmother!  We actually prefer it when WHN is chained in her sewing room- keeps her out of our furs !!!!

Have you signed up for the Pet Blogger Mall yet? WHN will be having a shoppe and is busy working on her items for sale!  We are busy hiding our treat money from her and are hoping to do lots of shopping when it opens in July!  hope to see you there!

Pssst!!!!!! OPENING SOON!!!!!!

Have you heard the latest in BLogville?  a Mall is opening up for our residents!  Our very own mall, and it is paw friendly!  Where else would our beloved four leggers be welcome to come in and browse, snip butts, chase tails, etc?  We hear that it will be fabulous, better than 5th Avenue in NYC or Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills!  WHN will be opening up her own shoppe in the Mall and we hope that you come visit!  We are busy hiding our allowance and treat funds so we can shop to our paws content, at our leisure!  We also hear that Sasha will be serving her world famous possum and squirrel treats for the discriminating four leggers, and that there will be a chandelier and beer shoppe just for Puddles!  Maybe Burger King will drop in and see his BFF Pip!!!!

So, what are you waiting for- head on over to Pet Blogger Mall  and follow the fun!  Bookmark the site and follow by mail- easy peasy!  At least 87 million vendors and tons of fun!

Isn't this GREAT?

What do you think of our new header and blog background?  Courtesy of Fenris' and Turien's mom!  WHN is completely over the moon with happiness because of the bright pinks- her favorite color!  (WHN made a donation for us, having raided our treat allowance, so that Turien can finish her heart worm treatment)

Snoopy is doing better!  Thank you BLogville for all of your suggestions!  WHN purchased the book recommended by Dachshund Nola's Mom from Amazon and it should arrive sometime this week, and WHN has been watching videos concerning positive reinforcement training and putting them to work.  Also, Snoopy and the pack are not going for as many car rides anymore- Dad had the idea that Snoopy associates our getting out of the car with his being transferred to yet another home and that is what scares him so much- he is only five and has had five homes in that time, three within a one month period! So, the DWM all stay home when there are errands during the week and all three are a lot less stressed, even though they do enjoy a good car ride, we need to keep Snoopy stress free.  

Third, Snoopy's and Tasha's skin issues are clearing up- WHN read a suggestion from Liz   LISA about adding coconut oil to the food and it works wonders!  No more Benadryl, no more red or flaky skin!  Snoopy especially loves the coconut oil and the coconut flakes and his skin and furs are perfect, not a fur out of place! WHN thinks that he is starting to look like our beloved Puddles, BLogville's very own Queen of Merriment and Mayhem!   

This past weekend, WHN was on the phone for hours with her BFFFF Miss Sue, the matriarch of the White Dog Army pack!  Those two can yack for hours and talk about fabric and art like no one else!  Miss Sue is starting a new charity and once she has it up and running, you will see us posting and supporting it here! 

Lastly- WHN is doing so much better!  She has actually been in her sewing room and is getting caught up on her quilting- she finished the placemat for Coccolino, our favorite mini pig, and for Stella Rose and her pug family!  Now she has the placemat for Ginger Jasper and his quilt, plus the place mat for Prancer Pie and crew to finish!   She was even well enough to attend a one day seminar at her favorite home away from home, Jackman's fabrics, and and learned so much- the featured speaker was Evy Hawkins of www.abitofstitch.com- you should see her embroidery designs - WHN bought quite a few too and DAD bought her an embellishing machine from Baby Lock!  The Embellisher EMB12-2 and he even used it at the store! HE INSISTED that she get it when he picked her up!  (Yes it was on sale and it is so much fun to use!)

We do have exciting news to announce in the near future so keep your eyes peeled for a MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT!  

Don't forget about the Pet Blogger Mall - opening soon!  We plan on saving our allowance money and WHN is hoping to have a shop!

WHN Needs help!

Dear Blogville, WHN has a dilemma and it involves Snoopy! As you know he is an adored member of the pack but has started becoming hyper aggressive about his peeps.  The entire pack goes car once a day- and he goes cracker dawg crazy whenever he sees anyone near the car- near being a relative term- someone could be walking three lanes over and away from the car but Snoopy sees that person as  threat to the car!  Then he started nipping at us as we get out of the car!  (In fact the only time he does not nip at us egressing his car is when we arrive home) Yesterday WHN went to the library to return some books accompanied by all three of the DWM.  When she tried to get out of the car, Snoopy bit her on the back.  The skin was not broken but she is sporting a dollar coin sized bruise on her left shoulder. 

Snoopy is in great health- he saw the vet last month. He does NOT act up while on his walkies- he is quiet and just wants to run and walk forever.  (We are thinking of entering him in the Iditaraod Race in Alaska next year) .  He is very protective of his home, family and his car- We have no idea why he is so aggressive- he has been doing splendidly with us and while we are not afraid of him, we are wondering if there is anyone with any suggestions as to what could be causing this and what we can do to help Snoopy.He has lived with us for six months now and he is going nowhere as Blogville knows, but this is new behavior on his part.  He did not do this when he first came to live with us- in fact it only started in the last couple of weeks, with the nipping and biting starting this week.  We think it is severe separation anxiety, but are stumped.
