Interesting Evening....

Yesterday started off pretty good. Rich went to go help a friend move and I stayed home with the dogs and Amir. Jasper was just neutered on Thursday so he has his E-collar and medication that he has to take every night. He was "cryptorchid" so they had to be removed from his abdomen. So much for breeding the dogs!!!

The day went pretty smoothly other than Jasper's usual antics (i.e. Going through the garbage, chewing up anything and everything etc) Amir was a little grumpy but that has become regular. (lol) Later in the evening things were starting to go a little better. Everyone was playing outside and having a good time. Well within a few minutes Jasper had gotten out of his E-Collar and chewed it up. I knew I would have to keep a close eye on him until we could go back to the vet and get him a new E collar. Well apperantly I didn't pay close enough attention. He found his medication and chewed that up and ate all of the pills, about 6. Side effects; Neausea, vomiting & kidney failure. Luckily he only had vomiting.

This morning I took him into the vet for a new E collar and more pills. The tech just laughed about the whole story. That was before Jasper growled at her when she tried to put the E collar on him. Then she didn't find him so funny. Jasp can be mean when he feels like his humans are threatened. Its sort of cute.

The moral of the story: Don't get a dog. Let alone two.

The End.

Amir's Piano Playing

Amir playing the piano and singing about Ruthie & Jasper.

Mangey Mutt

We took Jasper to the vet about two weeks ago for his routine shots along with Ruthie. We also got this weird spot on his shoulder checked out because he was losing his hair in that area. Turned out it was mange. That's right, I had no idea that "Mangey Mutt" actually had a meaning. How did I not know this you ask? I have no idea. I guess I've never owned a dumb dog before. (haha)

Another thing we found out: Jasper is sterile. His boys haven't dropped nor will they ever drop. We have to get them removed because they will likely turn into cancer if they stay up there. I guess we should have just assumed that he was defective because of his lack 'o tail... So much for a stud, eh? I guess its for the best. Since Jasper is 11lbs and Ruthie is only 9lbs. Remember, Jasper is 9 months old and Ruthie is coming up on 2 years old. Bummer. Looks like we will just have to breed her with something small and yippee... Chihuahua... Poodle... MinPin... *Insert evil grin here*

I don't know when we will breed her or what we will breed her to. All I know is that she is going to have cute puppies.
