So, although I'm older now I certainly don't remember being that bad as a puppy! These guys poop and pee all over the place. When they get into the living room they go behind the couch and start chewing on wires and cords and whatever they can get their little teeth into. I think the curtains are next!! Not me though! I remember being Mr. Perfect Puppy! Laugh Laugh! That may just be my memory though! Laugh Laugh!!
Right now as I write this, they are in the kitchen sounding like a herd of buffalo as they run through the kitchen into the puppy area and back (again and again and again). NOTHING is safe from these puppies! Not even poor lil' ol' me!! Laugh Laugh! I love the little goobers though and will miss them when they are gone. Even if they did start deciding that I could substitute for Mom. But OW! Those are not nipples!! This is what I do when they get too out of control by me:
Gotcha you little goober-face! Laugh Laugh!!
Mommy and Daddy keep saying how nice it is that it is sunny and warm so the puppies can spend a lot of time outside. They've been wishing too hard for that I think as it's been really super hot around here lately. I know I already blogged about that but I just want to say that we've had rain for the last couple of days here and cooler temperatures. Most (if not all) of the fires burning in Colorado are 100% contained! Those firefighters working the lines deserve everyone's eternal gratitude!! They saved Colorado Springs - our second largest city!! - from burning down!! From Boulder & Ft. Collins to Durango, the western slope by Grand Junction, and the eastern plains by Limon. There have been terrible fires this year. And those firefighters got them contained before the rains showed up!! THANK YOU from all of us Coloradans!!
Of course, now that we have rains we have flood warnings in all the areas affected by the wildfires <sigh>. Please take care all my friends who are in these areas!!
Now, getting back to the serious stuff (ME!!). I know a lot of you are wondering how my leg is doing. It still bothers me and I still limp. Mommy and Daddy say that no surgery can be done until my growth plates close and that will be when I'm at least a year old - maybe older. I continue to see Jennie the Physical Therapist weekly and work on the underwater treadmill. And Mommy and Daddy are making plans for me to see Dr. Lewis for xrays when I turn a year old and then we'll go from there. Right now I'm 9 months old so .... 1 year is 12 months... 12 minus 9 is .... Dang It! Math has never been my best subject ... 3 months! There. Got it. Laugh Laugh!! And let me clarify that when I say "bothers" me, I don't mean it hurts. I just don't walk on it properly and so my movement is funny and I worry about stepping on puppies and slipping on the floors. And I find it hard to get up. And that bothers me!
Wishing everyone safety and quietness and loving arms to hold you when its not!
