Sick as a Dog

Poor Millie! Not only does she have to put up with Trigger, she has been sick. Last Monday morning EARLY she started throwing up. I took her to the vet, and everything checked out so she sent us home and said she could only have a liquid diet. Millie loves her food and treats, so this was not very easy for us to do. The next day she was back to her old self and gobbling her food down. Tonight she started throwing up again. Guess it is back to the vet for us first thing tomorrow.

Trigger got skunked. We all know that anything that happens to him, or anything he does is not surprising. Friday night I spent the night with my Mom and Brent. Dustin was on a boys trip, and my Dad was in south Texas. We had just finished the Rangers game, and I was all ready for bed. I took the dogs out to go to the bathroom, and next thing I know it smells and Trigger is shaking off, snorting, and coughing. He had been skunked. Well since I was screaming, Brent opened the door, and he ran inside! Luckily he did not get far, and my Mom caught him and dragged him back outside. Since I was in MAJOR panic mode, my wonderful Mom googled what we need to do. While Mom mixed up the baking soda concoction I went to go check on Trigger. I wanted to make sure he wasn't dying. Nope, he was just bouncing around the backyard chasing a bug. Nothing phases this dog. Mom and I washed him down, and the smell had pretty much went away on him. I highly recommend that baking soda concoction if you ever had a pet sprayed by a skunk. Inside the house was a different story! My poor Mom! I am hoping that the smell inside will soon go away!

Thoughts from Trigger Jack

Well Trigger has some exciting news as well....he has found the moon again. Many of you may remember a few years back Trigger discovered the moon. He would sit outside crying, jumping, and barking at the moon.

Last night the weather was so nice Dustin and I ate dinner outside. Trigger, who wonders around aimlessly most of the time, stumbled across the moon while looking for birds. It was on! How dare that moon think it can get away with Trigger not seeing it in the sky so high. Although he did not completely lose his mind...I think it was because he was still tired from his mind being lost for most of the day, he did still have an issue with the moon being up in the sky. Luckily a bug flew in front of his face and across the yard, so he had to make sure he chased the bug clear to the other side of the fence. Since he can not concentrate on anything...the moon is safe for another day.

Since Halloween is getting close...here are a few pictures of the puppies in some of their old Halloween costumes:

Congratulations!

Well it is official...ASHLEY AND TYLER ARE ENGAGED. We received a call about 9:30 last night, and since old man Dustin goes to bed at 8pm he did not answer. By the way he is the most cranky person to wake up, so it did take him a minute to comprehend what was going on. Ashley then called my phone right away, since Dustin did not answer. Smart move, but she should have called me first anyways :). Their story is super sweet, and we could not be more excited for them. Welcome to the family Tyler! We can not wait to celebrate all the exciting times with you two together. Below is a picture of the happy couple (courtesy of facebook):
