Ernie- Wigglesworth Have a Golden- day!     Barked: Sun May 19, '13 5:36am PST  So, we tried to leave Ernie out of his kennel last night. Both he and Burt found room up on the bed. Worked for about 3 hrs, then #2 Son made some noise in the house and Ernie started barking. Let him out for a tinkle and we all went back to sleep. Until 5:15am. When Ernie discovered something he alone could smell underneath our bed. Scratch, scratch, scratch... on the hardwood! Let him out, then back in and into the kennel until 7:15am. Just checked under the bed. Yup. There was a tennis ball. Ernie has his neuter tomorrow. That should be fun. Burt & Ernie continue to play, on and off. Burt still feels he has to be the "Fun Police" every time Ernie gets too rambunctious. I think it's a hold over behavior from the accidental bite incident. Burt is really becoming quite the Boss! Last night, he tried to hump MY leg! NOT!!!!! He still is overly shy with strangers, but coming into his own as he takes control around the house. I can see them becoming best buds (over time).

Burt- BlackPearl Shelter Dogs- Deserve a 2nd- Chance     Barked: Sat May 11, '13 6:12pm PST  well, we had an "incident" last night. Our living room is full of Mission-style furniture, even Lar's recliner has the wood arms with slats. Ernie loves to bound up onto Lar's lap for a snuggle when he feels Lar's ignoring him (there's a video on Ernie's pg of this). Yesterday Ernie was turning around on Lar's lap and his back paw went down between the recliner seat cushion and the frame. Total panic!!!!! Ernie started crying/howling and biting at the chair. Lar tried to put his hand down the side to see if he could free Ernie leg. Ernie panicked and bit Lar on the finger--chomped down and didn't let go. Ernie finally let go of Lar when he managed to wiggle his paw free. Lar has a deep puncture on both sides of his middle finger. Owie! Luckily, Ernie's paw is fine. Burt witnessed the whole thing--the howling, crying, Lar yelling & crying--and now he doesn't want to let Ernie near Lar. Every time Ernie makes a fast move to play with a ball or a stuffy, Burt challenges him, or gets up & stands between Ernie & Lar. Burt the protector... oh my!

Burt- BlackPearl Shelter Dogs- Deserve a 2nd- Chance     Barked: Mon May 6, '13 10:47am PST  Good news from the vet recheck: Ernie didn't lose any more weight now that the Fortiflora has knocked out his diarrhea, and his ears are all clear. Ernie's neuter is scheduled for May 20th. Bigger news: Burt's red blood cell count is back up to a low normal so no need for more tests and... wait for it... wait for it... he lost ONE POUND in a week! Burt & Ernie were goofing around a bit this morning... playing nicely, but then Ernie tries to mount Burt and Burt wasn't having ANY of that. He snapped, snarled at Ernie, and Ernie dropped to the floor and showed his belly! Burt sniffed Ernie's privates, and then all was well! Little milk toast Burt is now Head Honcho!!!!! (Shades of Dixie... BOL ) We have lots of gardeners here... I need a replacement climber for Morning Glories. We had them on the front fencing last year, but they TOOK OVER!!!! So, this year, I was planning on Morning Glories in our yard, running along our redwood fencing, to reinforce it and beautify. But now I've discovered they are DEADLY to dogs & cats in all forms... leaves, flowers, seeds, vines. Burt has never been a grass nibble, but I've seen Ernie indulge so I don't want to chance it. I need an invasive flowering climber that's NOT poison. Any ideas? special thoughts and prayers for Clark and, as always, sending much love to you all... my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Burt- BlackPearl Shelter Dogs- Deserve a 2nd- Chance     Barked: Wed May 1, '13 8:38am PST  The community homepage shows that our very own DarlaMae is DOG OF THE WEEK! |$ |~ a~ Ok, so you may have read in the past that I always eat in the Living Room and Dixie always ate in the Kitchen. Now that the new guy is here, he eats in the Kitchen. After we finished, Dixie & I would always check out each others bowls, just in case there was anything left. I'd lick Dixie's bowl clean & she'd polish off mine. Last night I left a couple of pieces of kibble in my bowl. While I was checking out Ernie's bowl in the kitchen, he finished what I had left. Then, when it was empty, the BRAT peeped in my bowl!!!!! The NERVE!!! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Burt- BlackPearl Shelter Dogs- Deserve a 2nd- Chance     Barked: Tue Apr 30, '13 8:39am PST  Hi, all. I was "off" yesterday. Think I'm getting a cold, or allergies, or something. My bloodwork recheck is Sunday May 5th. Dr. M is having hrs on Sunday-Monday so she can be off Tues-Wed for something she's doing at Purdue U. It's nice because the Dad can come with to help with the "goof". The "goof" has developed OCD about the living room. Underneath every piece of furniture, sniffing, sniffing, sniffing, and occasionally pawing (which gets a loud NO and a redirect of attention with a toy). The Mom & Dad have the cleanest living room underneath the furniture--they dusted, vacuumed, mopped, and Ernie still won't stop. We don't know what he thinks he smells. Someone suggested pepper as a deterrent, but that seems extreme. positive thoughts and good Karma for AbbySarge Mom's checkup and for Clark's continued healing. Love to you all. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Burt- BlackPearl Shelter Dogs- Deserve a 2nd- Chance     Barked: Fri Apr 26, '13 7:52pm PST  so, my liver enzymes are elevated even more than before and I am becoming anemic... my red blood cell count is at the very bottom of the "normal" range. But, with the liver enzymes AND low red blood cell count we will recheck the blood May 5th. If further changes will start looking for reasons. bummer. On a better note, Ernie's ears looks better, and Ernie & I traveled well together in the back of the Jeep. Mom picked us up all by herself. Son #2 was supposed to ride along but stayed home to wait for UPS (delivery of barrier for behind front car seats). Will post pics... my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Burt- BlackPearl Shelter Dogs- Deserve a 2nd- Chance     Barked: Fri Apr 26, '13 8:59am PST  I am spending the day at Dr. M's for my semi-annual checkup. I weighed in at.... 87 POUNDS! I truly do look like a tick ready to POP! Ernie will be coming to pick me up this afternoon so Dr. M can do a recheck on his ears. He does NOT like his ears messed with--Mom & Dad had to buy a muzzle! (which, strangely, he tolerates putting it on really well). Mom hopes he's put on some weight. (he can have some of mine) Clark love to you all... my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Ernie- Wigglesworth Have a Golden- day!     Barked: Tue Apr 23, '13 7:15am PST  I went to visit with my BFF & her Mother yesterday evening. Her Mom is 82 and has been slipping in & out of dementia since November. While I was gone, well, let's just say that Lar, playing his Xbox, wasn't as vigilant with watching for Ernie's "tells" and I came home to several puddles in the dinette. Well, I'm taking the rest of my available vacation this week, working Fri & Sat, same as last week. Hope we can make some more progress with house training. Thinking of Clark and keeping him and Linda in our prayers. Love to you all... my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
