The sun is shining.. it stopped snowing and blowing, and it's a beautiful 22 degrees out. Problem is.. we're snowbound. LOL The drifts around the back of the house (where the dogs go out) is up to my shoulders, and the only reason they can even get out is because I kept sweeping a three or four foot area around the back door every hour or so yesterday and last night. I do have to say it's beautiful, even though it's confining. The traffic is going fine now, so I'm sure all the roads are 100% ok. Guess I'll have to wait for the Spring thaw to find out for sure. The pups are playing like crazy this morning.
Mike's chasing Katie and trying to act so tough, but she runs circles around him letting him know that even though he's bigger and badder, she's smaller and faster. I'm a little worried about Mike though. He seems to be constipated. I was thinking it was because he didn't have enough room cleared off in back to make his rounds before elimination... but now I wonder because... if ya gotta go.. ya gotta go. I've given him a couple tablespoons of applesauce (he loves it) hoping it will help. I just hope and pray he unplugs soon. How weired, when our kids are little, you worry about them having the poops or being constipated... when the kids grow up.. you worry about your furkids doing the same thing. The biggest difference is... my kids weren't afraid of going to the doctor.
I found a mobile vet that's located about 10 miles away. I think I'm going to call tomorrow (Monday) to see what they charge in case Mike needs a vet again (hopefully he'll never need one, but I know that's wishful thinking). Anyway, I want to prepare just in case, because with everything that's gone on with him, I don't want to traumatize him anymore than he has been by going to the vet's office again. We'll see... at least it's an option. Of course, I don't know how good this vet is either... I'll have to get some referrals at least and maybe check him out with the board.
I'm going to go try to catch up with everyone's threads. It feels like I haven't been around for awhile... actually, I've been reading but not posting much. Time just gets away too fast. I hope everyone is doing great. Love, Blessings & Tons of Wet Westie Nose & Whisker Kisses

Joanna, I'm trying to post and just can't seem to make it work.
It's been a nice day here too but alot of snow...
Miss Rylee loves it but would rather play in it than go potty...unfortunately no one wants to hang out with her while she has her fun!!
Glad to hear that things are OK with you all. I'll try posting this again. Hugs, Judy
I have been wanting to post since u stated this blog--but never could figure out how to post.
But hehe thanks to Judy's post, I opened it and it has a way to comment. So...hope this finally works!!
Oh, Joanna a mobile vet sounds wonderful. Definitly ask them for references. Do they come for routine things--or emergencies too?
I posted some pics of the puppers in the snow--it has melted several inches becuz it has been sunny all day. It was their first time out in the front yard. LOL only Justice and Tucker went furtehr then the bottom of the stairs.
We still can't get out of the driveway though.
I have heard pumpkin (not the filling for pies, but just canned pumpkin), is good for both diarrhea and constipation. It has lots of fiber, so is able to help both problems. If u ever try it start out slowly-maybe a teaspoon.
Is Mike straining--is that why u think he is constipated?
I am so happy to read that Katie and Mike have become such good buds.
It does sound like Mike is not depressed or quiet like he was before Katie came. I am thrilled.
Get ur bro to take pics of the 3 of u together. They will be very special pics!
Hugs
Cindy, Tuck and Justice
Joanna, follow Cindy's suggestion of canned pumpkin if Mike will eat it - it should definately help!
I am so glad the puppers are getting along so well!
Hope you guys are able to shovel out soon. We have so much snow here it's a mess.
Oh, I loved the pictures of the pups - too cute !
