Again, thank goodness, it's been a relatively event-less day in our household. The only thing that's really bothering me is Mike's not wanting to eat. I think I mentioned before how he refuses kibble at all costs... but now... even treats. I have replaced normal treats with Purina Beneful Dog Food, and both dogs seem to love it. After all, it has more flavors than venison and rice. LOL I bought a big bag of it and fill their treat jar once a day so they "know" these are treats and not food (shhhhh don't tell them).

They've had these new "treats" for quite some time now, and although Mike really loves them... this is strange now... he won't eat them unless I sit on the floor with him or hold them in the palm of my hand to eat out of or give them to him one by one. This really has me wondering what's going on in that handsome little head of his. Yesterday, I didn't really have any "people" food to give him, and knowing he was hungry and had to eat... I offered him a handful of "treats"... well, he wouldn't eat them out of his dish or off the floor, but when I kept them in my hand to feed from, he ate heartily. He actually ate four big handfuls before he was full. Had I not hand fed him, he never would have eaten. He actually ate so much that he got an upset stomach (probably from not eating much the past few days and now eating like he should). Thankfully, the upset didn't last long, and we didn't have the pukey pukes.

Miss Gidget is doing well. She "might" be learning now that going potty is NOT an every ten minute procedure... sometimes we make it to "almost" 45 minutes. She's not quite there yet, but she's working on it.

She almost got bit yesterday. Mike was sound asleep... snoring like a lumberjack. Well, Miss Gidget decided she wanted to wake him up and play.... yep... you guess it. First, she stalked him like a cat and then pounced like a lioness. Welllllllllll.......... Mike is a lot like his Mom.. we don't take kindly to people (or puppies) jumping on us and waking us up from such a sound sleep (or any kind of sleep for that matter). He snapped and growled before he was even awake enough to know what happened. I seriously doubt that she'll do that again in the near future (at least I hope not).

I want to thank everyone who has visited Jack's thread. Debbie is an amazing lady, and Jack is the most awesome pup (except for Mike of course) that you'd ever want to meet. I have no doubt in my mind that we're going to be able to raise the funds needed for his surgery on Wednesday. If you haven't seen his thread or read the updates, here's the link again to check it out. http://jack-thekingofhearts-needsyourhelp.blogspot.com/
We've had two donors already, and I know more will come forward. Thank you to those who have visited the thread, have prayed for Jack and Debbie and have donated. You all mean so much to her and Jack (and me and everyone who knows them).

Until next time America. Take Care and God Bless.

Love & Blessings
