Seizures

Mom reporting today. We've had a very interesting weekend at our place and we thought we'd update everyone. Thursday the 19th at bedtime, Dunkin had a seizure. He really scared the heck out of everyone. We were hoping it would be the only one, but alas, Friday he had two more. He's now on medication and doing pretty well. Seizure free for more than 48 hours. He's a bit weak in his posterior but otherwise seems unaffected.

We did discover that he likes ice cream. A local ice cream stand called Brusters gives out little doggie sundaes with Milk Bones to their 4 legged customers. YUM! Now when we have ice cream, Dunkin & the crew all expect some too.

Blender Blues

Haroo, puppers. Shiloh reporting in today. I have to say I've got a case of the blues. The blender blues.


Mom has gone off of the deep end or something. Yesterday, she started hacking up all of this pretty colored paper into little itty bitty bits. She gets upset when we do things like that. I have often tried to help them recycle things from the waste basket and I got yelled at. I tried to tell her that shredding paper wasn't right, but she just kept on going.




Then she got out Blender. I got excited then cuz she often uses Blender to make us neato treats for dinner. But she put the bitty paper bits into the blender! Yuk! Then she started this whole weird process of pouring the paper water into this frame thing with netting and what came out at the end? More paper!



I am really confused.


Mom said that she needed to practice making paper to show the kids at the library all about the process of how the ancient Chinese invented and made paper for a program that she's doing later this week. She said that it was fun and she'd keep practicing.

Personally, I think she should go back to making us treats and frosty drinks. I could use a frappachino cuz it's so darned hot here.


Until next time,
Shiloh

Dog Days at the Dog Park

Hello all! Dunkin reporting in today. Let me say it - it's HOT! The Weather Pixie has been reporting an excessive heat warning for this weekend and Foster Mother & Father have put a magic cold wind box in the window for us all to stay cool.

Before it got too bad outside, Shiloh & I took a trip to the dog park to meet some friends and we thought we'd share some pictures with you.

This youngster is a new friend named Agess. He is a very pleasant yet bouncy fellow who Shiloh likes to play with a lot. They ran circles in the woods of the park and played quite a bit.

As for me, I was taking it easy by the water bowl. We seniors know the importance of staying hydrated and not exerting ourselves when it's too hot outside. Besides, I am a refined gentleman and "romping" just does not become me.

I would much rather take a leisurely stroll through the woods with Father and Mother.

Seriously, did she have to use this picture? It may have been her view, but, really, how embarrassing. I will have to reprimand her by shedding more on her recently vacuumed floor. Besides, it's much to warm for all of this fur anyway.

Presents and More Pictures

Haroo, everypup. Shiloh reporting today. Our friend Kat asked if mom got a nice present from dad for their anniversary - she did indeed. A beautiful pair of sparkly earrings. We aren't sure why biped decorate their ears, but mommy sure was thrilled.

Mom and dad also took us on an adventure for the anniversary celebration. We all went to a very special place to have our pictures taken. Willow Street Pictures in Reading Pa. Mom & dad said we were on our best behavior and we tried very hard to cooperate with the nice photographer. Dunkin didn't seem to like being in the spotlight much because the lights hurt his eyes, but Guinness and I posed nicely. They even let us sit on the furniture!

Maybe someday we'll be able to share those pictures with you all too, even though they are done by professionals. If you visit their website, you'll see they do a fantastic job taking pictures of us dogs and of bipeds.

It was hard work being a model and we were tuckered out at the end. Mom & dad went to a cooking class later and brought home some stuff called baklava - but they wouldn't share it with us. I think I'd better go and claw them to be sure they start sharing more.

Roo ya later! Love, Shiloh

Daddy's new camera

Haroo everypup, Guinness reporting in today. Mom & Dad have been married for 10 years, so they exchanged presents and daddy has a new camera to play with. Now he can participate in the blogging too and we don't have to wait for mom to bring her camera.








Here is a great picture of Shiloh and his snow snooter





Here I am playing with my free bee - okay, what it left of my free bee. They keep trying to replace it with a new one, but it's just not the same and I am loyal to this one.














Here is Dunkin, doing what he loves best - riding in the car. He loves to stick his head out of the window and feel the breeze on his face. He also loves the attention he gets from bipeds as they drive past him.







We hope everypup has a fun and safe Holiday Weekend!



Loves & Kisses, Guinness

Kissin Cousins

Haroo, everypup. Shiloh reporting in today. We realize we have been very bad about blogging lately and for that we would like to apologize - and blame mom. She's been forgetting to take the camera with her while we've been on walks and stuff and she feels very badly that she hasn't been a very good secretary lately.

However, they had a nice little adventure without us and since it involves some cool cousins, we decided to let her tell you about it.


Last year, we posted about a trip mom & dad took to our local zoo. You can click here to see that old post if you'd like. They went back to the Elmwood Park Zoo for a little biped's birthday party and took some really cool pictures of our cousins, the timber wolves.




The wolves were in a very springtime and playful mood - mom thinks that some wolfie love was in the air. We don't know much about that, but they sure are cool looking cousins.








They also took some pictures of another kind of dog - prairie dogs. They don't look at all like dogs to us, but that's what they are called. This guy must have been the poser of the bunch, or maybe he was their look out sentry.




And talk about your raw diet! This bob cat happened to be having one heck of a lunch when dad took this picture. Hey, we haven't had bones that big for a while - "Hey, mom! Can we have some big bones, please?" I'd better go claw her until she gets the right idea.

We hope you liked our zoo pictures. We promise to be more vigilant about getting mom to take her camera with her.

Later! Love, Shiloh

Holy Rescue

Haroo, everypup. Dunkin reporting again. Last post, I told you I was going to church and I thought you'd like to hear what it was like. It was Volunteer Sunday at the church where Foster Grandpup & Grandmom attend. They all share together their volunteer experiences with each other and learn about different ways to help others. Grandpup suggested that Foster Mom & I come to tell everyone about volunteering with a dog rescue. We had lots of fun. All the kids gave me loads of belly rubs and ear scratches and all the big bipeds said that I was handsome and well behaved. In fact, Pastor Beck said that I was well behaved enough that I could attend the service with mom. We sat in the back near the end of the pews, just in case. On the other end of the aisle was an older man who looked like he needed a cuddle. So, I went over to him and leaned against his knee and let him scratch my head. Grandpup said that was a really nice thing for me to do. It was a very nice way to spend a Sunday morning.
