Rainbows Really are Good Luck

Rainbows are supposed to be a sign of good luck and it looks like it's true! On Sunday me and my family saw a double rainbow outside of our apartment. Yesterday I had another vet appointment to check my eyes again and we were hoping that this double rainbow would be a sign of good news at the vet office.

Well, it must have been a really good sign because the appointment went great! The eye stain was done first to make sure the scratch had healed and it did. This is great news because I don't have to be on the antibiotic eye drop or the Rimadyl anymore.

I still have to be on the anti-inflammatory eye drop and the drop to reduce the pressure in my left eye. I will have to be on these two medications the rest of my life and I'm okay with that. Mommy gives me a treat every time I get an eye drop!

Mommy and Daddy have to watch out for my eyes getting really red, squinting of either eye, or any other sign that my eyes are bothering me. If I show any of these signs, I have to go to the vet again as soon as possible. Hopefully that won't happen any time soon and, if all goes well, I will be seeing the vet again in three months for another eye check.

Rescue Friend of the Week: Arnie

Once a week I will be posting about 1-2 rescue friend(s) that need a loving home. If you can adopt or know someone who can adopt them, let me know or use the contact info in the blog post. And now, This is Arnie! Arnie is located in Washington State.


ARNIE is an 8 year old 27 pound male Boston. He came into rescue because his owner could not keep him at his home. He gets along well with other dogs and loves people, especially men.


Arnie is not crate trained but he is housetrained. He is confident and playful and he seems to know "sit" and "go lay down". He is affectionate and loves to cuddle. His favorite things to do are to play ball, go for car rides, cuddle and go for walks.

Arnie does have cataracts in both eyes. He sees pretty well and needs eye drops daily. The drops will cost about $50 for 4 months. He is up to date on his shots and is micro chipped.

Arnie is looking for a home to live out his days. That home would have someone willing to take on his eye care. They would be patient, be willing to include Arnie in their family activities, take him for walks, and take him to an obedience class to refresh his skills. It would be a home where someone would be home part of the day or able to come home for lunch.

If you or your family can provide Arnie with a healthy, safe, and loving home, please contact Vicki at vickalus@gmail.com

Rosie and Marni Celebrate Their Birthday

A while back I posted the recipe for my birthday cake on the blog just in case anyone wanted to make it. One of my fans contacted me via my facebook page and told me that they were going to bake it for their aunt's dogs because the dogs had birthdays coming up. I was so happy to hear about this and couldn't wait to see pictures. Both the dogs look very happy with the cakes and they both happily ate it!

This is Rosie and she turned 11 years old on October 1st. She loved the cake and ate it really fast!

This is Marni and she loved her cake too! She took her piece out of her bowl, went outside with it and ate it in the back of the garden. She didn't want Rosie or anyone else to get it.

Happy Belated Birthday Rosie and Marni! I am so glad to have you as my friends!

How Doggles Saved my Eyes

What can't I say about my Doggles? You all know how much I am in love with mine and how AWESOME they make me look, but did you know that they saved my eyes?

As many of you know, I have been having many eye troubles lately and have to be on eye medication the rest of my life. My vet said that she was glad that I was using my Doggles when I went out and that she reccommends them to many of her patients, so I guess I beat her to that. Anyway, right now I am being treated for a scratch on my right eye and we are not sure exactly how it happened, but can you imagine how bad my eyes would have been had I not been wearing my doggles when I went out of the house?

Think about all the times I've gone to the dog parks with wood chips on the ground, or when I am at those parks and go running in the bushes. When Mommy throws the ball and accidently throws it too far. Then I have to retrieve it from the blackberry bushes that have all the thorns. Mommy always has to pick the thorns from in my skin when I come out, but did they get into my eyes? NO! My eyes are safe!

Doggles are very stylish too! I thinks I see a new pair coming in the future.....maybe for Christmas?

My Recheck Vet Visit

Yesterday I went to the vet again so she could look at my eyes and make sure they are doing okay. The visit didn't go how we expected and we got some good news and some bad news. Do you want me to give you the good or bad news first? Okay, I'll give the good news first.


The good news is that my eyes are looking much better! The pressure in my eyes is on the low end of normal and it's right where it should be.

The bad news is that I have a scratch on my right eye (my good eye) that has to be treated. The vet took me off the steroid eye drop because it can cause the scratch to take a long time to heal and that could lead to infection. I am now back on Rimadyl for any inflammation in the eye, a anti-infective eye drop, an anti-inflammatory eye drop, and I will continue to use the eye drop to reduce the pressure in my eye.

The vet also heard a slight heart murmur that will have to be monitered, but it is nothing to worry about right now.

I am very sorry about this Mommy. I know that you really didn't want to hear anything like this right before the wedding. I know you still love me but I feel bad about what has happened.

Wedding Cake Toppers

Mommy's wedding is next Saturday, the 13th, and she is going to have a really yummy cake at the reception! She wanted a Boston Terrier cake topper but couldn't find one that she liked, so she got creative. She found these Boston Terrier salt and pepper shakers online and got them. She is going to use them to top her wedding cake and then, after the wedding, use them as salt and pepper shakers.

Crawling Competition

Mommy is a nanny for a 3 yr old little boy and I LOVE playing with him! We are the best of friends! The other day we had a great time by having a crawling contest. It didn't matter who won. We just wanted to have some fun.


I start out strong!

Then, I start to slow down. NOOOOO! I'm running out of energy!

I stop for a minute to eat some grass.

Wait! I have just enough energy to pick myself up and keep crawling!

I finish the race and have a fun time too. It was great!
