My First Tour of My New Home

Yes, that's right. I am moving to a bigger house in 3 days because Mommy is getting married next month and we need more space now. It's going to be a little sad because I have known this house all 7 years of my life, but I know I will make new friends. Today, Mommy and Daddy took me to check out my new house for the first time and I really like what I see. I had so much fun exploring the whole place. Sadie, Cinnamon Spice, Vanilla Bean, Gollum, and I will even have our own bedroom, but that's not the best part. The best part is that we will live about 10 minutes from Mukilteo Beach! That's my favorite beach!!!

Photo Caption Friday

The picture this week for the Caption It didn't get a whole lot of caption ideas, but that could be because it was so cute. There was one that I was going to use at first until, at the last minute, one caption idea came and it was just too cute. I had to use it!

I Was Naughty Last Night

First, I want to say that I am feeling better with this eye medicine and the vet was very pleased with how my eye looked yesterday at my re-check visit. With that said, I am also feeling a bit sick to my stomach.

Why I was a naughty boy last night:


Mommy gave me my food first because she wanted to make sure I ate all of it, along with the Rimadyl pill. I did, but was still acting really hungry. She let me outside to go potty and poop while she fed Sadie and our friend Tia, a dog we are dogsitting right now. Sadie was fed in her crate because she usually tries to steal Tia's food. Mommy let me back inside and didn't pay much attention to me and Tia's food because I always leave it alone. Well, Tia didn't finish and the food looked so yummy! I couldn't resist the urge to eat! Mommy caught me finishing up her food and is not sure how much I ate, but my tummy was very, very full! I had a little tummy ache last night, but it's feeling better this morning.


The worst part is that Tia's food is Chicken and I have a slight allergy to chicken. Mommy's mad because now I'm going to have diarrhea real bad and she really doesn't want me to wake her up 3-4 times tonight because I have to go poop. She said "If you have to go in the middle of the night, use the litterbox! Don't go waking me up because you ate food that wasn't yours and your tummy doesn't like it." I guess I brought this on myself.

Annual Check-Up 2012

Yesterday I went to see the vet for my annual check-up and it was anything but normal. I was fine when I left the house, but when I actually got into exam room, I started squinting my left eye. My eye was really red too and Mommy couldn't figure out why I was doing this. I was just being a good boy and waiting until I actually got to the vet to show that I was in pain. Why should I have done it before? That would just be silly!

Here I am waiting for the vet to come in. Sadie was a good girl while she waited too!

I got my check-up first and my weight was normal, temperature was normal (although I don't really enjoy having a thermometer put in where the sun don't shine), and ears looked normal. My Mommy brought up my problem with my allergies and how the Benadryl wasn't working as well as it used to. She suggested that, at some point, we would want to see an allergy specialist to get tested to find out exactly I am allergic to. Until we are able to do that though, she suggested bathing me 3 times a week to see if that helps my skin at all. I am not looking forward to it. I mean, a bath more than once a month! I hate baths, I hate baths, I HATE BATHS!


Next the vet checked my eye because she was a little concerned about how red it was and that I was squinting it so much. Mommy said, "Oscar, why are you squinting your eyes now? They are going to think I don't care for you and notice these thing!" Sorry mom, but I only show pain when I'm in the exam room at the vet office. After looking at my eyes, she is very concerned about the one I didn't want to open. She took a pressure test in both my eyes and they were a little high. Not high enough to be glaucoma, but it is probably heading in that direction. She ordered a blood draw to make sure there are not any underlying causes for this. She also wanted to see me again today. I'm hoping that today will go a little better. For now, I am on 2 eye drop medicines and Rimadyl.


Sadie's check-up went much better! She is healthy and the only concern the vet had about her was that one of her teeth has some root exposure, but I am the top priority right now.

Photo Caption Friday!

This week was harder to choose a caption. There wasn't really one caption idea that stood out from the others. This makes my job tough because then I really have to get thinking about which idea fits the picture best. Here it is!

Photo Caption Friday!

This week has been super busy and I have had hardly any time to think! Working on the scrapbook project took up most of the time. I did have time to post a Caption It picture though. Lots of suggested captions came in, but only one stood out to me and Mommy. It might have something to do with the fact that Mommy really loves "The Lord of the Rings" movies, it could be that it just fit, or maybe both. So with that said, here it is!

Photo Caption Friday!

I loved this weeks photo because it had so much potential! There were 3 animals in the picture and that leaves rooms for many caption ideas. We got lots of good captions and Mom and I had to decide which ones to use. It was just by chance that we were able to have a caption for each animal in the picture! So, here it is.

Now for the captions:
