Day 41 - Gizmo

Well, things just don't go the way you hope sometimes. Mom took Gizmo to the vets yesterday morning. Mom was super impressed with her cause she didn't put up a big fuss when she didn't feed her. Giz likes to be held and cuddled so that is what Mom did with her while Sidney and Tanner and I ate our breakfast.
Well later around lunch time S brought Gizmo home and she had not been spayed. I guess when the vet re-evaluated her they said the Heart Murmur was stronger than what they thought and that being only 3 months old that there would be a high chance she might not wake up from the operation. So it was decided by AARCS not to have her spayed. Mom was pretty happy about the desision too. So they also said that puppies can grow out of the condition. So Mom figures we will just get her checked monthly and that she will live with us for awhile longer. Im sure as she gets older she will be more fun.. I was trying to play with her the other day but I think they are afraid of me because most of the time I growl at them. They just don't understand my play body language yet, but I'll keep working on it.

Sidney (Crosby) is going to be going to an Adoptathon on Saturday so if your interested in meeting her go.. it's at Bowdog - 6909 Farrell Rd SE, 10AM - 4PM
There will be lots of dogs there to see and play with.

Day 39 - Latest Adventures of Sid & Giz

So, lots has happened, its been a busy weekend for mom and the puppies. A wonderful family did come and visit but we haven't heard back from them yet. That's ok as even if they found a different rescue puppy, they all need homes. Saturday Mom took them to the vets, they got their 2nd set of shots which means soon they can go to the off leash park with us. I'm excited to show them my favorite place in the world, we have so much fun at the park.

Also we have good news, I know Mom hasn't mentioned it but our little Gizmo had a heart murmur, and that was why she wasn't spayed with Sidney. Well the vet says she still has a heart murmur but feels now that she is 12 weeks they can go ahead and spay her. So she goes in on Tuesday and if everything goes well she will be up on the website and officially up for adoption later this week.

Look at Gizmo's ears, she is starting to hold them up a bit.. not sure if she will have Uppie Ears or not but she is cute in this picture.














Sunday - was the big adventure for the girls. Mom told me all about it... She took them to a place called Spruce Meadows - its a horse place and they were having a Christmas Market. Well AARCS had a booth and Sid & Giz got to go and be part of it. I guess they were pretty scared, they have never been outside our house and back yard except to the vets. It was pretty new and scary for them. But they did really well and settled down, got to be held lots and meet lots and lots of people. Everyone loved them I guess... good thing I wasn't there cause I would have taken the show, cause I'm way cuter... ha ha!!! But Mom didn't take me :(

Mom said that she hopes with all the people that visited the booth, someone might put in an application for Sidney. Her fingers are crossed.

They had a really big day and when they got home, they played a bit and then crashed for a while. Mom tried to clean the house but they kept waking up and attacking her mop. They really hate mops, brooms or even the vacuum. It's really funny to watch them go for it.. makes me laugh and Mom too!

Everyone came over for Family dinner last night.. I always love these dinners, cause I get lots and lots of attention. But with these puppies, I get a bit less attention but my BFF came too and Cooper and I had fun hangin together. They were so tired, Giz actually has some funny sleeping pictures taken of her.

Day 35 - Sidney has a family coming to visit

So Sidney had someone put in an application for her and the family is coming to visit tonight. Mom has already warned Tanner and me that we may have to go downstairs for a bit. She is afraid we will try to take all the attention for us and not let them see Sid.. ha ha!!! She knows us so well. Hey but I'm really happy for Sidney, while I know they may not pick her, the cool thing is that they want to rescue a dog which is a win win all the way around for whichever dog they end up taking home. But let me tell you Sidney is becoming even more cute. The different personalities are shining through. Sid hates to be alone and will follow you all over the place and will fall asleep near your feet or on your foot if mom stays still long enough. She also gives you face washes, me included.. I still hate puppy kisses. Boy does Sidney love to give lots and lots of kisses. Gizmo, loves to cuddle and will give kisses but is more of a hugger, she wraps her paws around Mom's neck and hugs with the odd little kiss. She still give me lots of kisses though.. yuck!!! When she is tired, she goes into my bed under the counter and falls asleep. Mom thinks its so cute. They are scheduled for their 2nd set of shots on the weekend so they will be able to go for little walks but still no dog park.

Oh hey here's a funny story. They discovered my big bed downstairs, I mean big its huge and I love it. Mom couldn't find them upstairs and so she went downstairs and there they were wrestling on my bed. They loved it, its so big they can wrestle like crazy all over it. So Mom went out to Costco last night and bought me a new one for downstairs and the old one is upstairs. At least I know that when the puppies aren't around I can sleep on it too. mmmm I love this bed!

Ha ha!!! another funny thing happened last night, Mom also brought home collars for them.. a red one for Sid and a pink one for Giz. You should have seen them when she put them on.. they were scratching it, and rolling around the dog bed trying to get them off. They had no idea what they were all about. I tried to tell them that collars are a great thing cause they always mean we get to go to the park when they are put on.. yippee. I guess they will figure that out on their own cause they weren't listening to me.

No pictures today as mom did not get any good ones. She was complaining how hard it was to take pictures of moving puppies. Maybe tonight we will get some.

Anyway wish Sidney luck with the family coming to see her. I know Mom & Dad will miss her but it will be a happy day to see her go to a loving family of her own.

Day 26 - Sidney is up for Adoption now

So, last Friday Sid went to that big awful place and she was gone all day. I actually felt sorry for Gizmo and let her play with us. Oh the other big news, which makes me all happy is my cousin Cooper is visiting us for a week. His Mom went away on a vacation so we get to have him over. We play and play and play. Actually after a few days I'm so pooped I have to have a rest. Cooper is only a year old so has way more energy than I do. But boy do we have fun, fun, fun.

OK - back to what this blog is really about.. So we let Gizmo play with us and try to catch us when we were running around the house. Mom says she is a real suck without her sister.
Sidney came home late that night but all she wanted to do was sleep. Gizmo even knew something was up and left her alone to sleep. Next morning though, Sid was BACK!!!

Because Sidney has been spayed she officially goes up for adoption and is on the website at AARCS. I know that Mom really hopes she finds a great home and soon.

Their news trick it to both sit and bark in Coopers face. He is way better with the puppies than I am but really, having 2 puppies barking in your face is not fun and you should see the look on his face.. it makes me laugh. They are telling Mom they want outside fairly regular but they still make mistakes. She is also starting to make them sit for things. I'm really good at that and I can shake a paw too

Mom doesn't have too many pictures of Cooper but she is posting one of his cute face and one of him and Tanner playing Tug-O-War.

Day 21 - Getting Big

Boy Mom really does suck at this blogging thing, look how long its been since she asked me what I wanted to say.
I still don't like all this puppy stuff but every once in awhile I'm sneaky enough to eat their food. It makes Mom really mad but hey, I don't think she feeds me enough. Ha ha.


So what has been happening since our last post. Wow, have Sid & Giz gotten bigger. They are growing like weeds. And do they play hard, they wrestle with each other and make lots of noise. They are even playing tug-o-war with each other. I want to play with them but I'm still not ready. Whenever I get near them they just jump at my face and want to kiss me.. ewww, yucky puppy kisses. Not my thing!!!! Mom seems to like them, not sure how she can, it grosses me out.

Mom is still putting them outside lots and it seems to be working, the other day Gizmo actually went down the stairs and was whining at the door to go outside.. I thought Mom was going to explode she was so excited. They really like it outside and will play out there for a long time, chasing each other around the garbage can and having lots of fun. Mom says they must have a really good fur coat since the cooler weather doesn't seem to bother them at all.

Mom has some updated pictures of them... enjoy! Oh I keep forgetting to tell if you haven't guessed yet. The white puppy is Gizmo and the Black one is Sidney.

Sid & Giz - Day 8

OK, Mom isn't very good at this blog thing. She is blaming the puppies, saying she doesn't have time when they are awake. I have to admit they are pretty busy. But lots of stuff has happened. Sid was the first to get up the stairs from the back door. she just whizzed up them. The next day Giz was right behind her. They still don't go down the stairs, unless they fall but Mom is pretty careful to block the stairs.
Im slowly starting to like them just a little. I will spend some time in the same room and do my chase pose. they haven't figured out yet to chase me. Soon I hope.
S brought Cooper over the other day, so we got to play, he is my BFF as well. He seemed to like Sid & Giz.
Tanner still likes them and even let Giz climb all over him, it was pretty funny watching him.. Mom even took pictures.









We finally got a picture of Gizmo & Sid's MOM, she is pretty but she doesn't like to get her picture taken that's for sure. They must look like their DAD cause they sure don't look like MOM.








So its been 1 week and its going ok I guess.
