Now what!

Yesterday, Josie decided to turn into a dalmation.  She found mud and was spotted all over.  She looked cute.  But trouble.  She can climb up on our dining room table whenever she wants.  So we have to keep the chairs pushed in.

She loves to wake up at 5 am and is ready to go for the day even when I am not.  The vet said she can start walking out of the yard on Friday but still does not have her rabies shot.

When she is tired she sleeps.  Hershey and Josie play a lot but Josie likes to have me there.  She now barks if I am not in the same room with her.  When I was making dinner, I dropped the califlower stem.  Josie grabbed it and ran outside.  I was able to persuade her that dogs do not really like califlower.

She now weighs 20 pounds.  So she has doubled her weight in just over 4 weeks.  She is always hungry.  She eats so fast she tries to take Hershey's food as well.  I think I need to get Josie the special dish to slow down eating.

Watch that puppy!

Thursday night, Andrew came home to play with Josie before leaving for Camp Roberts in the morning.  I am up first and out the door because I teach and like to be in a 7 am.  Larry was watching Josie but forgot about the bag of food left from his cancelled back country skiing adventure.

Josie ate through the bag and found the instant oatmeal.  What a mess.  But then there is more.  Larry left and now Andrew was in charge.  Josie has learned to jump up on a chair and then walk out and jump up on our kitchen table.  The bag of food was a target again.  Josie ate trail mix - chocolate and peanuts.  Andrew says he does not want to puppy sit.  He is not good at it.

Needless to say - this did not agree with her and the evidence was everywere.  Vomit on family room couch on 4 cushions, on the dog bed inside the cart, on the dog bed on the floor, on the throw rug...
Earl forgot to let me know before I walked in the door.

We were worried about the pup she had been sick since Thursday night and I had put her on a rice only diet and now this eating spree.

I think they have both survived.  Now I just need to wash the couch cushions but I need to wait for the rain to shop.

I need to find someone to watch the puppys for memorial day weekend when we are suppose to go see Larry's parents in Denver.

San Diego Trip

I could not take Josie on the plane with me so I need to find someone to take care of her on Friday and Saturday.  I think she had the time of her life.  My aide at work, Charlene Urakami, had two high school boys who were ready to try to watch a new pup and Hershey.

I was sacred to let her out of my site but I think Hershey and Josie had a better time with the Urakami family than then have here at home.  Here are some pictures.

This one is so good it needs to by my new screen saver.

I don't think Josie did their garden any good as she is slowly tearing mine to pieces.  Josie is learning how to dig and tear apart plants.  She did damage to the Urakami's back yard.  Here she is in action.

Hershey had a great time there as well.

It actually looks like Hershey is smiling.  Both dogs play together so well.  Hershey is so patient.  I can't wait until Josie has all her shots and I can take them both out for walks.

Another Week

Josie has doubled in size.  Her favorite spot in the evening is still Larry's lap.

She has destroyed the screen door.  It was already partially ripped by Sammy. But she did a job on it.  Now I was to just take it down.  All for now, I need to get ready for work.

Today we sailed.

And no I did not take Jose or Hershey.  They stayed home safe in their crates.  And the crates were dry when we arrived home.

I feel this pictures says, "Who, Me?"  "No, I didn't do it."

They play with each other all the time.

It takes 1 hour to drive to the boat and 1 1/2 hours to put boat in water and get into the bay.

But it is worth it.

We could have sailed for hours more but we had to get back for the puppies!
