We've been kind of quiet around here since 'tis the season of taxes. Don't worry, we take time off to watch snowflakes...
We've also been quiet since we've all had to go to the vet for our check ups. I had a follow up blood test after the one I got for my dental last fall showed I was close to having hypothyroidism. Well, now I do have it. Since I turn into the Tasmanian devil when given a pill, I have to have stuffs put on my ear every day forever. Because this isn't as easy to regulate as a pill, I'll be tested more often to see how I'm doing.
Isabella's exam showed that she's dropped in weight from 14.75 lbs to the same size as me - 11.2 lbs. Turns out she's hyperthyroid too! None of us would've thunk it! She'll get pills every day forever since she has no teeth but she'll swallow it in half a pill pocket. A whole pill pocket is too big to swallow. Other than us both being hyperthyroid and Isabella having asthma, our tests showed we're healthy and doing well as senior kitties!
As for Lexi, her exam was fine. She's 57 lbs and just plain hyper. She'll be spayed soon but the vet suggested she go through a heat cycle first. Oh joy. He said that waiting decreases hip and joint problems, however, it also increases her chance of cancer from 1% to 5%. Since the hip issues are more likely, she'll probably have to wait. Whenever it's done we're all hoping it calms her down. She's been in obedience school for five weeks and will officially flunk out at her final class next week. That is if Daddy takes her. It's not that she's a dumb dog like Bella and I think she is, because actually she's super smart. It's because she's too friendly and wants to play with the other dogs and their peeps. She listens to Daddy as long as he has treats but she knows when he runs out so does the doggy version of "lalalalala, I can't hear you!" Let's just say, she better be glad there's a room full of witnesses! Anyway, she's a pawful in public and we're hoping she grows out of it. Soon.
That's the update on what's going on around here. What's new with you?
Hope you enjoy your weekend!
Angel












I told Mommy it was okay to share a little bit of snow with her so we brought some in...
She just pushed it one way...
Then the other way...
Then back the other way...
And while she was doing that, Isabella actually ate some snow...
I had to come get some before it was all gone...
Wanna see a short video of Angel in action? The ending is a little shaky but Mommy thinks Angel is so cuuute...
SNOW!
Most of the country is having record breaking heat but we got 7 inches (18 cm) of glorious snow!
Snow is very unusual in our neck of the woods so Mother Nature is being very good to me this year...
Because a husky can't have too many snowballs...
But a husky's mom can have frozen fingers so I guess it's time to go in...
Before we go in though I just have to have a little more snow...
I wish it could last forever!
This is the bestest surprise ever!
It feels so good between my toes...
And it's fun to catch snowballs too...
I just love the snow! I'm so happy! I know this isn't a video but you can see my tail wagging - first look here...
then here...
Did you see it wag? Well, Mommy is freezing out here but before we go in, let's have fun one more time. I'm ready...
Got it!
I know the snow won't last so I'll enjoy it while I can. I wish lots of snow for all my woofie furiends and all of us are wishing that everybuddy in the path of the recent storms in the midwest and eastern U.S. are safe.
