These Paws Were Made for Walkin'

We finally got out for a nice walk today! The roads were clear, the temperature was around 32 degrees and I had the day off. So it was time to get out and breathe some fresh air... it did us both some good! C'mon Spring... you're sooo close...

Jenny Update

Just wanted to post an update about Jenny. She is 100% back to normal. By 100% back to normal, I mean 100% back to running, jumping, barking, and being her insane little self. It's like her little incident never happened. She's going a little stir crazy though, it's too cold and miserable outside to go for walks (That's her lazy, cold-hating owner talking, I'm sure she'd love to go for a walk!...) We all can't wait for warmer weather so we can get outside again!

The Miracle Worker

Jenny had a rough 24 hours. She was clearly in a lot of pain. But... she's all better now! It's a miracle! Well, not really. It was a little bit of luck and a lot of money. I took her to the Vet this afternoon. We got there and the doctor was very concerned that Jenny hadn't been trying to put any pressure on her foot when she walked. She hobbled on 3 legs and just dragged the other leg around. So he suggested they take x-rays.

Jenny was gone for about 20 minutes getting the x-rays, then the door opened and she came running in the room to see me. On all 4 legs! It was the strangest thing. She did have a little bit of a limp, but it was nothing like she had before. She was a whole new dog. Apparently when they were taking the x-rays they were positioning her leg around and "popped" her little paw back into joint. The doctor didn't even realize she was ok again until after the x-rays (of cour$e...) So that was that! I did ask them to give her a pedicure while she was there, it might have been a claw that got caught on something that pulled her paw out of joint. She also was due for her rabies shot. Jenny had quite the afternoon! She's taking a nap now, and resting very comfortably. Thanks everyone for your concern!

Poor Jenny

Jenny hurt her leg today. We're not really sure how, she was kind of running through the living room, then she was standing by the kitchen door with her front paw up and she was whimpering. Eric carried her down to the family room where she has been laying for the last few hours. She's attempted to get up a couple of times, but gave up. If she's not up by tomorrow, I'll have to take her to the vet. I hope it's nothing too serious!! She looks so sad and helpless...

Up, Up and Away!

Sheila sent us some wonderful images from a woman who poses her baby in various scenes while the baby sleeps. I thought they were so adorable! And of course, I thought Jenny should have this done to her while she slept too... of course this is only done in photoshop. Jenny wouldn't lie still for me create a scene around her! If you'd like to see the original (and copyrighted... sorry, I borrowed one!) you can check out the story here.

More snow!

Jenny got some more snow! We only got about 6" yesterday. It put our annual total (so far) up to 92". We're lucky we had a thaw a couple of weeks ago that got rid of most of that!

Otherwise poor Jenny would be having a lot more trouble maneuvering through the snow!

Blankie

Santa brought Jenny a blanket for Christmas. She always sleeps in this spot on the wood floor, I guess Santa thought she'd enjoy a little cushion...

Tricks and Treats

Jenny is sitting pretty, waiting for a treat!

And she shakes too. But then she got very excited and didn't want to sit anymore...

Little Jenny

I found some cute pictures of Jenny when she was a puppy. I think I lost most of the photos I had back then when I lost my desktop last year. (A virus wiped everything out...) But I found a few... wasn't she cute?! This was from the fall of '06. She was born in September 2006.

Look who else was much younger!

And Kelsey too! Seems like such a long time ago...

The Tube

Jenny is still guarding her "Tube". Or what's left of it. It's next to her face... and don't even think about trying to take it from her!

In case you missed the original Tube story... this is how big it used to be.

I Have a Blog!

Hi Everyone! My mom set up a blog just for me. I think she thought that I was taking up too much space over on her own blog. Or maybe she was jealous because of my cuteness... Either way, I have my own now. So be sure to put this on your Must Read Blog list, I'm betting my new blog will be very exciting!
