I Found Them

Since I was having lots of family and friends for Christmas, to be safe I thought it best to keep the little ones in our bedroom. Knowing that they are not use to being confined I placed a gate across the doorway so they could at least see the happenings. When Blaze arrived he immediately went looking for them as he loves having them around him. He loves watching Mia play and Zee is always very close by him and will actually lie down next to him. It didn't take long for him to discover that they were behind the gate, now he just needed to learn how to get them out. What surprised me was that all three were on my bed at the same time, that was a first.

I fit?

Since my last post was of Mia on her mini couch, I thought I should follow up with Jerzee Girl who also thinks its just her size. Lately she seems to be on it often.

Just My Size

The little ones are always interested in getting something new. When I ordered this couch a while back I didn’t realize it was meant to be a bed for a ferret (don’t tell Mia that). But as you can see Mia has now claimed it as hers. She thinks it’s a perfect fit just for her. Jerzee Girl has been watching her lay in it and is trying to fit in it also, it’s like the stepsisters trying to fit in Cinderella’s slipper.

Do Not Disturb

Since my little Mia has been ill I keep a very close eye on her. Today she seemed to be very tired and did not want to get up and out of the bed, and she didn’t want me disturbing her either. When it was almost noon I went in and made her get up, I should have known that you can not make Mia do anything she doesn’t want to0, as you can see she just laid down in the hall and went right back to sleep.

Icing

Mia enjoyed the icing from her cake she even shared some with the others.

Happy Birthday Princess Mia

Today was Mia’s 3rd birthday, so she dressed up for the party. Mia is our little princess she loved her dress but did not like her fairy tale headpiece. She was much happier when the hat came off, and of course we had cake and she got to have some icing so that made things even better.

Lupo & Opul

My friend sent me these pictures of her doggies, I just had to share them and the little ones didn’t mine them being in the spot light. Lupo is her Jack Russell whom she had for a while, and Opul the Vizsla is new to the family. I just love the alertness of Lupo and Opuls eyes. I remember when she was thinking of getting another dog and I told her “two are more fun than one” I hope she found this to be true.
The Jack Russell
Jack Russell Terrier was developed in 19th century England by a clergyman named Jack Russell. A sturdy, tough terrier, very merry and much on its toes all the time. They are spirited, obedient, intelligent, yet absolutely fearless and a devoted and loving dog. If you give them an inch they can become willful and determined to take a mile.
The Vizsla
Its name "Vizsla" in Hungarian means, "Pointer” and originated in Hungary in the 8th century as a hunting dog. They excel in retrieving, and are capable of covering difficult terrain. Vizslas are friendly, lively, and affectionate with their family and those they know. They have an easy going nature and make an excellent companion, eager to please and quick to learn. Yet they are also alert and watchful.

On Guard

I was watching my great grandson and so was Zee Zee. She loves the baby and always wants to be near him. However I soon realized that her concentration was not on the baby but how she was going to get that toy away from him.

Some Bunny Loves Us

Getting the kids all together for an Easter photo is not easy. I was surprised that Macky was the best in wearing the bunny head dress, and of course Betty Boop wanted to show off her bunny slippers. From left to right we have our baby girl Mia (age 2 ½) Daddy’s girl Betty Boop (age 8 ½) mamma’s Jerzee Girl (age 2) mamma’s boy Macky (age 8 ½ BB’s brother) and Gia (age 5) our sister-in-law Sara’s little girl who is the half sister of Betty Boop & Macky. They may not have enjoyed taking this photo but they sure enjoyed their Easter baskets.

Another Yellow Band-Aid

Today was a bad day for Macky he was in a lot of discomfort and had a few different issues going on. I was keeping a close eye on him as he was by my side most of the day, when all of a sudden little Mia had a major issue. She had to be rushed to the Vets who did a work up on her but we didn’t get any answers from it. She is having some more tests Friday morning, so I’m hoping that will give us the answers. She is sedated and resting now and Macky has now calmed down but is still not himself either. .The two buddies usually look after each other, however neither one is able to comfort the other, so I will be with them through the night and can only hope it will be a quite one.

My Shopping Companion

Jerzee Girl has become my new shopping partner since little Mia has been restricted from outings. I must say Zee Zee is a real pleasure to take out, she’s the easiest to handle and just goes along with everything. As log as she is with me all is good for her, however should we find the toy aisle then things are even better. She just wants to be wherever I am and I’m enjoying her.

Cone Head

Yesterday Jerzee Girl was spayed and has to wear the cone. When the other girls went through this procedure they did not have to wear the cone after the first day. However this will not be the case for Zee Zee, she is determined to get at her incision so she will have to wear it a while. She is even trying to reach it by using her back paws to scratch it. I’m tempted to put baby mittens on them.

Two

Today was Jerzee Girls birthday, she turned two. Like the others Zee Zee was not fond of the birthday hat I made her. However she did enjoy the extra treats that were given. It’s hard to believe that it’s a month already that she has joined the family, and fits in well.

By His Side

As I've said before Mia and Macky are best buds. Macky has had some set backs again and was not doing well, so Mia remained at his side at all times.....expect when we went to the Vet...she opted out on that. Plus Mia is not able to go on any outings at this time. She doesn't like to see her buddy down and its been a tough few days for him again. I think we are in for some real ups and downs as time goes on.

Jerzee Girl

Today Jerzee Girl...ZeeZee for short joined the family to become another Florida girl. She will be two years old in March and weighs all of four pounds. Macky was quite smitten with her I think he's enjoying having more girls around. Mia wanted to play with her and I think it will fun for her, however she still is not herself, is on medications and needs to remain calm for a few weeks. As for Betty Boop she surprised me and excepted it a lot better than when Mia first arrived, guess she getting use to it. So far day one went great.

Yellow Band-Aid

Our little Mia has been ill since last weekend; she’s been diagnosed with a condition that normally does not strike such a small breed. Today was another emergency visit to the Vet. We are fortunate to have such a good Dr. for our little ones. He quickly returned my call and met us at the clinic within a half hour to treat Mia and get her comfortable. Even though it’s Super Bowl Sunday if Mia needed his attention again I was to call him right away. That’s what I call a compassionate and dedicated doctor. Mia was given several injections and I have some oral medication I can give her should she need it. She is now resting quietly and doesn’t want me out of her sight; we are all hoping (including the Dr.) that this condition will not continue, as it has us all very puzzled.
