Mom and kids took me to the vet yesterday. Mom told me that it was necessary because I was due for my yearly check up, but she didn’t tell me they were going to stick needles in me and squirt stuff in my nose. Even worse, they took my blood! Thankfully, the vet proclaimed me super healthy and safe for another year. When I was done with my appointment, Amy and Adam tried to feed me some treats they had there at the vet’s office. Let me just say, I was less than impressed. I only ate them because they kept sticking them in my face. They sure didn’t taste nearly as good as Mom’s treats!
Mom told me that I had to get my shots because she’s started volunteering at the Humane Society of North Texas. She was worried she might bring some germs home from the shelter with her and she wants me to be protected as much as possible. Mom went yesterday to volunteer, and it sounds like such a sad place for a sweet dog to end up. Mom says they have to live in cages, and they only get to get out for walks and love when volunteers come to visit them. Mom walked a Golden Retriever, an English Setter, two Basset Hounds, two Daschund mixes, a Chihuahua mix, and a Min Pin mix. She said the dogs loved to sit on her lap for rubs and kisses.
Here are a few of the dogs Mom visited yesterday:
I’m glad Mom got to give these sweet dogs some love, but even more, I hope they find a great home soon.

Did you notice I’ve been gone? It’s been two weeks since my last blog entry. The strangest thing happened to me - Mom made me into a dog for two weeks! GASP! Grandma came to visit, and she’s allergic to me. So Mom made me stay outside in the yard except when it was bed time. It was so foreign to me - being a dog. Thankfully, it was beautiful spring weather here in Texas so it was nice to spend time outside. I had fun playing like an actual (GASP!) dog. So I had two weeks of no clothes, no conversations with Mom, no riding in the car to get the kids from school, etc. I’m glad Mom had fun, but I’m so glad to be a real person again!
Oh, and Mom and Grandma spent a weekend in Canton, and they stayed at this really nice bed and breakfast. It’s called the Humphries House, and it was built in the 1890s. Mom told me the owner has a really cute Shitz Zu. She also told me that practically EVERYONE brings their dogs to Canton. I felt a bit left out…
If you ever need a place to stay while you shop in Canton, Mom raved about this bed and breakfast.
Here’s a couple pictures of where Mom and Grandma stayed. Mom looks awfully happy sitting on the porch in the warm weather.
Ack, Mom is kicking me off the computer. She says that she has work to do. I’ll post again soon!
