Sunday Selfie

I'm glad I got to bring home one of the BPD cameras! I've been practicing at home!

Please say YES!

I really wanted to do it up in true Scottie style, but it's been a long week (already) and Mom said we needed to get a move on or I would miss my chance!

Finley, I would love to take you to the dance. I will be waiting by the yaptop for your reply.

Waggies,

Braeden

Update on Braeden

First of all, a BIG Thank You to everyone for their comments, support and POTP for Braeden! He was able to come home tonight! We are still watching him like hawks, but he seems to be doing well having been so sick! He's a bit subdued, although a little restless, and seems happy to be home. He still has the catheter in his leg for the IV, but it doesn't appear to bother him.

Braeden is allowed to have a tablespoon and a half of food every hour and a half. He's on a low fat food, and he is tolerating it well. Honestly, it doesn't look very appetizing, but you would think he was feasting on prime rib! After 36 or so hours without food, we suppose anything tastes good. He's drinking water, but is having a bit of trouble with cone interference BOL That's probably more my fault than anything else. We haven't had much experience with the Cone of Shame.

We have an appointment with the dogtor at 8 am tomorrow. If all goes well tonight they will remove the catheter and let him come home. He will be on a restrictive diet to help prevent any more occurrences. A small price to pay to keep him healthy! We are very grateful to have such a wonderful dogtor and staff take care of Braeden.

Braeden wants to tell you that he has agreed to let me post pictures of him if he could watch Animal Planet tonight.  So here goes…looks like it's gonna be an exciting evening of TV watching!

This is humiliating. Can we decorate it? Like you would sign a cast?

This is where my catheter is. I think red was a great choice of color, but I hope they take it off tomorrow

Sometimes ya just gotta put your paws up and relax. It's a great night for Animal Planet.

Thanks again for all your well wishes! It means the world to us!

POTP Please

It's been a rough weekend for us here at Scottie Shenanigans. It began Friday night when Braeden went to the vet. Turns out he had a pretty bad ear infection related to allergies. He came home with Posatex and Prednisone to treat the infection.

Saturday morning started off fine. Breakfast, Trifexis, Lunch, Prednisone, Posatex, Dinner (and a few treats for good measure). So far, so good. On Sunday we started again minus the Trifexis. After a late lunch he threw up. Okay, so that happens sometimes, right? Of course, he was drinking quite a bit of water which I attributed to the Prednisone, so I figured he had overindulged in the water bowl. Dinner came about 8:30. 10:30 more throwing up. He drank more water. 11:45, yep more throwing up. By this time I had become quite concerned. He's never been a puker. I honestly can't say how many more times this happened throughout the night. Maybe three? Four?

At 7:15 this morning I coaxed him to the car (okay, so maybe I carried him). He was quite subdued on the car ride, laying in the seat. Braeden loves car rides, once you get him in the car so by then I was sure there was a serious problem. The vet opened at 7:30. No appointment, no problem. I was able to talk with the vet tech and give her the rundown and written sequence of events. She suggested they do a blood workup but would have the dogtor call me if he recommended anything else. Within the hour, the dogtor called. Pancreatitis. Elevated blood levels. They would do an x-ray to rule out other problems and start him on IV fluids. Thankfully the x-rays came back normal. No growths, no enlarged organs. So pancreatitis it is. Braeden will be in the hospital at least overnight and through the day tomorrow. I considered bringing him home overnight and taking him back in the morning for more IV treatments, but with all the activity around here, I decided it was best if he had some quiet and could get some rest. Not to mention he was pretty ticked off when Seth ate this morning and he didn't get any food. I couldn't do that to him twice in one day!

 The dogtor is going to call this evening with an update. Hopefully there will be improvement from this morning. Please take a moment to send some POTP through the airwaves to Texas. Braeden and I would very much appreciate it.

PeeS...Braeden asks that you not judge the blanket. He had already thrown up on the two "good" ones. This was all we could find. And yes, those are Scottie sheets. He knows you won't judge those. BOL

Meh Monday

This was not how I expected to spend the next 14 days. The cone of shame is the result of my little procedure on Friday. I will say, this cute little accessory is much better than that big ol' plastic thing. Now THAT was a disaster! I'm okay, this is just the aftermath of being subjected to the ol' snip-snip. Yep, they took my manhood away. But that's okay. I'm a responsible pup. And I'm still a cutie. And I'm being treated like a king. But that's not unusual. I'm getting extra treats and snuggles, since I can't romp with Braeden and Seth. It's all good. Don't I look good in teal?

Inauguration Day!

Junior Officer Riley reporting for duty! Today is my first day on the job as a Junior Office and I am so excited to part of The Doodz Inauguration!

I've been working all day getting my furs just right, and my pawsome new Junior Officer Police Cap polished and looking pawfessional. I hope I can impress my new boss, Top Cop Sidebites. He's a seasoned pawfessional, and I want to make him proud of me! Here he is in charge of communications. Whoa doggies, I gotta get some of those official looking Ray-Bans!

I've been assigned crowd control and security for the big event today. I'm working with some pawsome  Officers today! Officer Sully is piloting the Blogville Police Department helicopter. One day I hope to fly in Chopper 1with him.

Officer Abby is responsible for making sure I get things right. I have to keep…..What's that? A disturbance at 7th Street and Blogville Way? We have to head out now? 10-4 I'm ready to rock and roll! OMD my first ride in an OFFICIAL Blogville Police Car! Woo-hoo! I'm ready to put my training to the test! Put the pedal to the metal Officer Abby. Let's get these guys!

Can you believe the ba… (sorry, hehe) nerve of these interloping, mischief causing squirrels? Trying to disrupt the Doodz inauguration? Well, we got 'em! We took 'em down before they knew what hit 'em!

We rounded 'em up and loaded 'em in the transport. Police Commissioner Sarge really knows how to deal with the criminal types!

I'm headed back to do surveillance and crowd control with the rest of the Officers. After I find my Junior Officer Police cap. It flew off when Sully landed Chopper 1. I hope I don't get demerits for that.

Another exciting day in Blogville, protecting and serving our great Community!

Junior Officer Riley, over and out.

Dory's Pawty - The Big Day!

Today is the Big Day - Dory's Pawty! We have been waiting forever! We have been working on our manners because we are taking two of the most pawsome gals in Blogville! We wanted to show them a really great time, but all of the sleighs were rented and we could not get one.  Looks like The Slacker She blew it again. But…enough of that. Look who we are taking to the pawty!

I (Braeden) am taking Finley to the pawty! Isn't she just adorable in her Christmas outfit and antlers? Finley is a real Southern gal and very charming. And what style! She really dresses to impress! I am just beside myself that I get to take such a great gal to the pawty!

=

I hope you like these yellow roses, Finley! I thought they were perfect because you are a beautiful yellow rose from Texas!

I (Seth) will be attending Dory's pawty with Hailey! I just know we are going to have a pawsome time! I think Hailey is just the cutest pup! And I love those snowman pajamas! I definitely think that blue is her color! I hope I make it in time to pick her up for our date because it's a long way from Texas to Canada! That sleigh and a few reindeer would have come in handy *ahem - Mom* Maybe we will just arrive fashionably late BOL!

Braeden thinks he is the only one who can impress a girl! BOL! Hailey, I picked these red roses out just for you! They are so pretty and I thought they would look great with your blue snowman pajamas! 

And we hope you girls don't mind, but She said Riley has to go with us or we can't go to the pawty! HE We promise he will be good and not get into mischief. And since he's on the list with Her, we are sure he will be on his best behavior! Right, Riley?

Yo, Puppy! You better hide that before She sees you, or you won't be going anywhere, cute or not!

Okay, okay. Sheesh. I'm ready to go.  Let's PAWTY!

Hope to see you at Dory's!
