Cassie's time out

Sometimes big dogs need time outs when they are naughty just like little girls and boys.
Cassie has been a naughty girl this last week and "furmom" had to put the baby gate up for her time out!
I think Cassie must have Spring fever, just like we do, after having to spend too much time inside during the Winter.
When Cassie wanted to go outside she played a naughty game of chase.  She would pretend she was ready to come inside but then would run away when her "furmom" told her it was time to come inside!
I think she just wanted to spend more time in the fresh air and sunshine. She also snuck into the kitchen and ate Zorro's food , after she had her own so she had 2 breakfasts and a very full tummy!
Cassie didn't like her time out and whined behind the gate. I hope this week she will listen and behave, she will get outside time more because the weather is supposed to be warm this week.

Cassie is like Tigger!

Sometimes Cassie is just like Tigger from Winnie the Pooh!
It's like she has a spring in her tail as she bounces all around! One night this week she was especially bouncy and jumped up fast on the bed to snuggle! Zorro was already on the bed with "furmom" and Cassie was a little too fast and excited for him. He got in her face and barked and growled at her! Sometimes Cassie doesn't know her own strength and was putting her paw near Zorro. She tried to make it up to him by giving him puppy kisses but he just snuggled up closer with "furmom".
Zorro hurt his eye, and we don't know if it was from when Cassie got a little too carried away or if it was when he was being tucked into his kennel for the night and bumped the side of his face on his kennel. Since he's almost 13 which is old even for a little dog he has trouble seeing at night.
He will have to have special eye drops 2 times a week for 2 weeks, and if his eye isn't better he will have to go back to his Vet. Thankfully his eye is just bruised.
