Zorro's heart problem

Zorro was sleeping more than usual so Furmom called his Dr.
Furmom knows that since he will be 13 soon that older dogs do sleep alot!
His Vet wanted to examine him, and his heart problem is getting worse. He has always had a slight murmur, but he is more congested and his heart is getting weaker.
He went back for his recheck and the good news is that thanks to his extra dose of heart medicines he's back to his usual feisty self! He's playing more , jumping on Cassie's head , tugging on her ears and whiskers and stealing toys! He's lucky his best buddy is so patient and a gentle giant. Cassie will just gently nudge him with her nose to play, sometimes she will bark and jump at him too. Zorro of course gets right in her face and roars like a little lion! It's nice to see him back to normal!

Cassie and the chipmunk!

Furmom is starting to feel like Dr. Doolittle or like Wild Kingdom has invaded the house!
Cassie was napping all comfy in her favorite spot on her special mat one lazy Sunday afternoon when we heard a loud chirping sound! Furmom was watching tv and thought it came from the tv but no!
Running across the diningroom floor was a chipmunk! Cassie chased it into the bathroom where luckily one door was cxlosed , so Furmom quickly closed the other door! Furmom put Cassie outside and set out to trap the little guy and take him back where he belonged... outside!!!
Not an easy task! The little guy could really jump! Onto the counters, the towelrack and everywhere else!
Thank goodness he finally jumped in the clothes hamper and burrowed under the clothes because he was so scared. So, Furmom brought the clothes hamper outside and turned it over where he quickly ran and made his exit! He was just as happy as Furmom to be out!
Furmom has no idea how all of these critters are managing to get inside the house but hopes they will stay outside! That's what happens when you have wild animals all around and a woods too.
