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.

Cassie , Zorro and the Red squirrel!
Cassie and Zorro's Furmom came home one morning after running errands to find a Red squirrel in the middle of the living room! It was scampering all around and Cassie was chasing it around the room!
Some pictures were knocked down but nothing was broken. He must have gotten in through the window that the portable air conditioner hose is hooked up to.
Cassie really wanted to get that little squirrel, too bad she couldn't chase him out the door!
Furmom put Cassie outside, and opened all of the doors to the house to try to coax the little guy out of the house. He ran across the back of the stove in the kitchen before getting away. Early the next morning we could hear him in the basement so Furmom made a trail of dog food to lure him out of the basement door. The trail of food was left uneaten but he must have run out of the door because there have been no more noises in the house since then! Zorro was safely tucked away in his kennel during most of the excitement but was out some of the time.
What a fun doggie day they had that day, so much excitement!

A word on the weather from Cassie and Zorro
If you are in one of the states with the really hot weather right now, please keep your furkids in a nice cool house going out like we do only for short potty breaks. Make sure they have enough fresh water too.
Please don't leave your furkids in a hot car. Cars heat up very quickly when the temperature and humidity are so high. Thanks for taking care of your furkids like our "furmom" takes care of us.
Puppy kisses Cassie and Zorro. p.s. our furmom says thanks too!

Cassie and the company!
Cassie and Zorro had an exciting weekend last weekend!
My Brother , Niece and Nephew and Sister came to visit.
Cassie was so excited and nuzzled her head into everyone and wrapped her paws around my brother Mark to make sure he couldn't move! This has been something she has done for security reasons since she came here. It's funny to watch how affectionate she gets! She was very well behaved, actually the best she has ever behaved when company comes over. She didn't spin around the room and only jumped up once!
Zorro on the other hand, being an independent Peke, who behaves very much like a cat visited for awhile but only came when he wanted to visit. He was whining for out of his kennel when he heard new people were here. Cassie always curious did try to table surf looking for crumbs, but didn't get away with anything.

Cassie and Zorro's checkups
Cassie and Zorro had an exciting week this last week!
They went to see their Vet for their checkups.
Poor Cassie is still so afraid of going into the exam rooms that even her "Furmom" had a hard time coaxing her. Zorro was ok with going in until he noticed Cassie stopped so then he wasn't so sure either. Cassie was so afraid that she huddled herself into a corner, poor baby. Her Dr. had to carry her from the exam room to get her nails clipped and her shots. He carried all 55 pounds of her!
They both had great checkups and are very healthy!The Dr. said Cassie has a "Hollywood Smile"!Her teeth were cleaned over two years ago but are pearly White since her "Furmom" brushes them every day and Zorro's too. Both of them enjoyed meeting new friends in the waiting room. Zorro toddled up to a big Black Lab and wanted to play. His owner was surprised that Zorro wasn't even a little afraid and was ready to play!
Cassie and Zorro both love car rides so even though Cassie was afraid she enjoyed the biscuits the girls gave her and the ride.

Zorro's trip to the groomer
Zorro had an exciting day last Saturday!
He went to the groomer. He was all excited and loved the lady that groomed him, feeling pretty comfy in her arms. He watched from inside a wicker kennel as we left , he was waiting for his turn.
He looks so handsome now and he knows it! He has a new do for Summer, a nice short "puppy cut"
He was excited to see us when we picked him up and strutted all around to show off a little!
When he got home, Cassie smelled him over more than once and ruffled her nose through his fur.
She kept checking to make sure this was "her Zorro" since he had a perfume like smell to him from the shampoo. She looked up as if to ask" What have you done with my Zorro?! This isn't the same dog that left here!" After being home a couple of more hours and some reassurance that this was HER Zorro she accepted him back into the pack once again. If pictures of Zorro's cool do for Summer turn out I will post them.
