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.

Cassie and the bumble bee
The weather has been nice and warm lately so Cassie and Zorro have been spending lots of time outside.
When I was taking Zorro out I noticed a bumble bee on the front steps that was flopping around.
Cassie likes snapping at flies and other bugs so I think she snapped at and "caught " the bumble bee.
I killed it since she was trying to get at it still, silly girl! Bees are something not to snap at!
I gave her a Benadryl pill in case she had an allergic reaction but thank goodness she didn't.
I also called the Vet office to ask about any other signs to watch for that she was allergic.
Sometimes Cassie's curiousity gets the best of her!

Zorro and his cone collar
Poor little Zorro!
He still has to wear his cone collar because he itches and chews on the area.
I talked to his Vet and told him I think he's allergic to his special food for his kindey disease.
He is back on his old food for one month to see if the itching and chewing stop. Furmom does take the "cone of shame" (I think that was from the movie UP! wasn't it?) off so he can eat and drink. If it's left off too long though he starts itching and chewing right away. Cassie poked her head in the cone to check on him but got scared and backed away! Silly girl! Hopefully soon the cone can come off for good!

Cassie and Zorro visit the Vet
Zorro kept licking on his right leg all day Sunday and Sunday night.
He also kept scratching because it itched. He managed to get it infected so Cassie and Zorro visited the Vet on Monday morning. Zorro is being a little trooper about having to wear a "cone collar" for the next two weeks so he won't itch the area and make it worse.His "Furmom" is giving him his antibiotics and putting antibiotic ointment on his sore. He gets to have the cone off for awhile for eating and drinking, just when you think you can trust him he goes right back to itching the area!
Cassie was so scared at the Vet office.She wouldn't even walk across the floor to get weighed. She met a new friend, a nice lady that let her up on her lap and gave her snuggles. Cassie didn't think her "Furmom" was helping her to escape seeing the Dr. for her blood test!
She lost her safety zone when the lady went to get her dog. It took the Vet and two helpers to draw the blood for Cassie's heartworm test! Even getting lots of treats didn't comfort her! Zorro got lots of treats too and they both got their heartworm pills. Theyt hought they were another treat since they are Beef flavored.
They also liked riding in the car on such a nice day! Cassie liked looking out the window but was really glad to finally be home again!
