It’s been a while since I last updated this blog. There is not enough time in the day to do much now. I have been spending a lot of my time outside since the evenings are not as warm as in the afternoons. Been doing the double whamy of walking these days. I will walk Chase and/or Cooper than Ranger and/or Cooper next. Ranger has been doing a very slow pace lately. Cooper at times is not getting enough from the slow paced walks with Ranger. Walks with Chase are much better. We go and hardly any snooping at all and it’s usually a 40 – 50 minutes walk every day.
Weekends are the worse of the lot. Saturday is just a waste of the rest of the evening as when I get home from Satay2Go, my legs need a rest so bad and to bed by 10 or earlier. Sunday is cleaning day and then any time I have is to spend with the boys.
Speaking of the boys, Ranger’s allergies which makes him itch so bad is making him extremely miserable now. The medication, Atopica we started him on worked well, but we cannot afford them for the long run. Since he is a big dog, the required dosage for him is burning a big hole in our, or I should say my pocket. Moreover, the side effect he had from taking Atopica was he almost went bald! He had hair fall of him in clumps. His hot spots have returned. I have been bathing him every week with a special anti bacterial shampoo. He will be itched free for the day until he gets out of the house to the yard. I know he should not roll on the grass and not let him out on the grass. But how can you not let your dog go outdoors and prevent him from rolling on the grass? Just can’t coz, he is a dog. Period. DB took him to the vet again this morning for more meds for his allergies, itching and now yeast infection in his ears. I have a gut feeling Ranger won’t be with us for long. The life span of a Lab is about 12-14 years. He is 9 now.
Then, we have Chasey boy. Looks like he is gonna stay with us for a while. I’m not sure if he is going back to his mommy and daddy. His daddy had a chat with DB on Sunday discussing when they should bring the boy home. Right now SD has to recover from her surgery of the birth of Ally plus getting the baby used to her new environment. I think we will be adopting Chase soon! Will have to see how it goes with SD and their situation. Here are couple of pictures of Ally, yes, pictures of her with her eyes opened!
Can’t believe it, she is already a week plus old, time is flying by! Ain’t she cute??
