Life with the Three Crazy Dogs

Chasey boy is back at our house this morning.  He will be here for a few days.  BF went for a wrist surgery and will not be able to care for him.  So, DB brought Chasey bud home and, boy, was he a firecracker.  He was out running the yard probably a few rounds.  DB said when he got in the house, he was running around the house before DB even had the chance to take his collar off.  That poor fella must be deprived of his space, I guess. 

SD sent a picture of him taken last night with him laying next to his rawhide.  Not sure why he was moping over at SD’s place.  Yes, they have a small townhome, but that should not be a problem for him.  He goes nuts when SD and BF come visit us.  So, why was he not drinking water, like a “sun seen”, ate a little, gave him his usual carrots and apples but he didn’t want them, spit it out and laid the apple next to him, not touching it, and his tail was not wagging – always down.  Was not interested in his usual rawhides.  What was his problem? 

When I got home this afternoon, I could hear him bark by the door to the garage and then his usual whining.  As soon as I opened the door, bang, he was right there, whining, and trying to jump on me.  Strange, man.  He was behaving so weird at their place, as if he is depressed, but from a dog?  He is like a human, a kid. 

Right now he is sleeping and snoring at the same time.  As usual, I took him for his walks and let him run free at the school field.  He was running like he just “fong kaam”, non stop, back and forth between me and wherever he was running to.  Good thing about him is after a certain distance, he will come right back to me.  Then into the trails we went.  Same thing, he was running up the trails and back to me and disappeared for a few seconds and reappeared, all huffing and puffing. 

I am not sure when he is going back to SD’s and if he does, I hope he won’t mope anymore.  I felt so bad when DB told me he looked depressed.  We shall see how it goes with this little guy.

The temperature today is perfect to do any remaining yard work.  Tomorrow is even going to be better – forecasted to be in the lower 60’s.  Hubs has already set the day to get the outside stuff done – caulk the gaps between the dryer vent and boards, the outside of the windows and the holes the woodpecker(s) was pecking where there is now a big hole right above the front of the garage.  Dang peckers!  I see a lot of the neighbors are cleaning up their yards and gardens today.  Even my company is doing some sort of winterizing this afternoon.  The facilities folks were busy around the buildings replacing industrial knobs, depressurizing the sprinklers and cleaning up the flower beds.   The cold weather will be here very soon.

So What – Pink, this song has been in my head since last Friday and I’m still NaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNa…….

While NaNaNa-ing away, I changed the template of my blog with a scruffy looking template.  Not sure if I really like it yet.  You say nice or not?

The forcasters were right this time around.  Three different stations weather men said it will snow today, well, it did.  Of course none of them stuck to the ground.  The ground is still warm but the temperature is gonna drop tonight to the lower 30’s to the 20’s.  Yeh, nice cold weather for me and a hard frost coming up.  Pretty soon I will be bringing Ranger into the trails for his walks.   I know, I’m nuts to love the cold weather.  My boss is already planning for a vacation in December to South America, somewhere warm and toasty, she said.  She, her hubs and another 2 more couples bought one of those Brazil vacation packages.  She is so getting into my nerves!

He is having separation anxiety.  He puked his dinner when he went back to SD’s home. 

When he left our house, he was a fire cracker, an energizer battery.  Happy and whining a little coz he wanted to go for a ride.  He went into the car albiet a little skeptical.  We said goodbye to him and I did feel a little sad to see him go.  I wish I can read what dogs are thinking.  Anyways, SD texted DB saying Chase puked and not drinking his water.  Didn’t do anything at all.  We thought he would get around the next day.

The whole day today he didn’t do much, didn’t whine, still didn’t his water, not sure if he ate his breakfast, didn’t poop nor peed.  The poor thing is sad.  SD said he looks sad.  He laid on the floor not doing anything.  BF took him out for a long walk and came back still looking sad.

I think Chase misses DBs and me, or he misses being outside the yard whenever he wants, or he misses Cooper.  Will have to give him a few more days to get use to his new living environment.  Poor guy.
