Behind the Scenes

Today I’m going to take you behind the scenes at Casa de Pulga. While I’ve been having fun writing about American Leopard Curs and all natural, grown and made in the USA treats, stuff has been happening here. IN MY HOUSE. Lookit –

Cute Brussels Griffon — Scout, the Affenpinscher, came over and just hung out for the day. I only gave him one Sausage Stick. Pinkie promise. Just one.

Yeah. That’s Scout. Do y’all remember Scout, the Affenpinscher, from a couple months back? His mama asked me to pup sit for the day on Monday. I thought Hunny would fall in love and beg for an Affenpinscher.

Alert and ready for action — He’s an alert little dog, barking at everyone who came in the room. Such a cute bark!

He totally did. Hunny has been scouring the adoption sites all week. None of the adoptable local Affenpinschers are good with kids. 🙁

But that’s okay. We have our own lovely non-lap dogs all the time. Patches is Hunny’s favorite.

An Aussie plays Yoda on the small screen — Wise she is. Soft she is. Shedding she is.

For good reason. Hunny loves Yoda. And I love them both.

Waiting for Jones chews — My two all-time favorite dogs, waiting for Jones taffies from Mama

What’s not to love? Since yesterday was National Love Your Pet Day, or something, the two of them got more treats than usual. Chicken Liver Taffy, Beef Liver Taffy and Sausage Sticks were the treats of the day. I swear, I could teach my nearly twelve year old dogs to sing, dance and drive the car just using Jones Natural Chews as motivation.

Also, yesterday, Squatch had his follow up visit to the doctor.

The long and the short of it ... — See why we call him Squatch? A behind the scenes look at the size of doctor’s offices today.

The doctor says his lungs sound good. No snap, crackle or pop. Blood oxygen is good. She prescribed an inhaler for the short term, and said to treat him like an asthmatic. In other words, stay in the house here in Tulsa right now. This time of year the wind blows in all kinds of natural and artificial pollutants. And truthfully, Squatch was a little disappointed. He was planning on taking up smoking soon.

Now, just breathe nice and deep — He’s a sassy child, my Squatch. I’m glad they did another breathing treatment, though. He was trying to blow smoke rings …

She says he’ll live. Then I took the dogs with me to the pharmacy to pick up the inhaler. The pharmacy tech (drive-thru) gave me a dog biscuit for each of them. I don’t think Flash ate his. Patches hesitated. I thought she wouldn’t eat hers, either. But she’s a lady and well-mannered, so she took what was offered, reluctantly. Made me laugh.

They’re spoiled, my dogs are. Jones is really the only chew they want or get. Makes my heart happy. 🙂

What makes your heart happy? What makes your dogs smile? I mean, I know how to make dogs smile, but really happy? What makes your dog happy behind the scenes?

Smiling puppy — I couldn’t help myself. I had to throw in a smiling puppy photo. This dog wasn’t smiling because I’d given him treats. He was smiling just because he was standing next to his mama.

And that’s a wrap! Y’all have a great weekend!

Until I write again …
