I'm Adopted!

Guess who found a fabulous new home over in Seattle?  Little Susie will be heading to her new home this Sunday with a wonderful couple... Yeah for Susie!  She's just the sweetest little thing and I know will do great with her new family! 

Gimme More Toys!

Susie loves to play and loves little squeaky toys... She also loves dragging out the toys and I think watching me put them back and then we play the whole game over again... I also would like to know, how did I get so many dog toys?  I really have to put some away, but you never know which one a new dog will like... Susie.. she likes them all!  But squeaky ones the best! 

Helping herself to the toy box to find the best one!

and the squeaky flea wins!  (it's almost as big as her!)

New Outfit for Susie!

Poor little Susie is such a tiny thing... The smallest sweater I had, as you can see, was way to big for her and it's so chilly outside - so I headed out and braved the Black Friday sales and...

found an outfit that will not only fit her, but on sale for 5.00 bucks!  Now she will be warmer when she goes out for her snowy potty breaks and stylin too :) 

Visiting Friends and Going to the Vet

Took Susie over to my friend Amber's house for a visit and some socialization... while she mainly hid from the big dogs, she did come out for treats!  She also ran right over to Amber's husband Nate and hung out with him until he left for work, she really liked Nate alot.   They also have a 6 year old daughter and Susie was a little shy of her, though took a few pets from her and no growling.  I think in time, they will be buddies... Susie just needs some warm up time...

She also went her for heartworm testing yesterdayand man, she was scared!  poor thing... probably thought she was going back to the shelter... But we got it done and got her microchipped and back home...

She is also getting braver with Sasha and they've had some hysterical (to me at least) growl downs at each other... and she has been edging closer to Sasha's food during eating time... Susie eats FAST so she is always done before Sasha and has been coming over to check out Sasha's bowl... Today too, Sasha got ahold of an empty plastic down that has a bit of sauce left over it and guarded it for about an hour with Susie coming by every 10 minutes or so and barking at her... Sasha actually fell asleep with her foot on the tin, she was so detemined not to share..

Susie Burrito!

not a fan of the burrito!

Snow Buddies

Sasha and Susie

Welcome to Yakima little one... and the snow!  Susie has had to go potty and go walking in the snow... she's not a huge fan, but she did pretty good with the occasional begging to be picked up... She also meet the neighborhood kids - about 5 of them and was a bit scared of them but when I got them to come one at a time and slow - she accepted a few pats from them and one got a little kiss on the hand. 

 

 

 

 

She found a place with no snow!

Glad to be back inside where it's warm!

Feelin' Good!

Nothing like a Red Barn bone to make you feel better!  Susie is doing great and is already back to her old self... I keep having to catch her before she jumps up or down on things! She's a fast little thing...  Her stitches don't seem to be bothering her at all and it's more of trying to keep her mellow than her feeling bad... And she loves her pink medicine so no problems giving it to her which is nice. 

Spay Day and Snow Day!

Last night, since it was the last day for a few days that Susie would be feeling up to jumping around, I got a video of her learning sit and also her little dance when she sees the treat bag!  She reminds me of a meerkat!

She had her spay today and did very well though she is very groggy and tired... She weighs an official 10.02 lbs.  She also got home and had to go out in about 1 inch of snow to potty but she did and even wandered around a bit before heading back in to get warm. A couple of days of recovery and she should be back to her ol' self.
