Another week!

Well this week, the dogs are both being a little different. Sporty has been getting in trouble (what a shock!) Yesterday, after I left for school, he for on the kitchen table and ate all of the bacon while my mom was in the dining room! So yeah, she was a little upset about that. Harley However this week has been better than she normally is. She hasn't been getting into anything she's nOt supposed to or anything. I think both of the dogs have been a little under the weather this week, mostly because the weather can't make up its mind on whether or not it's going to be hot, cold, rainy or snowy. Bath time should be fun this week however because with all of the rain we have been getting, the backyard is getting a little muddy. Hurray for mud! Not! There isn't much else to say at the momemt about the hectic world I live in, so until next week! See you later alligators!!!

Allergies! Yay!!!!

So as you can see, this week is all about the allergies. Sporty is allergic to the dog food that we have been feeding him for oh, a year now! The vet told us this two weeks ago, and we have since changed the food, from Kibbles and Bits to Purina Dog Chow! Guess who has to feed Harley by hand? Yep, I'm guessing you guessed this girl right here!!!! If you didn't you should have, cause I just told you I do haha! But yeah, I had to feed Harley by hand for a week. Fun times in this household!!!
That's all for this week! Until next time! :) See you later!

Nails done, Hair done, Everything did!!

Today, Sporty and Harley have to go to the vets office, for their check up and to get their nails clipped. Sporty loves the vet, as I have said in previous posts, Harley on the other hand, well that's a different story. She loves going on car rides, so getting her in the car and out to the vet is no problem, it's getting her inside the office that's tricky. The last time we went with Sporty, she walked right in like nothing was wrong. Then she realized she was in there and everything was fine. Well the reason we have to go to the vet, obviously is because they both need nails clipped. The last time we went to get nails clipped Harley grabbed hold of the vets hand with her paw and made him bleed.  Harley-1 Vet-0. Well this time aught tobe different, she seems a little more calm. Ha-ha, who am I kidding, one can only hope.  Harley and Sporty both got a bath last night so they look and smell amazing! Well, as amazing as a dog can look and smell. So hopefully everything goes well and nothing goes haywire. Once again, one can only hope! Until next week!

Long Time No See!!!

Hello there. Again!
Well I now have to blog again for a class, this time its different! I have to write anything, about everything. I have to write ten sentences and its due every week! Well I got to use this one again, because its definitely easier. I am thinking of creating a new blog, I'm not sure about what yet, but I will still be using this one to write about my dogs! Just an update, Sporty, the pit bull is more spoiled than ever, and Harley, the boxer is large and in charge!  Although I have been having problems with Sporty, EATING my MATTRESS! Yes, you read that right, my mattress. I've heard of pit bulls chewing on mattresses before, but I've not ever thought that it would happen to me! My mom wasn't too happy when she found out that I was going to need a new mattress, although my dad laughed a lot, because he says every time Sporty chews a little more into the mattress, he's helping me get a new mattress quicker. However you look at it, I don't enjoy have a hole in my mattress until I can get a new one. Yippee, sounds fun right, mattress shopping, just what a seventeen year old wants to do on her weekends, mattress shop! More to come soon!

Why hello there... Again!!!

Well, I haven't been on here since last year, mostly because my class is over, and I don't blog about anything else, but I thought I would come back and just start again, maybe not weekly, but anytime that I really get the chance to or anytime I think of something to put on here! An update to come soon!

Well than!

So this week we have already had multiple catastrophies.

New Carpet in Living Room = BIG PROBLEMS

As you can tell we got new carpet in the living room and well my mom decided that she was going to make sure that the dogs couldn't get in the living room. I don't really enjoy the fact that the dogs aren't allowed into the living room
We have those baby gate things and my mom thought that she was going to be able to keep the dogs out of the living room by putting baby gates, lets put it this way, baby gates don't really equal dogs staying out of the living room it ends up with the dogs knocking the baby gate over in order to get into the room. Well than you get my mom mad that the gates got knocked over but than they didn't really listen. But now they understand that they get scolded if they don't stay in behind the gate.
Sporty isn't a dumb dog and he realizes why they don't call it the puppy dog face for nothing. He likes to make my mom upset by "talking"(barking in a low bark). When he talks, he acts like it is a real conversation. I think that it makes him seem more human. My mom gives into things that Sporty does, because when Sporty talks he usually gets his way, in this case he got to go into the living room and be in there for the rest of the night.
That leads me to another reason that I don't enjoy the fact that the dogs aren't allowed in the living room. One night, we had them in the front room seperated by the baby gates. I was doing my homework and once I finished I went to bed. Well, since I was super tired I forgot that the dogs were in the front room. I didn't realize that I had forgotten them until I woke up the next morning. Well my parents weren't too happy that I had forgotten my own dogs also. I got in trouble with my mom for not taking them outside during the night. "You know that is your only true responsibility, taking care of your dogs. I can't believe you forgot them..." Long story short. The baby gates are down adn I didn't get in trouble.
Another thing that happened this week is that the dogs both got in trouble for eating... No I don't mean that they got into trouble for eating random things throughout the house. The dogs both have been eating random pieces of wood that goes to different things throughout the house. For example, Harley went and chewed on the end of my bed. She's almost seven years old. I can't believe that a seven year old dog would actually chew on a random piece of furniture like that. Okay, I would understand if she were like two years old but really? Seven years old and still chewing on some random furniture. Sporty is no better he found out that he can chew on his bandana after he gets it off of his head. Well, I don't necessaraly like picking up random pieces of things that have bite marks all over them.

Earaches, Sickness, and Pottiers Oh My!!

Sporty has a reoccurring ear infection, his vet says that it is probably going to happen every year and to just give him medicine until it gets better. Woo! Who likes cramming a pill down a dogs throat in order for it to get better? No one! Unfortunately though, my dog has figured out that if you come home from the vet and give him cheese, than you obviously have put something in it. Smart dog, and don't even start on hot dogs, he figured that out last year. He eats around the pill and then spits the pill out on your lap, as if to say, "You didn't really think that was going to work right?" Some times I wonder about him, if he really is as smart as he comes off to be. The pill isn't the only thing that I have to give him, ther is also the fantastic tube of this creme that I have to stick down his ear. To make matters worse, this tube has an extended cap that you have to put down his ear. I wish that it was easier and wasn't so time consuming. Well, at least this year, he is used to it and lets me put it down his ear. Last year, the poor little thing hated getting this tube down his ear and yelped like he was dying everytime. So, I guess compared to last year, so far this earache is better. In a lot of ways this year is better than last with his ears. For example, last year he would wake up at midnight and start scratching at his ear, well when he would scratch his ear, it would start to bleed. The vet said that he probably had popped a vessle. Well than he would start to yelp because he was in pain obviously, and when he yelped, he would wake me up. It got to the point where I would have to sleep while holding a washrag over his ear. I don't know why but for some reason it made him feel better. Well at least he would get to sleep easier.  So I am glad that this year it is easier than last. Another thing that is different from last year is that Sporty now has a hat that he wears outside at all times. Its red and really soft. It was originally my moms but she decided that he needed it more, so she put it on him and he won't go outside without it.
Also this week, everyone in the house has a cold, even the dogs, well Harley at least has a cold. She also has been getting sick this week. She got sick today and my mom had to clean it up which was kind of funny because since I wasn't home, I didn't have to. At my house, since the dogs are my dogs, they are my chores. Which means that when they throw up, I have to clean it up. Unless, I am at school or not at home. Luckily for me Harley got sick while I was at school, so I didn't have to clean it up.
Another thing that happened this week was that Harley keeps going to the bathroom in the house and tries to get Sporty in trouble for it. Well my mom knows that Sporty usually doesn't go to the bathroom in the house. Luckily, Harley finally got caught in the act this afternoon and my mom got mad at her and so she didn't get any treats after dinner.
Well thats all I have for this week, Happy Early Thanksgiving!
