It's Raining

Yesterday, January 28th, the temperature was 74 degrees and we were running around in tee shirts. It's still pretty warm today, but it's raining. We haven't had more than a light sprinkle of rain in months and we've had no snow to speak of, so this is wonderful. EXCEPT, I have two nine week old puppies that are progressing nicely with their training. This will be a setback because it's coming down too hard to get them outside as often as they need to go. Oh well, there are worse problems in life.

Sebastian didn't have surgery yesterday. When the doctor looked at the site of the injury, the place that's draining had scabbed over. It needs to be draining in order to do the procedure, so he came home and we'll wait till the pressure builds up again and it starts draining, then we'll rush him to the clinic and they'll fit him into the schedule. Rob felt bad for him and stopped for ice cream on the way home from the clinic. Sebastian has a dish of vanilla and thought it was wonderful.

The puppies are growing so fast. It seems like I can see a difference each day. Sydney is stretching out and getting long legs. She looks like a young dog now. She has a sweet disposition and loves to be held. She knows her name and likes the words "good girl". She wiggles when she hears those words. She looks a lot like a spaniel.

Mackenzie is still small and has short legs. She can't jump or climb like Syd, but she gets where she wants to go. I think she knows her name, but she ignores it most of the time. She love to roll in the grass and when you call her to come inside, she drops to the ground and starts rolling. She's tough and love to wrestle and play instead of eating or walking on a leash. She's going to be a handful.

We buy small size Milkbone biscuits for the pack and the other day Rob found some puppy Milkbones. I think they're so cute. Syd and Mac each get one at bedtime and they think it's a most wonderful treat. After just a couple days, they wait in their crate for their bedtime snack with tails wagging very fast. Puppies grow up too fast.
