Okay ...
Guys, I'd like you meet someone special! My one and only little Labrador...Courtney!
I tried to put in a picture last time but it screwed up the whole thing, all the words went missing.
So...It started about 8 years ago, when we adopted my canine little sister. We had just moved into a new house and were settling in. This was our first and only dog and she was as cute as can be.
We started out by putting up baby gates and having her sleep in the kitchen, cause that was the only room that we could contain her in. She used to cry and sulk all night until some one came to her and told her that everything was gonna be alright.
After a while we kinda got sick of her crying all night, so we put her in my room that I shared with my older sister. My sister refused to have Courtney sleeping on her bed and pooing and peeing all over her, so I volunteered, poo and all.
As you can imagine, it would be kind of hard to clean up her business off the carpet, so we had newspapers all over our room and a baby gate barricade.
Later, after she had been "house broken", we neutered her. I think it may have been a bit early 'cause she'd pee whenever she'd get excited. So, we started giving her a bladder control medicine called 'Propalin'.
As years went by she became more lazy, needy, and fat. But in 2007 we got some depressing news... our baby has degenerative arthritis in her elbows. After going to many vets, we got told that she may only have a year left before she has to be put down. Then we finally found a sane one, that said she was good for the long term. So she takes two more medicines now: a pain reliever (ilium meloxicam), and something to help her with movement (joint guard).
Just Recently, she got an infection in her mouth. So, at the time, she was taking four medicines. She had to take a tablet, so we smothered it in Peanut Butter and gave it to her. She'd sit there for a ages licking her lips and trying to get the stuff off of the roof of her mouth because of how thick it was. But the infection went away, so she doesn't take the tablets anymore.
It's funny to see her reaction when I say "Brush the Baby's Teeth!?". The look in her eyes just says "Yes, yes, oh GOD! YES!". She is so silly... I use a regular toothbrush and kids toothpaste (the really yummy flavored ones).
She's not like other dogs, she thinks she's a lap dog (she sits on your lap, and she's very heavy).
She likes things that most dogs don't: she loves the vet, she loves baths and she loves being brushed.
If you say any of the following words, she'll get super excited (we have to spell them out so that she doesn't know): walk, bath, brush the baby, brush teeth, vet, toast, Vegemite, peanut butter, food, feed, carrot, ice cream, dinner, play, ball, bed, sleep, ni-ni (bedtime), and many more that I can't think of right now.
She's right next to me now, snoring and making clicking noises...>_<
Until next time...
