Pepper & Cartman

Remember I’ve been barking about the party we had?  Well there’s a lot more to bark about. Some people brought their own dog pack – three lady Labradors. My mom says they’re no ladies, but they are girl dogs.

Their boss used to be a photographer before he became something else. He sent us some really neat pictures. Look at Pepper having a close encounter with Cartman. The goats really like people and dogs. Well, they don’t like me  much cause I chase them back to their house. But the goats like to meet new dogs.

Dogs and Goats

Here’s Tess, Sherman and Maggie  chatting up Cartman and Leroy. It’s a waste of time. The goats don’t have much to say. They’re too busy eating everything in sight. It makes my mom so mad when she’s working around the goats. They grab her hair and pull the buttons off her jacket. Once they peed in my dad’s tool bucket. He’s still mad about that.

I gotta show you my favorite picture. It’s me and my ball. Notice all my paws are off the ground! That’s why they call me flyboy. If you click on a picture it will jump to a bigger view. That way you can see how high I was flying. See ya.

Jack

See how Jack’s eyes look? His eyes are kinda weird. That made us worry maybe he couldn’t see very well. Our regular vet said Jack has dry eyes. So Old Dog Haven paid for Jack to see an eye doctor in Bellingham.

Jack got to go for a long car ride with mom. They were gone most of the day. Jack loved it cause he didn’t have to share mom with the rest of us. He came home with red stuff around his eyes. He looked like he’d been crying red tears.

We got good news about Jack. He does have dry eye but there isn’t any damage to his eyeballs. He gets drops in his eyes twice a day for two months then once a day for two months. Then he goes back to the eye doc to see how he’s doing. I’m hoping to ride along with him next trip. Heard he got some special treat in the car on the way home.

Did you know dry eye problems can make a dog blind? The eye doc said it makes scars on the cornea and it hurts plenty. We’re all really glad Jack hasn’t been hurting. He doesn’t like the eye drops but he’ll do anything to please mom. It’s pretty silly. She shows him the eye medicine each time. Jack closes his eyes like it’s gonna hurt. Mom puts a drop in each eye and kisses him on his funny snout. Then Jack opens his eyes and kisses mom. Goofy, huh? Gotta run. That neighbor dog keeps barking her fool head off.

River

See River? He’s bigger than he was a few weeks ago. He came to a dog party we had on Sunday. There we so many dogs we had to count em to make sure nobody got lost. There were NINE dogs at the party! Everybody was grown up except River.

The big dogs chased River but he was so fast I was the only one who could catch him. Pretty soon the older dogs got real tired. This isn’t the best picture but it gives you the idea…..

Everybody had a good time. The three Labradors went home early. River and Wind stayed and played longer. Finally only River and I were playing. Even Tess had enough.

Mom was really happy because we went to bed early and didn’t pester her. The big guy was so tired the next morning he wouldn’t even eat his breakfast. I would have eaten it for him, but mom said no.

You oughta have a dog party once in a while. It’s always fun and sometimes you get a couple of neat pictures. Here’s my favorite picture from the party. It shows Wind looking serious. See ya.
