Arnie went back today for the last of his medications and hydration. He is like a different dog tonight and I am so pleased with his recovery! I have made him a special pot of chicken and rice food for the next few days and he really likes it.
As I write he is sitting here next to me chewing on his favorite bone, acting like his old self. I think the worst is over and he is on the mend!
The puppies can hear! For those who do not know, puppies are born with their ears fused shut. They are deaf. About the time that their eyes open their ears also open. Today when I went into the puppy room to say good morning, feed Anneliese and weigh the babies, I called out good morning and the puppies all stirred! It was awesome. Later in the day when they were all asleep I went in and clapped my hands and they all responded.
Also on the growth chart was the fact that when Anneliese jumped into the puppy box today the puppies all SAW her and with their eyes followed her to the other side of the box where she lay down and nursed them all.
So many changes in their short lives!
My sister Melodie, and my mother will arrive here on Sunday for three days. I have so many things planned and puppy time is definitely on the program! My sister takes such great pictures that I hope she can get a few of me with my grand-puppies!
My yard is full of beautiful fruit blossoms right now.
Apples, pears and plums. The Cherries are past and the peaches will be next week. But it is lovely and I have been enjoying the flowers.
My vegetables are also doing well. My seedlings (cucumber, summer squash, zucchini, and butternut squash), all sprouted and I’ve purchased tomato, eggplant, brussel-sprouts and pepper plants. The green house is just full! I just love the anticipation of July and August vegetables!
Ah yes. Life. Today was a good day. Have a great weekend everyone!
Good to know that Arnie is like his old self again!
It must be like a miracle to watch them grow and develop day by day. How exciting – thanks for sharing with us!
I can tell from the pic that you are a couple of weeks ahead of us in south east Norway 🙂
Happy Weekend to you too!
How wonderful that the pups are doing so well and that Arn ie is recovering. He is a hardy little guy. Love the pics of spring flowers, too. They are what I miss about the North, not fall leaves. Carol
Oh it is so exciting when you get to see them grow and change, hear and see mommy 🙂 Your trees are flowering beautifully…Arnie is better. life is good!
Can’t wait to get there! I’ll take loads of pictures and we’ll just relax and have fun! Love YOU, Mel
So now you have to be careful not to sneeze to loud, otherwise they will fall out of their basket, lol !
The flowers are gorgeous !
You have a lot of vegetables in your garden, I don’t have the green thumb for that !
Ohhhhh I bet your yard is just absolutely GORGEOUS right now! I would like to just sit outside and stare at it’s beauty for hours!
Wow! I’m glad Arnie is recovering well. And its amazing that the puppies ears are now open! I had no idea they were born deaf. So great to hear that everyone is healthy and happy.
Happy Trails
