I also have lots of information and products about American Eskimo Dogs.Casperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17822251317224414098noreply@blogger.comBlogger316125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12538472.post-88267208781146106572012-08-21T18:03:00.000-07:002012-08-22T18:15:45.073-07:00Casper Has Passed Over To The Rainbow BridgeThe light of our lives is gone. Casper went to the rainbow bridge Sunday morning. He never gave up but his body just was not strong enough. We are heartbroken beyond belief. He was the best boy anyone could ever hope for. We feel blessed to have had him but his time with us was just too short. I don't think any amount of time would have been enough. We are thankful we were able to bring him home. He was happy here and we did not want his last days to be in a hospital. Casper never wavered. He wanted his Mommie and Daddy next to him at all times and never gave up. His spirit and determination is an inspiration. We will never forget all the things he taught us. He is and forever will be our Superdog.<br />
<br />
To everyone, thank you for all the notes you have left for us via his Facebook wall, pm, emails, letters, cards, etc. It is a comfort to us and it is heartwarming to know how much he meant to you all. He was just so special and truly, he belonged to us all.<br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures of him during his last days. Always such a happy boy all the way to the end.<br />

He is currently confined to the hospital. Both his platelets and red blood count have dropped further. His legs were weak this morning and he did not want to eat or drink. The doctor said he has a high fever and an infection and his liver is failing so they are treating him at the hospital but we cannot bring him home.<br />
<br />
I am posting updates on his Facebook page. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/#!/casperddog1" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/#!/casperddog1</a>Casperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17822251317224414098noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12538472.post-49971760453025714922012-08-04T22:58:00.000-07:002012-08-04T22:59:50.915-07:00Superbark Gone!When I heard the delivery man ring the doorbell, I opened my mouth but instead of my usual Superbark only a pathetic sounding woof came out. Waahh! My Superbark is gone. This must be how Bolt felt like when he lost his powers coz of the styrofoam peanuts.<br />
<br />
I got a red spot on my belly today and the wound in my mouth and tongue are still there. I go for another bloodtest on Tuesday. I wish I can get better soon. I hate taking so much medication and don't like my mushy food and bad poopies. I have not been interested in my toys for days. Mommie promised to make me chicken and rice tomorrow. So that is something to look forward to.<br />
<br />
Both Mommie and Daddy are down with the flu so it's been a pretty gloomy household.Casperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17822251317224414098noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12538472.post-86380642230438484172012-07-28T07:33:00.001-07:002012-07-28T07:33:11.667-07:00The LookMommie has been training Daddy on how to prepare my meals and the new medication dosage and schedule. This morning, Daddy was in charge and Mommy did not supervise us anymore. Everything went fine. He carried me downstairs so I could potty, prepared and served my breakfast and gave me my medication. He checked me all over for bruising, red spots and bleeding. After breakfast, I felt like peeing again so signaled to him that I wanted to go out. He let me out but was not paying attention so I went back in and got his attention so he could see me peeing. Then I came back inside and asked for my treat. But instead he picked me up and carried me back to bed. I was so let down. The agreement is I pee outside, I get a treat. But he said I just had breakfast so no need for a treat. I think I should still get a treat coz I peed. It does not matter whether or not I just had a meal. I even made sure he saw me pee. So I gave Daddy the look. I stared and stared at him with my sad eyes to show him how let down I felt that he did not honor the agreement. Soon, the look started to work. He kept commenting to Mommie that I kept looking at him and it was making him guilty about not paying me my treat. All through the day he kept thinking of that look I gave him. Eventually he went to the petstore and bought me two bags of new treats to make up for it. Haha! The new treats are awesome! I am sure Daddy will never forget to reward me again.Casperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17822251317224414098noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12538472.post-73890980060771825042012-07-15T17:07:00.002-07:002012-07-15T17:07:42.151-07:00Spending More Time In My RoomAt night, I sleep in bed with Mommie and Daddy in their room and in the afternoons, I usually sleep on my doggie bed in the living room. I also have a room of my own which is portable. They got it for me for my barkday last year. These days, to enforce doc's orders for me to keep still, I am being imprisoned in my room for quite a bit. Sigh! It gets quite boring in there but at least I have my toys for company and I can still watch TV. It's very roomy in here and sometimes Mommie joins me to keep me company. There's just enough space for us. <br />
<br />
At least the cuisine is tops while I am temporarily incarcerated. Teehee! Mommie is soaking my kibble to make them soft and mixing in canned food and either pumpkin or cottage cheese. And I am getting cut up green beans for treats. Yummmmm!<br />

She gave it to me to help with my poops. To my horror, she cooked lasagna the other day and put cottage cheese in the alternating layers. I was aghast as I saw my cottage cheese supply being depleted. I thought the whole tub was for me. She says she just used that as substitute for pumpkin for my poops so I get some variety. <br />
<br />
That night, Daddy made up for it in a huge way. He had gone to the grocery and found my Frosty Paws Ice Cream. Yey for Daddies! I immediately recognized the box and tried to open it. Mommie let me have just a few licks. She said we should save it for when my tummy is all better.<br />

Yesterday, we got bad news from the doctor. My platelets are down to 12,000 and they are enlarged. Sigh! Doc is upping my medicine again to twice a day. Yuk!!! Now I have to stay in my room coz the orders are no moving. I am no longer allowed kibble or treats that are hard or abrasive as I have had spontaneous bleeding in my mouth, tongue and gums. Before my nose and eyes would bleed, too. Doc says I risk getting a cut if I take in anything abrasive coz I am not clotting due to the low platelets. Also Mommie has to look out for any signs of internal bleeding so poop patrol needs to be more up close. No fun for Mommie.</div>Casperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17822251317224414098noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12538472.post-73003935007226694352012-07-05T17:35:00.002-07:002012-07-05T17:35:52.154-07:00Sleeping BeautyI've been continuing to rest so no new adventures to report. My belly is almost back to normal. There are still a few areas that are orange. Not yet the normal pink my belly used to be. But no new bruises have appeared. Yipee! My gums are still pale and poop is still not good despite all the pumpkin and cottage cheese. But at least I get to enjoy eating such goodies. Someone suggested liverwurst to help me take my medicine. It's so tasty. So I gobble up the liverwurst and spit out the medicine so Mommie has to give me more of the good stuff until I swallow my medicine. Nyhahaha! <br />
<br />
I've been sleeping most of the time. Nothing much else I can do since I cannot go out and cannot play. So here's a bunch of napping photos. Mommie calls me Sleeping Beauty. Teehee! My favorite toys to sleep with are my gator and bear toys. They make good napping companions.<br />

I spent the 4th of July holiday at home. It wasn't too bad. I watched the fireworks on TV. I heard some firecrackers outside from time to time. But I was brave and did not get scared. Mommie is very proud of me. <br />

I did not want to eat my medicine. They taste so icky. When she tried to come around I would keep my face in the other direction. But eventually she was able to feed them to me. Yuk!<br />
<br />
<br />
It's no fun being sick. It has been a very boring week. Mommie won't let me play or take a walk. I keep bringing her toys so she will play with me but she said we cannot. My platelets are a now bit higher at 38,000. But the normal range is 150,000 to 400,000 so it is still way below what it should be. My bruise is getting better. Most of it has turned from black and purple to bright red to my normal pink. So only a few parts are still black and purple. Instead of walking, Mommie let me ride in the car to pick up Daddy from work yesterday. I was quite excited to be out of the house but fell asleep in the car right away. She even carried me to the car so there was no reason to be tired. Sigh! I guess I am really not in good shape. No improvement in poop quality either. Mommie is planning to go buy me pumpkin to help with that. In the meantime, I have to content myself with the only allowed activities watching tv and grooming my toys and parents.Casperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17822251317224414098noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12538472.post-40711887066393624122012-06-25T14:18:00.001-07:002012-06-25T14:18:26.628-07:00In Relapse AgainToday we had to go back to the doctor's to get another bloodtest. This time the doctor was able to confirm that I am in relapse. She is doubling the dosage and frequency of my meds. She thinks my body is confused to the point that even if there is no trigger I can go into relapse. And with the higher dosage, I'm gonna be thirsty and hungry all the time again and have to go potty so often again. It's so unfair! I just want to be healthy and play.Casperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17822251317224414098noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12538472.post-50350422815382470062012-06-21T10:34:00.001-07:002012-06-21T10:37:05.565-07:00Latest Doctor's Visit<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here I am at the doctor's office waiting for my turn. It was quite a long wait so Mommie snapped a few pictures of me. <br />

The doctor said I am very beautiful and that Mommie does a good job grooming me. Teehee!<br />

We left the doctor's office feeling good. No new issues to report except for my warts which the doc said was not a concern. My weight was good and everything looked ok based on the exam and poking they did. So just needed to wait for the blood test and urinalysis test results. But when I woke up the next morning, I had this giant bruise on my belly. Waaaah!!! That means platelets are low.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
When the doc called with my test results, she said PCV is good but confirmed that my platelets are low and spontaneous bruising is to be expected. Now I can't go for my walk or play. Mommie says I have to rest coz my platelets are down. Sigh!<br />

Check out the posts here of my abandonment at <a href="http://casperddog.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html">http://casperddog.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html</a>. Anyway, I was quite upset and when they came back they promised never to leave me again. But a couple of weeks ago, they broke their promise. Hmph! This time it was Daddy who had to go out of town for work. He had to go to New York. Mommie decided it was a good idea to go with him and meetup with my pal Ronak the Eskie. Initially I considered it betrayal most foul. To leave me to go visit another doggie. I was quite outraged. But then, I calmed down since I figured it was Ronak who is a dear friend of mine and if it was up to me, I'd want to go meet him, too. I could not go with them coz the hotel Daddy's office booked did not allow doggies and also Mommie was worried about how to take me on a plane since I am too big to fit under the seat and that I might get stressed coz flying is much different than riding in the car. Excuses! I think I could do it. I just need to try it. <br />
<br />
Anyway, they took me to the doggie store so we could get some yummy treats to bring to Ronak. I decided to make the most of it and pick out goodies for myself, too. Mommie was too guilty to stop me. Haha! I picked out a bag of goodies for Ronak and a bag of goodies for myself. And I got this alligator greenie to chomp on. <br />

It's so cute!<br />

Hmmm I wonder where I will start.<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VmoFjwkdT4o/T9aIBUO__QI/AAAAAAAACQY/_6yMJ1-Yp_I/s1600/IMG_0315.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" fba="true" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VmoFjwkdT4o/T9aIBUO__QI/AAAAAAAACQY/_6yMJ1-Yp_I/s320/IMG_0315.JPG" width="240" /></a><br />
So for the next few days, it was just me and Grandma. I waited by the door in case they would come home but eventually I'd see them on Skype and know it wasn't gonna happen. After we Skype I just go straight to bed and hope the next day will be the day they return. Sometimes I sleep with Grandma but sometimes I go to our bed and sleep on Mommie's side. <br />
<br />
On the other end of the country, Mommie met up with Ronak and his Mommie and spent the afternoon with them. Both Mommies still hope that one day Ronak and I will be able to meet in the fur. I hope so, too. Daddy joined them for lunch and after he got out of the office so he got to meet the East Coast version of myself. Teehee! Ronak was super excited to meet Mommie. He was barking a greeting to her and could not keep still. He was so hyper. Haha! He kept asking for more of the treats Mommie brought. They were a big hit with him.<br />

Isn't he cute?<br />

And of course Mommie took pictures of him from all angles.<br />

Ronak liked presenting Mommie with his beehind so she would give him a rubdown. He would do a cute little butt dance by slowly lifting one foot and then the other over and over while she gave him a rub just on top of where his tail is. <br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eObb9mzV8BU/T9YuH_4jO4I/AAAAAAAACKo/8wB8qe8BxyE/s1600/IMG_0296.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" fba="true" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eObb9mzV8BU/T9YuH_4jO4I/AAAAAAAACKo/8wB8qe8BxyE/s320/IMG_0296.JPG" width="240" /></a><br />

They took Mommie down to the waterfront where they spent a lazy afternoon. Here is Ronak enjoying the view.<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8GwoNfW7f9Q/T9YuOAeJ4DI/AAAAAAAACLQ/0NdCdQFUjWo/s1600/IMG_0304.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> </a><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Then they went to the doggie boutique to do some shopping. They also stopped for some gelato. I think Ronak wants some. <br />

Mommie said the food in New York was pretty good. But her favorite was the doughnuts. They found this doughnut shop near their hotel on their last day. Creme brulee, pistachio, coconut creme, peanut butter glazed with a blackberry center. Mommie even went for another creme brulee doughnut after they ate all this.<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ptNbukTf7Xo/T9YuxyxVjBI/AAAAAAAACOM/hGvnLsadvXY/s1600/IMG_0646.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" fba="true" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ptNbukTf7Xo/T9YuxyxVjBI/AAAAAAAACOM/hGvnLsadvXY/s320/IMG_0646.JPG" width="320" /></a><br />
Then finally, they came home. And with goodies!<br />

Mommie got me some doggie biscotti. I tried to open that one first. So crunchy and yummy!!!<br />

After that I checked out what Ronak sent me. Wow! A whole assortment of New York themed cookies. Thanks buddy!<br />

After I sampled the offerings, I decided to forgive them for leaving me behind. Teehee!<br />

Last year we did not make it. The year before that I injured my foot so even though we went to Lake Tahoe, I was pretty much stuck indoors. So this year, they said they would make sure I would be able to play in the snow. So when we saw that it snowed for two whole days, off we went to Lake Tahoe for the weekend. I was so excited I ran around the house while they were packing. So I was pretty tired by the time we got on the road. But I stayed awake and kept looking out the window to check for snow. <br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1KB2iVZU_qY/T5Bo207VhMI/AAAAAAAACBI/frZV9YLx2uU/s1600/IMG_0503.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5733197616772383938" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1KB2iVZU_qY/T5Bo207VhMI/AAAAAAAACBI/frZV9YLx2uU/s320/IMG_0503.JPG" style="cursor: hand; height: 240px; width: 320px;" /></a> <br />
To my horror, there was no snow. The trees were green and the ground was brown and dry. Waaah!!! Daddy said it was too warm so looks like even though it snowed a lot the past few days, the snow melted quickly. Sigh! Anyway, I decided to make the most of it and just enjoy the nice hotel we booked. <br />

Grandma liked it coz it has a casino inside. That is where she spent most of her time. Teehee! I am too young to gamble so I investigated the grounds. Here I am roaming the hallway. <br />

Outside our room, there is a huge yard! <br />

The casino is on the other side of that fireplace. That is where Grandma is. I can see her through the fireplace. <br />

On the other side of the street, the hotel has another area where you can see Lake Tahoe. <br />

On our side there is a fire pit, too. It is smaller but we get to roast marshmallows on this side. <br />

As we drove down the mountain, I was in for a surprise. Daddy spotted snow on the ground. So we stopped at the side of the road and walked up to it. Yipee! Snow at last! <br />

After playing in the snow, we also stopped by Lake Donner on the way down. It's so pretty there. <br />

What a wonderful weekend! So glad we took the trip.Casperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17822251317224414098noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12538472.post-89989695236250786362012-04-19T12:02:00.000-07:002012-04-19T12:27:01.111-07:00Drive-Thru WindowsMommie loves drive-thru places. So far she's tried the ATM, coffee, fast food, pharmacy. She wishes everything can be accessible via drive-thru windows. That way she does not have to get out of the car specially when it is super cold. I love them too coz I get to sit up at my car window and say hello to the people. Today, we went to the Starbucks. The lady at the window said I was so cute and she started calling her co-workers. One by one they all eventually ended up at the window to see me. They said I was the cutest doggie. Teehee!Casperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17822251317224414098noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12538472.post-18051263078581821632012-03-07T13:13:00.002-08:002012-03-07T13:22:18.716-08:00I Got Warts?!?Waaah! Mommie found a small pink lump under my chin last year. The vet said it was nothing to worry about so long as it did not keep growing. It is either a dog wart or histiocytoma. A few months later she found another one on my shoulder and rushed me to the vet. Again she was told to just observe it and see if it keeps growing. If not, then no need to treat it. Now, Mommie found another one on my paw. Who knows how many more there are that she can't find coz of all my fur? Yipes! I have become a lumpy old doggie. Sniff! Is this how it is for us senior furries? I don't want to be all bumpy. :(Casperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17822251317224414098noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12538472.post-77835587561716979932012-03-03T23:11:00.055-08:002012-03-03T23:35:17.445-08:00My Barkday CelebrationsWhat's this?<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6R7IaNBVKp4/T1MXpsCzqHI/AAAAAAAACA8/nJvkh5wd2pI/s1600/1.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6R7IaNBVKp4/T1MXpsCzqHI/AAAAAAAACA8/nJvkh5wd2pI/s320/1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5715938357028300914" /></a><br />Hey Mommie!

A milestone barkday. Thanks for all the presents and greetings from everybody!!!Mommie cannot believe I am a senior doggie. She says I still look like a baby and treats me like one, too. Teehee! Grandma is flying in tonight. I cannot wait to see her. And Auntie is flying in on the weekend. So we can all celebrate my barkday together on the weekend. We are so thankful for another year. And to think I almost did not make it to my 4th barkday and now I am 10. Whoa! Mommie says it is a miracle. For all those with sick doggies, do not lose hope. There is a chance to have many years of happiness with your doggies. Just give them a chance. And for those looking for doggies to love, please think of adoption. So many of my furcousins are out there needing homes. Mommie always says I was a diamond in the rough. I was given up for adoption multiple times. Unwanted, but when I found Mommie, I became brighter than any diamond out there.Casperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17822251317224414098noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12538472.post-83826533041080645282012-02-26T21:29:00.010-08:002012-02-26T21:40:56.861-08:00My New Bow TieIt's been great the past couple of weekends. Although it is winter, the sun shines on the weekends and the temperature is not too cold so they've been taking me out. We went to the gourmet food trucks in Palo Alto and San Jose. There was a long line to get food so the people waiting spent their time patting me and asking about me. We even went to the Stanford Mall last night. It was almost closing time so there were not a lot of people there and no doggies so I was able to roam at will. My barkday is a few days away so I am sure they will take me out. I got my first barkday gift already. Mommie boiled up a bowtie pasta for me. <br /><br />But Mommie, I don't want to wear the bowtie. I want to eat it.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GP39um-rVcs/T0sUtZc8a3I/AAAAAAAAB1s/9zJwawfcdd0/s1600/1.png"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 251px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GP39um-rVcs/T0sUtZc8a3I/AAAAAAAAB1s/9zJwawfcdd0/s320/1.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5713683322408561522" /></a><br /><br />Hmmm, it looks pretty good on me actually.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O8VNidaoaFw/T0sU1cA-BTI/AAAAAAAAB14/5Zbj4oBnH_4/s1600/2.png"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 251px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O8VNidaoaFw/T0sU1cA-BTI/AAAAAAAAB14/5Zbj4oBnH_4/s320/2.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5713683460535485746" /></a><br /><br />What do you guys think?<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-64NvFK87tQE/T0sWXCWAYOI/AAAAAAAAB2E/4UAevpUNmN4/s1600/3.png"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 251px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-64NvFK87tQE/T0sWXCWAYOI/AAAAAAAAB2E/4UAevpUNmN4/s320/3.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5713685137271578850" /></a><br /><br />Ok, that's enough posing.

Sometimes I jump on the bed and they do not even know it until I am by their side. I am silent and light on my feet when I jump up. And when Mommie thinks she is in a room by herself, she is always taken by surprise when she turns around and finds me there. She says she did not even hear me enter the room. That is coz I am a furry ninja. And today she was making baby sounds and pinching my cheeks so much so I gave her a ninja punch to the face. Hahaha! Don't worry, I pulled my punch so I did not hurt Mommie.Casperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17822251317224414098noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12538472.post-80154183853179995682012-02-08T09:41:00.000-08:002012-02-08T11:18:20.421-08:00EskiemobileThe Eskiemobile is alive once more! It has been reincarnated as a VW beetle. Mommie adopted it from a used car lot. It is 3 years old. Same age as I was when Mommie adopted me. She thinks it is really cute and befitting a cute little doggie like me. Her one requirement was that it be green so she scoured the internet looking for a green one. Finally she found one and it was almost the same price as the check the insurance company gave us so it was a pretty good deal. It will take a bit of getting used to as it is a much smaller car than we had before but it has enough room for me and Grandma in the back. The only thing it is missing is a window in the back so I can feel the wind in my face. <br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MT684MceJNA/TzCHwBQOkUI/AAAAAAAAB0A/mkoqwCzT0A4/s1600/IMG_0357.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MT684MceJNA/TzCHwBQOkUI/AAAAAAAAB0A/mkoqwCzT0A4/s320/IMG_0357.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5706209986918388034" /></a><br />It's so much fun to ride in it.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bdxu5hcfSM0/TzCIAJj5w0I/AAAAAAAAB0M/eFWySFZB77k/s1600/IMG_0344.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bdxu5hcfSM0/TzCIAJj5w0I/AAAAAAAAB0M/eFWySFZB77k/s320/IMG_0344.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5706210264026301250" /></a><br />C'mon Mommie, let me take her for a spin.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TSnluUFl0kM/TzCIH2M6e_I/AAAAAAAAB0Y/j81sWcmtmK0/s1600/IMG_0347.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TSnluUFl0kM/TzCIH2M6e_I/AAAAAAAAB0Y/j81sWcmtmK0/s320/IMG_0347.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5706210396268559346" /></a><br />Vroom vroom!!!<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-libydapGWRg/TzCI7TRIUvI/AAAAAAAAB1U/9fONIB7cV10/s1600/IMG_0352.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-libydapGWRg/TzCI7TRIUvI/AAAAAAAAB1U/9fONIB7cV10/s320/IMG_0352.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5706211280244200178" /></a><br />Here we go!<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mbERaB3yl-o/TzCJIFOjoAI/AAAAAAAAB1g/88iLfVnwWFA/s1600/IMG_0353.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mbERaB3yl-o/TzCJIFOjoAI/AAAAAAAAB1g/88iLfVnwWFA/s320/IMG_0353.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5706211499813609474" /></a><br />I think I will make a good driver.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Tv4wBXgeH7U/TzCI3hzZpGI/AAAAAAAAB1I/2Yi8J-G-ATA/s1600/IMG_0348.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Tv4wBXgeH7U/TzCI3hzZpGI/AAAAAAAAB1I/2Yi8J-G-ATA/s320/IMG_0348.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5706211215426561122" /></a><br />What fun!<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FE8YycMpVJc/TzCIsfPYuBI/AAAAAAAAB08/Q1HZZOxSfiU/s1600/IMG_0355.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FE8YycMpVJc/TzCIsfPYuBI/AAAAAAAAB08/Q1HZZOxSfiU/s320/IMG_0355.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5706211025760073746" /></a><br />Oh gotta pay more attention now.

My favorite channel is Animal Planet. <br /><br />On Animal Cops, we see lots of animals being rescued. We cannot understand how humans can be so cruel to their pets. Good thing there are rescuers to save them. The saddest is when we see the doggies with embedded collars. Looks so painful. And lots of sad stories about starving pets, too. But when you see them find their furever homes, it is so uplifting.<br /><br />K9 Cops is so cool. The canine officers can sniff out drugs, guns and criminals. And the bad guys get so scared of the doggies they surrender at once. Haha!<br /><br />On I, Predator, we saw a cheetah running so fast. So cool to see so much stuff about cheetahs and how they move. They even use their dew claws. I don't use mine at all. But they seem to do all the work catching the meal and it just gets taken away by either lions, hyenas or vultures. So unfair!<br /><br />We also saw Planet Earth. So much wonderful footage of animals on that show. We root for the seals when the great white shark tries to eat them. But we root for the penguins when the seals try to eat them. We even saw an artic fox. One time, while we were eating at a restaurant, someone asked if I was an arctic fox. Mommie and Daddy kept laughing because the arctic fox wanted to eat the bison and it looked like they just laughed at him because he was so small and cute and they were all so big but he was ambitious and wanted to eat them. They said it was just like me wanting the big goodies even though I am small. But when a wolf came, the bison all ran away coz he was big and mean looking. One of the saddest things we saw was the plight of the polar bear. Because of global warming, the ice melted so the polar bear had to swim farther than usual to find food for him and his family. It took him a few days of swimming to find land so by the time he found a bunch of walruses, he was not strong enough to fight and got hurt very badly. He died hungry and so far from his family.

We are making Peanut Butter and Pumpkin cookies. Hana made these for me before and they were so yummy. We saw the recipe on Facebook recently so Mommie thought it might be a good idea for me to bake my own cookies so that I would know that the beast in the kitchen called Oven is my friend and that I should not be afraid of it. I have all my ingredients ready. Since I cannot reach the kitchen counter, Mommie let me sit on a high chair. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3OVlyVNqdlI/Tt0wk__7lNI/AAAAAAAABys/Te3CvbTjSFQ/s1600/IMG_3424.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3OVlyVNqdlI/Tt0wk__7lNI/AAAAAAAABys/Te3CvbTjSFQ/s320/IMG_3424.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682751717024437458" /></a><br />There is going to be a secret ingredient that will make my cookies a bit different, Eskie fur. Teehee! For sure there will be some in the cookies since I am making them. I hope my friends won't mind since I am sharing these cookies with them. I wonder if they will be able to smell me on the cookies. Heehee!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2dC_HbUIbVU/Tt0wkhhOljI/AAAAAAAAByg/TXJAFhWwiNs/s1600/IMG_3426.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2dC_HbUIbVU/Tt0wkhhOljI/AAAAAAAAByg/TXJAFhWwiNs/s320/IMG_3426.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682751708842595890" /></a><br />Here are the cookie cutters I will be using.

But when the mouth opened, I ran upstairs to the bedroom and asked Daddy to keep me company up there until the danger passed. So Mommie put the cookies in to bake without my help. After some time, Mommie called out that the cookies were ready. Oh boy! I ran downstairs eager to see how they turned out.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9ZuXa9rzOhE/Tt0wTYvmrMI/AAAAAAAABxE/QFEtRVNhsSk/s1600/IMG_3442.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9ZuXa9rzOhE/Tt0wTYvmrMI/AAAAAAAABxE/QFEtRVNhsSk/s320/IMG_3442.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682751414429199554" /></a><br />The whole place smelled so good.

Fresh baked doggie cookies. They are sooooo good! We were hoping to make many batches to give away to all my doggie pals but Mommie said we would hold off baking for a while since I got so scared and stressed because of the Oven. So we were only able to make enough to send to some doggies. I will try to be braver next time.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-b5qfR7ZeX5U/Tt0wKBGn-MI/AAAAAAAABwU/05rGI7xpfS0/s1600/IMG_3455.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-b5qfR7ZeX5U/Tt0wKBGn-MI/AAAAAAAABwU/05rGI7xpfS0/s320/IMG_3455.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682751253464479938" /></a><br />Here is the recipe:<br /><br />Peanut Butter and Pumpkin Dog Treats<br /><br />Prep Time: 15 Minutes<br />Cook Time: 40 Minutes <br />Ready In: 1 Hour 40 Minutes<br />Yields: 25 servings<br /><br />INGREDIENTS:<br />2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour<br />2 eggs<br />1/2 cup canned pumpkin<br />2 tablespoons peanut butter<br />1/2 teaspoon salt<br />1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon<br /><br />DIRECTIONS:<br />1.

That way I will look my best when I pick Grandma up from the airport. My nails and feetfur were getting a bit long. Mommie uses a nailclipper and battery operated dremel to cut and file my nails. She never needed to do this before I got sick. She thinks the medication I am on makes my nails and fur grow faster. Now we have to do this every couple of weeks or else my feet look like the grinch's. <br /><br />Daddy said I looked so relaxed having my nails done coz I was on my back with my eyes closed while Mommie worked away at my paws with the dremel buzzing away. What he did not know was that Mommie promised me a carrot as a reward for being so behaved while she groomed me. So I had my eyes closed and was thinking of my carrot the whole time. Teehee!<br /><br />After that, I had a great car ride to the airport. And today, although Mommie and Daddy are at work, I have Grandma to keep me company all day long.Casperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17822251317224414098noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12538472.post-74378105008010015152011-11-09T17:57:00.000-08:002011-11-09T18:05:15.594-08:00Gotta Keep Everyone WarmThe heater at our house is broken. And just as the weather is getting colder, too. What awful timing. So I am now in charge of keeping Mommie and Daddy warm. Grandma is returning this weekend. I'm not sure how I am gonna be able to keep all 3 of them warm. They hope to get someone to fix the heater soon. For me, I much prefer it this way coz I like the cold and I like to snuggle. It's hard for me to snuggle when it is hot.<br /><br />I am doing such a good job that I got a special treat. Daddy went out for a bagel run and got me my very own mini bagel. It is so yummy!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Wa1mdOtLlUA/TrswelVEUbI/AAAAAAAABwI/q9MPZ6ktklE/s1600/IMG_3294.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 308px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Wa1mdOtLlUA/TrswelVEUbI/AAAAAAAABwI/q9MPZ6ktklE/s320/IMG_3294.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673181457577955762" /></a>Casperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17822251317224414098noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12538472.post-50790757190638052372011-10-31T10:03:00.000-07:002011-10-31T10:08:32.291-07:00Halloween PumpkinHappy Halloween everybody!
