Tooth Fairy

Moses is a whooping 5 month old and guess what else...he lost a tooth ( I'm sure there's more)!
A few days ago Moses was chewing on something and whenever I can't see it, I go diggin', way into his mouth I go, in search of what lies inside. To my great surprise I found him chewing on his own tooth. I think it's his pre-moler but maybe I'm wrong. Take a look.


Eden was a tad jealous that he's already losing his baby teeth and she still has all of hers. Don't worry my darlin' yours will be falling out soon enough.

Mornings

This is a typical morning at our place!

Wet & Wild

We've give Moses a few baths since he's been with us but this was the first time we ever took photos of the event...yes it's an event! Eden puts on her bathing suit and I strip down to my undies because everyone gets wet



Everyday Moses and I walk E to school and pick her up in the afternoon. Today one of her little friends come out the meet Moses, he was a real gentlemen.



We have recently discovered Moses great love of soccer and luckly for him and us there is a soccer field close by (but these photos where taken in a basketball court)








In other news, Moses started level one obedience...I'll keep you posted on his progress. I do have to say, he was the best behaved dog in the class. However I wasn't singing his praises this morning when he ran away on me with our cat, 20 minutes I was calling out for him. I started to panic and almost began to cry. I decided to go back home and call my partner for advice...well, well guess who was sitting at the front door waiting for me. MOSES, I gave him a long lecture in a harsh voice. Lets hope nothing like that ever happens again. He'll be staying on leash for the next few days, just in case.

Dancing with Wolves

No Kevin Costner, was not there...but Nanook, Ricky & Kira where. My neighbor had her daughters visiting and they brought their huskies (she also invited me over for cake, but that's a whole other story...ummm cake). All the dogs played great together. I love living in a community where there are other animal lovers except for unit 207 but their moving!!!!




Moses trying to tangle them up with their leash...sneaky dawg.
Whoever said Bullies aren't smart?






Kira the cocker. Her eyelashes go on for miles...I'm so jealous.

Boy in a Box

I agree dressing up dogs is wack....but come on it's so frigging cute!

Scratch that

Thank you for your help

UPDATE

Total costs has of the morning of the 12th was $4143.55. As of Aug 12th there is $1710.54 still owed on the bill for Zues. This unfortunately does not include the daily cost for his care at the hospital witch are around $600 a day for the 13th and 14th. The vet was going to stop all care on the 11th if we were unable to come up with another $1500 for a plasma transfusion they needed to do. We were able to come up with that thanks to a generous donation from the Willy Foundation in the states and the procedure was a success. As of this morning Zues is off intravenous drugs and walking around and eating small amounts. There is still some concern since is blood pressure is still high. He maybe be ready to be discharged on the 15th but the next 3-5 days are important. If the suechers holding the intestine together should leak or fail to hold he will need a far more expensive surgery from a specialist at the Alta-vista Animal Hospital since the Ottawa Veterinary Hospital does not have a board certified specialist. We hope to have Zues back home soon and back to his old self. All donations do need to go to the Ottawa Veterinary Hospital. It is important that it is made clear that it is for Zues. THANK YOU! ~Zeus’ Family

Remember how I was harassed at my favorite dog park by some ignorant lady a few months back? And remember how I e-mailed the ministry regarding the dog ban?
Well this is for her.

Dear M:

Thank you for your e-mail of July 28, 2008, regarding the provisions of the Dog Owners' Liability Act (DOLA) and your ownership of a purebred Bull Terrier. Please note that nothing in this e-mail constitutes legal advice.

In your letter, you note that you own a purebred Bull Terrier (sometimes referred to as "English bull terriers"). In regard to the application of DOLA, please be advised that it is the position of the Ministry of the Attorney General that purebred Bull Terriers are not included in the definition of pit bull set out in DOLA. While there is no requirement for Bull Terrier owners to carry documentation as proof that their dogs are not pit bulls, carrying documentation may assist in interactions with animal control personnel who are not familiar with the application of DOLA to Bull Terriers.

Thank you for contacting the Ministry. We apologize for the delay in responding to you.

Moving, Shaking

Oh fall in in the air, the kids are back at school, the mornings are chilly and it dark by 7:18pm (to be exact). Since I've gone back to work Moses is accepting the transition very well. He knows we wake up at 6am, we eat breakfast, we walk Eden to school then play till 8, then it's back to his crate till 3. I was taking him out in the woods behind my house for an hour or so but it just wasn't cutting it, he had way too much energy to only walk for an hour plus we'd never see any other dogs. He's a social guy, he need to see other pups, so I've been taking him to Brew's Pit after work. We stay for a good 2hrs. It's well worth the drive and he's not driving me crazy when we get back home. On Wednesdays it's a real juggling act because my daughter has karate...but we make it work! Here's some photo I took today on our walk through the pit.
