We are rounding up day 3 of having a puppy in the house along with our old Queen Joy who is now 14. Joshua’s puppy Moose, is an 8 week old BernaDoodle and let’s just say, “he’s the life of the party”. He is very playful, mischievous, a chewer (he’s teething), a ball of energy and wants so bad to play with old “Granny” Joy. He jumps at her, tries to chase her around and bite her tail and takes her toys. He has his own. She steals his food. The last three days have been comical but a load of fun. We’ve all spent more time on the floor than we have in years. Moose is the sweetest and Joy is too. Now if they could just learn to coexist.
With yesterday being Easter, we decided to watch our service “live” on tv. My first Easter ever watching in my pajamas. Ron was laughing because I was dancing to the choir music. Well it was “Resurrection Sunday” and an awesome time to celebrate our risen Savior. We scratched the traditional ham lunch and had hamburgers, baked beans, chips and deviled eggs instead. Grandma came for lunch and to spend time with us before heading to my brothers. The first two days, Moose only had one accident but today he had two.
Today Ron and I were watching the dogs while Joshua was out. I finally got Joy into one room with me and closed the door so she could rest. Ron watched Moose in the other room. I texted him asking, ”Has he settled down yet?’ Ron responded “Nope”. About fifteen minutes later he texted me again saying, “I think he is finally settling down .” I told Ron we were the “dog referees” of the house. Hopefully one day soon I can get a picture of Joy and Moose together. Right now one is chasing the other or they are both tuckered out.
Joy is a rescue and has always been a timid anxious dog. Ron took her to the vet recently for a check up. She evidently has “white coat” anxiety because she climbed up on Ron’s lap while there. That was before Moose came. She’s got arthritis is one hind leg too. This shall definitely be an interesting season with no dull moments. Stay tuned for more puppy news.
