Missing them:(

Here we sit in a motel room in Midtown MT....many hours away from home...for as long as 6 weeks! That's a long time to be away from home, and the follies! Of course, we are not completely without follies here...we do have Miss Noodle--the poodle and the mouse--(Mickey the Doxie)! Mickey is pretty low keyed, but that Miss Noodle can cause a commotion on short order!

I took her to Pet Smart to get a bathe and she had all the ladies in the place oohing and cooing! Of course she was an out of control twit and jumped on everyone...we are working on that, and she is getting better, but she gets so excited! Funny how everyone has to touch her. Here's a dog that is guaranteed to jump on you, claw you, possibly even pee on your shoe, yet everyone HAS to touch her! What is that all about anyway?!

She really is a sight to see though! Maybe someday I will get good at this and post a video of her...that would be fun!!

piggy-tale!

My daughter-in-law, the vet lady...as I mentioned before, has "Wayward Creatures" pet rescue. So, about a month ago (give or take a week or 2) she gets a call to rescue a couple pot bellied pigs. That is her story to tell--visit http://draggonlaady.livejournal.com/ (beware, she has been known to use some colorful language at times)! To make a long story short on my part...She delivered the male pig to me. I have a 24 foot run for animals of need, so we put him in there.

Rumor has it he was quite a handful when they hustled him into a horse trailer for removal...EeeYikes...glad I missed that part! For the first day or so with me, he was, well, let's say, not real friendly! But then he started coming up and eating out of my hand, then I started scratching his ears...then brushing him, then lifting his lips...to check his teeth, then he even let me stick my fingers in his eyes--to clean them!! He turned out to be a very nice gentleman! He and I had quick become good friends! He would make noise when he saw me and come running to the gate! He would talk his pig talk the whole time I was messing with him, and I in return gave him treats! Lots of treats! His favorite, dog food! Wilber would have done tricks for dog food--had I kept him long enough!

Well, the good doctor lady had a friend from vet school who wanted badly to have a pet-able pig on her place...so, the friend drove all the way from the Seattle area to adopt the friendly guy! I was not home during pick-up:( ...I was very sad to see him go...unlike my hubby! I hope he is doing well and is getting lots of love! I miss him! What a nice ending to a potentially bad case! Pet rescues are a wonderful thing! Support them in some way if you can!

A Duck hatched a Chick

A duck sits on a chicken egg, hatches out a darling little chick…or chuck as my hubby says! The duck hangs out close to the dog house because she likes little dog food treats. Now the chuck is on it’s own…guess where it sleeps? In the dog house…with Grover…and…AJ “THE CAT” !!!! Is that weird or what?
