Millie's Musings

Hi everyone.  Well, its Friday night and I'm finally sitting down. The babies are asleep finally. Mom is watching tv so I get the puter for a little bit. I wanted to give you an update on the young uns. They are growing like weeds..The each weight over l pound now and have already had their toenails clipped. They are really developing their own personalities as well as TEETH.  The white one is very adventuresome and not afraid of anything. He'll try anything once. He likes to lay on his back and will let you turn him over and stays that way as long as you rub his belly while he lays there. The brown one is more timid as far as venturing out of the vicinity of the kennel and the bed (perferred to the kennel of course). They are both beginning to play with each other, and with toys. I even cought the white one trying to chew on a pigs ear the other day.  Mom has begun to feed them a little food each day. She mixes up some baby rice cereal with a little bit of milk and then puts in a spoonful of soft puppy food and stirs it up. They will climb all over each other to get into the plate and eat. which they do like little piggies. I'm still nursing but I know now that they can and will eat. Mom put puppy papers out and they are both using the papers so potty training has begun.  But they are so cute playing with each other and we got a picture the other day of the two of them sitting together and the white one looks like he's doing "high five". Mom's making a slide show and will probably put that one into it.  She hopes to have it up on the page by the weekend. 

Well mom got mad at me for the first time ever last night. I couldn't believe it. I didn't want to stay with the babies last night. Wanted to roam around I guess. Anyway she was tired and had to get up early for a doctors appt. this morning and I kept crying to get her to let me out. She finally got up and let me out...and took me to bed with her. Of course I'd had my nap and really didn't want to go to sleep but she did so when she went to sleep, I got up and found Sunny's busy bone that mom had given him that afternoon. I kept trying to take it away from him and she'd tell me now and give me mine and give Sunny's bck to him. Well, I'm a good hider so when he went to sleep I got his bone and went by up to mom's room. I had to get her to help me back on the bed cause I couldn't jump that high with the bone in my mouth. She didn't realize what I had. guess she thought it was mine and she was half asleep so she picked me up and dropped by off to sleep. Well I decided to hide it in the big pile of pillows she has on her bed and proceeded with that chore. Then I went down and got my bone and hide it in her bed in all of blankets on the bed. It wasn't as big so I got back on the bed by myself that time. Anyway, by the time she got up I was gone downstairs but I had woke her up about 4 times after we were supposed to have gone to sleep. Well she was trying to get coffee and I kept stealing sunny's pig ear when I had mine right there. And she got mad and yelled at me to "Drop it" when I grabbed it. She actually took it away and gave it to sunny and then fussed at me ... told me she was mad at me and that I had to quit taking Sunny's stuff and so I had to go into time out. She didn't talk to me or pet me or anything until she got back from the doctor... and then she was okay and talked to me and petted me so I've left Sunny's stuff alone.  Well, who needs his stuff...I have my own anyway....right?  LOL but I guess it wasn't nice of me. 

Ohk, i forgot to tell you that I attacked Rockiy today. Rocky is one of Sunny's best friends, Erin's dog, and is a 90 lb.  American Bulldog. He and sunny have been bff since Mom got sunny at 6 wks old. She was afraid Rocky would eat him but she said he was always really gentle with him and never hurt him...everyone loves Rocky. But, the babies kennel was open and I don't like other dogs around the babies and about had a fit when they brought that big dog into the house. I was barking and hissing and actually stood on my hind legs and tried to bite his nose. (like I could even reach it) but I tried real hard. I was like a mama bear protecting her cubs. I think Rocky just thought I was some pesky little insect cause he just gave me a dismissive look and walked away.  Oh well, at least I let him know I wouldn't put up with him messing with my babies. 

Okay, that's all for now. Daddy's heart is fine (he got out of the hospital pretty fast) so I don't have to worry about that anymore. Mom's not mad anymore and even gave me a treat tonight so I guess the week is ending on a good note.  Until next time. everyone have a good weekend.  Hugs and kisses, Millie
