Huey's Christmas/Winter 2009

Well, it has been a long time since I have written about Huey. He is 4 and 1/2 now. He is as sweet as ever. He spent Christmas at my parent's house with me and then stayed with them and my sister while I went to Chicago to be with my boyfriend. I miss my dog when I am not with him. It is like a child. I came home yesterday and he still was not home and really missed having him to sleep with. It does not seem right to have the bed to myself. He is home today and I am so happy to have him!

Huey's Christmas

Well, my sister and I went to London for 8 days over the Christmas/New Year's time. Huey stayed with my parents and with their dog. Their dog usually goes right after my dog. My brother now has a dog, a golden retreiver. He is a little plump fellow. Now he beats up on Daz, my parents dog and Heuy gets to watch. Which makes him a whole lot happier! It was weird though being in London without him. My mom wrote and said he only cried the first day, but looked for me every morning when he got up. He also was so excited to see me when I got home from the airport. He wanted to go by my dad, but then he kept looking at me when I was opening my suitcase. He did not want me to leave him. It made me feel better that he missed me!

Shots

Huey had to go to the vet yesterday. He weighed in at 9.5 lbs. The last time I took him to the vet he weighed 5.1 lbs, so he has grown quite a bit. While we were there he was offered dog biscuits. He would not have any of them, but did accept the cat treats. There really is something wrong with this dog. So he got one shot in each shoulder. Then the vet says he has to get a shot up the nose. Well the dog must have sensed this because he leaped up onto me and dug his claws into my skin. He then grabbed a hold of my hair. I tried to get the vet to help me and she just stared at me. So I finally got him all calmed down and got him up on the table. The vet squeezed the stuff into his nose and I thought the dog was going to choke to death. His little collasped trechea started acting up and it was very traumatic for him and me. He had a very rough day and could not wait to get the heck out of there. Poor Huey!!!!!!!!

Long Weekend

Well, the dog and I went to my parent's house for the weekend. He gets very excited to get there. He loves my dad and craves the attention from him. Well, I was gone for most of Saturday so Huey had to stay in the cage for the majority of the day. The cage I have at my parent's house is small. It is the one we used before he grew. The dog id pretty cramped up in there, but he likes that cage for some reason. Probably security. He just looks so funny in there. He got into the cage and his little buddy, Daz follow him in there. It was quite funny and quite cramped.

On Sunday we went for a walk around the lake. It is about a 3 mile walk which my dog had no problem doing. He walks so far ahead of us that he probably thinks he is not on a leash and walks himself without anyone around. He is funny like that. He likes to be very independent. On our drive home, he was completey tired. Usually in the daytime in the car, he is so nosey and wants to see everything. Not this day, he was out!

Groomer Jail

Huey finally got a haircut today. It was not without some drama though. I dropped him off at 9:30 this morning and told the groomer that I was going to the dentist. I went to the dentist and had to stay longer than anticipated. I got back to the groomers at 1:58. The lights were off at the shop and there was a note on the door saying that the woman had an appointment and had to leave. She said she would be back at 3:00. I could not believe that the dog was left in the shop with no lights or anything and that she would not tell me this before I left him there. I had a little meltdown because I was worried about him. What di he think being in a new place in the dark without someone he knows. I did not like it at all. So I was very relieved to pick him up at 3:00. It was weird though. I thought the groomer looked a little like my grandma when she was younger. She too is a dog lover.

When we got home I was telling my mom that I got the dog out of doggy jail. While I was talking to her on the phone, I noticed a chunk out of the wall. My dog has been eating at part of the wall. What is up with that?! He had to go into time out. Enough of this kind of business.

Pillow

I called for Huey for awhile today. I looked all over. He doesn't come when I call now. So I have to search for him. He sometimes goes and hides under the furnace, or he goes into the second bedroom and lays on the pile of clothes that needs to be folded. He likes to take the bras and sleeps right next to them. He is a very weird dog. Today I called for him and he did not come. He was in his cage when I called for him. He had pulled in a pillow so he would be comfortable. I could swear that this dog is part human. He looked very cute! Somehow this dog never ceases to amaze me.

Shoes

Last night I was so angry. My dog ate the heel off of a new pair of heels that I just bought. He has never even touched my shoes before. Oh I could have killed him. I don't know why he would do that now. He has always been so good with shoes and pretty much anything that is mine. He does like to chew pens and that sort of thing, but come on now. AAAAAAHHHHH! I don't even know how to respond to that. Well, I better go check to see what he is up to now.
