I Feel Badly For My Dogs (Updated)

**Just wanted to let you know that my u/s is tomorrow morning (not today).

My black lab mix, Lewie, is eight. He can be active and crazy but he's also perfectly happy laying with me. Then, there's Nitt.any. She's the three year old yellow lab who runs, plays and fetches until she collapses. I usually make it my duty to come home from school, grab the Chuck.It and take the dogs outside. What's a Chuck.It? Well, it's a long grabber thing that lets you pick up a tennis ball and hurl it far in the air, all without touching the slobbery mess of the ball. All the while Nitt.any is fetching, Lewie waits for her to come back to me. What does he do? He jumps on Nittan.y's and humps her. Yep. It's hilarious. Sometimes he jumps on her back, sometimes it's her side...it really doesn't matter. He keeps going (a few seconds) until I throw the ball again and then he dismounts.

It's been so frigid outside I haven't been playing with them. I come home from school and take a nap because I'm so exhausted and the dogs get neglected. I call them up into bed with me though, which makes them happy.

In a little more than 36 hours, I'll know if I still have a strong little HB in there. The office opens at eight and people are on the schedule but they take you in the order you arrive. I can guarantee you I'll be there by 7:15am.

  1. Your dogs crack me up. Tell them to get used to some comfy naps, as you'll be taking lots of them in the next few months! Thinking of you - hope that appointment is amazing!

  2. The fact you feeling bad for your dogs means you're probably great with them and have nothing to feel bad about!

    I hope you have a wonderfully wondrous appointment tomorrow.

  3. Your dogs sound a lot like mine. . . the younger one loves to fetch (we also use the Chuck-It), and older one just waits for him to come back with the ball and then humps him.

    Looking forward to hearing about your u/s. Many positive vibes sent your way.

  5. sending good thoughts your way. Dogs are smart they probably understand why chuck-it time has become nap time.

  14. Our dog's are going crazy being stuck in the house, it's to cold to take them on a walk, so they suffer. :(

    Will be checking back often tomorrow to see the results of that us, praying for a beautiful heartbeat!

  18. Can't wait to hear your good report tomorrow, and my dogs could care less if I play with them, if I let them sleep with me, so don't feel bad! They will start acting funny soon enough b/c they can just sense these babies!!!

  23. Kelly, I'm thinking of you. I saw a brief post in my reader this morning entitled "Wow" but it doesn't appear to be on the blog now.

    Hope that was a good "wow" and not a bad one!
