Mr. Chips is playing with his doll!

Don\’t worry Mr. Chips, I get the kids names mixed up too!

I\’m going to be on road trip tomorrow with my Mom and Bernie to Pennsylvania, we will be sight seeing the Amish Country, Hershey and Gettysburg. I am looking forward to eating out, not cleaning and not working! It should be a lot of fun! We are driving and it will be about a 6 hour drive, maybe longer! Although, my son just told me he wasn\’t feeling well, you can read about that on my Amazing Animal Blessings and Prayer blog, I\’m sure he will be fine by tomorrow! I really hope so, my Hubby isn\’t too good at taking care of kids who don\’t feel well.

Have a great rest of the week!

Buds New House!

Bud is very happy to have a new home! It is a three level condo that he will be able to walk around in! My lovely daughters, fiance made this in two days! I am very impressed! Twenty-four hours later…

Bud is getting use to his new condo!


Bud seems to love it!

Bud is kept in my daughter\’s fiance\’s room, this way; he is kept nice and warm! Bud still will go on car trips and they take him outside in the large pen for his exercise!

Dog Flu

Bless you!

For those of you who love dogs, and that is almost all of you, when I was listening to the nightly news the other night, they mentioned that the dog flu was on the rise. Of course, I perked right up to listen… The dog flu is a contagious respiratory disease in dogs that is caused by Type A influenza virus; this strictly is a disease of dogs, not humans.
This virus now spreads between dogs. This is why I never bring my dogs to the large pet shopping centers in my area! I have found out that this virus started initially in greyhounds and was caused by equine influenza A H3N8 virus.
Symptoms of an infected dog could be a cough, runny nose and fever. The good news is that only a very small portion of dogs can develop severe disease.
There is a vaccine for canine influenza, so maybe if you worry about this, like I do, I am going to ask my veterinary office, if my dogs should get the vaccine. It may be worth it!
