How to Perform an at Home Wellness Exam on Your Pet

Regular at-home physical exams can help you learn what is normal for your pet’s body, and therefore allow you to detect when something is not normal.

While it’s still important to take your pet for a professional exam at your vet’s office at least once a year, you can keep watch on your pet’s health in between visits by getting to know what’s normal, and what’s not, for your individual pet.

Toys! Toys! Toys!

Hi, Mandy here! Santa Claws brought me some fun toys at Christmas cuz I was so extra, extra tag wagging good last year!

Sock Monkey, I love Sock Monkey!

Mom says that you crumble up a plastic bottle and put inside this one so it'll make fun noise. I sure hope Mom has alot of plastic bottles, I'm gonna make mincemeat out of this guy!

Oh no, Mr. Bill!

This guy is weird. Everytime I bite him, he calls out for Mr. Bill, whoever that is. I have a surprize for Mr. Bill when he finally gets the courage to show up...

my TEETH!

I already tore one of this guy's legs off in record time, too! 10 minutes after getting it!

Here I am with a couple of other toys from Santa.

Just a minute, Mandy!

Santa gave me Sock Monkey!

 GRRRRRRRRRR!!!

 and Mr. Bill, too!

 Double GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

 and one more thing, Miss Greedy, Santa gave me ALL of the toys cuz I'm a PRINCESS! 
And don't you forget it!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

Peaceful Rest at Last!

Bubba and I were so good this past year that Santa brought us new beds. And Mandy can't use them cuz she can't fit inside the holes! Ha! Ha!

But she can lay on top.

Now Bubba can sleep in peace

and so can I.

My dad's the greatest!

Hey, Everyone! Bubba here! Check out what my dad just made for me. It's a ramp just for me! Here I am discovering it for the first time.

 

Wow! This makes it so much easier for me to go outside now. Thanks, Dad! You're the best!

Yuk!!! I Hate Peas!

Yuko! Mom fed me (Bubba) peas this morning and she knows I hate peas. She thought she was being slick when she mixed them up into my food. I'll show her, I'll just push them out with my nose!

So there!!! Hope she gets the message now! And I don't know what that orange colored blob was!

 Double Yuko on that!!!

I'm starting a protest! 

NO MORE PEAS!!!

Happy New Year! We're back!

Happy New Year!

We're Back!

Mom's been so busy and wouldn't let us use her computer. What a mean mom! Grrrrrrrrrrrr! We have you and the rest of our fans out there wondering what happened to us. (Bubba)

Especially me, I'm a princess and I have my own following. You two may bow down to me now and call me 'Your Majesty'. (Princess)

Phooey! I wouldn't bow down to you even if you bribed me with all the doggie treats I wanted! (Mandy)

Hey, Toots, I'll bow down to you if you come and lie down beside me.  I'll make you my queen.(Bubba)

12 Dogs of Christmas

You must see this: The 12 Dogs of Christmas!

Keeping Us Healthy

  Our mom just read: Five Diseases Your Pet is Most Likely to Get... and Tips to Prevent Them. The information comes from Banfield Pet Hospital which  has put its annual State of Pet Health Report online, making the information available with the click of a mouse to pet owners and anyone who cares for and about cats and dogs.
 We have a good mom who takes good care of us except when she gives us a bath. We don't agree that giving baths is part of providing good care!
   Overweight and obesity is a top problem for dogs. Mandy is the only one that's alittle chubby here, earning her the nickname 'Chubs'. Mom feeds us Innova Senior Dry Dog Food  which has slightly more fiber from whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and 9% less calories than Innova Adult Small Bites which we used to eat. It helps to keep us slim and trim except for Mandy, who can't stay away from the tomatoes outside, always woofing them down! Maybe now since Mom just picked the last of them she'll lose some of her pudge!
  Princess has heart disease which is  very often a silent killer in pets and I (Bubba) has arthritis. Mandy has cancer which is in remission. She had a mass cell tumor which our vet removed, but, couldn't get it all without taking her leg, too. Then there wasn't a promise that they got it all. 
  Just like with humans, we get the same kinds of diseases and problems as we get older. All three of us are senior citizens, me, I just turned 15 this past October. Both Mandy and Princess are around 13, give or take a year since they were both adopted from IMPS (Internet Miniature Pinscher Service. But, we all know and agree that we'll be around awhile, thanks to the love and care that our human mom gives us. Thanks, Mom! We Love You!
  P.S. Mom wanted us to post the link to this article: 10 Holiday Safety Tips for Pet Owners.

Cookies for Santa Paws

Oh Boy! Mom baked us  Paw print Pumpkin Cookies! Arf! Arf! And boy, are they yummy! They are made with pumpkin, whole wheat flower, molasses, and other good healthy stuff. I'll get mom to post the recipe when she comes out of the kitchen! 

  She gave me the first one to eat, too! Boy, were Bubba and Mandy ever so jealous! Ha! Ha!, Bubba, I always knew Mom liked me best, not you!

Now we have cookies to leave out for Santa Paws!

Love and Kisses, Princess

Velcro Minpins!

 Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Bubba here!
 We are like velcro to Mom whenever she falls asleep on the couch. I always get first choice of where I want to lay cuz I'm Mom's favorite! That's me, wearing my snazzy snowman sweater that Mom gave me for Christmas last year.

Behind Bars!

Santa, please save me from my mean human. She locks me up all day in here while she's in the kitchen,baking up all kinds of goodies! Help!!!

Mrs. Claus is coming to town!

 

 And she is coming in style!

Our Christmas Tree is Shaping Up!

Mom has been decorating our tree and putting presents on it and under it for us.  She thinks that fence is going to keep us out of them! Ha! Just wait til she's asleep!

 Here's our tree at night. Isn't it beautiful?

Looking for Mr. Right

 Hi, Everyone!

Princess here! I'm modeling this sexy, midriff revealing, two piece skirt set, guaranteed to take his breath away and stop in his tracks! That's what I'm trying to do, stop a handsome stud in his tracks! 

Hey, there's Super Bubba!  Now that's a real catch! He needs a sexy gal like me by his side, to make him look good!

Hmmm...sunbathing didn't get him over here, maybe if I turn my head, looking like I'm totally ignoring him, then maybe he'll get interested and make the first move.

I'll be back later, gotta go strut my stuff for Super Bubba. Bye for now!

Hugs & Kisses
