Missi's Blog – March 2009 Archive (5)

Sorry to take from Harry Potter, or to do 2 blog posts in one morning, but I just wanted to type this out before I forgot to. I just read some news feeds that said that one of Oprah's new puppies (Ivan) has died of parvovirus and the second is being treated for it.

Seriously, OPRAH!??! I'm sure she had every kind of vet, specialist, and money working on this dog, and he still… Continue

So, Lizzie is never out of my line of sight unless she is crated or in her ex-pen. This morning, however, she weaseled past me! I guess the office door was slightly ajar and she took the liberty of running the house! I, of course, was getting all of the important DK updates.

Lizzie went to the vet today for her 10 day follow up after being released, and she is doing phenomenal! The vet staff were AMAZED at how much bigger she looked and how happy she is.

Don't know if it has any relation to the food, but it's good anyway. She still, however, likes to roll in it. I forsee our first bath quickly… Continue

Lizzie has made it home! At almost 11 pounds and 12.5 weeks old, she is a solid, happy, puppy!!!! She's super energetic and playful! It's a totally different dog! (Well, she's still as sweet and is a total cuddler!)



As soon as I get pictures uploaded, I'll post them!



Thanks again to everyone who gave me advice and support over the last month.





She's chasing the kitties, gotta run!







Here's the newest picture from this morning!!…
