July is going fast

Woof hello fur friends,

4th of July is over and life is back to normal. The fireworks are finished and sleeping at nights again, phew.

I gave Mom a scare last week when I started moaning and yelping with pain. I had an upset tummy from a new treat Mom bought for me and was really sick. I yelped when Mom picked me up she panicked and thought I was having back or neck problems again. She immediately gave me a pain med and some chicken with probiotic. It helped and I slept through the night with no problems.

She emailed my vet the following day and he agreed to what Mom had done and told her to monitor me which she did.

I did not even want to go out those days so my Auntie came to the house to help Mom get me out in the evenings, am I spoiled or what ?

By Saturday I was back to normal whatever normal is and since then am doing great. She has kept me on the pain pill at night as my vet and her are wondering if I am getting arthritis so it’s helping me sleep comfortably at night.

So this week we have laid low, just done walks and napping which has been awesome as I think I had done too much the weekend before. I am an old lady BOL.

On Sunday my fluffy friends, Pierre and Leopold are coming to spend a week with me which will be awesome. It going to be a fluffy week BOL.

So that is what is happening in the Layla neighborhood, between me being sick and Mom having eye problem we are two peas in a pod, perfect match.

Have a great week everyone

With love and hugs from Layla

 

Middle of January already

Morning Everyone from rainy San Francisco,

Today we are expecting a major rain storm which means me getting wet but BOL Mom has to go to work so she will be swimming there while I sleep cozily in my bed. This is the life, Mom working, I have food, treats and a warm bed while she is out there suffering, I like that and call it Karma as she makes me walk in the rain.

It will be soon my gotcha day and Mom and I were discussing how I was dumped in the shelter and how lucky I am today especially when she sees the amount of dogs that have been dumped, it breaks our heart and she told me she wish she could afford a brother or sister for me. I am not sure if I want one though as I love being the only child.

Since I took Layla off the dog food and only cooking at home including her veggie smoothies I have noticed she has lost some weight. She was never over weight so this is worrying me a bit. I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday about it as he only cooks for his dogs and has a senior, a little older than Layla and he told me that the same thing happened to him and I must not worry. He did suggest I only use the brown meat of the chicken as it is fattier and add a little brown rice to her food for carbohydrates. So as I got a Power Cooker as a gift from friends I made up some brown meat chicken for her yesterday with a little brown rice and of course all the veggies. When I made the smoothie of the veggies, zucchini, carrots, spinach, parsley, peas and green beans, plus some apple and blueberries, I added the rice so she would not know she is eating it as she spits the rice out LOL. She ate all her food yesterday and today so I am hoping this will help solve that problem and if not her annual vet visit is next month so will ask the vet. She is not drinking more than normal which I am relieved about.

I am finding it hard to find in some ways the perfect balance as I am always worried that I am doing something wrong so if anyone has any input am open to it. She is also getting a teaspoon of goats milk in her food, plus green lipped mussels and coconut oil.

This past weekend was basically most of the time indoors because of the rain and next weekend I think it is going to be the same. The Women’s March is on Saturday and I am debating whether to go or not, Layla in her backpack of course but will decide on Saturday when I see the weather forecast.

So life has not been that exciting this past week thanks to the rain and I think we are going to be stuck inside till the weather changes.

For those that are in the snow or colder weather, stay safe and warm

Woof with love from Layla
