Walkabout Wednesday ahem I mean Trotting Thursday LOL




Well I'd actually planned on doing this blog yesterday but totally forgot lol. I took some pics of my girls out for a walk the other day. Weather is beautiful and for once the humidity has been low too. Nothing like 70 in the am with only 50% humidity.






They are both good walkers and enjoy being outside. It is one of Nanuchy's favorite things to do. Nothing short of chicken or cheese makes her more excited than being asked "Do you want to go for a walk?"




For once Sonja was walking ahead with Nanuchy. Most of the time she walks at my side or a step or two behind me. She only started doing that after Sandi passed.




There are several dogs living in the neighborhood. Nanuchy only likes 2 (huge surprise right lol). Elise aka Squeaky, my sister's maltipoo who really wants to be exactly like Nanuchy lol, and a small shitzu boy called TickTack. She normally isn't overly fond of males but for some or other reason she actually likes to visit with him. By far she prefers to visit with people, well let me rephrase that, certain people. She has a bit of a reputation in the complex of being overly bitchy so most are afraid of her lol. The fact that she has beaten up 100 lbs dogs (vs her 25 lbs) probably just might have something to do with it LOL.




Since the weather was just perfect the girls took their time catching up on peemail. Nanuchy is very accomplished at leaving lots of messages. Sonja, well, hasn't figured that one out lol. At least she tinkles outside eventhough it always is all in one area.


And I wanted to give you an update on Nanuchy. She decided that she was having nothing to do with any of the various foods from the vets. So I decided to just go back to feeding her the regular Wellness Senior dry and canned food. The great news is that she got back to eating as soon as I went back to her regular diet. For me it is more important that she eats than what she eats at this point. She is back to being happy again about eating, no coaching from me. I think she even gained back a bit of the weight she had lost. She still is getting Pepcid so she can keep her food down, as well as the leaking pills (which are working, no accidents inside in over a week woot), another powder for her digestive track, nupro (for her joints), her regular allergy meds, as well as bit of canned pumpkin (100% pumpkin) to mix it all together.


See that fountain, many a drunk person has run into it, so far the fountain has come out with minor damage vs the cars. They sure did a great job building it LOL.




Can you see Nanuchy smiling? This is what makes it all worth while. As long as she is happy and enjoying life all is good. She is still grumpy and grouchy and growls at Sonja and the cats at meal times and overall a total bitch, but that is who she is and I'm sooo happy to see her like this. When she lost her spunk I honestly thought it was over then and there.

3 day weekend coming up which I'm looking forward to. Other than the usual errands and chores the girls and I have nothing planned and that is totally OK with me :)

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!

Have a good weekend.

Marianne Arkins said...

Glad to hear your baby is feeling better. Wellness is fantastic food, so I wouldn't worry about feeding it to her. She looks great!

Anne-Kathrine said...

Thanks Mollie and Bobo, it has been wonderful the last few days. I know the humidity will be back for a few more weeks, but so nice to have a break!

Anne-Kathrine said...

Thanks Op Pack. It was so nice and extra special since you can tell Nanuchy is happy and feeling pretty good!

Anne-Kathrine said...

Thanks Dakota. I know they would totally love you too. They can tell a true animal lover :)

Anne-Kathrine said...

Thanks Michele. My girls are good doggies and Im so happy to see Nanuchy doing so well :)

Anne-Kathrine said...

Thanks Martha & Bailey. LOL didn't mean to confuse anyone, I knew I was supposed to do the post on wed but got sidetracked reading blogs lol

Anne-Kathrine said...

Thanks HoneyBell. It is such a nice break for the hot weather we've had this summer, hotter much sooner than usual, not to mention breaking several heat records.

Anne-Kathrine said...

Thanks Brandy. Amazing what a bit less humidity and lower temps will do for my good mood lol. And Nanuchy feeling the best well is the best lol.

Anne-Kathrine said...

Thanks Melissa. Oh def, Nanuchy is quite a character and has made me a better pet owner. I hope to never have one as ahem headstrong again LOL.

Anne-Kathrine said...

Thanks Khyra. I'll def tell Sonja about your generous offer to teach her how to leave peemail :)

Anne-Kathrine said...

Thanks Al, yes her being happy and walking and catching up on peemail really does show how well she is doing. Not bad for an almost completely blind and deaf dog :)

Anne-Kathrine said...

Thanks Dru, it was so nice not melting while out for their walks. We walk 3 times a day regardless of weather lol.

Anne-Kathrine said...

Thanks Marianne. I must say I love Wellness food. I found it about 6-7 yrs ago since my angel rottie Patachou had the most sensitive stomack and got bloody diarrhea no matter what I fed him. This was the only food he could handle!

Astrid said...

I am so glad Nanuchy is feeling better! And Nanuchy has pawsome food taste... the stuff at the vets = icky! in fact, any type of vet stuff = icky! BOL!

Kasha said...

Isn't it great how they really do seem to smile! They are so adorable and fun! I also think you are amazing for walking two and once! I should stop complaining when I have the dog and baby. Thanks for visiting. I will be sure to come back as well. Great blog!

Looks like it was a nice walk!

Anne-Kathrine said...

Thanks Brownie. Im just so happy she is doing so much better. She really had me scared!

Anne-Kathrine said...

Thanks Kasha. I used to actually walk 4 dogs at the same time. Nanuchy (terrorX), Sonja (sheltie), Sandi (sheltie), Patachou (rottie) LOL. Also I showed your blog to my sis and she is very interested in Boerboels!

Anne-Kathrine said...

Thanks Karen, I love sharing my babies with everyone. Thanks for stopping by!

Anne-Kathrine said...

Thanks Sarah! Yeah it is such a relief to see her feeling better.

Hi! Seems like Nanuchy has some tummy problems like me. Would you mind e-mailing me with what has worked for you? Thanks for the pumpkin and yogurt tip. What about dog food? Mommy just bought me Nature's Logic but I threw up a lot last night from trying just a bit. And I'm still throwing up bile even though I'm on Pepcid AC. If I don't eat early in the morning, then I'll vomit bile.

No one seems to be able to help me with my problems despite going to the vet. They think it's no big deal. Daddy suggested that I take even more antacids - one in the morning and one at night.

My e-mail address is EuritheDog@yahoo.com.

Thanks!
