Sophie and Roody

by sophiesmom on 7/6/2009 at 9:50 AM in First Post

Hi everyone! Hope all had a safe 4th. This was Sophies first and she made it very clear from the get go that she didin't like the noise one bit. Poor old Roody couldn't have cared less. He is so easy going, nothing much bothers him. I honestly believe his doggy motto is "just go with the flow." Oh, my life is going to be so different without him in it. I don't mind saying that I am a little scared of being without him.

Sophie gets more and more sweet as time goes by. The minute I sit down she is either next to me or on me. She climbs up on my chest and lays long ways so that I can rub her belly. If I get up to go to another room, she has to follow. When I'm in the shower she tries and tries to get in with me. She was getting so upset when I would take a bath cause she thinks she has to be on my lap at all times that I started placing her doggie steps in there so she could sit by me. Well, after the second time that wasn't even enough and she got right in and on my lap! You could tell by the "Go ahead, don't mind me" look she gave me that I was going to have to come up with a new bathtime plan. I'm still working on one. It's hard to believe she will soon be 6 months old. I have her scheduled to be spayed later this month and then daddy, mommy and Sophie are heading to Illinois for vacation. Because of Roodys heart he gets to stay with grandma this year. Scares me so bad that he will leave me while I'm gone.

Sesheeta Meets Her (Human) Siblings

by sesheta on 7/6/2009 at 1:37 AM in First Post

I was going to visit my children today. We were to meet at my daughter and her fiancee's house. I had warned my daughter that I was bringing Sesheeta. All of my children are adults now, and have always been raised with animals. You name it, we've probably had the species.
I'm a Cancer and a very nurturing Earth mother, so their childhood was very important to me. I wanted them to have a very open, loving atmosphere. Gerbils loose in my son's room? No biggie. Louie the Lizard getting his tank cleaned outside while someone had to watch the 3' thing? Then he almost got away? I said almost. Parrots leading the parade like the pied piper of animals up the staircase? Oh yes. Quite common.
So when I told her we were coming together, little did I expect her reaction. "I have carpeting, you know." she tells me, "Outside she goes." If she could have seen the look on my face! I have never housed one of my dogs outside in my entire life. Much less in the summertime let them sit outside.
I respond, "Sesheeta is quite attached to me. She's only a baby. (smirk) She's housebroken anyway."
As soon as I arrived, my youngest son (23) was waiting outside. He and I walked Sesheeta a bit. It was a long ride and she did wonderfully. I had her seatbelted in the car for safety, no problem. My son questioned that. I told him it was the law. He wasn't aware of it. He told me he saw many people with loose dogs. I told him how unfortunate.
When we went inside, we were quickly shuffled out back. LOL I was told the yard was fenced in, and safe. My daughter(28) was watching her...and went to the middle of the yard. I saw a glint in her eye. She mumbled something about "you would think she wants to play....".
I walked Sesheeta over to her and told my daughter that she likes to wrestle. So she started to play-wrestle with her. Then she went in the house and came back out with surprise! Dog treats!
I think my children were skeptical of all the lavish attention I had been giving to this new member of my family. All of my emails, photos, etc. had been about Sesheeta. Could they have been jealous? After all, now Mom has a new baby!
All in all, the psychological behaviors were quite interesting to watch. When Sesheeta jumped on the couch for pictures, she was told OFF! Funny how when it's property bought with their money, it suddenly has meaning, doesn't it? The same with the idea that this was Mom's dog. Since they are adults and no longer live with Mom, they wouldn't know Sesheeta very well. Which means Sesheeta would be loyal to Mom only. Twisted the tables. Part of the passages. Part of their growing up.
I'm just glad I have Sesheeta now. Oh yes, I'm glad I have three "grown" children, too. lol....
