Oh Sophie, Sophie, Sophie.

Our poor little bugbear wasn’t feeling well, she’d been going back and forth between feeling alright and being miserable for about a month now, so we took her to the vet last night…

Turns out she had a uterine infection, and so the vet called the surgeon, who rearranged his schedule, and she went in this morning to be spayed.  I’m amazed, she’s a bit sore, but already she’s so much better.  She’s bright eyed, her color’s back, she’s got a healthy appetite for the first time in a while, and her nose is cool and wet again.  She’s like a whole different dog!

She’ll be recuperating for about ten days, and then her stitches come out.  Of course, she’s already figured out how to work this to her advantage.  All she has to do is whimper, and mommy skritches her behind the ears, or cuddles her, or feeds her snacks.  I know, I know, it’s pathetic.

Right now she’s in her sling, laying on her back like a little baby.  I think she’s asleep…

Hunter’s soooo jealous, poor bunny.  He’s been so demanding and is acting like such a petulant little thing, but he’s intent on showing me he doesn’t care and he loves daddy best…  Won’t come when I call him, but then every now and again creeps in for a cuddle.  I suspect he’ll forgive me, eventually.  ;)

FREE PRIZE offer INSIDE

Last month I started putting vitamin powder and coat whitener on the dogs’ dry food, and rather than have to spoon it in every day, I just poured it over the whole bag, shook it up, and voila!   I was ever so slightly worried they wouldn’t like it, and I had a bowl of miscellaneous broken treats and leftover crumbs that weren’t really big enough to be a reward, so I tossed those in too…  They loved it!

Last night, we grabbed big kibble instead of teeny bites at the store, but I figured it wouldn’t matter, and added all the vitamins and cut up even more bite-size treats to toss in — pig ears, chunks of freeze-dried lamb, and sweet potato “o”s this time.  My dogs eat better than I do, I swear.

Anyway, Sophie has spent the last twelve hours or so scooping up mouthfuls of kibble, dumping them on the floor in front of the bowl, and then rootling around for the free prize inside.  She’s pretty much nommed everything special that’s coming out of the feeder for the next day or two, and now she looks so disappointed every time she goes over to the bowl.

It reminds me of this one Spongebob episode…  Skip to 4:45 to see just what I’m talking about, or yanno, watch the whole thing, it’s hilarious.
