    Can’t believe that my sweet furbaby Princess turned 4 this past Thursday. It still feels like she was the tiny kitten with almost no meow that I brought home yesterday

    my dear dog has been laying in bed with me all day, for I don't feel well. They are such a comfort.

    Thank God for these wonderful caring animals!!!

    Susan3 - Your furbaby is such a cutie! Love the pic of her/him watching TV from your bed.

    My little guy (Kirby) will turn 2 on October 12th. So hard to believe!

    Gma! Good to see you! I knew Dozer was a big boy but had forgotten how big. Yes, young’uns will wear a body out😂😂.

    A word of warning to those of us with pets that are sensitive to the chemicals in flea sprays or flea medications that go on the back of the neck, switch to a natural alternative such as a spray made from oils like peppermint and cloves. I had to do this with with our kitty Princess, since I found out she is highly sensitive to the regular stuff. Switching our dog Jackson over to the natural stuff too.

    Not sure but neighbor's dog, 3 acres away seems to love Dozer - let him come in the other day - They offered to let me have the little escape artist, but sure I would have the same issue.

    GmaFoley - Maybe not, if like you said the little guy loves Dozer, he might just want to stick around all the time to be with his buddy.

    Little Flynn or Puppa depending on who you talk to. He answers to puppa. He spent all day here yesterday. He didn't go home until 5 in the afternoon. I think we need a sleepover this weekend, if he gets out so I can see how they do during the night.

    Bummer - the neighbors found Flynn/Puppa a home. Dozer still goes outside and looks for him. We might have to get him a buddy.

    Here is a picture of Dozer this week snuggled under my desk while I'm working.

    Poor Dozer. My 2 don’t play together and don’t seem lonely when the other is at groomer. I’ve heard multiple dogs can and do play. Mine are just weird.

    That is our old dog Tigger's toy (Tigger went to the rainbow bridge before we got Dozer). Dozer has been loving on the monkey toy since I gave it to him. I told him it was Tigger's and you have to be nice to it. Still lasting after 4 years. Every other toy he shreds within and hour of getting it.

    Dozer wasn't sure of what to do when Roseburg had their snowpocolypse - The snow ended up being 2 and half feet and after the first time, he sunk nose deep in it, he wouldn't go out in it - this was day 6 with no power, no heat - most of the trees had fallen, so it was safe to let him out again.

    gma...Did Dozer figure out how much fun it is to play in the snow?

    it’s always funny the first time they encounter snow. Some of my dogs up north would try to shake it off their feet with each step. Others loved it from first sniff.

    Not so much snow here, but still fun for both of us. Frolicking is the word that comes to mind. I don't get to do that often Happy

    Dozer has liked snow in the past, but this time there was so much of it, he just came in the house and got under the covers LOL.
