In search of Birthday gifts.

Today, I got to go to the Medford mall with my Mom and Dad. My Grandmother's birthday is May 7th and we need to have some nice gifts. There was a shop at the Burnsville center but it closed. We  found out that they moved to the outlet mall, so we decided to take a little road trip. I love to lean up against my Mom while we ride. It was chilly out so we brought my blanket.

I sat in the car while they went into the store. I enjoyed a little sun on my face while waiting. My Grandmother is going to be very happy when she sees the nice things we bought her.  I enjoyed the ride, and my parents said that I was a good boy in the car. (that translates to treats...)

Only 8 days til the Shop Hop

Hi, I haven't had alot of time to Facebook or Blog lately. I've been helping my Mom get ready for the Twin Cities Shop Hop. The hop starts next week, May 3rd - 5th. We've been working alot at the shop and at home.

I was in the shop on Monday and Mom and I worked with Miss Heide to get some displays done. It's alot of work, I'm exhausted. This morning Mom got up early and we went out on the deck to roll some Civil War strips. I don't know what she was thinking, I got out of a warm bed to go out in 46 degree weather.... they're working me like a dog!!!!!

Here's just a quick snap shot Mom took of me helping. I did manage to get a few treats for my efforts. I've also been promised a new chew bone if I help her out again tonight at the shop. Mom says if I don't be naughty and just be quiet (that means not barking or whimpering) then we can go to Petco on the way home tonight. I noticed that Dad got the little kennel out to take to the shop, that must be for if I get tired from all the helping.

Are you doing the hop? I've never been but I heard it's alot of fun. Maybe someday if I'm not working at our shop I can go. I don't drive ya know, so I have to get a ride.

I hope you can stop in the shop and see all the new things and the displays we put up. I just know you'll love 'em.  If you are doing the hop, drive careful - be safe and don't forget to bring treats when you come.

Good Morning

Hi, just wanted to show you how well I'm doing. Notice that I'm not all scratched on my cheeks and my chin isn't all raw.

My Mom says I'm a handsome specimen.... I think it means cute little Boston. All I know is that as long as I take my medications I'm not scratching. My hair is starting to come back a little too.

My Easter basket

Happy Easter to all my friends. I hope you have a wonderful day. I just opened my Easter basket and the bunny left me some really great treats. Hoping the bunny was good to you too.

OK, so I'm naughty in this photo.. that's not what I'm showing you. People have been asking how I'm doing with my allergy. The new medication is really helping. I hardly scratch at all. The only problem is that I have to be on steroids for a awhile and they cause my hair to fall out.  See the light part of my leg and chest, that's where my hair has fallen out.

Still hiding til Mom picks all the Kleenex up that I chewed.

I'm still a happy guy, the hair loss doesn't hurt, it just looks strange.

 

My doctor says it will probably come back in when I'm off the steroids. I hope so, my back legs and butt are bald and it's cold when the wind hits me. Mom says that we're gonna have to put sunscreen on me so I don't get sunburn on our walks. Thanks for asking about me, I'm doing really well - Mom says it's not how you look on the outside, but how wonderful you are on the inside. I like that.

Working on stuff for the shop.

I'm up late tonight. Mom and I folded fat quarters and made packs. Actually, I don't do much of the folding, I'm more of the silent type that just observes. I give support when she gets tired of doing them. And of course there's that reward for helping... two little milkbones all for me.

Tomorrow night she says she's going to bring home some little bag kits to fold. I will probably offer my services again. Mom and I make a good team.

Time for bed, hope everyone sleeps well. 

Good Night,

Quahog

I'm a happy boy!!!

I am a happy boy. My face is all cleared up. No more red swollen eyes, not scratching or rubbing and my ears and cheeks are back to normal. The only thing left to figure out is why my hair is so thin in spots. I'm going to look at it as my "Summer" hair... some dogs get shaved when the weather turns warm - mine just thinned all on it's own.

I don't know how long I'll have to be on the steroids or other medications but for now, I'll take them. Mom is still making me the ground sirloin and rice, I hope that lasts a long time - it's really good.

You should see how happy my parents are. They were so upset because I was a mess and  my face was in pain. You should never underestimate the power of a good Mom and Dad - they didn't stop until they got me relief.
