Changes

Look at him!
Mr Fino is has become a beautiful boy!
His hair is longer now and super shiny.
It does not get tangled like mine and,
guess what, he does not mind to be
brushed, unlike a certain someone
who is known to bite...

Today, while Jerome is being spoiled
by grandpa, mom left home early with Fino.
She explained to me that he'll be neutered
and the vet will also remove his hernia.
His girlfriend of the moment, Miss White Teddy-bear,
feels sad and lonely but mom thinks it's OK because
their relationship
was moving too fast anyway. :-)
Another big change: our crates, that we never really used before,
had to be moved up from the basement.
We'll have to get used to them, it seems...
Because we suffer from separation anxiety
(we love mom too much; dad can almost come
and go as he wants!),
it was the only way she and Jerome could
get out of the house safely.
We also have to wear citronella collars
to diminish our barking.
Fino is the one who has the most problems with this.
Surprise, surprise: I have been spotted relaxing
in my crate with the door open.
See, I can be good when I want to!

Jerome still has to go to the
Montreal's Children Hospital
almost twice a week.
Encouraging news: his kidneys
may be up about 80% OK...

Bye bye!

Happy birthday Jerome!

Today is our brudder's Jerome birthday!
He's turning 2!
For his special day, the little boy received a BIG
gift from Sophie and Philippe:
new flooring upstairs, including in
his bedroom.
He also got lots of toys, don't worry!

At first, mom and dad wanted hardwood,
but it turns out that it does not go
well with things like a long trip to China,
a new baby, a adoption leave from work...
and a new puppy... :-)
They settled for laminate instead.
It'll be easier to clean!

Because the job is done by one of Sophie's friend
who does this on the side, it's taking a long time.
Toys, books and furnitures are everywhere...
and mom can't find the camera.
No dogs photo today...

The iPhone photo below was taken by
her brother Alex
yesterday...
For his birthday, Alex gave Jerome a Little People garage
and Colette - Sophie and Alex's mom -
gave him a toy cart with many
plastic fruits and veggies.
Let's hope Jerome will be able to name
them before Fino and I chew them all!
Just joking!
I must admit that we are getting a little
bit better at not touching them.
Baby steps...

I told you that Jerome had to go to the hospital last week.
It turns out that he'll have to go many more times
to pass more exams.
We all all grateful that, at least,
excellent doctors are doing their best to take care of him.

Bonne fête Jérôme!

A big heart

I'm back!
I still have BIG improvements to make at home
(such as not making the earth shatter and terrify
everybody every time mom leaves the house),
but I had to show up for my sweet Valentine,
Miss Kodee.
You are a stunning tricolor, dear, and I hope to
meet you one day.
Fino has a tender spot for your beautiful sister.
Becky, would you like to be his cougar girlfriend?
As you know, February is the month of the heart.
Our brudder Jerome received great news about his last week:
it is perfectly OK!
This week, on Friday, mom will meet the urologist to know more
about the problem with his kidneys.
We all hope for the best.

The little guy still has to gain weight.
It's difficult because he is kind of a fussy eater.
My complete opposite!
Happy Valentine's Day!
I hope you'll get lots of hugs and lots of treats!

We have another visit from the dog trainer
on Tuesday. I'll tell you all about it.

Bye bye!

A great pair!

My brudders Jerome and Fino are getting
closer every day.
See how they had fun last week after our stop at the dog park!
Young Fino can be a real tornado sometimes,
but what a love sponge...
His fur is now half short and half long.
He looks like a mutant!

As for me, well, mom had banned me from my own blog this week...
Unfair!
- Rouky, I really think you are the naughtiest cavalier in the world!
No picture of you this week.
Next time, if you don't behave yourself,
I'll show your readers
the plastic toys cemetery you created.
- Mom, no!
I'll improve!
Just watch me!

Back home

We are back home!
Well, we have been for a few days now
(note from mom:
boarding 2 dogs really
is crazy expensive, but those
4 less stressful days
were priceless...).
Jerome had be hospitalized for 10 days, and then
he had to go back for 2 more days because he
caught the gastro virus at the hospital.
He's now feeling much better.
He's going to have to go back in February, though,
to see if there are more serious troubles...

Things are fun here! We never stop!
Look, I just stole Fino's bone!

Finally, someone uses that special place where I never go.
"Jerome, it would be the perfect time to reflect
on why biting your parents is wrong, even
if you do it when you are happy!".
Little Fino, here, got sick after his vaccination last week.
He's now OK and full of energy.

It has been SO cold these past days,
that we don't get walked
very much.
We prefer to play tug-of-war.
Want to join us?

Good vibes needed

Remember a few weeks ago, when my
brudder Jerome had to have some tests done
at the hospital? Well, it turned out that
he has a nasty and rare bacterium in his urine.
He'll have to stay in isolation at the hospital
for a least 10 days,
even if he does not "feel"sick...
Fino and I know that he is a fighter.
Get well soon, Jerome!

For us, that means that we'll spend
next week
at a doggie hotel.
We'll try to behave...

Happy New Year!

We are a bit late. Sorry, we fell asleep...
Happy New Year to all our friends,
with and without fur!
