Momma's been slackin!

I don't beg much - but when I do - I beg Momma to update my bloggie! Summer is slipping away. Its been raining ALOT around here though - ruining our fun!

Momma said we have lots of adventures planned for August. We are going to our friend Joannes Summer Slam paw-ty! She holds it every year to benefit the animal shelter - Destiny and Momma went last year and had a blast.

And then Momma told me some paw-some news! We are going to go on a boat!! We've been invited to Freddie's annual Clambake out on Little Chebeague Island! Momma said that she and Destiny went last year, and had SO much fun. She can hardly wait to see the fun I have. I can't wait either!!!

Its been really rainy - so me and Momma are going through old photo's and she is telling me about the adventures her and Destiny had. She said the last summer Destiny was here, was the best summer ever - they did alot of great stuff together.

This is my sissy Destiny - she is on Freddys boat. Momma sayz I get to go this year!!

Momma said that when the boat went fast, Destiny felt safer sitting with Freddy! I can't wait to go fast on the boat!

OMD - LOOK! Its an ALIEN!!! Momma sayz we eat these things!!!

WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!! Its a Sea Monster!!!! WOOF! WOOF!!!

No Lexi, its just our friend Freddy being silly!

How long til we get to go Momma?

Be patient Lexi... its not for a few more weeks...

How long is that? Momma? How Long?

Believe me Lexi - Don't rush.... life goes by fast enough Little One..



*sigh*
I guess I will just take a nappy and hope it comes soon.

Lexi and Derby's BIG day OUT!

WOOFS and Lickies!!

Hi every puppy!!

I live in Maine now, and I'm not too sure about this weather! Itz rained here for 26 days in June! Mez and Derbyz was so bored!

FINALLY this weekend we got some good weather, and Momma and Puppa took us out to play - here is our slide show of our big day out! Enjoy!!

4th of July and Thunderboomies

Woof Every doggie!

I hopes all youz pupz had a good 4th of July weekend! I know some of you doggies get skeerd of the boomies and X-plo-shuns. Momma said that Sistah Destiny used to get weely weely skeerd. Good thing for Momma - Iz a brave pup, and I don't mind the loud boomies at all. I stayed with Derby on the 4th while Momma and Puppa went to see the firewurks.

Momma would like to let you know some advice she got from some friends on facebook on what to do about skeerd pups in thunder-boomie storms and firewurks... hope this advice helps woo doggies!

Here is the conversation from Facebook!

Amy Drouin I HATE the 4th of July just because of the fireworks and my 2 big shivering German shepherds...they are wide eyed and scared out of their minds. Poor guys, I hope they stop soon

I agree, our 2 dogs and daughter hate them also, along with thunderstorms.

Leigh Parisi at 11:09pm July 3

Have you tried Bach's Rescue Remedy? Love that stuff! It helps ease the dogs stress with storms and fireworks.

Ian Brierley at 11:09pm July 3

What is that Leigh?

Ian Brierley at 11:09pm July 3

What is that Leigh?

Leigh Parisi at 11:11pm July 3

I give it to my dogs during storms. It's a flower essence. You put a few drops in their mouth every 15 minutes or so. You can buy it at Whole Foods or any health food store.

Ian Brierley at 11:12pm July 3

I will have to get some and try it..long shot here:) Does it work on kids under 5:)lol..kidding.

Leigh Parisi at 11:13pm July 3

LOL! Don't laugh.. It's actually a stress reliever for people too!

Ian Brierley at 11:14pm July 3

LoL, umm, have to read the fine print i guess.

Leigh Parisi at 11:18pm July 3

It's not like sedation, but it takes the edge off. I've recommended to a few other dog parents who now swear by it during storms. We've had enough of those lately!

Ian Brierley at 11:20pm July 3

I will have to look inot it, sounds fairly innocent for pets, I will ask our Vet about it, but I appreciate the info, on it:)

Leigh Parisi at 11:34pm July 3

Don't count on your vet being entirely gung ho unless their into natural methods. Don't get me started there ! I wish they wold come to realize, like some have, that traditional medicine can be complimented by natural.

Ian Brierley at 11:35pm July 3

I have a good friend that is into that sort of stuff also, she is a graduate vet student- something, I will ask her first before our vet.

There's also something called an anxiety wrap that may help. You can also use a snug fitting tshirt - http://www.petabbey.com/store-products-Pet-Herbal-Remedies-ap-anxiety-wrap-for-dogs-cats-The-Original-Anxiety-Wrap-for-Dogs-and-Cats_34029985.html

You won't believe it, but I use the snug fitting Tshirt on my dogs during every storm and it really helps a LOT. The dogs (& wolves) natually pull towards tention, like new dogs on a leash for the first time, they pull away from it because they are affraid. If they wear a Tshirt I usually loop the bottom up into a knot on their backs so it's snug, Ruger had one on last night and he fell right to sleep almost as soon as I put it on him...try it out!

poor ally climbs in the bathtub. i agree! :)

Priscilla Hansen at 11:00am July 4

Wow - I wish I knew about these methods when Destiny was alive - I would have done anything to get her to stop shaking - I swore she would die of a heartattack during a thunderstorm! Lexi doesnt seem to be phased by T-storms at all - which is so good! (probably because Amy is so awesome at giving them a good start!)

Amy Drouin at 11:01pm July 4

awwwww, thank you sooo much! You don't know how good that makes me feel XXOO Happy 4th Priscilla, give Lil' Lexi a big kiss from her foster family iin CT.


So there you go - some advice from my foster-mommy Amy!!! WOOF WOOF - LICK LICK - Love you Amy!!
