Wordless Wednesday: Squash Jokes
Squash Laughing
Squash E Bear (went over the bridge in 2010) would crack himself up. He would laugh and laugh while rolling on his back.
I wonder what the punch line was?
“Did you hear the one about the poodle and the pig…. “

DogDaz Zoo: How To Spot Bloat
Source: thecutestofthecute: alldogownersshouldknow:
Symptoms of bloat include:
- hard, swollen abdomen that may make a hollow sound if tapped
- retching that produces no vomit OR produces foamy, white vomit
- drooling/salivating excessively
- whining
- pacing/restlessness
- lethargy
- stiff-legged walk
If your dog shows signs of having bloat, call your vet IMMEDIATELY. Every second counts. Bloat is extremely painful and without quick veterinary intervention your dog will probably not survive.
Check out this video of an akita in the middle to late stages of bloat.
Check out this article on what bloat is, the varieties of bloat, its symptoms, and the typical treatment plans.
The best predictor of a dog’s chances of getting bloat are its relatives. If your dogs family has had bloat, your dog is at an increased risk. Other risk factors include:
- deep, narrow chested dogs
- feeding to soon before or after exercising
- raised feeding bowls
- gulping food/eating too quickly
- eating one or two large meals per day
- overeating
- overdrinking
- dry food diet
Just so everyone knows more about this, bloat is basically when a dog has eaten a large meal, exercises and the stomach actually flips. It is very very dangerous for your dog and can causes death in several hours. Know the signs of bloat. It could save your dogs life.

Monday Mischief: Keep Your Cat Paws Off My Peep!
Mini Cooper really likes when Louise plays with her squeaky yellow Peep. So much so that she has crawled up really close from behind and actually tried to interact with Lu to get at it. I couldn’t catch that picture because I was too busy watching that Lu didn’t take a bite out of the kitten. Then Mini jumped up on the chair and tried from a different angle. The fact that Louise reached out and nudged her gently, nose to nose, blew me away. There is something special about Mini that the dogs really like. Louise did lie on the peep and make sure that Mini understood it was hers though. “It is my Peep, Mini Cooper! Keep your cat paws off it!”
Oh, you were wondering where Sofie, the butt-in-ski, was during all this? Right behind Louise. But the energy made her anxious, so she was nibbling on the end of the dog bed as she does when she gets stressed. I love Louise’s splayed out legs to guard her squeaker. There is always mischief at the zoo.
What mischief did you get into today?

Black and White Sunday: Dogs Stay Forever – Not So Children
Sometimes, Sofie just lies on Peanut’s bed and pines for her to come home from college. It is so pitifully sad. The animal’s love Peanut.
I have good news, Sofie Bear, Peanut is coming home this weekend to go to a concert. I am sure she will give you a few minutes of her time. What do you mean that a few minutes aren’t enough? Did you really think she was going to spend much time in the house? She is almost 21. Sofie, children fly away, but happily, dogs stay forever!
