Poor sister Cookie

Yesterday so unfortunate.  Has been since weeks and weeks, that Cookie has not been feeling so well.  Veterinarian said, was bladder stones and needed to have surgery, like when was new-tered.  So yesterday Cookie went to have surgery.  Was cut open for two hours and had nearly 50 small stones taken out of her bladder!  Just like she maybe drunk gravel!  Was also one gigantic, like river stone.  Over inch long, so crazy.  Is so good that stones are out.

 

 Makes hurt just to think about.

But is so more unfortunate, because big sister too tired to play.  Instead is lying on floor and sleeping and sleeping and sleeping.  Smells sickly and sore.  Can tell is painful but also can tell, is taking powerful pain pills much stronger than ones that had when nail was ripped.  Is making drowsy and droopy, but hopefully not so much pained.

 

 Sister Cookie says, please to be going back to sleep now.

Cannot wait for to play with big sister once again, but until then shall just sleep all together like pack and send good healing vibes.

Will all nap soundly.

So no one told that snow was gonna be this way!

Was amazingly new when got up in morning.  Looked outside, and was like white sand covering all of world!  Was so excite and could not wait to go out to play.  Had first to get warm coat on.  Then out the door!  Was first shock.  Thought, nothing could surely be colder than already am, but was indeed!  Made feet go chilly.  Tried to dig and dig and dig, but did not work so well as thought.  But still felt so invigorated!  Decided to zoom and zoom and zoom, all around place!

Will go faster and faster and faster!

Just was made so hyper by cold wet white sand!  Learned, is called snow!  Have heard before of snow!  Think is pretty amazing, but have to keep feet moving speedy quick to stop the tingle.  When am out in snow, will play and play and play with Cookie, like wrestle and chase.  Cookie so enjoy chase but, am too fast!  She can never catch.  When play is over, am happy to go back inside, take coat off, play towel game, and then relax.

Snow definitely not so bad!

Big Sister Cookie so best toy

Cookie so fun now.  So love to play bitey face and pull on ears and fur.  So love to pin Cookie to ground and pretend to rip out throat.  Then roll all around on ground with.  Here, please watch!

 

Hikes

Almost never have seen so much space in which to run. Have been on three hikes so far since have gotten into Lost Almost. First, hike near dog park, was first meeting of Cookie.  

Then next was super fun walk! Next was day of long hike near horse stables (horse stables! Cannot wait to go see) and was so best hike because went with whole pack! Including Evil Stepmummy! Was so best to see Evil Stepmummy! Was as good and calm as possible as could be, because Evil Stepmummy so evil and require best behaviour. Then on walk, all pack had food but would not give any food. Would not share, was so rude. Made go away and explore by self, but Evil Stepmummy came to entertain and was nice.

Hike other day was maybe best so far because, have started to be able to breathe bit better. Went in what is called Walnut Canyon. Practiced bit of obedience and such. Even though sister like to run off, self preferred to stay close to Jacinta. Would turn around and stare at, with such to say, please hurry up! Is so much to explore!  

Following big sister.  So knows best ways to go!

Also was fun for to do puppy zooms and prances and bounces. Felt so energied and happy. Was great rocks and logs and bridges for to climb on and run under, and stairs to run up and down.

 Up big log, just like A-frame!

 Under bridge so speedy, just like best tunnel!

 Hurry!  Must hurry!  Are amazing things at top of stairs!

 Sister Cookie also waits for Jacinta

Best was meeting lovely energied girl dog! Much more fun than sister Cookie because was happy to play rough and tumble chase for few minutes before moving on.  Also got tasty treat from owner of other dog.
Cannot wait for to have another hike. Am so tired and happy after hikes.

Will just have 2 minute power nap and be ready to go again.

Big Sister Cookie

Have now had few days to spend with newest big sister.  Is very funny lady, and so love.  When first met, was only very fast nose sniff, then was just ignore, because were out on amazing walk and were more interesting smells than for to play with new dog.

Then when got home, was so excited and thought, must get big sister to do whatever want!  So stood right up to Cookie and got in face and bumped and bumped and bumped with muzzle, and pawed with paws, and tried to climb on top of.  But soon Cookie said, no more!  And turned around and gave snarl.  Was most funny, so gave more muzzle bumps and pawing to get reaction again.  Then ran off.  Is so so so funny!

More have jumped on and muzzle bumped and pawed at, Cookie has gotten more loud and toothy.  Is so funny!  Is even funnier than before!  But also, is starting to get bit scary so think, maybe might not bother big sister as much.  Especially since after last night.  Cookie up on seat with parents of Jacinta.  Went to put head on mum of Jacinta to get pets, but big sister saw and she became crazy.  So snarly, with highest lip lift and deepest growl.  Is obvious to see, that is not for self to sit on seat of Cookie.

Other than staying away from special Cookie places though, is most fun for to annoy!

 

Bother bother bother bother bother.  So like bit when she stops moving.

A Cookie Dog, A Cookie Dog!

Yesterday went to beach with Jacinta. On drive back, Jacinta pointed out dog that she said looked so much like Cookie! Had golden fur and pointy ears and curly tail and long fur.

Like so. Here is image of real Cookie. Am wondering about whiteness though, name of "snow." Wonder if will be fun like sand.

Have heard much about Cookie. Was first dog of Jacinta, and has taught her much. Met Jacinta when was only young puppy, but did not live with at first. Cookie lived with neighbour and Jacinta would play and play and play with on way home from school. Jacinta so wanted dog but parents say, no. But after few years, neighbours get so bored of Cookie. Ask, will take Cookie? First parents say no. But then parents be all sneaky and say yes while Jacinta is not there! Was great surprise.

Jacinta done much training with Cookie. Done obedience and agility and rally-o. Could not do so much agility because of sore elbows, that is why Jacinta so happy to have self. But Cookie such good rally-o dog. Always hear how much she miss Cookie when do rally-o. Would like rally-o tips from great and wise Cookie.

Think will get along with Cookie so. hear that Cookie like best young boy dogs. And am young boy dog! Hear Cookie very calm and not pushy. Is good, because pushy dogs so scare.

Look so forward to day that cam meet Cookie! Hear tell, will be sooner rather than later...
