Chiweenie Friday (2)

Yay, Twinkie let me post again and I'm happy. It's Frankie the chiweenie, in case you forgot. It's been raining around the clock for days now. Linguini doesn't seem to care. She tucks herself in her extra small dog bed and sleeps. Twinkie's doing fine too. She spends most of her day lounging on her heating pads. I'm stuck at home all day long with nobody to play with. I feel like this:
This photo expresses my emotional state
(It's my beloved furiend Jude the mastiff, by the way)

That's why I decided to react. I'm not one to get bored easily, so I put together photos and videos to better introduce you to our latest barn furiend:
Cookie! A blue heeler puppy!

She's a bullet. She's a tad faster than I am. She runs like the wind. I think Mama's camera couldn't have done a better job capturing this:
Cookie's training for the Olympics
I wish I could see blue heeler puppies competing for real in the Olympics!

Cookie was saveded by local authorities. She was removeded from her home and taken to a dog shelter because a good person turned her awful owners in. Cookie is the only survivor. She lost her mama and her siblings who were even more abused than she was. She's got chronic dog mange, among other things, and nobody wanted to adopt her. I'm very happy to report what I overheard: she lookeded much worse when she was rescued. She's even put on weight already, of course she also gets regular meals now.
Okay, now I have to be honest like Twinkie's taughted me. I was in fear for my life when I first met The Blue Heeler Bullet.

In this video, Cookie comes to say hello for the first time.
If you could stop paying attention to how filthy our car is for a moment,
then you can witness my panic.

After a couple of nanoseconds, curiosity won. I decided to come out from hiding and face my fear.
But then I noticeded my dog treats Ha ha

Sweet, Cookie. I'm so sorry that I was afraid of her. Now I know how nice she really is and what a wonderful barn family addition she has maded. I can't wait to see her again--as soon as the yucky rainy weather goes away.
I love this bloggy stuff! This was much fun.
So long, my friends... Talk to you soon.

Adopt a dog!

  7. How lucky for that pup - although I bet Cookie is missing the less fortunate members of her old pack. Good thing you all made friends with her! Stay dry there everybody!!

  11. I'm very glad you got cookie in your family. I'm afraid Jack would go crazy if there was a dog named Cookie around, as that is the word we use for, well, cookies. :)

    What is chronic mange? Can it be cured? (I could Google it, but it's more fun to ask someone who actually knows!)

  14. Frankie, You're getting good at posting little bratwurst. We're anxious for the rain to go away too. Drat, it's the pits!! Our poor Betty had mange as a puppy too. I guess that's par for the course of being so neglected.

    We can't wait to hear more about your friend Cookie!

    Love,
    Stella

  16. Twinkie we are so hoping the rain with end VERY VERY soon for you all. The threat of mudslides and flooding is just to much to have to face day in and day out. We are glad you are all safely tucked away in your favorite corner of the house.
    We are thinking hard and sending you dry weather and sunbeams.

  22. Jack asked about chronic mange: I googled it. There are two types of mange, one is contagious and one isn't (it stays inside the carrier's body). With proper treatment, the disease does not spread. Chronic sufferers aren't supposed to breed but they can lead a normal life with occasional flare ups.

  23. We're happy Cookie was rescued from those awful people, but sad the rest of her pack didn't make it.

  24. We are so glad to hear that Cookie is feeling better and getting over her mange.
    You are a good little jumper, very athletic, love your videos!
    Hope your horrid rain goes away soon.
