Day 275 - Week 40 MEAN BULL DOG

There is so much to talk about since our last blog.  Eve cheered on the Canucks like the rest of us and joined in on all the fun at the Hub and Hurricane Grill.  Oh and we won't mention the time we lost Eve at Hurricane Grill!  How does an 11 month old puppy disappear out of the site of 8 people??  Sad that it ended in a loss in Game 7 of the finals and even worse that it ended with that ridiculous riot!  Embarrassing!  Well, life goes on and we signed Bieksa today so that's great news.

We met a cutie patutie at the dog park!  Well I did.  Eve sniffs his dog a bit but she's female so that's no fun.  Anyways Cutie even offered to pick up Eve's poop yesterday.  What a guy!  We wonder what his name is!  We just call him Cutie From The Park!

We met with Michael and guide dog Cody on Sunday at Coopers Park.  Eve was so ecstatic to see Cody I couldn't get her leash off quick enough.  I couldn't believe she remembered him.  It had been awhile.  We had a lot of fun and it was a gorgeous afternoon.

We met with Linda today to go for a walk and check out Eve's progress.  Linda said of all the puppies Eve has had the most change.  Especially recently.  She is matured, grown and the biggest sweetheart ever!  I made Linda promise she is going to go to a very special person!  I can't even think about her leaving in November so we won't talk about that!

I guess you are wondering when I am going to get to the subject of MEAN BULL DOG in the title of this blog!  Well, Eve got roughed up yesterday by a mean bully of a puppy!  He ran at Eve and jumped on her, and bit her...BUT wait till you see him!  Tank is the cutest puppy I have ever seen (outside of Eve of course).   He's 8 weeks old,  fits in both palms of your hands, he's brown with a white scrunched up face and one white paw.  He has a thick red collar and his legs are tiny little stumps.  And he LOVES Eve.  Eve was amazing.  She was so gentle with the pup and let him roll on her and bite her.  I can't wait to share all the pictures I took.  I can only attach one photo per blog so enjoy the one attached here!  We love Tank (or was his name Hank?)!  Here he is roughing up Eve!

Day 254 - Week 37 THE PARADE AND BAD DAYS

On May 29, Eve and I participated in the Ladner May Day Parade with BC Guide Dogs.  It was a lovely spring day and a great day for a parade.  This was our first ever parade.  I think there were about 12 puppies and Eve and I enjoyed waving to the people as they oooooed and ahhhhhed as we walked by.  After the parade we all went for lunch with the puppies and we let them off leash to have a little play.  It was so funny.  They had a ball running after each other and it was a little tricky trying to catch them!

This past weekend Eve and I were at the dog park and started heading home.  We saw a lab puppy who is the same age and same colour as Eve. They could be sisters.  We have seen them over the past months but it had been awhile.  I let Eve say hello even though I shouldn't when she is on leash.  I learned my lesson.  The other dog attacked Eve, pinned her down and the owner had to pry her off.  Eve was hysterical and yelping and ran into my arms.  The other dog had bitten her face and she was bleeding a bit.  We made it home and then headed to Nikki's for dinner.

While at Nikki's Eve stuck her head in Tucker's doggie toy box which was located under the end table.  All of sudden the table started dragging across the room with Eve stuck under it.  What was going on?  The table had a lamp and lit candles on it and thankfully we came to the rescue in time.  Eve's collar was stuck on the curly decoration rod on the table and she couldn't get out!  Oh my goodness....that is why you need to take a dog's collar off when they are home alone.  You just never know what trouble they can get in to.  Poor Evey...she was having a bad day!

This is a photo of Eve and I at the parade!
