Wayne here,
Some of you readers may know that I have been having a terrible time with diarrhea. It has been so bad that I would have it in the middle of the night and it would be everywhere! I had it really bad with the Royal Canin puppy food that the school wants me to eat. It is just too strong for my stomach I guess so mom had to change my diet to Nutro. I was doing fine at first with having pumpkin in my food as long as it was in there EVERY time I ate, it not, then the diarrhea was back. I would already be fully housebroken if it weren't for this issue.
Mom has finally gotten to the point where she is sick and tired of having to clean up after me every time I eat and in the middle of the night, that we have taken a trip to the vet for some tests....the verdict is in and it looks like I have an infection in my intestines which is minor and treatable with antibiotics. You may be thinking that mom has been ignoring the problem, but believe me, she has tried everything she can think of before the vet visit. I had to go to the vet anyway to have my Canine Influenza vaccinne anyway, so why not treat the problem while we are there? There have been other dogs that have had this same issue when they were younger and it's just something that puppies get. I just take my 2 pills 3 times a day for a few days and I should be good as new. So far so good, so keep wishing me luck!
I will keep you updated on my progress.
Love,
Wayne

Winter Wonderland- Dec. 26,2010
Wayne here,
We had a very nice snow here in NC on the 26th. We got about 4-5 inches of snow in one night! We just missed having a white Christmas which doesn't happen often according to my mom. Oh well though, at least we got snow this year, and a good one at that. My family went outside to play in it and enjoy it while it lasted. We all had a blast! I especially loved to dig my head in it and throw my head back throwing it all over myself as if to cool down, even if it was not hot outside. Bristol and Jake chased their toys while I ran as hard as I could to keep up with them. It was gorgeous outside and we had a great time. It tasted snow good...hehe, I have to humor myself a little.
Here are some pictures that mom took of us while we played:
Oh what fun we had that day! Maybe we will get some more snow. I really like this cold weather.
Love,
Wayne

Underneath The Christmas Tree
Wayne here,
Our family did a little gift exchange this morning/ Santa Claus. Santa knew just what I wanted! He brought me a bone and some treats! Wow, I really like him. He knows what puppies want. Can he visit more often? I might have to make up a list for next year on what he can bring me wherever I happen to be.
It was a really good Christmas for me and I hope yours was as good.
Love,
Wayne

Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas everyone! I wanted to tell you all that it has been a great Christmas Eve for me so far and that I am looking forward to seeing what Santa brings me under the tree tonight since I have been a good boy for momma. I went last-minute Christmas shopping with the family last night at Wal-Mart and I did great! Not traction on the slick floors though and no accidents!! That was the best part.
I hope you all have a happy and safe holiday and that you get the opportunity to spend it with the people you love the most! I know I will. Mom and I will have to post some pictures of me soon.
Love,
Wayne

Pictures from Christmas Party- 2010
Just like I promised, here are the pictures which are a little blurry. With young pups like us all sitting in one spot together, what can you expect?
All in all, it was a great meeting. Good to see everyone again, especially my brother, Doc, and sister, Emmy. I don't get to see them often since they live so far away. Good times were had by all.
Love,
Wayne

| Oh yeah it was hard to sit still. |

| This would have been a really good one if I hadn't looked down and Emmy hadn't moved so that her face looks like a blur. |

Puppy Raiser Christmas Party!
Wayne here,
Tonight, our group had our Christmas party at a restaurant here in Albemarle, North Carolina. This is where we all get together and eat, fellowship, see each other's dogs to compare and contrast them, and exchange gifts.
Our group has a tradition that we have been doing sine we branched off into our own small group from the once really big group. That tradition is to play the Secret Santa game. For those of you not familiar with this game, it is played like this: everyone brings a gift (up to $10 or so) and puts it on the table either wrapped or in a bag.All of the Puppy Raisrs who brought a gift pick a number out of a basket and we go in order allowing each person to get a gift. Here is the twist, if you are next in line, you can either steal a gift that you really like from someone or you can choose a new gift that has not been selected yet. The person that was number 1 is able to steal from anyone once everyone has had a chance to get a gift. It's a super fun game. You never know what you will end up with by the end of the game. Mom's gift tonight was a bag of dog cookie mix and a small lint roller. Now I can have home-baked treats and she can be dog hair free when I start shedding really really bad.
Doc and Emmy were at the meeting tonight. Doc and Emmy are both so big! They make me look small and I am a chunky puppy! Our puppy raiseers were exchanging questions about us puppies trying to compare us together. We definitely are from the same litter. Since this is our one meeting for the month, all of the dogs were required to be there. We only have one meeting this month since Christmas usually falls when our second obedience training meeting is held and we know there will be people away visiting family at this time.
Our group also has a tradition that we do every year. The puppy raisers that have had a dog be matched in the past year (between last Christmas party and this one) gets something special at the meeting honoring thEm and the dog they raised. The puppy raisers all get a small stuffed dog that is matched to the best of the ability of the very special woman in our group who came up with this really neat idea. She orders a stuffed dog and makes a small leather harness to put on the dog representing it as a guide dog and names it the same name as the dog the puppy raiser raised. It is such a special treat when the puppy raisers have a dog be matched and are honored at this meeting. We had four dogs be matched this past year: Hugh (mom's 2nd dog that she raised. He is a Goldador), Duchess (Hugh's sister), Dave (Hugh's brother), and Dexter (Hugh's other brother). That's quite an accomplishment to have all of our littermates from one group be matched.
Pictures are coming up in the next post which is about 5 minutes from now...

It is Cold!!!!
Wayne here,
It is super cold here in North Carolina! We had a light dusting of snow yesterday. It is still cold enough to snow here right now, it just hasn't yet. We may get some later on in the week. I know everyone dreads going outside because the winds cuts through you like ice. It is terrible! I think it supposed to get down into the teens throughout the night. Brrr so glad I don't have to sleep outside.
Puppy love,
Wayne
