Sweater Vest for Betty!

It's finally gotten chilly enough around here for Momma to order the 1st of many sweater vests from  Melissa at Pug Notes.

Betty got her sweater vest today! Since Betty doesn't have a thick coat, she was getting cold really easy. Her new sweater couldn't have arrived at a more perfect time!

Taaaa Daaaa.  Doesn't she look purty?

Thanks Melissa! We can't wait until momma orders more!

Love,

I thought this was our Smushiemobile!

Momma is really testing our patience!!

The smushiemobile is for the sole purpose of transporting us where we need to go, or to pick up our foodables..

What's this???

Non-Smushies! And what's with the strange noises they make?

 Momma said she ALWAYS wanted big white ducks. Well, she got 'em! But the dumb dumb didn't think about bringing a carrier with her when she went to pick them up. Bahhhh!  

Good thing she put a tarp in the back because they pooed the entire way home. Thankfully our Smushiemobile is not damaged by the nuclear duck poop. Butt whoa, talk about stench! And everyone thought Frienchie farts were bad.

Still helping momma with deodorizing the Smushiemobile...

Stella, Gunther, Betty and Marge

Happenings at the Ranch

We have to keep this super secret from Stella since Momma is talking about a,  shhhh C.A.T. You all know how much Stella dislikes cats (aliens). So we'll just keep this post between us.. okay?

We have a kitty that has adopted us! That's right, his name is RC (short for Ranch Cat). So creative dad... uh yeah.

 He follows us EVERYWHERE! Except for the yard, because Gunther thinks he doesn't belong there considering Stella's feelings and all. 

So, since RC can't make furiends with the Smushies, he decided to make furiends with the Alpacas and Joe!

He's always hanging out with them..

 

Even when they eat!

They don't seem to mind though, in fact, we think the Alpacas kinda like having him around.

 

So Stella won't think it's all about the cat (alien)... we also wanted to share our new yard.  Momma and daddy put in new grass for us. Betty loves to scratch and tickle her belly on it.

Daddy also took us with him to snoopervise while he walked one of the pastures. It's really really hard work, but someone's gotta do it!

Lot's of love,

Marge Update

Marge is home from having the 1st stage of her surgeries. She's not feeling the best, but nurse Stella has not left her side!

Marge, you rest. I'll gnaw on your favorite toy until you feel better...

Dr. Stephens expected to go in and remove a flap of skin (elongated soft palette) that we thought was blocking her airway. As it turned out, that wasn't the problem. It's a big flap of skin/ tissue that is blocking her sinus passages. So basically that piece of tissue is sucked into Marge's nasal passages when she tries to breath, eat or drink. This type of surgery requires a specialist, so Marge will have to wait a couple weeks to have this done.

In the meantime, Marge was spayed (no more puppies for her!!) and she had her ears scoped while under anesthesia. Dr. Stephens removed a growth that was blocking her left ear canal and was able to get some medication into both ear canals to help with the inflammation. Sadly, there is quite a bit of scar tissue so the likely hood of her recovering full hearing is slim to none. 

After Ms. Marge recovers from her spay, she'll be seen by the specialist to complete her surgery.  Until then, she'll be resting and recovering under the watchful eye of her fellow smushies. 

Lot's of love,

Tommorow is the big day!!

Momma wants to first thank everyone for the love, support and donations we've received for Marge!

Tomorrow is a big day for Marge. It's the beginning of her new life without difficulty breathing, eating and drinking. Yaaahooooo! 

The doc is also going to see how he can help her ears so she can regain some hearing. Keep your paws crossed everyone!!

Momma says the donations are going to help greatly. So, we're gonna keep putting the word out because it's like a $1,000 green ones to get Marge in tip top shape.  Please help spread the word furiends!

What? They don't call me large Marge for nothin'!~

Lot's of love,

The Smushies
