DOGS AND MOVIES

This week was about getting the dogs in order.  The past six months effected the dogs in different ways.  Lulu, the little dog, became very aggressive toward Tracy.  At first I didn't know why and took her to a behaviorist to try and figure it out.  It became clear that she was protecting me from Tracy.  This little 9 pound dog would run up to Tracy and growl and try to bite her.

The bigger dog, Bubba, was very torn between us.  Bubba has always been closer to me and wanted to protect me but at the same time she wanted to spend time with Tracy.  She was confused.  She also didn't like all the yelling.

Toward the end of the six months Lulu became quite scared with Tracy's aggressive behavior and would jump up on furniture to get away from her.  Bubba would move her bedding as close to me as she could.

Bubba was acting so weird over the last few weeks.  Was she sick?  Was she heart broken?  Was her back bothering her (she had a bad back)?  I didn't know so I decided to take her to the vet and get her checked out.  They ran some blood and stuff and she came out fine.  We all agreed that it was probably a combination of bad back and heart broken.

Then I took Lulu to get her nails done and to get a bath.  That dog can smell so bad.  She doesn't get dirty but she smells so bad.  I call her stinky.  That should be her name.  They said she was so good.  I am not sure I believe them, I think they were being nice.  Lulu is a growly dog when she gets her nails done.  Her nails were so long it was an embarrassment!

I went to see another movie for free: Ted 2.  Now normally I probably would not go see Ted or Ted 2 in a movie theater but it was for free so why not.  It was fun for free!

At the end of the week I invited my 14 year old neighbor over to watch a movie.  He wanted to watch Big Hero 6.  It was a cute movie.  Boys are so funny at that age.  Sometimes you can't get them to shut up and other times you can't get them to say two words in a sentence.

This was a week of getting the dogs settled and back to normal and continuing to get myself back to normal by doing normal things.
