Ignoring him

Posted on January 22, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

Someone will not settle down and someone needs a nap.   Maverick is the first, I think I’m the second.   I can deal with the “I will not take a nap” thing, most days.   What I can’t deal with is the … Continue reading →

Puppies are so much fun

Posted on January 21, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

I’ve been up for 4 hours.    During that time, I’ve accomplished this much – I read a few pages about creating something for my class, I read emails for my class and I tossed a ball, endlessly tossed a … Continue reading →

Randomly ranting about rescue

Posted on January 12, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

I think, if I see one more “adopt, don’t shop” post, I am going to throw up, loudly, explosively, and messily. In the past few days, I’ve had 3 encounters with dogs at the park that have not gone well.  … Continue reading →

Stupid weather

Posted on January 10, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

We were scheduled to start tomorrow with a private trainer but the weather is not co-operating.   I hate Winter. So after a great deal of thought, we’re going to start over.  Again. And I think it’s going to be mostly … Continue reading →

And a wonderful walk was had

Posted on January 7, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

by me.   It seems some days that training a puppy is two steps forward and three steps back.   Lately, walking has been singularly unsuccessful.  After another day of having my arm yanked out of the socket, or so it seemed, … Continue reading →

Planners and plans

Posted on January 2, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

About a month ago, with the grand idea of getting totally organized about this puppy training thing, I bought a planner just to record our progress and our failures, to write down what worked and what didn’t. I started out … Continue reading →

Oh Little One, must you scare the Mommah?

Posted on November 20, 2018 by suziecreamcheese

Maverick and I went to visit our favorite doctor today – he has a “something” on his foot and Mommah worries.   I thought it was a tick but it’s not going away, he’s licking and it’s red and it looks … Continue reading →

Love in a bundle of fur

Posted on June 29, 2018 by suziecreamcheese

Max was many things, but he was not much of a cuddler.   He loved people, but he was happy to have some distance between himself and anyone but a few.   He would put his head on my lap, push himself … Continue reading →

Sleep deprived but not love deprived

Posted on June 27, 2018 by suziecreamcheese

I really didn’t want to love this little terror.  I didn’t want to open myself up to this pain, this searing, unending pain, this loss that doesn’t get better with time, not again.  And then they put him in my … Continue reading →

Saying hello without saying goodbye

Posted on June 22, 2018 by suziecreamcheese

Almost ten weeks ago, we let Max go.   Tomorrow we bring home Maverick. I’m still grieving.   I still look for Max everywhere, in the family room on his rug, in the kitchen in front of the sink, where he always … Continue reading →
