I feel better

I haven't been feeling well the last few days. But I feel a lot better today. Probably because I vomited a sock last night. I don't remember when I ingested said sock, but it smelled pretty bad when it reappeared. I really need to stop eating laundry items. It never ends well for me. :-(

Welcome baby Anna!

Amos and I were very excited to learn we have a new (human) cousin! Anna Belle arrived today. We can't wait to meet her. We know our (canine) cousin Lucy will take good care of her new little sister. And to show our excitement...scary dog flash eyes!

Outdoor walk!

Today Amos, Beth and I took our first outdoor walk of the new year! It was wonderful. Especially since my knee is now 100%. I had my annual check-up this week and Aunt Emily said my knee was "as healed as it's ever going to be." I just need to go on a little bit of a diet to get down to my fighting weight and thereby reduce my chance of rupturing my other cruciate ligament.

Update for Ashley

Recently, there has been an outcry for more dog blog activity. This one's for you, Ashley.

Scary talking bear

A more appropriate title for this post might be, "Beth finally undecorates for Christmas." Now that it's February, apparently it's time for the seasonal decor to come down. I noticed Amos making a funny face:So I went to investigate. The culprit? A talking bear that was a gift from Grandma Dorothy last Christmas. The bear talked a lot. I guess he wanted his voice heard before he got closed in to the plastic tote and stowed in the garage.

Another post about napping!

I know, it seems like all I talk about is napping. What can I say - napping is awesome! Amos agrees. Even when he has to improvise a pillow. And the scary dog flash eyes!

Good Samaridog

Occasionally I entertain a guest blogger here at the Avery Dog Blog. Today's guest blogger is Gracie, my second cousin once removed. Well, it's actually her person, Aunt Lynne. Here's what happened:

On Wednesday night around 7PM, when it was cold and icy outside, our dog Gracie was doing something she had never done before. She didn’t come in when she was called. She was whimpering at the end of the sidewalk and looking down the street. Curious, her master opened the garage door to find a neighbor in a wheelchair stuck at the end of his driveway. Quickly the neighbor was returned to his house, safe and sound and out of harm’s way. Gracie was quoted as saying, “I did what any dog would have done. I knew something was not right and fortunately my master looked and took care of the situation.” Without Gracie’s vigilance, who knows what could have happened!!…Good girl, Gracie!
