Welcome Home Techie (Again...Again)

So, Techie ran away again. He's basically been holding a grudge since he was unceremoniously booted out of the house when my daughter started crawling. So, he was found again and I decided to grant him passage back to the inner sanctum to spend the rest of his years in comfort (if you forget about the 3yr old that will torment him).

Techie's 12, which means that he will be not be with us much longer (if you believe the breed statistics). I think he still has a few more good years with us! His eyes are clouding over, he walks a bit gingerly from age, but he's still the silly naughty puppy that I brought home with me so many years ago.

I went to the pet store and guilt-purchased $90 worth of stuff: dog bed, nylabone, shed-x shampoo and supplement (ok, those purchases are for my benefit haha).

My daughter seems over the moon to have him in the house, and so does Jaime. I'm publicly complaining of the hair already, but I'm so happy to have him :-)

Welcome Home (AGAIN) Techie

Techie's intelligent and troublesome son, Techie Junior (TJ) let his dad out of the yard again on Friday. TJ came home, but of course Techie decided he'd stay out and depress me when I was trying to study for my final exam. We drove around for hours trying to locate him, but to no avail. I was especially sad in the morning when Mia was asking for the "wow wow" and I didn't write my exam with as much enthusiasm as I'm known for.

An email had been sent to the Belmopan Humane Society, who circulated it amongst their members. Later on Saturday afternoon, two lovely people saw him hanging out in the street near home and scooped him up and brought him back to me. Thank you so much. Not many people would want to put a stinky, shedding dog in their vehicle. You've made a little girl (and her mom and dad) happy!

Let me just say, Belmopan Humane Society ROCKS!

Near Death Naughty Syndrome

Techie has decided that since he almost died, he is going to be naughty because life is so short. He's started headbutting the bedroom door open (I had to put a hook and eye on it), darting out the front door when we're trying to leave, digging in the closet (again) and just being an all around ass**** LOL!

RIP little Dinky

Dinky belonged to my human grandma and she was at least 18 years old (if not more!) She passed on to doggy heaven this morning and we hope she'll say hello to Buster (the dog and the gingy cat), all the Ozzies especially Adam's little Ozzy (these people aren't very creative with names), Pippy, Taco, Tina, Rusty, Freddie and any other special animals we loved and lost.

Stylin'

Techie keeps licking at his stitches and is opening them up again, and with no e-collar available, we have resorted to these stylish teal pants. Thanks for the idea, Charlie! The pants are tied to his collar to stop them from falling down. I bet he's naked by the time I get home, though :-)

Techie loves Teddy

This post is for you Barb, stop tormenting me to blog for Techie lol!

Here he is cozying up to his teddy that his grandma bought for him at the market. It looks like he's licked open his stitches again...does anyone have an e-collar in this country!!!??

Update

Techie seems to be recovering, but I'm still watchful over him. He has to see the vet this morning because he licked open his stitches!

It's amazing to me how fast he came back from the brink; I really hope he stays with me a few more years. I'm not ready for him to leave me yet :-)
