Southern Love

Sometimes you need some love from your pup. Suthy.

Southern: no more balls

Southern is very active. I mean very very active. So as a last resort to calm him down I got him neutered. I am sure Bob Barker would be proud of me. But Southern getting his balls removed did NOTHING for his craziness. I have a friend who had her dog neutered two weeks before Southern and she went on and on about how much her dog changed.  But not Southern. He was running and jumping and barking right out of surgery. The take home paperwork stated no running no jumping etc. And the tech just looked at me and said disregard that hes already done everything on this page and he is just fine. The only request she gave me was to make sure he didn't mess with his stitches.
I even spent 17 bucks on this cone. It only lasted 3 days. But 3 is better than none.

Delta Anne & Southern: 6 month check up

I decided to have their check ups separate because they are too much to deal with together.



 Delta did pretty good. Minus taking a huge poop in the grassy knoll( grassy knoll anyone get that?) in front of the office. I kinda of looked at it and kept going. I'm sure there is some" pick up your pups poop" situation but I'm a rebel so suck it.
Delta still has heart worms and we are going to get some aggressive treatment which is going to cost me a butt load but I dont want to wake up one morning and she's gone. Her cough apparently has something to do with it so she had to get a shot and antibiotics. Everyone thought she was just soo cute. I am pretty sure she was just being sweet because at home she cant be trusted. Delta weighed in at 51.4 lbs. She has gained at least 20lbs since we've gotten her.


Southern was a complete clown. For some reason it takes me pushing his hind legs into the truck to get him in. But when he gets in he is so excited. Southern is def a boy. He flirted with anyone who walked by or looked his way. He had way too much energy for me so we are going to get that taken care of. All 55lbs of him were perfect. 9 months and 55 lbs. Crazy!

Stuntin like his mother

I am seeing a serious similarity between me and Southern.

Delta -Anne & Southern Dash : A rescue story

On February the 13 we had bring your dog to work day. Our clinical director was on vacation and she hates dogs. So we decided to bring our dogs to work and take pictures of them around the office.

It's been about 8 months since our Noella passed away . A lot of my friends have been pushing me to get another dog. But I just wasn't ready yet. I've gone to the shelter once or twice but none of the dogs made me remotely happy. 

My friend ET wanted to go to the shelter since she didn't bring her dog to work and invited Chels and SE.

The shelter closest to our work wasn't open yet but the lady let us come in after SE told the owner that my puppy passes away. I decided when Noella passed away I didn't want another small dog . I really wanted a  khaki lab. No Idea why but that's just what was on my mind.
 There were 2 dogs  at the shelter that I thought were cute but none of them made me excited . So we went to the other shelter. We walked in and the second dog  fit my description to a T of what I wanted. The worker who was patrolling around was kinda strange but he asked if I wanted to walk her and I said yes but I wanted to wait until I saw all the dogs.

While looking through the shelter I realized that first pup was the only one I really liked.

The shelter helper put her on a leash and she took off. She was super hard to control but I imagined she was tired of being in that smelly pin.   I decided that she was going to be my dog . I already had options for names so I immediately started calling her Delta . I left her outside with SE so I could go get cash and while I was out I got a call from a friend at the office . She told me one of her friends got a yellow lab puppy from a lady on FB who lives near Ruston. Her dog had 11 puppies and after several weeks of caring for them they just couldn't anymore due to expenses. I told her to tell the lady I wanted one . I went back to the shelter picked up Delta Anne and signed paperwork.

My friend Chels ended up getting a dog to surprise her husband for valentines day.  So here we are 4 girls 2 huge dogs in a Nissan Altima  which leather seats

When we got back to work Delta was in full force running across the parking lot . We got into the office where everyone was at with their dogs and 2 minutes later Delta squats and poops the smelliest and largest turd in canine life .

One of my co workers took her outside as I removed the crap from our carpet.

( what a great first impression.) Then of course I had to take her to my house to change cars and then to the vet we went.
I chose a vet that I heard a friend of mine talk about. All the girls thought Delta Anne was a precious name and how adorable she is. I really cant believe someone didn't want to adopt her.

1st car ride!- You see I had no idea how to put this harness on . ( 5 minute Dirt Cheap special)

 The vet checked her out and to Pet Smart and the Dollar Tree  we went to buy goodies.

I had been texting the lady from Fb all evening and she was coming through my town to go out of town so I met her at Brookshires.  When she pulled up she had two kids in the car. I could see her daughter mouthed " you're meeting a black woman" And the lady said "apparently so. " Imagine my disgust  ( eye roll and side eye)  After some small talk I got my hands on the precious soft little little boy. His name is Southern Dash .  I had Delta Anne in the car and she said Oh you have a older lab too. Oh great I'm so happy. Little did she know I just got Delta too.

HA

 

The End!
