Heavens to Katie!


This isn't a picture of Katie, but it could be her twin!
Notice the expression.
Debbie asked how Katie was doing and the picture above pretty well answers the question. She is now spouting a little belly and has an attitude as big as all outdoors!
Roger made homemade pizza the other night. When Katie smelled it, she woke up from a sound sleep and started smacking.her.lips! So I gave her a piece of the crust...just crust. No pizza goodies on it. She sniffed and started howling and howling AND HOWLING! We checked to see if she needed to heed Nature's call, needed a drink, needed to pace.
Nothing doing.
Roger finally put some pizza sauce on the tip of his finger and offered it to her and she.went.bananas. The little snot did not want dry pizza crust because she could smell the Italian pizza sauce and SHE WANTED HER SAUCE! So Roger had to put a teaspoon of sauce in her bowl, she licked it up and then I rocked her back to sleep.
The next day we were running low on the special dog food the dachsies eat and with Katie eating so often, we decided to switch her to generic Cheerios for her snacks between meals. Roger fixed her a small bit with watered down milk and heated it up in the microwave. She woofed it down.
For the next snack, I said I didn't think she needed the milk so just to make it with water and heat it up. She looked at the bowl, she looked at me and she started to HOWL! I tried to feed her by hand and she locked her jaws. Roger took the bowl, added a minute amount of milk, reheated it and she woofed it down.
Her eyes are sparkling and she's filling out. She takes that big nose of her and sticks it in my face when she wants something...just like the dog at the top of the page. I sing her to sleep and if I don't sing a song with words and just do la la la, she looks up, sticks her nose in my face as if to say, "No la la la...I want words."
This is her favorite song:
So I would say that the Doggie Alzheimers is still with her, but she is doing better with everything else and the best medicine I could get at this time.
Now, I need you to do a chant for me.
Snow-snow-snow-snow
We're supposed to get between 3 and 5 inches this afternoon/tonight and I am so excited. I haven't played in the snow with Kelli in forever!
Also please think good thoughts and prayers for Kelli as it looks like one of her temp agencies is finally figuring out she'd be an asset to their company and she's to call back at 2 to see if they have an assignment for her.
Be good to yourself today and I want to hear what you did for you!
