Pumpkin Time

Maizy's second Halloween and she was all about inspecting carving the pumpkin.

 She must have not liked the mouth, because she chewed the teeth out after I put it outside.

Sleepover

Maizy got to have a sleepover at Toby's house. She was good for Ila and Frank. She only chewed up a piece of gum and then took the other piece to Ila. Glad she has learned how to share. She has seemed kinda of down. Maybe she is missing Toby the cat or all the attenion, since they had a lot of company. We now leave her out at night and she always jumps on the bed, but she never stays up there for too long. She really likes to sleep with her Green Bay Packer blanket. She even carries it around the house, just like a little kid.

Here to stay???

The family called the Monday before they were suppose to meet us and decided not to take her. So, while the boys and I were in Wisconsin, Ryan bonded with her. Jack still got his books.Now, she even enjoys a swim or just hanging out in the pool.

The last straw

Maizy will be going to her new family this coming Tuesday. The other night was the last straw, when she was out and chasing deer. Glad it's not deer season, or a hunter would have shot her. I think the whole family is relieved that she is going to a good home. The lady trains leader dogs and has teenagers. I feel they will be a better fit for her. Jack has said it is "o.k.", but he did negotiate 7 new "The Magic School Bus" books from Barnes & Noble.

It's Offcial

Graduation was this week. Maizy now has her certificate from the Mt. Pleasant, Kennel Club for completing puppy obedience class of 7 weeks. Now, I just need to keep on her. Jack came to the last class and had fun taking her thru the obstacle course.

Another hunter in the house

Maizy has really been honing her hunting and caturing skills lately. First, she just chase and bark at the turkeys. Next, she got a bird, then a mouse and now she got three baby chipmunks. Of course she has to put them on the front ponch in front of the door, so we can see them. She likes getting Ryan's approval.

Digging

I have tried everything except the chicken wire to stop the digging. Red Crushed Pepper worked for a little and so did the Black Pepper. Maybe she can't smell, but I sure can the Cayanne pepper sure made my nose itch. I really hope she grows out of this stage, since I want to clean up the flower beds and do some planting.

Puppy School

We have now gone totwo puppy classes. She walks thru the door and turns into the most mild manner dog. Does everything I ask her to and the it is tim to go home. Every Tuesday Jack asked "where is my dog?", I always tell him to open the door. There she is sitting in the garage. He really love his dog.

She really does eat everything

Last night the boys gave her finger jell-o and she ate it. Today she was trying to eat the bubbles. The carpet will have to be repaired, since she chewed a whole in the middle of the bottom step.I was ready to get rid of her that day, but I just can't do that to Jack. He loves her so much. What does Quilted Northern have in it?She is always chewing the cardboard part and shreds the rest of it. Now, Toilet paper that is one I will never understand. I have finally taken it off the roller and put it up on the counter.
This week she will be starting puppy school.

Ball hog

She seems to get into all the kids activities. She even got the soccer ball, after chasing it between Jack and I kicking it. We wore her out, so she would take a nap.

Maizy tends to be a good sport. Her she is this past Christmas with antlers on.

Maizy's Night Out

Yeah!! We decided she is ready to spend all night out of her crate. She started on our bed and then got down. Ryan said, he let her outside around 1:30am and then she went down stairs. Her blanket was warm, so she must really like her crate. No accidents and nothing was destroyed. She was not as hyper as she usually is in the morning.

Just say No to playdough!

I was try to console Tyler, who slipped and bumped his chin. Maizy decided to try all the small cans of play dough. Let's just say it did not agree with her. Trying to get liquified blue playdough out of the carpet is even tough for Spot shot. We so need to get the carpets professionally clean now.

Moisturizer

Yesterday she must have had a dry mouth. Instead of water, she decided to chew a tube of shea butter. Only a little bit and didn't get sick.
