MY DOG STUEY

OK So Stuey went to the vet for his check-up after last week and and the anal gland thing. And his butt is in tip top shape. The vet asked if he liked ppl and basically he will deal with others but he loves his mother dearly - me.

Pat and Kevin came home after a horrible flight and waiting at the airport for 10 hours due to flight issues - and got back on Thursday anight and Pat was so sweet and brought Stuey back this cute little Old Navy sweater. Since Stuey is so much like his mama and loves to be warm at all costs - he will not be naked at all and just loves the two sweaters he has. The one Pat brought back is red, white, and blue. Love those colors and it slips so much easier on him than the one I got him which has cuffed sleeves and waist.

Stuey is pretty much spoiled and for the last few days he will be in bed and spoon with me or he will stick his butt in my face. My darn dog is so funny.

Stuey's grandmother and great grandmother, cousin, and aunt is coming for a vist for one week in 2.5 weeks - this will be their first visit here to AZ. Work well we won't talk about that one.

Stuey had a great Xmas - he had a good breakfast and got to play and today he got to go for two walks so he is a tad tired tonight.

Hoping to get to BestBuy and get items for the camcorder to get videos of Stuey up on this site or on youtube.

So Pat and Kevin are in Florida at the moment and I am watching my dog, Stuey, and their 4 dogs PJ, Darby, LadyBugs, and Pepper, and the cat Phillip. Thursday I slept in their bed quite restlessly and I tried again Friday night and that just wasn't going to be the case. Darby and PJ moving around, Pepper in his kennel, and Stuey licking the comforter top to bottom and head to toe - all of them could not sleep together at all that night.

On Saturday most of the dogs hung around or scratched at the door and came into the guesthouse (seeing as I disabled the tv in the main house somehow-I believe the power went out on Friday). And then we all played toss and jump around outside as soon as it got warm. And then I took them on shift walks. Pepper and Stuey the little guys and then PJ and Darby the walks were only about 15 mins each but they were excited to get out. Ppl must have thought I was bizarre with one set of dogs and then 15 mins later another set of dogs. Thank goodness we didn't run into any strays - and bugs of course she was a no go. But Bugs has been pretty much by my side hanging out and needing to have her ears rubbed.

Last night PJ stayed in the guest house with Stuey and I and both of them fell asleep on the Settee and left me with about 1 foot of room to set my butt down so I got a picture of it.

2 days til Santa comes - yippee.

STUEY would like to wish everyone a Barky holiday and a Barky New Year.

So Stuey had to go to the vet on Monday because his anal glands were a tad stopped up. He is almost 9 lbs now and almost twice what he was when I got him. And at the vet he got his butt cleaned and has to wear a cone for a week. Imagine that. When they put it on I about burst out laughing cuz it was sooooooooooo cute and then I just felt so bad for him. He is fairly used to it right now but there are times I look at him and my heart feels bad but other than that he is quite cute as a conehead. I have posted new pics.

Pat thought Stuey was mighty funny and that he looked like he was getting good reception and probably getting digital cable. And we got Stuey on cam trying to get through the doggy door and his cone doesn't fit and he tries a couple of times and then he is like screw this and just decides to wait at the door. And then a couple of times he just bends down to lick his toes or dig at something and the cone lies completely flat and it is like his head is in the sand.

So all in all my dogs rear end is better and he is going back to the vet on Monday. He also is eating rice and hamburger the last few days so that his stool is easier coming out. I do NOT believe that my dog will ever go back to eating dog food after getting a taste of the good rice stuff.

Talk about spoiled.

And then tonight I got a package from some friends - no name nothing but on the box it was addressed to Amy and Stuey - and I finally figured out who it was from it was awesome. My friends know me so well - so very sweet and they included items for Stuey - so friggin awesome.

Thanks to everyone for an amazing holiday - I appreciate and love all y'alls.

OK so I haven't gotten up any new pics recently but I have been working my arse off and just haven't had time but I hope to be able to put up some video soon. Pat and Kev got me the coolest xmas gift a - handheld camcorder so that I can capture Stuey and put him on youtube. I totally have to get him red-bulling which is the best.

Stuey is a tad under the weather right now. His anal glands need to be released so he has been rubbing his butt along the floor and licking and trying to get rid of them himself but he has not been successful and yesterday he rubbed em until they bled so know he will probably have to have them released from the inside out. Not a fun thing so he is going to the vet tomorrow. So Stuey has had an eventful two weeks so far with his weiner, hurting his leg, and now his butt. Oh lord but I wuv my dog so I will do what I have to do in order to get him better. But I know one thing he is loving about having a soar butt is that he gets to have rice and hamburger as his meals because it is easier to digest and he LOVES it. Eats that up all the way.

So tomorrow is the vet and after that he should be in better spirits and I can totally cam him and put it on youtube and maybe put some vids on here once I figure out how that goes.

Hi. I am going to try and post some of Stuey and I's Xmas photos as well as some photos of Stuey wearing Joey's old rain coat. And those are some darned cute pix.

Took all the dogs for a walk today and we are on our last leg back and Stuey got excited at some doggies barking so he tore off towards them and he must have stepped in a hole because he let out a yelp and I thought he had broken his little left hind leg. He didn't but it is still very tender and soft so he limps a little bit. He runs and then catches himself so he probably pulled a muscle or let's not hope worse. If he continues limping or being active and then limping I will have to take him to the vet.

PJ and Darby, Pat and Kevin's dogs, because Pat has been out here on the computer today have been very needy constantly jumping on the door and begging to be let in - plus they probably think they are being snicky in getting into my house and trying to eat Stuey's food. I am so onto them.

Let me try and post some pics.

So I have told a few ppl what happened with Stuey and that I had to leave work to take care of my dog and his willy problem and I must have some pretty funny friends because I have gotten some pretty funny voice mails and emails. My new nickname is apparently "Tugger" when in actuality it should be "pusher".

So as a pet parent I now know that my dog can be excited and get his little nubbin caught and keep it out for several hours.

I was so afraid that he might get an infection or that it would dry out but it didn't. It is so odd because everyone says well isn't your dog fixed and I am like well yes he is but he must still have a lot of testostorone running through his veins because certain toys thrill him.

So Sunday night I decided to bring out one of Stuey's favorite toys. Albeit it is one of his favorite humping ones I figured hey it had been put away for a bit so I would bring it out. It is Cat the caterpillar and his other one Mel the Mallard.

So Stuey always gets so excited with Cat and just goes to town on her. He was doing his thing and got so excited he fell over backwards and almost fell off the sofa.

So when it was time to go to bed I noticed that Stuey's private parts were still sticking out of his bag so I was took away the toy and threw it in the washer. We went to bed.

When I got up in the morning I noticed Stuey still has his thingamajig still sticking out and I was like it has been 11 hours Stuey put it away.

I decided to be on the safe side and call the vet after I touched it because I thought maybe it was dried out and couldn't go back in so I called the vet and this is what I said.

"Ummmmmmm hi this is Amy A.... Stuey's mama the owner of the 7 lb Brussels Griffon. Well last night I brought out one of his toys and even though he is fixed he gets excited around it. Well his willy is still stuck out and I don't know if it is stuck or what I can do to put it back in - I mean I know what to do for a human man but I don't know what to do for my dog. Can you please call me at ...... and tell me how to put my dog's sword back in it's sheath".

So Amber called me and said it happens once in awhile and I would have to put it back in when I got home and if I couldn't do that then I needed to bring him in and they would put it back in for me. I expressed that I would try and would I have to pick up some KY Jelly for it and she said yes.

So when my boss came in I told her that I needed to leave work early and go home and try and put my dogs' privates back in its cage. She laughed and said better you than me and I told her she wasn't funny. So I left work at 3:15 and went to the gas station (I figured they sold condoms so they would have KY they didn't) and then I went to the supermarket and went to the aisle where KY was and had to choose a variety. This stuff is like $10 a bottle on sale so I got it and went through the self check out and put it in my bag. I am grateful that I didn't get stopped on the way out cuz what would I say that it was for ----my dog how weird would that have sounded.

So I got home and I got Stuey and held him up and low and behold most of his little tool was back in. So I didn't have to ply and do alot of pushing with KY to get it back in. Thank god.

So that is it for Stuey and I's bonding experience. He had a woody for at least 12 hours that I know of and I don't know when during the day that he relaxed and loosened up and became non-excited so that he could get it back in himself.

Let me tell you - Stuey had his first pig ear today. I don't know if I will give them to him very often. That dog has the bad silent bombs. Sitting there and then all of a sudden - thump - I get a wiff of one. They smell like really bad refried beans/taco toots. Awful. And he does them silently like I can't tell.

And I inquired about agility for him and obedience training and most classes don't start until January or February.

And I am going to try and post some pictures right now. The silver jacket says Killer on it - now idn't that just so appropriate.

Well here it is December 1. And I must admit to being lazy the last week - or very busy at work that I come home and play with Stuey and then I am just so tired so off to bed we go.

It poured rain last night and it is pouring again today so everyone is hanging inside and doing inside work and you know what that means. Cleaning, laundry, pc work, wrapping xmas gifts etc. I am getting my boxes ready to take to the post office to ship out and then I might take Stuey for a walk if the rain lightens up. He gets cold easily so I am awaiting mother's package of old clothes from Joey (so sad that it will be a year since his passing) and I know that it still breaks my mothers heart and to hear her voice when she talks about it hurts mine too. She is in Portland right now so Bill has Pup and Pup is getting very very old. Problems with pottying and can't find his way around - so very sad but they get old and then they pass on. I cannot imagine that sadness.

Stuey is running around right now jumping on everything he can find. Basically being very ornery jumping on me, chewing on my arm like it is a rag doll and now you guessed it he wants to jump on my lap whilst I type - yah right.

Pat and Kevin leave for Florida in 19 days and then I will have 5 dogs and one cat and I will be a busy girl with all of them and with working also but I did it in July so this will be a walk in the park.

Stuey and I should be getting xmas PetSmart pictures in a couple of weeks. Have to have those cute ones taken with STuey in a red sweater and reindeer ears and his mama in anything that might fit.

More pictures should be posted today as soon as I figure out the new system that Kevin put on here.

Pat said he figured out what Stuey looks like besides a monkey - one of those things from the 70's - those carved coconut heads. And Stuey is attached to Kevin sometimes and Kevin has shown me how to rub/scratch inside Stuey's ears cuz he melts when Pat and Kevin do it but not me. He must remember me and when I go for his ears that I am putting the meds like I had to when he had that infection.

So today was Saturday and most of us just laid around and didn't do 1/8 of what we were supposed to. Stuey and I were both so tired (since we got up and went to Black Friday) from getting up at almost 4 am that we crashed last night and went to bed before 8:30 pm and slept until 6 am. And I mean slept through the night without waking up to even go pee- either of us. But I got these blankets at Mervyn's and I kept one red one because it has doggies on it. Stuey began sleeping on it and for the first time ever I can even go into another room, go into the main house or whatever and if he is sleeping on or with that blanky he doesn't move. And then I let him sleep with it last night covering him up and he didn't move. So sweet. I took some pictures of him napping under it and will post it later. I will also be posting some new pics of him with his hair cute - all the dogs went to the groomer on Wednesday - and then there will be some pictures of him from behind the sofa (Pat was holding him up). So I will have some purty pictures. AND my familia when they go to look at the website in order to see the pictures of him need to go to the bottom of the picture/gallery page and hit page 2 and maybe page 3 in order to see all of the pictures I have of him. CAN you say the above is a run on paragraph and sentences.

Took Stuey for a walk tonight and he was real slight about it - almost like he was a little scared but probably because ppl don't slow down and the fact that we were basically attacked by a dog on Thanksgiving day - this big black dog came from out of nowhere and I just swung Stuey around 320* so that he would wind up in my arms so that I could kick AT the other dog and scream. Then the owners came running up and grabbed their dog after it just kept after us. It amazes me that ppl are so friggin stupid as to let their dogs - aggressive or otherwise - roam wild. Next time it happens I will have no problem calling the police or dog department and reporting them. I still go back to the old school mentality in MT/WY = if your dog is messing on my property and attacking or harrassing our animals I have EVERY right to shoot and possibly kill your dog. If I was really threated by a dog and I had Stuey I wouldn't hesitate to try and knock the shit out of an animal. Right now with the episode on Thanksgiving all I did was scream bloody murder and hang onto Stuey and kick AT the dog - never touching her.

I will post new pictures later.

Hi. So Stuey and I spent Thanksgiving alone - which was great. Did some housework and played will all the animals. yes 6 dogs and 1 cat. Oh lord.

Stuey got two spankings yesterday and put into the guest house twice. I need to break him of some very very bad behaviours like bullying and trying to nip the other dogs when they get a treat. He gets one and then I try and give the other dogs one and he runs over and nips so he did that got his butt swatted and then put in the guesthouse for 20 minutes alone. And last night before we went to bed he decided to pee on the cushion of one of the patio chairs right in front of me. Spanking and put in the guest house for 10 mins.

Now he is chewing a bone and I have been up for 2 hours - I should have gone to Mervyn's Black Friday but I waiting to feed the dogs and then I will go.

Other than that I hope y'all have a great TG weekend.

I will be putting on a few new pictures of Stuey this morning - in his "burrrr its cold out" red sweater. He does look so cute. Now if only I can get him to wear the reindeer ears so that he gets used to them for our Christmas pictures. Not much happening here except for Pat's mother brought down her dog to stay - Honey is her name - while she is out of town and Stuey is in love with her. Chases her everywhere. Mind you this dog is about the size of a German Sheppard - yet Stuey thinks he is a total stud and goes to town on her leg. Humpy Humpy and she just trots off and her and Stuey play "follow the leader" all day. But she lets him know if she has had enough.

Stuey goes into the groomer on Wednesday - He will get a massive haircut - but I want his brows and beard - I want his beard to get massively long.

That is it so far a boring Sunday morning - nice and relaxing.

OK so I got up at 4:45 this morning - I have lots of things to do and get ready for. Breakfast out, go to the storage unit and get stuff out, and go to the MT Cat/Griz game at bar here. Maybe there will be some cute white boys.

But I thought I'm gonna take Stuey in the shower this morning with me and I did - but I don't think he was all that impressed and as soon as I let him down he was out and went tearing off soaking wet. After I completed my portion of the shower I hopped out and dried off and Stuey was waiting for me. And then I grabbed him and put him in a towel - and then and only then did he start shaking. He proceeded to shake really hard for a bit - but I know that he wasn't cold - he was seriously playing his mama for all that he could.

Kevin is in here now and Stuey is being ornery and growling at him playfully and then red bulling around.

Hi. So I had to go to a company function after work today and wouldn't be home until later in the evening. I did miss my dog and sometimes you can only take so much of ppl so I left early and got home at 8:30 pm and boy was Stuey glad to see me. Waiting at the door and then he just sat in my lap outside and melted (usually he sits upright) but he just sat on me, let me give him belly rubs and hugs and gave me kiss after kiss after kiss. And he wouldn't let me out of his site.

So we went to bed and he insisted on snuggling right up next to me and sleeping next to me the whole night and basically just loving on me. It is so sweet - I can see how attached I am to him and I can see that he is attached to me. Maybe he wuvs me and I am not just the one who feeds him or plays with him it is so sweet.

Yah we have this w/e off I am going to try and take him hiking at least once during this busy w/e because he deserves it.

Let me tell you - Stuey is so sweet when I come home in the evening after work. All the dogs hear my car pull up and then I come to the fence and they are all standing there waiting for me barking - except for Stuey who starts jumping around and running back and forth being excited and doing his 'red bulling'. It is so sweet and that is what coming home feels like. So sweet, cute, loving, and loyal - yep that is my Stuey.

And last night we went to bed and he played a bit and then he tired himself out and laid down and went to bed. Because there isn't a time change in Arizona it is always so dark in the mornings and the last two I have had to wake Stuey up because he was just sleeping so hard. And then of course he gets his morning massage.

Last night Pepper and Stuey both got baths and scrub downs from Pat and they both had ticks - Stuey only a couple - but poor Pepper was doused in them. NOT anymore - they are tickless and happy now.

Hi Stuey had a rough night last night. About 3 am I woke up and he was barfing everywhere - big pile here big pile there - and then he gives me those soft eyes so I knew he was in pain. Poor little bugger. So I'm cleaning up dog vomit at 3 am that soaked through the comforter and through one sheet and then another. But that is what a mother is supposed to do so I do not complain.

I do think he must have had too many carrots with his dinner last night because that is what filled the sheets with vomit. Even though carrots are much better for him than the treats I still think he may have overdosed on the orange vegetable.

Made contact with an indiviual yesterday that I shouldn't have - but what can I say - everyone has a retarded moment now and then. Sometimes they are just bigger moments than one should have.

I also have a new domain for a new website that I purchased yesterday. This one will be a money maker. It will be all about opinions and thoughts and definitely will not be so G rated as my Stuey one - so I might post the address here one day - but it really isn't for my family to see.

Happy Saturday - it is only 63* here this morning.

OK sometimes people ask me especially when I go to PetSmart or Petco - what kind of dog is that? And I tell them he is a BG or a Brussels Griffon - ppl who think he is a yorkie or whatever, please fancy reading a dog book so that you can know the differences in breed. Even though it is ok not to be stupid and ask I will always tell you. Most ppl think he is the dang cutest thing and of course from a mother's eye he sure is.

He is a great companion - BG's are very velcro like. I cannot even leave the room to go to the restroom without him up and following and sitting right beside me whilst I use the restroom.

And of course he sleeps on the bed with me - he has 3/4 of it in case he needs to roam or get comfortable. But he is a good bed partner because most of the time he just crashes unless I have to take him out in the middle of the night.

Evening. So mother called me last night to tell me she was watching "There's Something ABout Mary" and swears that my little Stuey is the same kind of dog that jumped out of the bathroom at Ben Stiller. I watched a recap of the movie and it just might be.

Stuey is a tad bit very mellow today. And today he had his first french fries every - and let me tell you Stuey and French Fry gas is not a good thing.

And I noticed that he has a cut on him so he must have ticked off Phillip the cat and finally got taken down. He has been very mellow tonight - laying on the sofa and doing nothing and I always feel like something is wrong with him or he doesn't wuv me anymore. I must be a very neurotic pet parent.

I am reading the book by the dog whisperer and I am thinking I need to change some of my parenting skills - I do the best that I can - but I know that Stuey does need some obedience rules and guidelines. And I really must look into getting him into mommy and me training and then into Agility - he would be so great at it.

This is the w/e of Sharon and everything coming to a head - good for you Pat and the w/e D. called me and told me about Philly cream cheese. So sad about that - I feel for her and for his parents- absolutely devastating.

Good morning friends and family,

I was going to try and blog/type with Stuey on my lap - NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT! So we are not going home to MT/WY for the holidays - just cannot afford it after the mess up with plane tickets and then the cost of trying to get a new one plus the fact that I will be very very busy at work.

Stuey is a little pistol and is still ornery but very loving. Lately he has been in love with Pat and Kevin - sitting on their laps and looking at me like - nah nah nah nah. And givine me sideways glances like I own you mother but I can also try and own other ppl. Such a little turd - and speaking of turds I guess I have to buy this stuff called Adolph's Meat Tenderizer and stick it on the cats food which will make his turds unappealing to the dogs - cuz Stuey sometimes comes up and watch to kiss me and he smells like a turd factory.

TGIF. Woohoo.

OK. I have been meaning to tell you Stuey's new Indian name - now I know that it is not politically correct but I am not really that way so Stuey's Indian name is: Stuey Long Tongue. I swear he can lick an ear out or bend his head back and lick my neck - he is so funny.

And right now he is being a stinker cuz he knows he has to go into the house when I go to work.

Pat wants me to take a picture of Stuey and then get in laminated and put it on a pumpkin and carve a Stuey pumpkin tonight. I haven't decided if I will do that or if I will just carve the old fashioned way of triangles and jagged mouth.

If I decide to put Stuey in a costume I will put it up here later. I should put him in a little devil costume.
