Stressed puppy?

When we first got our little guy, i already noticed that he always licked his front paws. When i asked the vet to look at his paw if there was anything there that he was getting at, he said there was nothing there and he might just be grooming himself.

That was more than a year ago. Last night while Chaos was “grooming” himself, we saw a red spot on his paw. He licked it bald!

I researched a little about obsessive actions like licking themselves for no particular reason, and read that these are sometimes signs of stress.

My poor baby! I just want him to be okay.

Angel…

The first time that I saw you

Almost brought tears to my eye.

You were such a beautiful baby

It made me want to cry.

 

Then they laid you in my arms

And boy did you try to break free

But when I loosened my grip on you

You just climbed to my face and kissed me

 

I knew right then that I wanted you

So I told the guy “We’ll take her”

To those who said you can’t buy love

Might not have been a puppy lover.

 

That was more than 2 years ago

I can’t believe you’re turning three

It seem not so long ago

When you were just a puppy.

 

Now you’re a mommy too my dear

Making me a proud granny

But doesn’t matter how many litters you have

You are and will always be my baby.

My Little Boy…

Dear sweet little boy,
My sunshine with four feet.
Love of my life
You make me complete.

You know all my secrets,
My raves and my rants.
You know about my dreams,
My needs and my wants.

You listen with your eyes
And your paw on my hand,
And though you don’t say a word
I know you understand.

You seldom complain
And never criticize,
But it breaks my heart every time
You plead with your eyes.

Dear sweet little boy,
Don’t look at me that way,
It pains my heart to leave you
But it’ll only be for the day.

Angel

Angel has been with us since she was 3 months old and since then, she became a very precious part of our family. I had 2 nephews when I left for Canada, now I have 3 and going on 4, so Angel is the only princess. And like any baby, we  documented her growth with pictures upon pictures of pure cuteness!!

Angel with her fave toy Mr. Penguin who we brought to Canada with us. Mr. Penguin lost a lot of filling, but he is still Angel's favorite

Yin Yang

It must really be fate that brought our Chaos to us…

I’ve had a lot of comments about how cool their names are…  ANGEL and CHAOS, like night and day, Yin and Yang, Up and Down, left and right… Opposites, just like their personalities.

Angel is actually the CHAOTIC one and Chaos is the more ANGELIC one, which is kind of funny when we go to the park and you would hear us shouting, “Angel NO! Bad Angel!” and “Good boy Chaos.” Such an Oxymoron, right?

Angel is: funny, playful, noisy, stubborn, friendly, happy, carefree, cheerful… (but the most behaved crazy dog ever)

While Chaos is: grumpy, shy, quiet, crabby, sullen, jumpy, nervous, ratty… (but the sweetest grouch I have ever loved)

You could actually see in their photos how different they are…

My smiling Angel. Always a ready smile when she sees the camera

Mr. Grouch, like he'd bite your head off for taking his picture

Don't let that angelic face fool you. When she's off her leash, she turns deaf and won't hear you when you call her to come.

Always the protector dog on the guard. Can't even play when he's on duty

Don't get me wrong, Chaos does smile sometimes. Specially when we are outside. It's just hard to catch coz it disappears when he sees the camera.

these are my babies... the overgrown puppy and the pint sized guard dog.

I just love them… they complete me!
