[Dailydrool] Snoopy checking in

[Dale Rutz]

Hi all, it's Snoopy here,

Wow, it's been a busy week at our house.  LuLu went to the vet and got the all 
clear ... no more meds and she was allowed to take a bath.  Thank goodness 
because she smelled like a scary, scary place I don't even want to discuss. 
 momPerson wiped her with baby wipes and brushed and brushed her but she still 
smelled like THAT place until Wednesday.  Now LuLu is fluffy.  As soon as the 
smell went away I decided to snuggle LuLu.  LuLu has decided to join us on the 
furniture.  We lay on couches together.  This morning we were both in the bed 
.... and I lay my head on her .... but she woofed to I took my muzzle off and 
lay next to her.  She's heard I have a girlfriend .... and she says it was a bit 
forward.  Hey, I cuddle with Cyrus all the time, I mean .... I'm not going to 
kiss my foster sister .... oh ... wait ... I already HAVE kissed my foster 
sister ... never mind.

So, LuLu is better .. but either I want to play and I am dancing and prancing 
and play bowing and she is giving me her disapproving look .... or else she 
wants to play and she is dancing and prancing and play bowing .... and I just 
walk away.  So far it hasn't happened that we BOTH want to play at the same 
time.  Which suits momPerson just fine because LuLu was spayed 10 days ago now 
and the longer we wait to play like ruffians the better.

LuLu is still VERY skinny but her vertibrae no longer show through the top of 
her and at the end of the ribs she tapers now instead of the skin folding under 
that last rib.  MUCH better.  The feet are a problem.  The nails were several 
inches long and had forced the feet wide and flat.  They clipped as much as they 
could at the shelter but in that condition the quicks are VERY long too and they 
couldn't get them short enough.  So, momPerson took her on short leash walks 
every day .... then on Wednesday the vet took her time and worked on her some 
more .... and now LuLu can walk normally!!!!  HURRAY!!!  Her feet don't look 
deformed anymore.  The back ones are fine and the front ones just have her pinky 
toes sticking out.  The vet says it will continue to improve.  Have to walk her 
every day on the sidewalk.

Cyrus is tired.  It is hard work making sure everyone minds their manners.  I am 
still a bit ... um ... shall we say rude ... yes ... I think that's a good 
description, around people food.  So, Cyrus keeps LuLu AWAY from me if there is 
people food.  Mostly.  Yesterday Julianne was eating a sandwhich in the reading 
chair (which she is NOT supposed to do) and I tooked over and she was in the 
chair eating and LuLu was STANDING on the ottoman inquiring about a bit of the 
sandwich.  She learns fast.

Speaking of which .... the other day I was Curating half a loaf of Missing 
Garlic Bread and LuLu came outside to assist me with my work ... Cyrus didn't 
interfere and dadPerson didn't notice and momPerson was at work.  The only way 
they found out LuLu helped was when momPerson came home she wanted to know why 
LuLu was giving garlic kisses .... it's because I shared.  I know, I know, don't 
start on the garlic ...momPerson only uses a little bit in garlic bread AND it 
was cooked ... we got a little gassy and thats it.

more later from Snoopy, oebe, curator of missing objects.
