Busy Friday for Gramercy, D'light & Syzygy

D'light, Gramercy and I head up to Blaine yesterday to meet two wonderful ladies!  Both boys travel well and once we reached our destination, Gramercy had an awesome two hours of showing off his hilarious and very cute self. 

 

D'light was worried he wasn't going - this is Gramercy's crate!

I was getting myself organized in the car and you can see Gramercy thinking "Lets get this show on the road!" He was zipped up and we were off.

 



After the visit Gramercy was exhausted!  He was out like a light 100 feet out of the driveway.  Gramercy will tell you that it's pretty tiring being so cute and having sooo much fun.

He slept the full 2.5 hour ride home!

 We got home and I unzipped his crate and let him know it was time to wake up.

Gramercy smiling because he had such a great time!
 

We got into the house and Gramercy needed a little hedgie time.  The ladies we met also had a hedgie for Gramercy and he thought it was pretty awesome.  He showed off his amazing toy skills and they were no doubt impressed!

 

 

All tuckered out from his road trip!

D'light needed a nap - riding in the car is exhausting!

 

Were you wondering why Syzygy didn't get to partake in the road trip?!  Well funny puppy boy got to go with his foster dad to work.  Syzygy had a ton of fun meeting new people and as you see he worked hard.

Pink bunny is the current toy of choice!

Gramercy says: "Pink bunny you're my favorite today"

Gramercy LOVES to play with toys and you can see he thinks Syzygy should feel the same way!  Syzygy was just waiting... and I love watching Gramercy's reaction.

 

Poor Syzygy still wearing the donut when we can't watch him 100% of the time.  As you can see he can play even while wearing it.  Gramercy was just excited that Syzygy finally wanted to play with pink bunny!

Syzygy meets the Tornado

Time to blow this sweet puppy's mind!  I introduced him the the Tornado by Nina Ottosson and he did great. Below is his first try at this interactive feeder.  I like using this as a beginner feeder because, it's easy for the dog to spin and the cups that hold the food are big.   It does come with stoppers that make it more challenging but, we are not there yet.

 

"What is this thing?"

 

"Hey I found some food"



"Holy smokes look there's more food!"



"This is fun!"

This is a great video - you can see he's a bit nervous at first then he really gets into the game of finding the food.  He's a super smart boy!
 



"Does food coming out of this thing you keep pointing at me?!?"

Play, play, play!! Part 2 of 2

The next session of play was a ton of fun!  Bring on the game of bitey face... 

 

 

Below are lots of action shots.  They are all hilarious so, of course they must be posted!

 



 



 

 

 

Gramercy says: "Foster mom why did you stop the fun?!"

Play, play, play!! Part 1 of 2

Amazing what fixing some nerves can do for someone... just ask Gramercy!  When he arrived to our home back in late December he came up with our other foster dog, Reynvaan.  They did a lot of playing together. However, I noticed that Gramercy would never roll on his back, and he just looked tense.  I chalked this up to just not having much play experience. 

 

I'm now thinking it was a pain issue.  Again I continue to be shocked by how much Gramercy did while being in so much pain. He's a tough little dude!

 

Below you can see how great both boys are feeling and yet again foster mom is a stick in the mud by managing the amount of play. 

warming up for play time

I love the below video! Here's two throw away rattie boys who have a new lease on life thanks to New Ratittude.  The only thing they now have to worry about is finding wonderful homes.  And I think our team pretty much has that covered!  So, Gramercy and Syzygy have no worries!

 



Fun loving boys

Gramercy & Syzygy having fun in the sun!

It was sunny in Seattle this morning so, that brought on sunbathing and play time!  Both boys wanted to keep playing.  But, given Gramercy's spine is still healing and Syzygy was recently neutered, the play time was pretty short lived.  Both boys though foster mom was no fun.

 Let's play!

 

 

Both boys like to play!



Stay tuned for tomorrow's post to see how well these boy's play together

 

 

Guess were Syzygy was on Monday...

At  the vet getting neutered, tested for heart worms, microchiped and his nails trimmed! Big day for sweet puppy boy.  Everything went well and Syzygy was pretty happy to leave the vet.  Once we got home, Syzygy wanted to lick his incision so that meant wearing the "no licking" gear.  

 

He's still adorable even in the donut!

Here he is in the kitchen after eating his breakfast and taking a pain pill.

 

You can see the pain medication starting to work.  After some chewing on his bone he was out like a light!

 

Sweet little boy - all of this will soon be a distant memory.

"Where did they go?"

A bone makes everything better!
