Introducing Fraser - our sweet Fraser has crossed The Bridge

Frasier is such a hoot. A flirt And a tease! At least he makes them all drool equally, no favorites. You all must suffer!
Oscar is so cute in his socks!! Rockn' sockn' Oscar

Enjoy the weekend
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Ohhh Fraser is like my brother, if we got lollies when we were young I would gobble them down and he would put his away then torture me with them... mean boys!!

I was at a friends this arvo, she has a new puppy so cute. I took doggy treats and toys over. She gave Flynn this kong toy that was too big for her pup... I just put his biccies in there and he has been rolling it around the floor for about an hour now, feel a bit mean but it sure has kept him busy and using his brain haha

OH and I thought of you and Fraser while I was there, there is this cute little boy puppy a silky tzu... and they played like mad things and then Flynn started humping it!!! Gawd I was so embarrased. So I have decided Flynn is a homopeadophile!! Nasty boy!

Lol, for years I thought Fraser was gay. He was always interested in the boys, and has always liked men more than women. It's only in his dotage that he has started to chase the girls. Funny boy. (He still prefers men though)

Hey, I don't judge! Whatever makes him happy! LOL:D

Hi Naomi

How are the boys dealing with you back at work? Hope all going smoothly and they are doing good and you are not to bummed about having to go back to school! Did you have a trip coming up to Singapore again this year?

Love the socks pic!
xx

Well apart from me being tired, the boys are both doing well. I really thought they might miss me being gone during the day, but apparently they must have just slept for 2 days straight. They are both full of energy and have been playing together tonight, which is really rare. Apparently they haven't missed me a bit :o (Except for when they scream the house down when I get home anyway.)

We have some pretty strong storms coming through tonight and tomorrow, so I am hoping I get some sleep tonight. Fraser has decided that lightening is worse than thunder these days (mind you he has gone a little deaf in recent years so that may explain why) but even if there is no thunder or rain, and just lightening he has panic attacks - wants to sit on my head when I'm trying to sleep and drools and shakes like nothing on earth. If you add thunder and heavy rain to the mix, along with gale force winds, then he keeps it up for hours. Yay, good night ahead of me I think. :( Tommorrow he has been booked in for day care at Nanna's. Will drop them both off before work so she can have him for the day. Just as long as she gets to put up with some of the storm behaviour too :D

Trish - yes there is another Singapore trip coming up in July. I'm just praying that nothing goes wrong (or any more wrong) before then or during that week. Don't know what I'd do and I don't think cancelling is an option when 45 others (40 of which are kids) are involved too.

Meanwhile, photo shoot is coming up on saturday! Looking forward to that. Just hope boys will be bright and playful that day too. So cute when they smile :D

Ha, funny aren't they! I ask Mum if he misses me when I am gone, but nup! As long as they are fed, watered and have a cosy place to nap they are pretty happy in their golden years!!

Will Fraser go under the blankets so he can't see the lightning? Could stuff him under with a few snacks then he might not be able to see or hear, but hopefully still able to breathe :D:D I actually saw one of those thunder shirts in out pet store last weekend, quite a few have mentioned them on here. Flynn not bothered by storms, snores through them but might be worth a try with Fraser?

Hope everyone behaves on your trip away, I think I have a phobia about travelling now! Might have to become a hermit, which is a shame as I LOVE to travel. Maybe I can get away for a quick trip when everyone is diagnosed and behaving! My friends in Sydney that I missed out on seeing are demanding I reschedule asap! But not likely for a few months at least. At least I heard today the insurance company is refunding the extra I had to pay to get home to Mum from Melbourne, so that will be a little cash injection prior to Flynn's trip to the pet hospital in a couple of weeks.

Hope the storm is not too bad tonight and you all get some sleep to recharge the batteries xxx

Hi Naomi,:)
Thunderstorms terrify Buddy. He can make himself so anxious that he becomes physically ill. He freezes up and shakes. It is very sad. A friend of mine recommended the thunder shirt. She told me that it was very calming for the dog. Once a thunderstorm starts, and we don't get many here, I end up sitting with Buddy in on the bathroom floor with the fan running, somtimes for hours! He calms down once he can no longer hear the thunder or see any flashes of lightning. That bathroom does not have any outside windows. I bought a thunder shirt and tried it. It does help to calm Buddy down quite a bit, but there is a process. It needs to used before a thunderstorm occurs and linked to fun activity, like a trip to the park .If you only use it when you have a thunderstorm, then it doesn't work as well.

Hugs to you and the boys,

Hey guys!

Thanks for the infor re the thunder shirt. I looked at one of these last year for him, but he categorically will not wear anything over his body at all. Even a jacket or something to keep him warm in winter is chewed and wriggled out of, so it's actually more distressing for him and he doesn't like a blanket thrown over him either. he would rather snuggle and share body heat, which as lovely as that is, does give me a sore back at times (cause he likes to be in the crook of your back) The good thing is that he is a bit deaf these days, so if we do get thunder, I just turn the tv up louder, then he thinks it is the sub woofer on the tv. As for the lightening, last time we had some, I ended up leaving every light in the house on, then he could see it and panic ended. He's not the brightest bulb in the box sometimes, but he is loveable :)

The storms the other night didn't even bring thunder or lightening though so we got off really lightly. There as a few minutes of thunder last night but I fooled him through that patch and he settled pretty easy, just hope it stays easy through winter. That would be nice :)

Meanwhile oday he got it into his head that his foot was sore, has been liking it madly, limping and hoping on it at the park. He ran/fast hopped back to the car (some 200 metres away) and demanded to come home. Got him home, sprayed his foot with cortavance then he insisted that he couldn't get comfortable and proceeded to try no less than 15 different spots and positions to lie in within a 5 minute time frame. :rolleyes: He finally got comfortable (after I arranged him) and has since gone to sleep, completely forgetting about his foot. He is such a flower at times. :p I'll wake him up in a minute to go and have dinner, what's the bet there is no issue with his foot now? :rolleyes:

Koko does that foot thing too, what is up with that? A few times we took him to the ER and they could not find anything wrong and then he would come home and be fine.:rolleyes:

Sometimes, though, he does get a poke in his foot from a sharp pine tree needle and that will set him off crying and limping and carrying on.

Maybe Fraser got a jab from something outside that hurt his paw for a bit. That seems to be what is happening with Koko and he is not a brave boy about it but he is such a sweet, mild tempered pup, he does not handle hurts well.;)
