The Mighty Zeus

I apologize up front for the images you are about to see....

We went Up North last weekend to stay at the huntin' shack on my in-laws property. Mighty Zeus spent the weekend running through the woods, up and down the river banks collecting sticks, grass, leaves and what ever else his velcro fur would pick up. His poor fur was matted beyond belief.

He went from this...

To this...

What you can't see in this picture is him shivering from being so cold!
The poor dog has been hiding out in his little den for the past few days. I know he is feeling a little...naked after his haircut. I know I'm not helping matters much, I pretty much giggle every time I look at him. Thankfully his hair will grow back. Hopefully he won't be emotionally scarred for life. You should have seen all the fun he had running around in the woods!

Gone Fishin'

It seems that I am not the only one hit by the Spring Fever Bug. Last night Steven decided to go fishin'. The only problem was there was no water...no lake, no river, no stream, creek or pond. He was in the kitchen. Funny thing was, he latched on to something pretty big. I'm tellin' ya, it had his pole bent right over. He struggled to keep the thing on the line. He fought for what seemed like hours...
You ask, what could one possibly expect to catch when fishin' in the kitchen?

Why a Catfish of Course!
Yeah, the little thing put up quite a fight.

P.S. No small animals were harmed in this fishing event...

Under the Watchful Eye of Zeus

For those not familiar with Boogie, she is always on the go. She is the mover and the shaker. But when she crashes, she crashes hard, thus the name Boogie. Poor Boogs caught another cold last week about the time we returned from our little jaunt to Cadillac. The last couple of days she has been running a mild fever, which we've pretty much just let run its course. Today she woke up with a fever of 103 that only went down to about 101 with the aid of Tylenol. I took her to the doctor today fully expecting to hear that she had a sinus infection or something. Much to my amazement, she had an ear infection with perforation. I have to admit I was shocked. She never once complained about her ears hurting. Hopefully now she will be getting back to her movin' shakin' little self soon.

First indication that something was wrong...she fell asleep infront of the tv last night

(that very seldom happens)

This was her sleeping today after her appointment. Notice her body guard situated at her feet? He has barely left her side most of the day today...not even to chase the cat.


Zeus...the little dog with the BIG heart...the caretaker of the sick.
