Call the paramedics!!!

Crystal, intrepid reporter, reporting live:

Mr. Dino is down, I repeat, Mr. Dino is down!!! All units report!!!

Jaida takes full advantage of the weakness in her nemesis..."quick, get him while he's down!!" (stuffing flying everywhere)

"Here, let me help, we'll tag-team him!!!"


"Victory is ours, bwah-ha-ha!!!!"

Update: Although the attack on Mr. Dino can only be described as opportunistic and malicious, he has survived the encounter. He thanks the hoomans for their quick response and, although his arm will never recover, he is thankful to be alive...

A face only a mother could love.

Heidi. Upright: cute. Squishy, but cute.


Upsidedown: not so cute.

BAY-BEE bendy Charlotte is growing up!

Jaida here.

We had to share more cuteness (we're all about cuteness around here). The BAY-BEE bendy is getting bigger! Look like she has some TUFF-ness as well as cuteness! Mom Crystal says that Charlotte has a new mom and dad who is waiting for her to come live with them when she's bigger...yay!

A Bendy BAY-BEE!

Jaida here.

I just wanted to share some pictures of BAY-BEE bendy cuteness...mom Crystal got an email from a nice lady whose momma dog just had puppies...and one little girl has a fabulously bendy foot! The BAY-BEE is strong and wriggly but not bunny-hopping yet on account of her teeniness and BAY-BEE-ness. Mom Crystal says it's important not to be sucky and wimpy with BAY-BEE bendyfoots, and that their moms (even if they're very nice) should not carry them around because bendies are very strong and capable and crafty and independent and do NOT need to be carried (how rude!!!)

Mom Crystal also thinks it's important to show pictures of other bendyfooted dogs, so that other moms and dads out there don't think they're all alone.

So here is the little bendy...she is kinda pink and not ready to open her eyes yet, but still has much cuteness.

Well I'll be dipped.

Huh. So word on the street is there's nothing particularly wrong with Jaida's hips.

The specialist said that she shows no sign of hip pain, her well-muscled legs and xrays don't show signs of hip displasia, and that Jaida's likely dealing with either back/leg muscle pain or else a problem with her spine.

We're probably going to be looking at some follow-up xrays or possibly an MRI of her back, and then if that turns up nothing, we'll be heading off to the physiotherapist to see if there's anything we can do.

So, the good news is, there's nothing wrong with her hips. The bad news is, there's nothing wrong with her hips so now we have to figure out what the real issue is.

Weird.

Snuggles and SPESH-AL-ISTS

Crystal here.

Jaida and Heidi are becoming fast friends...when Heidi's not beating Jaida up, she's usually snuggling with her...

Jaida is with mom Kim today with the SPESH-AL-IST, er, I mean specialist. Hopefully we'll have a clear picture of how we can help Jaida with her hips by the end of the day. Our poor girl deserves a break.

Cuteness!

Jaida here.

I think I have some pretty stiff competetion for queen of cute in this house. Hmmmm....I will have to work a little harder at my adorable-ness (this is a pretty easy job for a pup as fabulous as myself, however).
