Caught!

A raccoon discovered the doggie door and raided the kitchen before Sherbert ran it off. Hero dog!

But, the raccoon was not the only nocturnal raider. The night vision camera caught someone in the act. Marking her territory as a warning to nighttime visitors?  Or just a rotten spoiled brat? Or is she still getting used to having the doggie door closed overnight?  You decide.

How Not to Kiss Your Dog

How do you catch a squirrel?

The squirrels have been out in force this spring, driving Sherbert crazy. She decided to run up the tree to catch them.  Unfortunately, once she got up there she wasn't sure how to get down.

Sherbert:  Help, I'm stuck five feet up in a tree and can't get down!
Me: Hang on, just let me get the camera.

A small request

Sherbert has learned that the Tesla Model 3 will never come as a convertible. (who cares if we get crushed in an accident; we want our convertible!!!)

Super Bowl

Sherbert was a sad dog this Super Bowl Sunday.  Next year I will listen to her!

Sherbert explains

Goodbye, Miss Mini

It is with great sadness that I tell you that Miss Mini has died.  She had been fighting liver problems and her arthritis was causing a lot of pain.  Then she stopped eating.  She had developed pancreatitis, a painful inflammation of the pancreas that also causes vomiting.  It is treatable in many cases, but Mini was so sick and weak and fighting pain so the vet and I agreed that her quality of life would be very poor.  It was a very difficult decision to let her go.

On the way home from the vet after Mini was euthanized in my arms, I stopped to fill my tire with air.  Next to the compressor was a penny.  From the year Mini was born. A penny from dog heaven?  Mini telling me I'd done the right thing? Maybe.  I hope so.

Here are a couple of extra pictures of Mini.  Doesn't she look cute?  She was going blind as well. This fall she wandered into a leaf pile and wasn't sure which way she should go.

 She was getting thin in December when we were treating her liver problems.  She needed her christmas jammies to keep warm.

Happy Holidays from the Rat Dog Pack
