I think my little lap-warmer is ready for a nap.  All of the excitement from the bone must have worn her out.  😊  Heading to the couch, then.  Later, internet!

Looking a little more lively than yesterday. 🙂

ADOPTED May 2012 - Looking a little more lively than yesterday. 🙂

Well. I'd say she's pretty into that bone!

Well.  I'd say she's pretty into that bone!  😃  She's been running around here looking for something.  I think she was partially exploring, partially bored.  LOL  I'm glad she feels good enough to do more than just sleep.  IMPROVEMENT!  😃

Going to buy the dogs some bones.

Going to buy the dogs some bones.  I feel bad about not spending much time with mine the last couple of days and I think little puppy girl would be happier when she's in her crate if she had something to do while in there.  🙂  She really wants to be out exploring and stuff.  I'm trying to make her rest, though.

Puppy Update:

Puppy Update:  I slept (IF YOU CAN CALL IT THAT) on the couch recliner with her stuffed in my jacket all night.  We were up about every 2 hours.  Still going with the Pedialyte which was making her have to pee.  When she would wake up I'd give her another dose of Pedialyte then take her out and put her down.  She went to pee every time and even pooped a few times, also!  Hard, normal turds.  😃  Then, when she'd come in she would go to her bowl and eat some.  Then be ready to curl back up and go to sleep.

Late last night around 1 am she started not falling asleep right away - she was grooming herself first!  I haven't seen her chew or lick herself at all before then so I consider that more progress.  🙂

Also, this is just a cute little thing she did:  She was sleeping with the top of her head on my neck and she was dreaming.  Doing all the twitching around and all that.  Then I hear "chomp chomp chomp chomp chomp."  She was clicking her teeth together!  She woke up a few minutes later and just wanted to eat.  She must have been dreaming about it!  😃

Around 4 am a crazy-loud thunderstorm woke us up.  That scared the hell out of her.  🙁  She tried to run out of my lap, but I grabbed her and covered her with a blanket and talked to her.  She stayed awake for the whole thing, but wasn't panicking.  We both fell back asleep when it was over.

At 9:30 we got up again.  I haven't gotten back to sleep, though I am EXHAUSTED.  She wanted to stay up for a bit.  She walked around exploring and nibbling things.  Had to do her shots.  She didn't like that, but she took it.  Afterwards she climbed up in my lap and licked my nose.  That was also a first.  🙂  Then she fell asleep and I put her in her kennel.  She's not happy about that, but I have to shower and change so I can go and tend to my dogs.

Anyway... so far, so good!  🙂

As if any of you want to hear about dog turds. 😂

As if any of you want to hear about dog turds.  😂  If you don't - just skip this post.  We were cuddling on the couch, puppy sleeping in my jacket.  Any time she's roused up I've given her fluids.  Well, she finally started getting antsy so I took her outside and put her down.  She peed - a lot, and pooped - and it wasn't even runny!  😃

Now she's screaming for me from her kennel... I think someone's getting spoiled!

Shaun's here... now it's time for shots.  She probably won't like that.  🙁  But we'll hang out and she'll forgive me.  I hope!
