Puppy Dogs

Duncan celebrated his second Geurkinkaversary a few weeks ago. We are so happy to this fun loving puppy dog in our life. He is a ball of energy, but is starting to realize lounging around isn't all that bad.

We love you, Duncan doodle.

This year, his Geurkinkaversary was shared with a sad event. Jobee, my first dog and my mom's best friend, passed away at the age of 12. Jobee was the funniest, smartest, bossiest poodle ever. For the past 12 years, we have always asked each other why Jobee is so nutty - my dad blames the May 3rd tornados since Jobee's mom was pregnant with him when the tornados hit down the street from Jobee's house. It really seems like last year, we drove and picked Jobee out - actually, he picked me. For 12 years, Jobee gaurded the cul-de-sac, barked at any and every noise, performed his signature cool down dance, begged for cookies (and would eventually gripe my mom out for not giving him one in a timely manner), and snuggled with whoever he could. We have so many great memories of Jobee and we will cherish them forever. 12 years is a long time to have a best friend, we will miss you Jobelan.

While we miss Jobee dearly, Rusty is now an only child and gets to be in charge now. Jobee and Rusty are quite the opposite. Rusty is much more laid back than Jobee... it will be interesting to see Rusty handles his new responsibilites.

We miss you Jobee. Thanks for 12 years of poodle fun.

Rusty, the poodle, and his surgery

My sweet little Rusty (my parent's 10 year old poodle and Duncan's cousin) had eye surgery this week. He was diagnosed with diabetes earlier this year and with that he got two big cataracts in his eyes, causing him to be just about blind. He would bump into walls, chairs, people....even fell into the pool a few times. Poor puppy. After much thinking, my parents opted for surgery and I think we are all happy, including Rusty!

This was right after his surgery. He and my mom stopped by my house (since the vet is up in OKC). He saw me come out of my front door! It's just amazing he can see again!

The vet shaved around his eyes. My moms likes to think he has been wearing a batman mask.

Here you can see his clear, clear eyes!

He is back to playing with his toy balls - he likes to hoard and keep two around him at all times.

I'm going to make the assumption that big brother Jobee (who is the 11 year old poodle) is quite jealous of Rusty's clear eyes. Jobee has cataracts, but not as bad as Rustys - Jobee still harasses everyone!

(If you didn't know, I love poodles. I think they are awesome.)
