It feels like it's been ages since I blogged!
But now that I am back into the blogging world, you can expect a couple of blog posts this weekend; its a long weekend with President's day being a Holiday. I love long weekends because that's the only time I actually feel completely refreshed for a hectic week ahead of me. Just one extra day can make such a big difference!
Our Sweety-pie has been teething for nearly two months but during the past three weeks we felt that he was in the peak of his teething phase. He constantly felt the urge to chew; nooooo...don't even think about it! Our Walley doesn't chew on the "bad" stuff like furniture, clothes, shoes, uh...um...no way! He's very well-behaved and thanks to crate training and the easy-trainability skill he possesses as a Golden Retriever, it's very easy to distract this chewing pup. We give him Kongs and Nylabones that he can chew on, all day long. That's the "good" stuff!! The Kongs are amazing because we can stuff little treats in them and Walley will just sit focussed on getting the treats out of them to make his tummy happy:-) The Nylabones are great too because they are made to smell like bacon so you can just think now why Walley could be so obsessed with them!
Two weeks ago, we saw Walley playing with something white, tiny and looked like a marble chip. When I took a closer look in his crate, I saw a little blood on his paw and the Nylabone Key Ring he was playing with (His favorite toy right now, by the way). The marble chip was our munchkin's canine tooth! His puppy teeth have begun falling off one by one and he's getting his adult teeth to replace them. We have noticed a couple of his teeth fall off over the past few days. I am sure he has lost some of his teeth during the day when we're gone to work. And I am even more sure that our munchkin plays with the fallen tooth and eats it ultimately:-) Gross! I haven't spotted a tooth hidden in his elimination so far though. Maybe he has not lost any teeth during the day.
Walley was always fond of eating ice but now the craving is even more. He's teething after all! I think the ice soothes his gums as he chews on it. He loves ice! He also loves Ice Cream. It's an occasional treat he has been getting since he began teething. We gave him some Vanilla ice cream the other day; because we were having Banana Split and he is not supposed to have that stuff. He nibbled and nibbled the ice cream until he finally licked the bowl clean. After he finished licking the bowl, he rolled his tongue out and in, over and over again to let us know how yummy he thought that Ice Cream treat was! He doesn't know that it was Ice Cream; he just knows that it was super-delicious:-)
With that sweet note, I am signing off to sleep now..I can barely keep my eyes open!
With that snow-storm we, New Yorkers got hit with since last night, the three of us have been staying bundled up and cozy at home. I just want to snooze now; it's so late already and I have to rise and shine early tomorrow..Sigh!
Stay warm New Yorkers!
