Fez is found!

We’ve found Fez!!

Someone called just after 6 this morning saying they spotted him down the road. He took off and was heading towards the bus tunnel (yikes) she said, but luckily didn’t go through it. The hubby picked him up after about 40 minutes of searching. He was pretty scared. In fact he was backing away when the hubby tried to approach him. But at least he’s unhurt. He’s back to normal puppy mode now and having a snooze after gorging on some dog food.

We have closed the basement door so he can’t get through that gap again. It’s usually closed but we had overlooked that yesterday. It’s hard owning a small dog because you underestimate the gaps they can fit through. I’ve put his collar back on with his name and our number written in permanent ink just in case.

Whew! He doesn’t know how much we have worried about him but he’s very happy to be home.

Now I can go back to worrying about when this baby is going to come!

Our Fez is lost

He escaped today by going under the house and through a gap.

He is microchipped and registered, but my baby brain forgot to put his collar on when I went out today. I hope he’s not hurt, and if someone has picked him up I hope they take him to the pound or the SPCA.

If anyone has seen this little pup wandering around Wellington eastern suburbs, please let us know!

He needs his parents! :(

A Puppy Can Dream

A friend of mine posted a comment on Facebook asking “What do tigers dream of when they take their little tiger snooze?” (It’s a quote from the movie The Hangover, which I haven’t seen yet.)

I don’t know about tigers but I bet my puppy dreams of jumping on the bed, chewing everything in sight and doing wees and poos wherever he likes, without being told off. His paws often twitch so he must dream of rampaging around. I think I would too if I was a puppy.

But woe is he because he is our puppy and we like to keep him disciplined. Dogs must think that all humans are bipolar. “Good boy” one minute, then “NO! Naughty boy!” the next. If it weren’t for being mean we’d have more than a couple chewed cables and the occasional accident on the floor.

Fez is a kiwi dog – he chewed the face off his kangaroo, and getting hard into his koala bear. It’s not our fault the giant $2 bag of toys from the Sallies has all these Aussie toys in them!

Being a mummy must be hard

Had my first taste of motherhood last night – even if it was with my puppy Fez.

This little sad pup wanted to be comforted so we had him sleep with us on our bed – what a treat for him!

He didn’t want to be at the foot and insisted snuggling up next to me, breathing his puppy breath on my neck. I let him stay there until he fell asleep and then pushed him further down so I could get some sleep too.

It was heart wrenching seeing him in pain and not being able to do anything about it but comfort him.

I also had to get up twice to take him outside to go toilet. His satellite dish doesn’t fit through the doggy door and the knowledge of having to take him out kept me awake.

I was *very* tired this morning, so lucky for me that I had the day off.

Here’s to all the mothers out there who have done such a good job raising us.
