WOOF or TREAT!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Hope everyone had a fun and safe one. Zeke had a blast going to PetSmart today to trick-or-treat, while we picked up some snacks. Everyone loved Sadie's bumblebee costume... except Sadie, she pretty much hated wearing any part of it, particularly the antennae. Zeke took a walk through the neighborhood in his SuperZeke costume and lots of kids said hi to him and would yell out 'Hey there's Super Dog!'. One of the neighbors did their yard up so cool as a cemetery with lots of spooky decorations. And yesterday at work, Zeke's friends came dressed up as well; we had a French maid and Snow White.

So all in all a pretty good Halloween.

Its a bird, its a plane....

Since we are off tomorrow, Zeke came to work today in his costume as Super Zeke for some inter-office trick-or-treating!

service call in B-Town

Yesterday Zeke got to go on an out of town service call. He was welcomed into the home of a customer who needed work with their piano in Bluffton. On the way back home Zeke and mom shared some Jim and Nicks BBQ and swam in the Coosawatchie River. Zeke and Miss Nancy

sniffing and being sniffed.

Before heading into work this morning, Zeke stopped by Wannamaker dog park. We don't typically go to this dog park early on Saturday mornings, but if this is a typical Saturday AM we might come back more often. There was just the right amount of dogs for having fun, but no crazy ones and everybody seemed pretty chill. In the mix were a pack of beagles, a boxer and two really pretty pointers.

Getting sniffed.

rain delay

We went out to get some fall pictures at town sqaure today, but then the rain came. So we are postponed until later in the weekend.

Belated Pics from Dad's Birthday

It was a hot day, so Zeke got some refreshment from the cooler

Happy Rainy Birthday Mom!

Despite a very rainy soggy outlook, Zeke and mom strived to make the best of her birthday. Played some fetching games and shook it off!

Drool Bubbles

Zeke makes awesome drool bubbles when there is pizza laying about.

great day for duck dogs

Its raining a bunch this morning, but the upside to that is that usually means no one at the park. Zeke and mom took advantage this morning and got to play in the rain with the whole place to themselves.

takin it easy

Whirlin Waters Water Park DOG DAY!

For the first time EVER Whirlin' Waters Water Park opened for a dog day at the end of its reagular season. The count was over 600 dogs and it was a blast!

And check out this awesome video from the event on Lowcountry Dog Magazine's website

life lesson: don't run with sharp sticks in your mouth

...or you may spend your Friday at the vet getting splinters removed from your throat!

Zeke was running with a stick he found during his Friday morning playtime, when mom heard a YELP and turned to see the stick coming straight out of Zeke's open mouth, he managed to get it dislodged before mom could get over to him but there was about an inch worth of blood on the very sharp end of the stick. Mom of course goes into panic mode, but of course Zeke won't let mom look into his mouth but there isn't any blood pouring out, so we try to carry on.

By the time Z and mom make it to work he is not acting normal; he will not take treats and is shaking. Luckily Dr. Pernell, the vet who did Zeke's broken leg surgery, is just down the street from Zeke's office. Dr Pernell tells us to bring him in, and after examining Zeke and seeing the puncture in the back left side of his mouth, says we need to sedate him and check for any pieces of stick that may have become lodged.

Its certainly a good thing we did, because Dr P did indeed find a big chunk of splinter (which he kept for us to have a souvenir) and said that would have turned into an abscess. While he was checking things out he also found that the cut extended another three centimeters back into his throat, so he put two sutures in to keep from food and other things from becoming stuck.

Zeke was able to come home in the afternoon, very out of it from being sedated. He spent the rest of Friday evening sleeping it off on the couch. Lots of antibiotics and soft food for a week, but he seems to be doing much better one day later.

Zeke helps with ebay pictures

Zeke tries to help mom with taking ebay pictures, although he would probably increase the auction price, it doesn't make the listing very accurate.

Bark in the Park: Atlanta Braves vs Cincinnati Reds

Zeke had a blast at the Braves game, even tho they lost in extra innings. The folks at Turner Field had about 4 sections roped off and that was the only places dogs were allowed, but it was still fun, lots of different dogs there, all shapes and sizes. Zeke got a massage and met Victoria from "It's Me or the Dog", they were doing casting calls. Sadie and Zeke got a hotdog and some doggie ice cream. It was hot but plenty of water bowls and ice were available.

watch for us!

Zeke is going to see the Braves play Sunday against the Cincinati Reds. Its Bark in the Park day and the game is going to be on Fox Sports South, so if you get it watch out for Zeke and let us know if we get on TV! We should have lots of pictures from the game!
