Hello blog readers! Not much different is going on lately, pretty much the same goodness. Rex is acting a little strange, though. The past few months he seems like he has become a different dog. He is still fun and playful, but at times it seems he is a little sad. He has started being very anxious and scared of situations he has been able to handle with no difficulty in the past. For example, when the smoke alarm goes off (this happens often...cooking sausage makes a lot of smoke and we love to cook big breakfasts together) he starts shaking uncontrollably and tries to hide behind someone. He will never leave the room to go somewhere where the alarm isn't so loud, he stays and sits and shakes. Once the alarm stops it takes him a while to calm down. It really is sad to see. He gets so scared. He also has begun to lick himself like a crazy licking machine dog. I hate this!! I hate the sound and I think it's so gross. I know dogs, especially males, will lick themselves no matter what. But this is constant and I am close to yelling at him for it so I know things need to change.
I called his vet yesterday and explained all that's going on (there is much more to this little guy that needs to be figured out). I listed things for about a minutes, when the guy I was talking to, Bo, finally said 'OK...I'm going to write down 'skin problems and emotional issues'. I am so sad!! I hope everything is alright with him, but he really is a different dog than he was three months ago. He seems sad and nervous and anxious so much of the time. So we will see what the verdict is tomorrow! He has gone through a lot of changes. He went from being an only child to having two puppy siblings and three human siblings. Not to mention that the last time we took him to the groomer she removed the mohawk that was down his entire back. He looked like the most bad-ass puppy ever. I'm sure that is a lot to take and I feel bad that he is not completely happy. Of course, I cannot say that for certain, since he can't talk to me. But I feel it. Sadness!
Alright enough about that. I know it's not super interesting to read about my dog troubles!
This weekend we're going to Kaylee's cheer competition in Bryant and then I'm headed to Jonesboro to see Melissa and her family. We're going to go to Kayla's (Bryan's girlfriend) play so that should be fun. After the cheer competition Jimmy and Kaylee are going hunting, so I will have some alone time once I get back from Jonesboro. I don't like that! I can handle being alone, and I love that time to myself. But I always want to spend all my time with Jimmy. He is the light of my life and it's hard to be without him even for a day. I will never be OK with that! I always want to just take him everywhere I go.
