So basically my dogs have been crazy. Abby still waiting for her allergy results, Roxie barking at non existant things. Abby had to get a bath and she had scabs all over her body. She had been scratching and biting at her fur so badly that she had all those sores.
I am also very happy to say that we are getting another member of the family. We are going down to West Plains Missouri on Sunday to get a new puppy. Six hours there and six hours back that we have to drive. It is a beautiful red merle australian shepherd with bright blue eyes. They named her Cinderella, and I'm going to name her Melody Lynn. Eventually we will breed her, even though I was really against the whole idea thinking about all those shelter dogs and all. The thing is, if I bred her it would be good for the breed. A lot of people show dogs in the shows and stuff, and that would be a great reason. Sometimes it seems irresponsible to breed dogs, like I said because of shelter dogs, but a lot of people search for these dogs, even before they are even born.
I'm really hoping that my other dogs will like her. That is the bad thing. Because of the long drive over there, and my dogs having anxiety problems, I cant take them with us to introduce the dogs. The breeder is really nice, and there is another person from Illinois that is getting one of thier dogs too so we are going to bring it back with us and take it to them. Apparently it is a girlfriend for their other Aussie. Apparently they trust us enough to bring their dog to them, which we are trustable. I just keep thinking about the long drive we are going to have to take considering no other dog of this color is available anywhere really. The next closest dog of the same color ect is in Texas, and that is even further away.
On Saturday we are going to have to get supplies for the puppy. Get all prepared before we bring her home. Dog clothes, stuff for her to play with ect. It is so exciting knowing I will be picking up my puppy in two days.
Abby and Roxie knew yesterday that I was sick, and tried their best to make me feel better. Going home after lunch made me upset, but I knew I couldnt stay. The puggles can sense whenever I am feeling sick, sad, and happy. They respond differently too to the different moods.
Anyways, it is very exciting this weekend for the new puppy. Hopefully everything will run smoothly so that we can get a happy ending. This is my first pure bred dog, and it makes me happy knowing she will be mine. I will train her to be polite, and hopefully I will get to take her places. Until then I hope today goes smooth too.

Dogs Again
Abby and Roxie have really been pains in the butts lately. They never shut up, and when it is six in the morning they are up. Then when they get up they have to bother me and bark and everything else to make sure that I dont go back to sleep. Trust me, it isnt fun.
So Abby yet again doesnt have her allergy testing back. They said it was suppose to only take ten days for it, yeah right. More like a kazillion years. She is getting really annoying because she always wants us to itch her tail and the red parts of her, and she wont let us do anything else at that time. For example, my mom was sitting on the couch typing something and Abby got up there and started swatting at her. She told Abby to get down, and Abby decided to smack her laptop. My mom had to pick her up and put her on the floor because she wouldnt move. I understand Abby's pain but she shouldnt be a pain in the butt to us.
Roxie is pretty much most of the time a really good dog. She barks a lot even when there is nothing to bark about, but she isnt as annoying as Abby. Roxie just likes a cuddle here or there and then she is pretty much satisfied. The only really annoying part of Roxie is her constant licking. She likes to lick her paws a lot, and you can hear her. She also likes to lick the couch, and sometimes I wont realize there is a lick spot on there, and I sit on it. It is one of the worst feelings in the world. Expecially the hearing her lick part, because it gets so old.
The other day my mom and I were picking up my boyfriend from his house. Well as soon as everyone walked in the door, Abby went to him first. She just wishes she could have him. I dont blame her either because he is pretty amazing. I think dogs know who the really wonderful people are.
Abby was kind of funny last night. Every time we eat as a family, I want the dogs out of the room, and when Im done they can come in. Well Abby decides to jump on my moms lap and bug her for food. Mom was about to eat a french fry, and Abby took it. Also, like a week ago I had a poptart. Well I wanted to tease Abby with it so I waved it in front of her face, and she smacked it out of my hand. Guess I cant tease her anymore.
Dogs are pretty smart, yet annoying. Ours are extremly disobedient, and like to do things their own way. The only real time they will actually do everything we say is when they are truely sick. Otherwise they still dont really listen to us. Maybe we should take them back to puppy school..

My dogs are pests
Do you know the feeling if like one of your brothers or sisters starts bugging you when you are trying to do your homework? Well my dogs like to do that all the time to me. Every time I have a book open, Abby likes to try to swat it out of my hands. It irritates me a lot, because she knows better than that. When I work on projects, Abby and Roxie are right beside me. Abby sometimes tries to step in my glitter glue, and she likes to make me yell at her. She knows that when I do projects she is to stay completly away from me. Abby literally chewed up part of my homework before as well as ripped my paper from stepping on it. She is one of those dogs that apparently doesnt learn when to stay away from a certain situation. I mean she hears me telling her no, but maybe she only hears what she wants to. I still love her as much as any dog owner loves thier dog, but she has as serious problem with homework.
So my dog still hasnt gotten her allergy test back. Weeks have went by, and yet we still havent gotten word of it. I still feel bad for Abby because her skin continues to get even redder than before. We are hoping she wont get another staph infection. She has to keep taking medicines to try to help her calm down. If I were in her state, I would probably start chewing my legs off, and I am really surprised she hasnt yet. She takes her anger out on everything that is in her path, including my mom, my dad, Roxie, and the outside dogs. She has been really ticking off our outside dogs, and she has been trying to chew on Roxie. When we itch Abby by her tail she starts to gnaw on Roxies ear, or our fingers. Even in the morning she will be really itchy and she will start randomly barking. It makes me sad seeing her like that, but all we can do is still wait on her results.
Roxie likes carrying her toys like a baby. She has become real attatched to her stuffed football. Abby ended up taking it outside to make her upset, and I had to bring it back in. I feel like a slave for the dogs because they cant do alot of things by themselves. You have to feed them because they dont have thumbs, and you have to carry stuff for them too. Why cant dogs get thumbs so they can do almost everything on their own? A question that no one may ever be able to answer. Maybe someday they will have actual futuristic robots to do everything for our dogs. Like robots to walk and feed your dog, and others to clean up after it. Wouldn't that be nice? I would like to have that now so I wont have to constantly tend to the dogs. Well it feels like its constant. Anyways, it is time for my dogs to go to sleep.

Dogs
My dog has still been really itchy. The allergy testing thing, which we should get the results back soon, has made it even more stressful. They keep giving Abby shots, which apparently if they gave her one more would shut down her liver, and other organs. Basically, it would kill her. Yesterday was fun though. My mom, my boyfriend, and I went to Terre Haute. We went to Petland, and my mom got really excited. They had Bears jerseys, and accessories. They had crappy Colts stuff too. So anyways, mom figured we should get Abby and Roxie jerseys and some collars. So we did and they look so adorable! I'm not much of a football fan myself, but I would rather like the Bears than get kicked out of my house! Abby used to have a Cubs collar, but it was getting dirty.
Abby and Roxie never stop surprising me though. Every time my amazing boyfriend comes over we tell our puppies. They get really excited and start whining, and barking wanting him to come over. Abby likes to jump on him a lot. My mom jokes that he's Abby's boyfriend. As excited as they both get though, maybe in thier minds they think that he is actually theirs.
Roxie has been getting really bad about trying to nab food off the table. My dad left his plate on our small table, which is close to the ground, in the same room where our puggles were. Of course my chunkier dog, Roxie had to go over to where his plate was, and lick my dad's sandwich. I mean it may be kind of funny, and Roxie may have been cute, but she has turned into a little devil dog like Abby. She never used to do anything really bad, unlike Abby who has found a new hobby, digging through our trash bags. We leave the room for a minute, and Abby's sitting there with a tissue in her mouth. I dont know if maybe the weather change has made them become insane or what. Of course dog school wont teach them anything. Mom thinks if Roxie was there by herself away from Abby, that she would do pretty good in dog school. I think that if she was in dog school, the old habits would come back at home. It's just a waste of money. I try to train the dogs, but everyone has to be involved, otherwise they will continue with the bad habits. Just like not feeding your dog table scraps so they dont beg for food every time you eat. My dogs do that because someone normally gives them something whenever they eat. Abby likes to fake sneeze, but actually getting her saliva on your food, so that you will have to give it to her. I mean who likes a dog sneezed sandwich? Roxie will try to claw off your leg just so you will just give her a nibble of food.
O well dogs shall be dogs.
