What a beautiful weekend it was weather wise. We went outside and planted a few plants with Macayla and Jacob. But Jennifer brought home a special guest on Thursday night. A dachshund/pincher mix. He was quite whiny and scared of his own shadow. We have had dogs in the past and we are used to bigger dogs who tend to be alphas. This dog was not an alpha, more like an omega. He was very attentive to Macayla and loved Jennifer. He did not like Jacob and I. He would cower every time we even looked at him. He followed Jennifer everywhere and when she was not here, he whimpered and whined. 
Unfortunately for the little dog, he was used to being around constant companionship with other dogs. He did not like being away from the pack. So, he went home on Saturday.
Macayla had a pretty good day and enjoyed the sun, however I let her legs get a little sunburn as the shade of the tree she was under shifted. She laughed a good bit that afternoon at Jacob. But Sunday, she was very agitated and having multiple seizures (small ones) that lasted up to a minute or more at times. So, she got diastat while we were at church. She relaxed some, but never fell asleep from the medication. She seems better this morning, but still not 100%. She fell asleep around 4:30 yesterday afternoon and slept till 4:30 or 5:00 this morning. But after she fell asleep, we found her like this:
What started as a beautiful weekend outside, ended as a beautiful weekend inside.
The reason the dog took to Macayla was because she is special!! The min pin breed is very protective - especially of the sick. Remember Toby!! That dog will protect you forever if you aren't feeling well! I am glad that everyone is enjoying the sun.
ReplyDeleteHe was always attentive when we gave Macayla medication or food. He would just sit and watch her at times. It was very interesting.
