Taking Care of Annie: Morning 1

This morning has gone pretty well. Girls were up and ready to go outside right away of course. Annie actually stayed out for about 10 minutes before barking to come in. In that 10 minutes I was able to assemble to goods: 1 small bowl milk for each dog, mocca's vitamin & joint care, annie's vitamin, biscuit for each dog, fill water bowls, get food ready.

When they come in they expect their milk, vitamin, biscuit. I set 1 down & tell whoever it is for...then the next. Mocca finishes first of course, Annie really licks that milk bowl dry. Give Mocca her food, give Annie her food. Annie didnt eat all hers, though I had given her extra, just in case. So Mocca swooped in & ate that before somebody took it away! Must remember less food for Mocca while Annie is here.

Annie had some trouble getting up on the couch, this is so difficult to watch! I helped her once, then she of course got down right after! She got up again, but I didnt help her....it just took her a few tries to get the top half up enough that the bottom followed. Poor Annie. It is a low couch, too. Dad always has to hoist her into the car/truck nowadays. She expects that now and doesnt even try to get in w/o help I guess!

Currently she is napping on the couch, and I expect, is there for the rest of the morning, though she may go out when Mocca does the 2nd time.
