Meet Gyspy

noreply@blogger.com (Life with 5 dogs) — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 12:01:00 +0000

I have been working very hard to bring this poor girl to Safety.

We have named her gyspy, she has been living on the street in Southern NH since March 10, 2010.

She was adopted to a family and slipped her collar within 30 minutes. They Looked for her for one month and then just left her behind to fend for herself.

She has been without human contact for one year but clearly is very interested in the camera. For the last week we have been sitting out there for countless hrs while still working our full time jobs trying to bring her to safety.

She is so scared that when she is out and about her tail is completly tucked under her belly. It breaks my heart every time I go out their and we leave without her. As you can see my the times on the trail camera she only comes out at night.

We will try again this evening. We almost had her the other night but she decided to take the food to go bowl and all.

Hopefully in the morning I will have some good news!

Is it Spring yet?

noreply@blogger.com (Life with 5 dogs) — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 02:50:00 +0000

Is it Spring Yet? This has to be the longest winter ever!

The Backyard is still covered under at least 3 feet of hard packed ice and snow.

I am Pretty sure the dogs are done with Winter. I know we are done with the crazy heating bill that we have had this year!

Mr. Squirrel would Love Spring to come! He actually has been looking in the kitchen window wondering if he can come in out of the cold. I don't think he would last very long in the house, pretty sure he would be a in big trouble.

Sweet Lily is a fighter and is doing really well with her new meds, she is also waiting to feel the warm spring sun on her body!

Got Nuts?

noreply@blogger.com (Life with 5 dogs) — Sat, 26 Feb 2011 00:46:00 +0000

Hello, It is cold outside! I was wondering if you had a couple extra nuts to share on this not so

nice winter day!

What did you say?

Sorry I didn't hear you, I am relaxing in front of the Fire place.

Lily is doing well with her new medicine, and we are enjoying every minute with have with her.

She is need of a hair-do but I don't want to stress the poor girl out.

Winter is Back

noreply@blogger.com (Life with 5 dogs) — Sun, 20 Feb 2011 20:57:00 +0000

What a tease! We had Spring for Two days and now it is back to this never ending winter! The winds are whipping around outside here in NH today and Mom is making us stay inside.

On Friday, it was nice to see the Deck again. Little Lily and Bailey Loved Resting in the Sun for a little while. Lily is still hanging in their and is getting all the Love she deserves.

Geisha is still smiling no matter the weather, She is one happy dog!

Pretty Girl Wrinkles

noreply@blogger.com (Life with 5 dogs) — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 02:43:00 +0000

Ok, Snow is Great, but we are Done with Winter her in NH!

Wrinkles Say's Bring on Spring!

The Power of the Paw

noreply@blogger.com (Life with 5 dogs) — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 22:27:00 +0000

Thank You Everyone for all of your sweet Comments,

and for keeping us in your prayers!

Lily went to the Doctor's this Morning and had a Another Chest X-Ray her Medicines are working with getting rid of Fluid build up in her lungs which is caused by her congestive heart Failure.

She Stood at the door of the exam room the entire time. Like she was telling me that she was going home no matter what! We are waiting results of today's blood work, to make sure that her kidney's are still working the best they can, because last year she was diagnosed with Kidney Disease. Please Keep Praying for us!

While we are taking care of Lily, Poor Mr. Grover waits Patiently for Someone to throw him the ball!

My Sweet Lily Girl

noreply@blogger.com (Life with 5 dogs) — Sun, 06 Feb 2011 02:58:00 +0000

We are Feeling Very Sad at The Life with 5 Dogs House!

Sweet Lily Girl Was Rushed to the Doctor's Office on Thursday and was Admitted into intensive care

Lily Girl has been with us for almost Thirteen Years. She is in Moderate Congestive Heart Failure, and also has Kidney Failure. Her Days left with us are very numbered and we are Totally Heartbroken. As I write this blog post I am Crying, it is so hard to think that she doesn't have much longer. The doctor told us yesterday that she isn't ready to give up Fighting.

We will do everything to make sure she is comfortable but we also don't want her to suffer!

Lily, We Love you!

Manchester NH Celebrates GroundDog Day

noreply@blogger.com (Life with 5 dogs) — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 01:58:00 +0000

Here in NH We decided to celebrate GROUNDDOG DAY!

Here in NH We use Two of Manchester NH Finest GroundDogs

to make the prediction of a Early Spring!

First it was Manchesters Famous Ground Dog Wrinkles!

Second was Manchester's NH Famous Ground dog Grover!

As Manchester's NH Famous Ground Dogs emerged from the hole!

They Predicated a Early Spring!

Ground Dog Grover Says Bring on the Mud!

We are Hoping that Kalo who has been Missing since Jan 18 from Strafford NH Found a Nice Warm Barn to Keep Warm in during today's storm. Last Sighting was on Sunday Jan 30,2011 on Rt 202A heading towards Rochester. He was Limping so he is in Need of Medical Attention at this point. I spent 6 hrs Monday Night looking for him but turned up with nothing! If You are in New Hampshire or Maine Please Cross Post his Picture, Thank You.

Really?

noreply@blogger.com (Life with 5 dogs) — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 00:12:00 +0000

Can You Believe that we are getting more Snow? Maybe 2 feet on Wednesday!

Geisha is Waiting for it to start Falling again!

I Can't wait unil Spring, we have had enough Snow for this Year.

Wrinkles Loves it no matter how much is out there. I can't wait to see the backyard once all this white stuff starts to melt.

Zena has found a Forever Home

noreply@blogger.com (Life with 5 dogs) — Sun, 30 Jan 2011 23:00:00 +0000

Zena Went to her Forever Home! She was a Really tough foster to give up. I Loved that Little Girl.

Grover Also Really Loved Her! He is not the biggest Fan Foster Dogs into his Pack, but he

really showed Zena what it is liked to be a Loved Dog. Here they both are sitting on my lap getting some Mommy Time!

Geisha and Zena Loved Cuddling on the Couch Together!

We Have Made Zena a Promise that if this Forever Home takes a turn for the worst she will become part of The Life with 5 Dogs House

and We will Become The Crazies with 6 Dogs House!

Please Keep Kalo in your thoughts he is Missing in Strafford NH since 1/18/11. I helped his Mom search for him for 5 hrs in snow that is Waste Deep which doesn't help.

I wish It wasn't so far but it is 1 hr each way for me to drive out there. There is so much Land out there it is like looking for a needle in a Hay stack.

My Current Foster Baby is Getting Braver Everyday!

We Hope Everyone is Staying Warm!

A Very Cold Saturday!

noreply@blogger.com (Life with 5 dogs) — Sun, 23 Jan 2011 01:18:00 +0000

It was Saturday and I was at Work, but I actually had a Really Good Time.

I visited with the Little Girl Lily that I use to take care of are Kona the Dog.

They were thrilled to hear that I was coming and they both sat at the door for one hour waiting my arrival.

We still have Foster Baby Zena and we are getting more and more attached to her. She is such a wonderful dog!

She is she a love bug and is more than happy sitting in your lap. As I blog she is sitting her resting her head on the keyboard.

I think all this snow is making the dogs go crazy.

Maybe they got bite my one of the Squirrels that they continue to Pester

Trust Me! They do Love one another you would have

never guessed that Looking at this Picture.

We Hope you are all having a Great Weekend.

UpSide Down Day

noreply@blogger.com (Life with 5 dogs) — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 13:22:00 +0000

As a Nanny for Children for the last 19 years I have come up with some interesting days such has backwards day where you have breakfast for dinner and pj day. Well the Dogs are having upside down day today.

Grover is the the one that seems to sleep upside down the most!

He is 90lbs so he does take up alot of room on the furniture.

We are finding out that Zena also loves to sleep upside down which is super cute!

One weird thing about Zena is her tongue sticks out. As anyone ever had a dog that the tongue has actually stuck out?

We Looked around in her little mouth and she as no bottom front teeth at all. We are hoping she gets her adult teeth soon.

Geisha Also Loves to sleep Upside down and will take up her fair share of the Living room Furniture.

Wrinkles is more than happy laying on her side and watches everything that is going on.

Lily Loves to lay like a Frog while Bailey is always on alert so we would never catch him laying on his back!

Meet Amber she is the Newest Member of The Family I nanny for.

Amber should turn out to be a Awesome Dog and a Wonderful Companion for the Family.

They Are New Dog Owners and have never had a dog before, so I am Glad to be on Board to help with her

The Family I work for has just lost their Father 3 Weeks ago to the Cancer. Amber is Surely a Welcome addition to the Mom and the who will have a much needed companion to get her through this Tough Time.

What a Tease!

noreply@blogger.com (Life with 5 dogs) — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 13:23:00 +0000

So the Dogs have been going a little crazy these days, while they are outside. There is a group of

little Grey things that tease them. It is actually kinda cute and has become a fun game I think for both the dogs and the

squirrels.

They hide near the Tree and bolt up it when when dogs come within a few feet of them

Then the dogs stand guard waiting for it to come back down or run the Fence Line so they can chase it. The Squirrel Chatters at them as it run by. Almost like saying "you can catch me, ha ha ha"

Wrinkles has the most fun playing this game, she will stand guard at the bottom of the tree, barking her head off at it.

It Chatters back with stop all that Barking at me

This makes Geisha, and Grover Mad and then all 3 of them stay guard at the bottom

Yesterday, they stood guard for 15 minutes waiting to catch it.

Our Friend Luke who lives in CT, was lucky and actually caught a little grey friend of his very own.

The Squirrel was not so lucky. I pray that my gang doesn't catch one because I don't think the outcome would be very good

We got a New Toy

noreply@blogger.com (Life with 5 dogs) — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 02:42:00 +0000

Look at our new toy Mom Calls it the Snow Spider! It actually is made with seatbelt material connected with our favorite thing called

BALLS!

Whatever it is it needs to get a Little shaking

and a little Pulling!

Which turned into a Game of Tug a War that lasted a Good 5 minutes

Wrinkles was very happy playing with her Old Ball and Rolling in the snow

While Foster Baby Zena Modeled her New Jacket

Zena is Getting Braver everyday, and we are falling more and more in Love with her every minute!

Meet Sweet Little Zena

noreply@blogger.com (Life with 5 dogs) — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 13:43:00 +0000

We are up Early here in NH as I had to get to work for 6:30 Am. It is Very weird to be at work on a Sunday but one more day of work and then I have the rest of the week off to spend time with the Dog's. So I really can't complain to much. I guess if I was home I would have to Clean the House.

This is our newest Foster Baby Zena! She is a Love Bug who Clearly needs some extra Love! She was born 16 weeks ago on a Front Porch in TN and has had a pretty rough life.

She was adopted to a family in Ma last Saturday. The family truely loved her but they have a daschund that has took a turn for the worse. Their Daschund might have to have his eyes removed, because of some horrible infection. So they could not keep Zena, because he keeps going after her.

So that means Zena is now on her 4th home in 16 weeks which totally breaks my heart. She is super sweet but is very fearful of quick movements.She will get all the love she deserves while she is with us.

She will be treated like a Princess!

She Already has picked out some of her favorite toys from the toy basket. One is the stuff free rabbit that is bigger than she is.

She has Discovered that it it make noise if she grabs it in the head, so she kept attacking it for about 45 minutes. Very Cute!

Has her foster mom I have made her a promise that she can stay with us as long as she needs! Her 5th Home Needs to be her forever home. I will not let her go home with anyone, she needs to be placed in a very home!

Even though we have a Foster Baby Grover will still be my King!

If we don't get another snow storm all winter I will not be very sad! I spent 5 doing snow clean up on Wednesday. Every time I will clean the bottom of the driveway, the snowplows would come on back by the house. The dogs on the other hand will be very disappointmented.

With 20 Inches of snow on the ground Wrinkles is enjoying every minute of it. Everytime she has to go out to go potty she comes back looking exactly like this picture.

Se insists that she most bury her entire head into the snow.

I end up having to spend 10 minutes drying her off.

Playing in the Snow has Made Grover Really tired and he still has not figured out that he doesn't fit in Lily's Little Bed.

Lets Play a Game

noreply@blogger.com (Life with 5 dogs) — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 18:24:00 +0000

A Musquash Sunday with a Great Group

noreply@blogger.com (Life with 5 dogs) — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 17:17:00 +0000

It was a cold day here in NH yesterday, but we belong to a great meet up group called Doggy Paws and Human Soles of Manchester NH and we were able to get together to go on a winter Hike. There was 10 people and about 12 dogs that went on the adventure.

Miss Wrinkles was the only one that had to stay on Leash because of my fear of her getting Lost, or not playing nice with others, but she has a grand time on the adventure.

Geisha had a Grand time running with all of her friends and always checking in to make sure that we were OK!

Wrinkles doing some shaking action as the dogs zoomed on by her.

Nothing like playing a game of Zoom when out hiking with a group of dogs.

Patiently waiting for us to climb to the top of the hill.

Geisha waiting for her Mom to pick us the Pace.

Here we are Finishing up a 2 hr Winter Hike. What a Wonderful time we had.

Mom said next time we can go with them, until then we will give her a hard time!
