Hello from Millies grammie

[Millies grammie]

I am Millies grammie, and I love her dearly. I am the main caretaker from 7:15 AM, until Michelle gets home at 4PM. After that we share duties. Millie is the first big dog we have ever had and it takes some getting used to. She is making me a much better housekeeper for sure. I just can't believe she can reach some of the things she does on my kitchen counters. It really wasn't Millies fault that she broke the sugar bowl. Someone, like 16 year old granddaughter maybe, left it within three feet of the edge of the counter However, the fact that she left a small lake in her grammies bed, is no one fault but hers. I am trying to make excuses for her behavior, like maybe she thinks my bed is HERS and she wants the whole world to know it so marked it as such, or she and Lola were playing on the bed as usual and she just didn't want to take time to go outside to potty. Whatever the reason, All is forgiven. Grammies NEVER hold grudges. We are a multi pet household, and in addition to the four dogs, we have three birds. Emily, the Afarican Grey learned to say Millie's name within a day. Now she has added Millie to her flock and fusses at her just as she does the rest of us. She tells her NO, ask her if she wants to go out, tells her no bark Millie. Because Millie is just a pup, and quite interested in the birds, we are very careful that they are not out of their cages when she is inside.

Sophie,the nine year old Bichon only tolerates Millie. Diva that she is, she doesn't play with new underlings. Maggie, the little Schnauzer, has just given up and lets Millie lick her in the face. However, she doesn't play with her. Then there is LOLA! My three year old mineature poodle that loves Millie. When Millie came Lola weighed a whopping 18.8 pounds, yesterday at the vet, she weighed 14.8. It's all that playing she does with Millie. However, the vet did say that Millie has to quit pulling out the hair on Lolas ears. It is getting pretty thin. It is so funny to see them playing. Lola fits underneath Millie with room to spare, but she can take her down in a split second if things get to rough. A fru fru poodle she is not! Personality plus, rough and tumble, lovable little doll, that's Lola.

I have been lurking on the forum since before we got Millie, and thought it was time I joined as well as Millie's Mom. We have learned so much from the forum!
My only complaint is that I am losing SLEEP. Every night I get on and read the stories. I started with the very last ones, and am now down to page 50. Love the stories and the post.

Millie just brought me my bra, must be time to get dressed.LOL Until next time,

HI MILLIE's granmmie......so nice to meet you!!!

Between LOLA and EMILY and YOU sounds like MILLIE has 24/7 training

MILLIE has heightened as well.

Millies Grammie, you are a hoot! So glad you joined us..I'm sure you'll love it here! Sounds like we're all in for some rib splitting stories and pics from that girl!!! Make sure you push your butter waaaayy back on the counter...oh..and your blue tooth too if you have one...Raleigh grabbed mine at one time.. Maybe he was trying to call Millie!

Welcome Millies Grammie! I loved your intro.!!! One thing you might think of is keep the bacon out of reach. We would be here all day if we listed everything to move out of reach in the kitchen alone! Oh yes it isn't just the mouth and paws that reach but most doodles have giraffe tongues!

[MaxandMe]

NOTE to Millies GRAMMIE: you will ALSO be totally AMAZED at LOLA's snake like swallowing abilities
IF youuuuuuuuuu dont' hide PANTYHOSE, SOCKS, and Paper towels

pantyhose and kitchen dish towels can COME BACK UP and keep a doodle inactive for hours afterwards as that type of
death defying act wears the heck out of MAX!!! (yes i said a kitchen dish towel ...we almost framed it)

Hi again, Millies Grammie...I do laugh with these posts...but I think it is also important to note that dogs eating things can be very dangerous...and that they don't always throw them up...sometimes a dog will die when they ingest socks or towels or panties...so, even though we are able to laugh (because we have all been there, and we are lucky to have our dogs be able to deal with it) it is also something that every one of us will tell you is not a good thing...so, when possible, keep in mind that Millie WILL eat things she shouldn't...so it is up the the human family to make sure that dangerous things and objects are not in her reach.

Now, caution and warning over...back to the happy laughter...
