Miss Mylu Joins Our Extended Pack

The lovely Miss Mylu is a 3 1/2 year old retriever mix who has had some trauma. She took off from her mom and dad and was hit by a car.  Fortunately for Mylu she has wonderful, caring parents who rushed her off to the vet for the best ever treatment.  As a result of her injuries she is now left with severe damage to her right hind leg. It doesn't seem to stop the little darling from having a wonderful playtime with us and we welcome her with open paws.

She's been for a couple of short visits just checking things out and getting to know Princess MollyDawg and Lady May.  Miss Mylu will soon be spending a few more days within our fold. We can't wait for an overnight stay!

Mylu -" What's to do around here?"

On the very first visit with her mom and dad, Mylu spent a great deal of time with her nose glued to the bottom of my water cooler. Her mom and dad and I were busy filling out paperwork and discussing all Mylu's needs. We watched and just giggled as she pawed and tried desperately to get at whatever was under that water cooler. Her togue just didn't seem to be long enough. When Mylu went home I moved the water cooler and low and behold guess what was under it? Oh my little girl, you certainly have a good nose! It was a tiny grain of cooked rice! I guess I'll be cleaning my floors a bit more often when Mylu comes to visit. Even The Princess missed that one!

I bet you can't see what Mylu smelled?

You mean you found a bit of rice Mylu? Wow you're good!

Mylu was the youngest in her litter and is a very loving little girl. Her main goal is to play and give kisses. Well, we certainly can't complain about that can we? Well some of us do. Lady May will beg to disagree for sure. She can only take so many kisses. As a matter of fact NO kisses would suit her just fine. Mylu is learning that a curled lip means back off. She's not pushed that envelope to far, and hasn't had to answer to anything more from Lady May.

Why can't I just kiss everyone, everyday, all day long?

Note the distance lol

I'm told that Mylu has been having a wee bit of trouble with her bladder some days. Although she had no 'dribbles' at all while she was here. How do we know? Well, we fitted her with a fashionable pair of underpants. (okay so it was a doggy diaper) She didn't seem to mind that one bit and even continued to play with her chosen toys. We put it on after her outdoors play time and left it on while she slept. When she woke about an hour and a half later, there were no signs of dribbles and she went to do her full business outside. What a good girl Mylu!  Today was a good day.

I can still play with my toys!

We learned that Mylu likes to be noticed at all times and had to have a few moments of ignoring her.

I know, that sure sounds rude eh?  She's a very clever girl and caught on very quickly. Being a bit too demanding just doesn't work here. No, that's just not fun!

Why is no one noticing me?!

Molly had her fill of turning away and walking away and giving her "The Stare" She finally just retreated to her bed and stayed there for a nice long time. Lady May made sure her back was to her so she'd get the idea.  Sweet Mylu stayed very close by, just in case they changed their minds. 

Finally she decided it would be better to just find a toy and come outside with me.  She lots of time running and frolicking all over the yard. What a cutie.
She stumbled a couple of times while she romped about, but her hip didn't seem to hinder her fun.
We're excited to have Mylu come back to visit again. We know it won't be long before the Royals are romping with her.
See you in a couple weeks sweetie.
