Sheesh knows best

Sheesh knows best Sheesh is a sweet and clever boy who is accustomed to making his own decisions. Sheesh is a sweet, goofy, adorable dog who has many friends and fans.

This page aims to keep Sheesh's friends updated on his escapades and general cuteness. According to DNA tests (both Wisdom Panel and Embark), he is an Akita / German Shepherd / Chow-Chow / Bulldog / Other-general-mutt mix. Since Sheesh spent many years living a semi-feral life before coming to live with me, he's used to thinking for himself and making independent decisions that are sometimes surpr

ising to me (his mom). But he's a very clever boy, so it often turns out that Sheesh does indeed know best, at least when it comes to his own interests!

Well, one of us is comfy.

Do not leave your dog outside in this weather! You have to stay out with him and ensure that all of his beds and other seating options are in good order. Wipe down his magical warming square if the melted snow left a puddle on it. He still won't sit on it, because it's slightly moist, but he needs to have options. If you really want to go inside you might have to bribe him with cheese.

I couldn't figure out where Sheesh went in the backyard, until I heard munch-munch-munch and looked behind/under Cow Boy's swing to find him happily sitting in the slushy, icy, wet kiddie pool and munching away on some ice.

He did get up and follow me when I told him "don't get pneumonia, you weirdo". Maybe he misheard "pneumonia" as "cheese".

Apparently he thinks that 70 degrees indoors is way too warm for a double-coated fluffy dog like him. Sorry buddy, but the rest of the household are extremely short-haired pitties and me. I already wear a sweater indoors most of the time!

Cow Boy had a little emergency vet adventure on Friday. In the end, I think it was just a case of having a tummy ache and being very dramatic about it.

He woke up at 6 am throwing up and couldn't keep food down. He freaked out about it a little, then I freaked out about it a little and tried to give him meds, then he freaked out because mommy was trying to give him meds, so he kept trowing up even more, and acting uncomfortable and sad and broken.

When we got to the vet he suddenly remembered that mommy is his friend, and not a suspicious person trying to give him suspicious things. And actually, maybe he would like a treat or some of mommy's tea or something. Naturally, he stopped throwing up and acting uncomfortable, too.

So he got sedated and x-rayed, and it looked like just some inflammation, and he got an anti-nausea shot and went home.

At home he remembered that I was a suspicious person who tries to do weird things to him, so taking off his arm bandage was a bit of a challenge.

He's much better now - the last two pics are him enjoying his freshly-laundered blankie (guess why it had to be laundered). I really have to learn how to account for Cow Boy's dramatic nature before I decide to drag him to an emergency vet. Then again, who knows how long he'd be throwing up for without the anti-nausea shot?
