Until we meet again, Sweet Pea 💔

Freya crossed the Rainbow Bridge this evening. 💔💔💔💔 

Daddy will always love you. I will always miss you. 😢

Update

I'm not sure if anyone is still looking here at all for updates. But if you are, here is a long over due update.

Freya was misdiagnosed with Cushing's disease by an emergency vet.  So for about a year or so, Freya was given medicine she didn't need. Her energy level decreased over time and her weight dropped too much. I was finally able to convince my primary vet to look into it again.

After a few days of no meds, Freya's energy level popped back up.  She's back to a healthy weight. The only bad side effect was that not all the outer layer of fur grew back on the sides of her tummy from the ultrasound.

Freya is now almost 11-1/2 years. She is still spry with the spunky attitude when I first met her. My terms of endearment for Freya are "sweet pea", "squush", and "little one".  She likes to sleep in when I do, cuddle next to me on the bed.

Freya is easily one of the coolest dogs I've ever had the honor to be their pet guardian. She is definitely on of the smartest.

One Year Later

Wow I can't believe I haven't posted anything in so long.  It was the beginning of May that daddy sent me to spend a couple of days with my friends, Loki and Lacey.  But when he picked me up and brought me home, only Sandi (the kitty) was there.  My big brother, Grendarr, wasn't there.  Daddy seemed really sad.  I over heard daddy telling Sandi that Grendarr wasn't coming back in; that he was in heaven.  Then daddy picked up Sandi and told her that he missed Grendarr too.  :(

Since then daddy and I have gotten to spend a lot more time together.  I get to go outside more often and play with dad a lot more too.  :)

The Visitors - Not the Lizard Aliens

Well my grandma, da Mama, and my "cousin" Nick came down to visit me. Nick is a little skittish around me. I think he thinks I might bite him or something. And da Mama thinks she's the queen in *my* house! I can't complain ... I get good stuff to eat. :)

I found one of my new favorite snacks ... blueberries! They're yummy just like strawberries and raspberries.

Belated Happy New Years 2011

Happy New Years, everyone!! I have good news. Daddy took me to the puppy doctor last Monday and I'm in good health. Dr. Marty said I have plaque build up on my back teeth though. She suggested it was time I came in for teeth cleaning. Elana told dad about some treats by Purina that worked really well to get the stuff off her pups teeth. I hope dad finds them; I don't like the puppy doctor enough to stay there by myself.

How Time Flies

Wow I can't believe it's been forever since I've blogged anything. I've been having too much fun playing with all my stuffed animals and getting my belly rubbed!!

My favorite toys are the little ones that look like lions and tigers. I really like to chew on 'em since daddy says I can't chew on the Sandi kitty. And Grendarr keeps eating my food!!! It's a good thing I hide food all over the place. :)

Dad sleeps in a little longer in the mornings and plays with me a little more before he goes to work. I like his new job lots....he comes home sooner too!!!

Long Time No Update

Wow I can't beleive I've been playing so much I forgot to write in my blog. My infection went away after the second medicine daddy made me take. The next three months were fun. Daddy started moving stuff around and getting rid of some stuff though...didn't know what he was doing, except it started getting crowded with cardboard boxes.

At the end of March, dad got real sad...me and Grendarr didn't understand why. But Grendarr's leg hurt and he went to the puppy doctor. That's when dad got real sad. Then Grendarr went to the puppy doctor in the morning on April 1st and didn't come home for 2 more days. When he did he only had 3 legs and looked funny.

Then we moved and we live upstairs now. Daddy will take me out first then take Grendarr out to go for potty breaks & walks. And daddy gves me and Grendarr good stuff to go with or food. (Chocolate Cheerios or Strawberries usually. I love strawberries!!)

TTYL
Freya, the Princess

Recheck

Dad took me to the doctors again. That "perv" Jean took me outside to go pee and followed me around with a bowl. What's that about?!

Jean told us that I still had blood and that I need more antbiotics. Dad says I gotta take Baytril for 2 weeks. :(

She said if the Baytril didn't work I'd have to get an ultrasound to look for bladder stones. Why isn't this year starting better than last year?

New Years Bath

Daddy just gave me and Grendarr a bath. Daddy said I was a good girl while getting bathed. He wants to dry me off more...but wind dry is more fuunnnnnnn....catch me if you can dad!!

Happy New Year!!!!

Puppy Doctor Visit

I had an accident and wet the bed last week and Monday morning. :( Dad thought since I was licking myself more after that happened that I needed to go to the puppy doctor. Doctor Marty is a nice lady. Jean, the vet tech, bribed me with treats to go outside with her and go pee. I got more treats when we got back in and I sat on daddy's lap until it was time to go home.

Doctor Marty gave dad some Clavamox (125mg) tablets I'm supposed to take 1 pill 2 times per day until it's all gone. Uuugghh that means daddy's gonna try and trick me for 7 days straight. :(

Daddy put me back in the riding crate and we came home. He tried to trick me with some ham but I showed him!! I spit the pill out on the floor. I must have been good cuz he gave me some spreadable cheese!! And then he told me what a good girl I was! :D I'm the best Lundehund around! ;)

Santa Paws Visit

I love this time of year. Santa Paws visited me and brought me new toys. Two tennis balls, a stuffed kitty, a stuffed brown thing (bear? maybe?), a stuffed gray thing (elephant), a stuffed tan thing, a stuffed green & red bone, and a stuffed green mitten with a snowflake for me to chew off. The best part.....the stuffed stuff squeaks!!! Santa Paws is the best...all the stuff smelled like bacon!!!

Hope everyone had a great Christmas like me!!!

Puppy Kisses,
Freya

November Pictures Added

Dad just added the pictures of me from November. He used that iPhone and the light was dim so they aren't that great. But it does show what my face is like when playing with the laser light. I'm so cute!! :)

Clean Bill of Health

Good news:
Went to the puppy doctor for annual check up, junior canine wellness profile, etc. I gots a clean bill of health. The lab results will be in next week (Monday or Tuesday).

Now the not so good news:
We need to start walking more though...the vet people told dad that I now weigh 15.9 lbs. I don't look overweight though. I count that as a plus. There is some tartar build up on my back teeth. Doctor Highsmith said she'd like me to come in for a cleaning in 4-5 months time.

After being in the office a few years ago and hearing the heart monitor...daddy said he's a little skittish about bringing me in for a cleaning. Guess that leaves trying over the counter stuff to brush my teeth with and see if we can clean off any of it or prevent more build up.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Daddy and I wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving!!!

A Year Gone By

I can hardly believe a year has gone by already. The funny part was it rained on the one year anniversary of Freya's arrival in North Carolina. Just like in Charlotte it was a light rain this year in Garner and Raleigh.

I've found myself calling her Little One or when outside, Wild One. Freya is so funny when walk in certain areas. She'll snatch up a hunk of grass and the race ahead of me stop and snatch another chunk while I keep walking at a slow pace.

To date her favorite toy in the whole world is the laser light. The small blanky that came with her is another favorite. Freya likes to torture the stiffed animals. She will chew off feet then arms/legs/wings. The poor toys get some time off after loosing their feet though. Freya gets hours and hours of enjoyment chewing on the feet. The smaller the part chewed off the better too. Heck there's still a de-stuffed foot from one of the migratory quails she chews on.

Freya is happy and in good health. We both wish her previous parents well. I think of them from time to time and hope they know I am giving their little girl a good life. Freya is spoiled rotten. :)

Going Good

After looking my first few posts, I've noticed a few things. That playful spirit is definitely still there. Either I've gotten used to it or Freya doesn't bark as muh as she used too. (Though she does still bark alot..lol) I have referred to her over the past year as little one, my little monster, and wild one. She is still a little bundle of energy. She hates it when I use my iPhone instead of paying attention to her. (Did I mention she's a princess in demeanor? I think she's spoiled rotten...which of course is my fault.)

Freya likes to curl up with at night on the bed and twice gotten under the covers. With as heavy as the comforter is I'll never know how she could breathe under there.

One of her favorite things still is the laser light. I bought some fresh new batteries for it the other day. Freya gets this look on her face and the tail wags non-stop. My roommate and I have referred to this as her turning into a "crack puppy". When the light goes away...Freya acts like she's "jonesin" for more...

Freya will turn on turbo-puppy mode and chase the cat every now and again. She tries her hardest to get the cat to chase her too. They play really well together. 'Course the cat usually ends up with the upper paw just by sort of hiding and staring at Freya. Poor Freya won't go by the cat even to get a toy when Sandi acts like that. Sandi has pounced on her before when Freya would go after a ball.

Halloween Day Walk

Freya, Grendarr and I went for a walk earlier. We met up with Bristol, Colby and Vader. Typically Freya's a little skitish around Vader. Today though she was great. She kept sniffing the other dogs butts. LOL the funny thing was they seemed to like her invading their privacy.

Since the walk was a lot longer than she wad used too, the princess got to be carried at two different points. The second time she got to ride the rest of the way home. I'm thinking she'll sleep real well tonight.

September Pictures Added

I just added the pictures from September. I thought I'd taken a lot more pictures than I did. Unless I accidentally deleted them. Otherwise no news is good new right? Nothing really eventful happened after my last post. Speak of the monster and here she is. It's time to play or go out and go potty. Either way I have received my command to get off the computer....she hates my iPhone even more than the computer. :)

Undercoat Rag Doll

For the past couple of weeks Freya's been blowing bits of her undercoat. Most on her back legs. Poor puppy starts looking a little like some of her stuffed animals she's chewed a hole in. Almost looks like stuffing coming out of her. :) It becomes a game when I try to get the tufts of undercoat off her. Freya is so sweet and so cute. The neighbors smile and talk to her when she barks at them when passing by on our way out.

On another note I feel sorry for these little black bugs that have been crawling along the parking lot and sidewalks. They get this "huge thing" nudging them with it's big wet nose. I'm not sure whether or not Freya would try to eat them of I didn't say "leave it". The quizzical look she gets when she encounters a new bug is so cute.
