Phoebe the Rescue Mutt

Phoebe aka Miss P, The Phoebster, (Love)Bug, Knucklehead, Little Gurl I was born around the 10th of October, 2013, probably in Virginia. I passed that 40-50 lb.

Somehow I ended up at the Virginia Beach SPCA, where I shared a "suite" with my litter-mate brother. The SPCA probably didn't want to world to know what I really was so I'd get 'dopted, they said I was a Feist. My pawrents kept getting asked what I was, but everyone disagreed. They finally had my DNA tested. Turns outs I'm 50% American Pit Bull Terrier, 24.2% Australian Shepherd, 19.4% Australian

Mahm can't get out of her recliner without crawling over or around me. I only lie this close to her chair when she's in it.

Only took me 3 days, but all 9 of my bones are outta the basket & on the floor. I clearly don't have a favorite.

Mahm says it's a good thing I've got brown ears or she wouldn't be able to find me in all this white stuff. 👀

Dad said I've been such a gud gurl during all this storm nonsense that I deserved a treat. Mahm gave me a peppermint earlier, but agreed that, even tho I'm 'posed to be on a diet, I should get a stick. 😋

I had 3 perfectly good bones already out of the basket that I've monched on throughout the day today, but I dug around the 6 others in there to gnaw this one for a while. I obviously don't have a fave. Mahm just thinks it's a game I play to keep her busy picking them up & putting them away every day (at least once). 🦴
Edit..in the time it took to write & post this, I quit. And then grabbed one of the others on the blanket. 😜

Think I'll just plop here...

Something's going on wif my right ear, but the dogtor says she can't find anything wrong. When M or D rub it, I kinda moan. I've been rubbing it on the rug, too. Mahm recorded me doing it today. Welp, seems the owie on my elbow wasn't was healed as much as they thought or maybe I just got too "ruff" (😉) wif it, but I left blood all over the rug that Mahm had to scrub up. They put my blanket back down again, jic.

Welp, I haven't been allowed to clean any of the dishes before they get put into that machine thingy & no one's given me any treats when I've asked (very politely, I might add) for a few days. I haven't had my peanut butter-filled Kong or even my cookie hider. I guess Mahm was feeling sorry for me, maybe even a bit guilty, so she caved in & gave me a stick. The blue blankie has been down since the dogtors visit so the goop being put on my owie doesn't get all over the nice rug, so I didn't even have to go out on the freezing porch to enjoy it. I guess she does still love me after all. 🥰

Here's my latest health update:

Last dogtor visit in September I weighed in at a chonky 88.5 #. Lol. Had to go see Dr. Susan again today for an owie on my elbow. (More on that in a minute.) Weighed in at a *fat* 90.5 #! M&D says no more licking their plates & bowls clean and no more extra treats just 'cause I ask for them.

So...I have an oozing sore on my right elbow. Everytime I lay down it gets rubbed. I'm also favoring my right ear. When someone rubs it I "purr" & I'm rubbing it on the ground. Dogtor checked it & there's nothing wrong. Two more pills for me to take every night (an anty-itchy & an anty-biotic) and some goop to put on my owie for 2 wks. 🤞 they clear it all up. Oh, yeah, and I started taking a pain pill last wk for my arthur-itis & a new vitamin for it gets here in a couple of days. Mahm says I need to get a job to help pay for all this stuff! 🤑
