Spring fun

Well Spring is here and mind you Missy and Mom would prefer it to be in the 70's for the high Dad, Tipsy, Trixie, Chickadee, Grandma and I am digging this low 80 degree weather. So today Dad did some yard work and then he helped Grandma plant some vegetables that Missy then tried to eat but, she was told they aren't ready yet....Mom didn't touch them because, she seems to have the touch of death when it comes to plants and Dad and Grandma were teasing her over it. So while Dad and Grandma did that Mom was cooking on the grill. Which made Missy and I happy because, it means BBQ for us...we had some ribs today and they were yummy.

While they were doing all of that Missy and I were playing tag in the yard. Needless to say I got cocky and slowed down to tease Missy and out of no where she sped up and plowed through me...just cause she is big doesn't mean she can't be fast that was my lesson for the day. While we were playing Chickadee and the terrors (terriers) were on the high ground which is what everyone does when Missy is running...takes the high grounds cause she isn't very graceful. I mean I don't get it I can leap over anything and run like the wind without missing a step but, she looks so goofy and I honestly thought she would grow out of that. I think it's because, I was a ballerina in my past life...it makes sense to me.

Anyways Spring is here and that means we will get to be out and about a lot more before Summer comes....Missy and Mom don't do heat. I hope Spring comes soon to the rest of our pals...though Missy is jealous of your cooler weather but, what does she know right?

Sorry for being absent.

Well first of all Missy and I want to thank everyone for the gifts on Valentines Day. We also want to say sorry for not being on often, we are trying to get Mom to fix that but, she is kinda stubborn and busy here lately.

Some updates about us we found a trail nearby that leads to the river and Mom found a place that is shallow so Missy can play in the water which is great for her but, water isn't my thing so Dad and I will stick to exploring while I leave Missy and Mom to the fish. Also I have two new masts on my leg and the vet said unless we amputate it they can't be removed and then he told Mom realistically if they are on my leg they are probably in my chest too seeing how the original mast was in my armpit/chest area and the two new ones are way lower down. He doesn't think I am a good candidate for chemo or radiation because, I have more issues then just that. So we will be doing pain meds when needed and keeping me on the steroids to stop my allergies from getting out of hand. Mom was depressed about the news but, she is adjusting cause the vet told her I can still live for years if she keeps what she is doing going. Since Mom and I both love and trust my vet and know he wants what is best for me we will be listening to him and she will keep doing what she is doing for me. She has also decided that we will all be spending more time together that's been kinda fun and interesting. She takes us out more and walks us more now so I am not complaining.

So between that and Mom working longer hours at the shop she hasn't had much time to update our pages. She said she will work on that because, we gave her the sad eyes. We hope you are all okay and having fun.

Big day here.

So we all know it's Christmas and so from my family to yours we are wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Now to get to the real point...it's my birthday. I was born on Christmas so I have to share my special day with everyone. Mom says everyone is celebrating my birth but, I don't know if I should believe her quite yet. So today Dad made me a cake which was delicious and Mom stayed home today and cooked a dinner. Now she said it's for Christmas but, since it is my special day too I got to enjoy some of it. Missy and I got to sample the sweet potato mashed thing Mom made, mashed red baked potatoes and ham...we got to have ham. Mom gave us a piece while she ate and then after she gave us another piece and I am not talking small pieces. I am talking a full piece of ham. Dad called us spoiled I say we are loved.

I want to thank you all for the gifts they made my day even better. I do hope you guys are all enjoying your Christmas with your family. I also hope you got to sample some of the dinner.
