I just wanted to take the time to tell everyone who posted on our thread,in our favorite threads,or on our page with all of the wonderful Birthday Gifts and Wishes,Thank-you. You were all very kind and generous. I had a wonderful birthday full of fun got a few new toys,but Kai always takes those after a day or two,I do the same to him though so I guess it's okay. My birthday dinner was Chicken Cordon Bleu,we didn't get any sauce on ours though,Mommy said it wasn't good for us.The chicken was great without it though. Mommy played outside with us during the day,we played inside before dinner,then we sang "Happy Birthday" and I got my new toys.Mom will post pictures soon but Dad needs to take them from the camera and put them in the folder for mom. Mom says maybe for the New Year we will have our own pages back again but she needs to find some of our old photos and scan them back into the computer because many are trapped on the hard drive of our old computer that crashed and they have not been able to retreive them yet. Mom says she will just post the ones she has hard copies of when she finds them and scans them in. Take Care Everyone and Thank-you again for your kind thoughts.
Mika

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

So far we have survived "Hurricane Sandy" without any of the hardships many have suffered. We have had lots of wind and rain and don't want to play outside. Mom and Dad made sure we were prepared for worse but so far so good. We pray everyday for those who are in need and suffering the loss and devastation that have overtaken the entire east coast of the U.S. We pray that our fellow Dogsters also remain safe and well throughout this disaster,we know it has brought losses to many and will disrupt lives of many for quite awhile to come. It is supposed to be a day of fun for the little ones with costumes and candy but with the storm still swirling in some areas and the devastation in others,many of those childrens events have been cancelled or postponed for now. For many the loss of their homes and loved ones is this is far from a day of fun. We are praying that things return to normal as quickly as possible for those without power or vital services,that the homeless will be cared for,and those in need will recieve the help they need. Hugs,Prayers,and best wishes to all.

Hello friends! As you can see Mom finally added some new photos of us to our page. It always seems to take her forever. We are considering bugging her to put our single pages back up but have not talked her into it yet. We have been keeping her busy around the house too! We are just finishing up blowing our coats and have her brushing and vacuuming as well as trying to get our fur off of anything and everything it lands on. Kai also got all excited because our pup pal Buster and his Mommy came to visit and he broke the screen on the screen door again,the front door this time though. Dad fixed it so he can't tear the one on the back door anymore. Mommy said he's just lucky that it is time to take the screen out anyway or Dad would kick his butt!(He wouldn't really) We were driving Mom crazy this morning playiny the in-and-out game,where we ask to go out,Mom opens the door and lets us in the yard,we run around and just check things out,ask to be let back in,then repeat every 10 minutes until Mom gets that look and when we walk to the door just says, "No." It's one of our favorite games but I don't think Mom likes it very much.The pawrents talked about getting us a doggy door but decided against it when they discovered that the size Kai needs would mean replacing the entire back door,two of them in fact.Besides I would never use it,I don't like new things and freak out and cry when new things I don't understand touch me,I'm still not sure that the snow shovel Dad put out last weekend isn't out to get me,and no matter what the pawrents say,I did not walk into that chair because I was watching them eat to make sure they saved me a bite,it did just jump out and attack me,thank goodness I have Kai to protect me from stuff like that.Kai isn't afraid of anything. Mom and Dad have worked very hard to make sure that I am not afraid of things and have told me that they would never let anyone or anything hurt me and I trust them,but they couldn't do anything about that chair that jumped out and attacked me.
Hope everyone has a good night.

A little more about our new doggy neighbor. Her people were able to find out she is 3 years old,has already had at least one litter of puppies,until my neighbors picked her up and brought her home the vet that had been caring for her got at least 3 calls a week from people who wanted to do the right thing and find her owner.The more they found out from the vet the less excited they were about sending her back to her owners, so when the owner called and offered,they chose to take her in.She is very sweet and loving,knows her basic commands and is partially potty trained. She is fine overnight in their bedroom with not messing anywhere but sometimes during the day has accidents,Mom has been helping them with that. She also has a skin infection,ear infection and UTI that are now being treated. They are not thrilled with the idea of the spay abort but really can't think of another option given her situation. They are very good people who took in a cat left behind by it's owner when the owner moved and the kitty spent a week sleeping on their porch. Who ever had left him behind at least had the decency to have had him neutered,he has been happily ruling the house since and we are sure Mia will as well. They are good people who when the time comes and a stray is in need will do whatever they can to help. We know that Mia now has a home where she will be taken care of in the way she deserves and live happily with a family who loves her. They have always been wonderful friends and extended pack members to us,and now we will have Mia to love,protect,and play with as well. Mom also told Mia's people that when the UTI is better her potty habits may not be a problem anymore either. Will all our pals please say an extra little prayer for our little pal Mia and her new people that all goes well and she can now live a safe,healthy,happy life for many years to come? Thanks. M & K

Shhhh! be very quiet. We are being extra good today. Mommy has been fighting a migraine for the past 3 days but has still managed to play with us,care for us,and let us have alot of fun. We would like to say,"Thank-you to Everyone who left bunches of baloons on our gift space. Our husister,Cherie had two tooth extractions and is not feeling her best right now. We have had some good news though,our little girl Kayley,Mom & Dad's granddaughter and one of our most favorite playmates got all A's on her report card. We have a new doggie neighbor who is a maltese/pug mix from the looks of her,she was running around loose,wet,cold and matted and nearly got hit by my neighbors as they were leaving a relatives house. They picked her up,brought her home,bathed,fed and warmed her up. They then called the vet whose phone number was listed on her tags to try to return her,they left their phone number with the et for the owner. The owner called them and did not want her back. They took her to be groomed,took her to the vet and are planning to keep her.She will be spayed right away as soon as an ultrasound and blood work can be done because she was already in heat and potentially mated before they picked her up and with 5 children the youngest being not yet 3 and a cat along with both parents working,they do not have the time or energy for puppies or the finances should the delivery be complicated. They can and will take excellent care of her and can afford to care for her properly,just don't have the money right now for what could be some very costly vet bills not knowing what the puppies mix might be,so we have a new playmate and friend. We are very good and gentle with her and look forward to having some playtime with her as she gets used to her new home. Our little boy,Landon because he is in kindergarten only gets two progress reports a year so we hope he is learning and behaving well.
A special" Hello" to all of our friends in the Spam forum and our other Dogster pals as well and also to Mommy's friends who p-mail us regularly. Have a good day all..... Hugs.

I would like to thank everyone who sent us,p-mails,gifts,comments.and well wishes for my birthday. I had a wonderful day,it was mostly quiet but very enjoyable. I got some extra attention from Mommy &Daddy,had lots of fun with Mika,We even played tug with one of her new toys. The pawrents even had a canned food cake for me & Mika. We each got our own can in our special plates with a birthday candle in.Mika,Mommy,& Dad sang "Happy Birthday",Mommy helped me blow out the candle,and we feasted on our "cake" then we played with the new stuffies I got,they got Mika one as well but I always get stuff on her birthday,too. We all played together for a little bit but I was so full from my "cake" that I needed a nap. Mika didn't pick on me like she usually does which was nice,I hate when she bites at my tendons in my back legs. It has been much cooler around here which feels good most of the time but the mornings have been so chilly I like to spend a little extra time in bed. I am very thankful not only for the gifts and well wishes but for my many Dogster friends and my wonderful family as well. I hope my wish comes true. I would tell what it is but they say it won't come true unless you keep it secret. Hugs,Kisses and many thanks to all for making my birthday so special.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAI!!!!
LOVE YA,MOM,DAD & MIKA

Today is Kai's official birthday according to his AKC papers but he was actually born at 10:34 p.m. on the 25th of September. Our biggie boy is now 3 years old and all grown up. We will be trying to get some pictures of him today to post and to send to his breeder so she can see just how handsome he has become. We can't imagine life without him.
He is Mika's best friend and playmate and has made her life much better,he loves to play rough with Dad and have fun with him. For Mom he is her self-appointed protector, Emotional support dog & chief motivator,and aside from Dad her best cuddle bug. We are all safe from any danger as long as Kai is here and Mom has to do at least some things even on her most depressed days,Kai will talk to her and nudge her until she is up,out of bed,has coffee,and showers as well as making sure to remind her that we need fed,let outside,and of course cuddled and played with,and knows exactly what tone to use and how to tell her our needs. No one trained him to do any of this,he taught himself. Mommy sometimes says that Mattie must whisper to him from across the bridge because she can't think of any other way he could know the things he does. We have a quiet day at home planned but the pawrents will certainly think of some special suprize for us,they always do and I promise not to pick on Kai today,well,at least not as much as I usually do.

Dad went to work this morning and we are keeping Mom on her toes playing the in and out game,it's where we act like we urgently need to go outside,stay out for less than 5 minutes,want back in and do it again and again. After a bit more than an hour Mom has put an end to the game. She says she is too tired to play and is going back to bed. We tried to play with Dad over the weekend and he wouldn't play either but he just said no,after the third time in a row that we did it. Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes,Mom is finally feeling better except for being tired and having a mild temp increase,not really a fever. We are all hoping she is on her feet and back to normal before the end of the week. Thanks Everyone and have a good day!!!

We would like to thank all of our fellow Dogster's, old friends and new who have taken the time to send us gifts,well wishes, or just words of kindness and encouragement. We just wanted to let everyone know that aside from a virus that has had her feeling like crap,Mom is doing much better and it is because of your kind words and support.She has even managed in some cases to find her sense of humor again. She has also been able to tolerate short visits from others who have or have had the virus that has been keeping her far less active. She has even been playing with us a bit more. There are a few extra special people and pups we would like to thank for their kindness: Flika/Lucas/Cleo & Mom, Turner/Grunt/Darcy & Mom,Sanka/Kato & Mom,
Thor & Mom, Tyler & Mom, Bunny & Mom,Rocky & Mom,Anya,furblings & Mom
Yoshi & Mom,Natasha & Mom as well as many others who sent gifts,p-mails,comments, as well as well wishes in the forums when they have seen us.Your well wishes and support have been wonderful and as soon as Mom is done being kicked in the butt by this virus,she will thank you all more appropriately. Thank Goodness Dad is well and making sure we have fun while Mom is down for the count. She is doing as many have advised,resting,eating what she can tolerate,sharing with us of course,and taking it easy,mostly in the form of sleep.

We hope that all of our wonderful friends are doing well and staying healthy. Darcy & Grunt enjoy the playground and be on the look-out for bears and snakes. Flika & Lucas take care of Mom and help in whatever way you can to ease her pain. Thor keep the east coast safe from those commie horseshoe crabs and the gnomes on their toes. Natasha,that was one ugly spider make sure you and Mom are safe from them. Jewel do not let Mom take on more fosters than you can manage. For everyone else,stay safe,well,and enjoy as much good weather as you can. Hugs for those of you dealing with the sick and very recent loss of loved ones. Stay safe and aware of dangers from floods,fires,and other disasters. We have you all in our thoughts and prayers and will continue to do so. Mom may not be posting much right now but p-mails are getting answered,as Mom has the energy. Take Care all and we are thinking of you. Kai is being vigilant at staying at Mom's side as much as possible and I have taken over the main duties of watching the house. Dad has been helping to ensure that Mom has what she needs,and that we can continue to live in the lifestyle to which we have become accustomed. Thanks Dad for going to work,paying the bills,and providing the kibble for everyone.(Dad never gets the recognition he deserves,just the biggest piece of chicken) Take Care all be safe,well,and comfortable. For those of our friends who are teachers,thank-you for remembering that those you teach are our future and thank-you for doing the job you do,to ensure that they have a future as well.
