Birthday: July 15th 2002 Likes: Chasing critters; sleeping in the big bed; going to see the Grandparents; barking at anyone or anything that makes the slightest move outside our house. Pet-Peeves: not catching any squirrels; cats; loud noises; bath time; grooming of any kind Favorite Toy: stuffed toys with realistic sounds- so she can shred them to bits Favorite Food: peanut butter, cheese, chicken and frogs (unfortunately) Favorite Walk: Down to the pond in back of our house Best Tricks: sitting, dancing, ringing a bell to go outside and turboing around the house without running into anything Arrival Story: Ceilidh has an under-bite, so the breeder could not get her usual asking price. My brother and sister in law got their JRT from the same breeder and they convinced her to let me have Ceilidh. At first I didn't know if I could keep her because my husband has allergies- but it all worked out very well and he had no allergic reaction. We both fell in love with her and wouldn't part with her for the world! :-) Forums Motto: Got frogs? The Groups I'm In: 'Just Jacks', *JRTerrors*, Adams™ Flea Fighting Group, Febreze® Pet Odor Eliminator™ I've Been On Dogster Since:
Your expressive ears that would curl into an "L" shape when you were feeling affectionate; these were naturally called your love ears.
The happy frenzy you went into whenever I put my sneakers on.
The way you would shake your toys for dear life.
The way you eagerly jumped into your harness at the door whenever there was a promise of going for a spin in the car.
The way you would greet us when we came home- by turboing around- jumping from the couch, running into the bedroom, leaping on the bed and on your back for a belly rub!
Your crazy antics when you saw a frog on the other side of the window- you would try to bite the glass to get to it.
How you always seemed to know what I was going to do even before I did- I swear you were a mind reader.
How you loved us unconditionally and were such a comfort and joy to have around.
You added so much to my life and things are just not going to be the same without you....
Today I am 5 years old and it's a beautiful day to be alive!
I haven't written in a long while and much has happened to me lately.
A few months back, me and my family found out that I'm a very sick girl. I've been diagnosed with lymphoma, a form of cancer. Because I'm so young and I'm otherwise healthy, my parents decided to have me treated with chemotherapy. I've had several treatments so far and there's no sign of cancer at this time. We are all very happy about that.
The treatments are a little hard on me but it's not as hard as it is on people. I won't lose my hair or feel sick for days on end. I do feel quite tired after my treatments; I think mostly because I'm stressed out about being at the vet's office all day long. That sucks. I'm ever so happy when my family comes to get me and take me home.
I have many treatments still in front of me and I don't look forward to them but I do look forward to many birthdays to come! I plan to live a long time and beat the odds.
To all the pups and peeps out there who are experiencing anything similar with their furry friends, cancer does not have to be a death sentence. They have some remarkable treatment options available, whether they be traditional or holistic; your pet can still have a good life.
I'm having a wonderful time today flinging my new croaking frog around and feasting on the "mutt meatballs" that Granny made for me.
I am a happy girl today and everyday. That's the beauty of being a dog. :))
You're a complete and absolute nut......you're sweet and loving.......you're a fierce predator......you make me laugh so hard sometimes......and shake my head in frustration at other times.....either way you're a true best friend.
