These People Are CRAZY!

Rainbow Bridge Crossing

5:30 PM, Wednesday November 4:

Al had been VERY sick, for a very short time. She was first diagnosed with cushings just a few weeks ago, then she crossed into Addisonians, then she started with the kidney failure yesterday. I'm glad she waited on her daddy to get home from a work trip.

Our hearts are broken, our home is a little emptier & sadder, but we are all the more rich for having known & loved her....and having been loved in return.

THESE People.....HUFF!

Can you beleive that "THESE people" who claim to love me haven't written about me, or even let ME write about MYSELF for.....well, it's been FAR too long! I've let my public down, and that's such a shame for a star like me. The humiliation of it all is almost too much to take!

Well, don't worry, I've not forgotten anyone! You are all still so special to me!

Where to start.....where to start..... Well, Grampie has been in the hopsital for a LONG time now. Daddy says that he's going to be OK, but that his heart needed to be bypassed 4 times, then he had LOTS of fluid that had to be taken care of. Daddy (well, Mother too) was mad 'cause he said the people at the human hospital almost shut down Grampie's kidneys and they've been fighting that now along with more heart things. Well, I don't know about you, but THAT'S why I go to Aunt Kate, she doesn't shut down anything and she knows what she's doing. Apparently human doctors aren't that bright! Puppy doctors are MUCH better! THANK YOU AUNT KATE!!!!! Eventhough we don't really like going to her hospital, she's very good to us and loves us and makes us better.....but could ya' get rid of the shots already? I'm NOT a pin cushion here!

We've not been hiking or on any adventures 'cause Grampie's been sick since May of 2007 and we've been afraid to go anywhere too far away, or get out in the woods where nobody could reach us. I really need to get out, I need to hike! There's a GREAT spot that's about 30 minutes away and it's only a mile hike in so it's not that far or that hard. We could do that one again......HINT-HINT DADDY!!!!!

I've had another birthday! now, a lady doesn't revel her age, but let's just say that if I were human.....I'd be getting one of those checks from that security office that says they are socialized! Oh, and speaking of being socialized, we've STILL not joined the Dog PArk! HELLOOOOOOO!!!!! MOTHER!!!!!! Well, our baby cousin Holly has joined, but she's only been able to go two times in a year 'cause she's Grampie & Grammie's furkid. Why don't Daddy & Mother take her? Well, they're busy too, and Uncle Robby isn't a dog person (yes, he's strange!) so he won't take her. Heck, the few times that Daddy & Mother have had to go away for one night they can't even get him to come over to feed us and let us out ONE time! They have to get Uncle Seffie (that's Max's REAL Uncle) to come from another town 30 mintues away to come take care of us......Uncle Robby lives ACROSS TOWN, 10 minutes away! I TOLD you he was strange! BOL!

Our Beagle cousins FINALLY got a new home! Mother and Aunt Jody looked for almost a YEAR! Can you beleive it?!?!??? In this sad economy and housing market nobody could take them or really wanted them. There were the 3 of them, and they didn't want to seperate the parents 'cause they'd been together for 3 years, then their daughter from the last litter 18 months ago. This REALLY nice man has 800 acres is taking them! they won't be hunting dogs, just loved! Heck, Daddy said HE'D like to run on 800 acres! I won't tell you the rest of what he said to Aunt Jody.....but it was REALLY funny! Oh, why didn't we put the Beagles on ehre for adoption? Again, it all falls to Gramie being sick. The few times that Mother thought of gonig to Aunt Jody's to take pictures she was so tired she couldn't get up, and when she was over there they forgot! (HUFF!) Humans can be SO lame-brained!!! If it were left up to me I would've had pictures the FIRST day and had them in a GREAT home by the SECOND day! NEVER leave a job to humans that can be done by a Dachshund! Humans can be SO unreliable, don't you find?

Well, as usual time has slipped away and it is VERY late and I'm needed to keep Daddy company. It's bedtime and I think he gets afraid of the dark, he lieks haing me clsoe to him. I curl up next to his belly, sometimes on his chest to make him happy, and I make him feel safe. The boys? (YUCK!!!) The boys curl up on Mother. Skooter has his spotS, he starts out under the covers with his head on her chest, laying his body down her left side, then when she's good and asleep (and he's too hot) he gets up and moves down to her left calf and puts his head on her foot, he's ontop of the covers at this point. Max makes sure he's between Daddy & Mother.....big chicken that he is! He FLOPS, "POOF", full force onto Mother's right side, with a great "FLOOMP", he huffs and she howls in pain.....tee-hee-hee, I think it's funny. He flops and flops all night making it tough for anyone to sleep, but espcially her, and I kind of like that 'cause if she's home she lays down for a nap in the late afternoon and I curl up with her. Don't tell Mother, but I think it's nice. I'll never let her know, but I'm really growing fond of her. I've realized that she's been with Daddy for 20 years now, and she's not going away any time soon, and she's not ALL that bad all the time......now let's not forget she IS human and can be as lame-brained as the rest of the lot.....but she loves me SO very much, and worships me, and tells me how special and important I am.....so she can't be ALL bad, right? I guess the most important thing is she loves Daddy and makes him happy.

NEVER a dull moment.....

Well, Christmas has come an gone, so has many other holidays, and you think they igmored me? Nosiree! Mother took a job at Aunt Kate's, but it was too hard for her (see, I told you she's stupid!) so she went back to work at her first job.....so she's home a lot now.....and I'm not happy. Why? I can't get into things like I want! I can't torture her the way I want! Uncle T is suppsoed to be working on another job deal for them so maybe Mother can take me to work at the enw place.....but we don't know anything yet.

You all know that I think my Father is KING, right? Well, he is! He proved it on Saturday night (March 29th). Daddy was up watching a movie at 2AM (he couldn't sleep), Mother, Skooter & I were asleep in the bedroom in the back of the house.....oh yes, "he" was back there too. Max. UGH! Anyhow, Daddy came in & woke us up telling Mother to keep us in the bedroom, the Police were coming! Daddy heard something and caught someone parking next to Mother's car and someone else getting out of the car and creeping up the walkway to the house. Oh, there's SO much more to it, but sufice it to say Daddy scared them and they escaped before the Police got tehre, but Daddy kows what they drive and what they look like. Daddy protected ME.....Ok, us.....but he's SUCH a hero! I love my Daddy!

I hope that Uncle T gets the new job to work, that way I can go somewhre else & get away from "the boys" for a while....Ok, yes, I'll be with "HER", but at least we"ll be out out of the house, right? I mean that way MORE people will get to know and love (and feed?) me! Oh, see, I keep telling you, it really is ALL about MEEEE!!!!!! Oh, the world is MINE!
