A Tribute to Magic

A TRIBUTE TO MAGIC

*FROM GOD'S HANDS

INTO MINE*

I needed some magic in my life. In the previous 2yrs. I lost my Rotti (Bear) 11 1/2 yr old to cancer: and then a 9mth. old to HD (Angus) he was a Kuvaz and a wonderful soul:

.I had just agreed to mid-wife a litter of pups for an elderly friend and got the same news about my 4mth old Nellie,(a Great Pyrenees).I decided not to get another puppy, I had become the keeper of babies that were terminal,and I wanted a change in job description. After all there are plenty of lost souls in shelters, that would be great therapy pets , and more importantly my best friend.

Hearing the news about Nellie my friend offered me one of the puppies: I said NO NO... NO more babies in my house.

It came down to this, when the Universe presents you with a gift, however it is presented, your a fool not to accept it with gratitude.

I got the call at 2:30 AM the day after Thanksgiving and spent the rest of the weekend there, 1st the birth and then settling everyone into a routine. It was great! I love that part of things.

Magic was my favorite of seven, from the time he went from* God's hands into mine.*That is how our journey began together

Today at 11:30 AM he went from my arms back to God

Magic has taught me so much I can not even begin to say..

The top of the list I must say, don't ever underestimate yourself or anyone else.

Next would have to be *Live in the MOMENT*

LOVE with EVERYTHING YOU ARE

He taught me that Magic is a real thing in our world..and we should share it with as many people as we come in contact with..young.. old..rich...poor...makes no difference..

My heart is breaking..and it is hard to wrap my brain around the fact that he is gone from my sight..

But will always be with me in the MAGIC of my HEART

To those of you who knew Magic..weather you met him in person or through e-mail..or even just read a story about him..thank you for sharing his MAGIC

Tricia and the fur kids

Laughter IS the best Medicine

Well I have heard my human as many other humans say this but today I really got this message in a big dose.

It was a usual day visiting and there weren't too many sick kids,the ones I did see weren't too sick,and most were ready to go home.

I got to visit with my favorite nurses at their station,where they keep the best treats just for me.

All the kids in Peds ICU were little babies and I usually can't visit with them.So we headed to the floor where the grown-up ICU is and also one of my favorite nurses are.

Adult ICU has great nurses, but most of the people there are very very sick and not even awake. Sometimes the nurses have an important job for me to do.Sometimes people have had some major head surgery,and it is hard for them to listen or do what they are told.And most of what nurses and Drs want them to do either hurts or is just too hard.

I don't talk and don't tell them to do anything,I also don't stick them with sharp needles.

Mom will put a chair next to their bed and then I will sit near their hands or arms.She lets me give them small kisses on their hands.and I know that they can feel me there.Somehow,MOM knows when this happens,and she puts a treat in their fingers and they give me treats.

The Drs and nurses watch me and their patients and sometines they open their eyes,and then sometimes they don't,but they usually ask them to do things which they can do after they spend some time with me.

Today all the patients were sleeping and not ready for any of this kind of work,,but I did get to meet some people that were with them (their familes) and of course my favorite nurses always remember me.and I visit with them.

So we were done and on our way out.And while we were on our way back to ICU I saw lots of people in the waiting area.(That's where lots of the family have to wait.)

I know we make our last stop there to see if anyone may need a hug.When we got to that area, it was packed with people from young to old,looked like many of them were camping out in the corner.

I love doing my tricks but when there is an audience it's even better and MOM still had some treats in her pocket.

I'm not sure what I did different but it made everyone laugh.
We stayed there longer than usual while MOM and Dad answered lots of questions.
And I made my way around to everyone that needed my attention.

I heard Mom and Dad talking in the car on the way home,and it seems that Laughter is good medicine.

It made them very happy that all those people were able to if even for just a little while laugh out loud.

It must be very improtant for people to laugh so my advise to all my Dogester friends is do something today to make your humans laugh.

It is medicine that isn't in a pill or a needle or awful tasting drink.
It just happens and makes everything better.

that 's it for now.
Next time I'll tell you about Madison.

Did you know???????????????

Well as my last entry states Mom does like to dress me up.And the kids and the
staff at the hospital seem to really appreciate it.All I need to do is coorperate.
While she's doing whatever it happens to be this month.

I forgot to mention something that I thought would be of interest to my fellow
fur friends.

While we were at the hospital we entered a room with kids in both beds.and as usual Mom asked if they would like a visit. and bed two was already nodding yes,but the young man in bed one was making a face and kinda shaking his head NO

I could tell he had been having a bad day and wasn't looking too happy.So I went to the end of the leash mom has on me towards bed one.and she wouldn't let me get any closer,and I was a few feet away from him and I looked right at him and
BURPED and then just stood there.

He had a big smile on his face and was reaching for me to come to his bed.
Mom asked him if I had just burped at him and he was laughing so hard all he could do was nod yes.
So I proceeded to do all my tricks for him and he petted me and the nurse came in
those are the people that take care of all these sick kids.She was cking one of those machines that was beeping.And she asked what he was smiling about.
And he had to tell her and everyone that I burped.

I didn't know that a burp was so funny or important.The nurse told mom he hadn't smiled since he arrived. And it sure made his day.

who knew????????????????????????????/

I had had a big drink of water in the room before and if I didn't burp when I did I may have exploded. But I had no idea that it would make someone's day.

So when your humans seem to be having a down day get a big drink and cheer them up with a burp in the face.At least it will take their mind of what ever they are down about.

OH Lord Mom's at it again!!!!!!

Happy St Patrick's Day everyone.I guess it is a big thing,Mom seems to think so
I don't really mind,I got to go see the kids at the hospital twice this week.
I think that every other week is not enough,but when there are holidays I get to go more.

As you can see by the new pictures Mom does do strange things to me on holidays and I already hear her talking about Easter.I hope that's the one she has to wear my bunny ears.

I have a feeling tho that I'm in for more vests.....I'll let you all know what she ends up comming up with.

Hope you all had a great day.
Magic

HAPPY CHRISTMAS and MERRY NEW YEAR

I hope that everyone is having a wonderful Holiday Season,I sure am.I think in my last entry I was a bit nervous,and I was right about that.I had to spend another day at the vet, without MOM and they had another lump? to take out that was on my chest.MOM was real happy when she got the phone call that it was AOK.

I hope that doesn't happen any more and we have decided that it won't.It's not that the vet is bad or they don't treat me very nice when I'm there,but all the fur kids that are left there at the same time I am are usually scared and all want their Mommies.It is very sad,

But as you can see from my page I have a new picture and can't wait to get back to work at the hospital.Those kids really need me,allmost as much as MOM does.
Mom made the outfit,and it seems to make her happy to dress me up for the kids.
They seem to like it as well.

As long as I get to go I really don't care,as long as she doesn't make me wear a hat I don't like them very much.They are very distracting,especially when I have to be alert for so many things at once.

To all my friends on Dogster my best wishes for a happy XMAS and New Year
Magic

I'm very very nervous WHY???????

Woof to all my friends it's been awhile since I posted,I am all better from the vet visit and surgery.

Mom is posting new pictures of me tomorrow Goodness knows what she has planned,I got an idea today when I saw Falkor all dressed up in what she said was for me.

I'm getting that feeling again from MOm and we did go and see the vet again.All he did was pet me though and that was very good and made me very happy.

Mom tells me that I have to go back,that I have something else only this time it is on my chest. It seems to have her worried again and the vet agreed wit her.

Does anyone know what next month means???

I can only go by what Mom says and how she is feeling and it is very familar to what was going on the last time when I woke up with stitches all over me.

I hope that this won't be that bad.I really hate it when MOM leaves me.The people are nice and everything,but it is so sad to see all the others that have been left by their moms,and every one is so sad.

I will let you all know what's happening when I find out and once it is all over until then, I will try to keep MOM happy,and even if that means dressing up like an iddoit I can do that no sweat.

till later

I'm not Happy about what MOM is saying lately

Hello all,I know it's been a while,but new brothers are something that keeps you busy.
Mom is talking a lot to me lately,seems I have to go to the vet. He's a nice enough man I have nothing against him.But Mom says she's going to have to leave me there in a cage.

She assures me that I haven't done anything wrong.That I have been a good boy
but somehow I need to have some surgery for some lumps that I have.
None of that sounds like a good thing especially the part about leaving me.

I don't like it when she leaves me at home let alone the vet place with all the crying barking babies,all wanting their mom's I would never stupe that low but it is a really sad place and I don't want to do it.

Mom has left me there before and she has always come back to get me,so I souldn't worry so much,I just don't know what she will do without me around
she needs me,

Sometimes humans really just don't understand how important they are to us and our job here.

Wish me luck,I need to get back on my feet ASAP just for her let alone everyone else at this place.

She told me the 22nt I guess it isn't far away since she is getting anxious about the whole thing.

I heard her tell her friends that she feels bad about having to leave me and knows how I feel about it,but she has to do it .So I will try to make it as easy on her as I can.

keep all your parts you can cross corssed.
woof till after

Mystery Solved???????????????

IN my last entry I explained that there was a mystery going on and that Mom seemed very excited and a bit anxious,and was explaining to me that I was going to be a great big brother.I wasn't too sure what that meant but it sure seemed important to her.

The mystery is solved and his name is Falkor he's on Dogster too now.

I have to tell you all that when he came he was so little that I thought I would break him.So I tried to keep out of his way.He was awfully cute and he wanted to play all the time.I finally relented and he didn't break.

He does have a real high puppy bark and he talks a lot.But only when we are all playing.

Emma took it pretty bad. The 10 days Dad was gone on his vacation she was a wreak, she couldn't eat or sleep and was not a happy sister at all and you all know what that's like,if you don't count yourself lucky.

Anyway after she talked to Dad several times on the phone she was a little better,but she was really missing him terribly.

When he came home it got worse,he walked in the house with Falkor.And of course all we could smell or see was another animal.
He didn't have a name yet.Emma wouldn't even go near Dad for at least a day and she didn't like Falkor at all.She didn't want to be a big sister,she wanted to stay the baby in the family.

I was worried about both of them.But as usual Mom, took the lead and let it be know that he was here to stay and was now part of the pack,and there were new rules that must be followed.

We figured out what she meant the 1st time Falkor yelped when we were playing.Emma crossed that line several times and it wasn't pretty,I can tell you,But things all worked out and now we watch out for him, and I spend most of my time reminding Emma,to play cool,and sometimes I run interference,sometimes for her sometimes for him.

He sure has lots of energy.And then he *pups out*I hear MOM say all the time he plays hard and then sleeps hard.She wants me to teach him to do the same kind of work that I do,and I think he's a natural.

He is a pest,like most little brothers are,but he's not worse than Emma was as a little sister.And I hear he's going to be as big as me.So that will be even more fun.

I hope you ck him out on his page Dogster ID = 316885

Woof and Howls to all I will keep you up on things

There is a BIG Mystery at our house.

Hello friends,there has been lots of excitment at our house and for the life of me I can't figure out what it is.
I've been hearing lots of words I've never heard before like,trip,and Daddy being gone,(that one has me worried)
Mom is very happy and excited and keeps telling me I'm going to be a big
brother,I vaugely remember that one when Emma came to live with us,and
If her being a pesky little sister means I'm a big brother,How can I be a
big brother again.??

Emma can be a pest but she is lots of fun too.

I've also heard the word Collie a LOT,what is a COLLIE??
Mom keeps telling me I will find out,andI've been listening to her conversations to friends and she keeps saying I will be a great big brother and
I can teach him lots and lots of things.

I guess I'll just have to wait until the mystery unfolds.
You know humans,sometimes they are just very confusing,So far nothing has changed our routine is the same.But I have a feeling this time that
there are some big changes coming and will keep you posted about what
ends up happening.

Till then my best woofs and howls!!!
Magic
