It's My Birfday!

I would have been 18 years old today! It would be possible; my sister Soleil is 17.

We are having fun at the Bridge today... meatballs, t-bones, yogurt, angel cake, chocolate cake... all kinds of goodies!

We are running and playing in the fields and rolling around in the grass. After our feast, I guess every pup will lay in the field and snooze with a full tummy! BOL!

New Year Pawty at the Bridge

OMD! My siblings and myself had a pawty for the New Year yesterday. There was quite a bunch of us furiends and we danced and ran ourselves out of breath. The food was wonderful; the BBQ was red hot and steaks were sizzling! Oooohhhh! The apetizing smell of steak... and bones and potatoes.

We still took a few minutes to check out and watch over our living siblings and mom down on Earth. Their day was quiet and relaxing. They would have been amazed at all the fun that was going on across our side of the Rainbow.

Anyhoo, we wish all of you a wonderful New Year 2008, love, health and kindness to one another.

Hugs & Licks from the Bridge,

I met my siblings at the Bridge this morning

My kidneys were shutting down and mama was told I had a brain tumor. My heart was so tired and I had several seizures this weekend. This morning mom took me to my daily visit to the vet and I gave her a sign that I didn't want this anymore. The vet helped me cross the Bridge and I was in mama's arms the whole time. I joined Silky, Sheree, Precious, Suyin, Onyx and Panda, my angels siblings at the Bridge, very quietly in my mom loving arms.

Don't cry mom, I will always be with you. I love you.

Café Is Being Difficult!

Boy! Café jumped in my bowl tonight at dinner time. He was so obnoxious, I backed off from my own food. Mom corrected him but he wouldn't have it. My human sis picked him up and took him away and he tried to bite her big time! Mom prepared me more food after she put Café on the patio, away from the food and me. Café wants everyone's food all the time. Mom thinks he's not feeling well after his teeth were pulled out on Friday. She said, since the surgery, he is not his old self.

It's Soleil Shih Tzu's Birthday!

Today is my sis Soleil, birthday and she is 12. Mom says she still acts and plays like a pup. All I can say, and I know for a fact my siblings will agree with me, is SHE SNORES LIKE AN ENGINE! Even mama has to wear earplugs at night because Soleil disturbs her sleep. My bed is next to Soleil's! Can you imagine what I go through at night?

When I want to get back at her, I jump out of my bed in the middle of the night and push her out of hers and claim the bed as mine (hi hi hi!). Then Soleil wakes mommy up and whines until mom gets up, puts me back in my bed and puts Soleil back to bed. Oh well! I get mama's pat on the butt and a kiss and I annoyed the heck out of my sis!

I'm doing better.

I am feeling better after my scary episode. I am spoiled silly. No complaints here! What I need to complain about is that mom will not let me climb up the stairway to her office as I used to. She wants to make sure I feel good enough to do that. I'm fine, I'm OK! I barked it to her all morning. Do you think mama listens to me? Noooo! She blocked the stairway with a baby gate!!

I love mama to death but she can be a pain in my "buns of steel" sometimes!

I gave mom a scare today

Yep! She told me so after it happened. I climbed up the stairway to her home office to join the pack, mom and my human sister. Well, I don't know how it happened but I suddenly felt faint and I fell on my side. I felt limp and started to shake a little. My bladder and bowels emptied and mom grabbed the phone while my human sis rubbed my back and called my name. My siblings were all around me to comfort me.

After a few seconds, I came to and mama was talking to the vet. He said I am probably having some cardiac problem. He suggests I have one of those tests to find out what's going on with my heart. He said it's probably age related. I told mom I'm only 13 and not to worry.

Mom said she felt I was out forever. She gave me a bath and wrapped me in a towel and sat with me in her rocking chair and gave me lots of kisses. I responded with tons of them. She told me I gave her a scare and how much she loved me silly.

Vestibular Disease

A few days ago, Pepper woke up and felt all dizzy. He couldn't walk properly and his head wobbled around. His eyes were in constant movement. We took him to the vet right away and were told our little boy had Vestibular Disease. Noone knows what causes it and it goes away as it came. We just don't know how long Pepper will have this illness. It could be anywhere from 72 hours to 14 days.

In the meantime, he doesn't keep anything down! Today, Pepper is on IV fluids to avoid dehydration until he feels better. Poor little boy! Even if he feels miserable, he still wants to shower us with kisses.
