Think Pink!

That's right!

My sunshine doesn't come from the skies,
It comes from the love in my dog's eyes.

Happy Mother's Day!

Mommy,

For all the fun you are
For all the things you do
For all the walks you take me on
For not yelling at me for my "accidents"
For all the trips to the pet store
For all the brushing me to keep me beautiful
For the care that you give me
For all the toys you by me
For all the games that you play with me
For all the car rides we take
For the loving way you get my "yums" ready everyday
For all the medication given too me
For all the money spent on me
For being so good to me....always and know matter what
For all the sweet talks you give me
For all the hugs you squeeze on me
For the bottled waters you pour in my bowl
For all the softball games you take me too
For all the help on Dogster you give
For all the groomer and spa days you take me too
For the beautiful clothes you get for me
For the tender way you give me my shots for my allergies
For the sweet way you call me in
For the loving way you wake me up in the morning
For all the times you don't get mad when I bark at the mailman
For taking extra special care of my ears and eyes

This is why I love you so much. For all you do mommy, I am so lucky that you came into my life. Happy Mother's Day.

Dear sweet friends,

Please forgive us for not being on much. It's an awfully busy time for us. My sister is graduating High School (YAY ASHTON!) so there is so much to do.
One weekend is the graduation party. Mommy and daddy are getting the yard ready and doing little things in the house. Mommy is planning, planning, planning, ordering, ordering, ordering, shopping, shopping, shopping. Mommy says Ashton is costing her a small fortune. She finally got announcements mailed. She was many short and had to make some. That was a BIG hassle as the paper was too think and kept paper jamming the printer. What should have been simple and a few minutes took hours and hours. (Shhhh, *looks around and whispers* I thought I saw mommy actually pulling her hair out. *whispering* Don't say anything to anywoof, that's just between us.)

Another weekend there is Prom. There is also lots going on getting her ready for her senior prom. It must be a very big deal because there is talk of jewelry, up do's, gowns and limos. Wow, I wish I could go. Mommy says again my sister is costing her a small fortune and will be very glad when it is over. We picked up the dress yesterday and it was all ready and fits perfectly. She is going to be sooo beautiful. She is getting her "nails done". I can't imagine why, I hate having mine done. Then again if I got to go to prom, I'm sure I'd suffer through it.

Then another weekend there is the actual graduation. Mommy says she'll be there forever and she is worried how bad it's going to be on her bad back. Ashton's class is somewhere around 500 students. More shopping for this too. Ashton SAYS she needs a new outfit for under her graduation gown. I say what for? Now this is where I tend to agree with mommy and say that child is milking us dry!

Of course there is SOFTBALL, SOFTBALL SOFTBALL! *shakes head* Ashton plays High School softball. They have double headers every Tuesday and Thursday night. The team is not doing very well this year. The starting pitcher tore her ACL and her MCL. The 3rd baseman moved away and the shortstop graduated last year. Anyway, it's not been good. They went to State last year and placed 4th but they won't be going to State this year. It was Senior night last week. That's where the seniors on the team are honored. I didn't get to go. It was hot that day and mommy said with my ear infection I'd be happier at home. Ashton got flowers and everything.....not fair! They have been doing lots of fundraisers too. That keeps us all busy.
The end of the school year is also wrapping up so there are things at school mommy and daddy have to go to with Ashton. It seems like at least twice a week they get dressed up and go to that High School. *rolls eyes* No pets allowed. Phooey on that...pppfbbt.

Those of you that have asked, my grandma is doing okay. There are lots and lots of doctors appointments to go to and she has her bad days and bad weeks but I think she has more good days and good weeks. We have to keep a sharp eye on her though, she has gotten forgetful and easily confused lately. She would make anywoof a great napping partner! She naps a lot too. She still drives...although mommy is not sure that's such a good thing. *looking around making sure that no one can hear* She's been stealing a lot of my attention lately too. Between her and Ashton there is not much left of mommy to go around! I'll be as glad as mommy when all this hoopla is over.

Mother's Day is coming up. Maybe mommy can get some rest that day. I think I'm going to be extra sweet, good and cute that day just for her.

So that explains the absence lately. It's all Ashton's fault.
