Mommy is always kissing and hugging me lately. Usually at night she holds me and I can tell she is wiping away the tears so I don’t see them. She tells me how much she loves me and holds me tight. I can’t hear anymore but I know what she is thinking. I know my time is very limited. I get tired easily and I sleep really hard and it scares her. I know she watches me to make sure I am breathing just like she does daddy. I wish somebody could convince her I will always be with her even if my body is gone but I don’t think that is enough. Both she and daddy give me lots of attention and love and all the things a dog needs. She brings me a new toy nearly every week.
She sees other dogs going to the Bridge that are my age and many are dear friends and she gets even sadder. When Wilson went to the Bridge it broke her heart. Then soon to follow was sweet Pebbles (our sweet angel). Then shortly after that was Arthur that we loved dearly, her dear sweet Gracie Jane and her hero and mine Samuel Jacob which nearly killed her. So many friends have gone to the Bridge after that as well.
Please tell mommy that no matter what, I know her and daddy have always taken good care of me and done everything possible and what matters is that I am here now and not to dwell on what will be instead of what is today. I am still a happy spoiled pampered little girl.

I Am Your Dog -- Author Unknown
I am your dog, and I have a little something I'd like to whisper in your ear. I know that you humans lead busy lives. Some have to work, some have children to raise. It always seems like you are running here and there, often much too fast, often never noticing the truly grand things in life. Look down at me now, while you sit there at your computer. See the way my dark brown eyes look at yours? They are slightly cloudy now. That comes with age. The gray hairs are beginning to ring my soft muzzle.
You smile at me; I see love in your eyes. What do you see in mine? Do you see a spirit? A soul inside, who loves you as no other could in the world? A spirit that would forgive all trespasses of prior wrong doing for the just a simple moment of your time? That is all I ask. To slow down, if even for a few minutes to be with me. So many times you have been saddened by the words you read on that screen, of others of my kind, passing. Sometimes we die young and oh so quickly, sometimes so suddenly it wrenches your heart out of your throat. Sometimes, we age so slowly before your eyes that you may not even seem to know until the very end, when we look at you with grizzled muzzles and cataract clouded eyes. Still the love is always there, even when we must take that long sleep, to run free in a distant land.
I may not be here tomorrow; I may not be here next week. Someday you will shed the water from your eyes, that humans have when deep grief fills their souls, and you will be angry at yourself that you did not have just 'One more day' with me. Because I love you so, your sorrow touches my spirit and grieves me. We have NOW, together. So come, sit down here next to me on the floor, and look deep into my eyes. What do you see? If you look hard and deep enough we will talk, you and I, heart to heart. Come to me not as 'alpha' or as 'trainer' or even 'Mom or Dad', come to me as a living soul and stroke my fur and let us look deep into one another?s eyes, and talk.
I may tell you something about the fun of chasing a tennis ball, or I may tell you something profound about myself, or even life in general. You decided to have me in your life because you wanted a soul to share such things with. Someone very different from you, and here I am. I am a dog, but I am alive. I feel emotion, I feel physical senses, and I can revel in the differences of our spirits and souls I do not think of you as a 'Dog on two feet'. I know what you are. You are human, in all your quirkiness, and I love you still.
Now come sit with me, on the floor. Enter my world, and let time slow down if only for 15 minutes. Look deep into my eyes, and whisper to my ears Speak with your heart, with your joy and I will know your true self. We may not have tomorrow, and life is oh so very short.
Love today!
(on behalf of canines everywhere)

I don't mean to sound bitter- that is not my intent- this is a reminder to "THINK BEFORE YOU ACT'
Because of some pups/people who belong to Dogster who didn't bother to check out a request to corral
Angel Mica- Mirra and the purple girls of Oregon-**it didn't cost anything but 2 seconds of your time**
and instead contacted HQ and reported it as spam- the whole thing was shut down......so here is what you missed:
1) another Dogster (an anon. GSD) was sending money for each corral to a research group to find a cure for IMHA.
2) IMHA has claimed countless numbers of dogs and cats including some from Dogster and Catster. The rest of us who have the disease have no hope at this time because it just keeps coming back again and again until it gets you. In a years time- probably 1000 animals will die of this disease- many not even diagnosed properly. We really need a cure but even an effective treatment would be a miracle.
Sorry- I realized that this really is kinda bitter but look at it from my perspective. All I can do is hope against hope that neither you - your furblings or friends contract this disease because it truly is a death sentence.
Please take just a few minutes to read and understand what you're flagging or reporting because sometimes -it really is a matter of life or death!

Sweet Miss Molly was one of my biggest supporters when I was so sick last September & October. She posted a diary about me and didn’t even know me. She has such a kind heart and is the sweetest girl ever. Well now it’s my turn to support her in her time of need. Her mommy found a tumor on her right back leg on the tendon and well here is a post she made in the B&A Club about her vet visit.
The results are back and they are not good. It is a mast cell tumor and it is in my tendon so they can't remove it. I'm sure your mom knows about mast cell tumors. They are evil little tumors that can matastise(sp?) or not. They just do what ever the &*!! they want! I hate them, my mom hates them. I don't even know if chemo or radiation is an option. Maybe, but dad doesn't want to put me thru anything else. I've been cut open so many times and I have a heart condition under anesthetic. Mom and dad just want me to live out the rest of my life in peace, however long that may be. Is that bad of mom? I hope you don't think so. Mom is so upset. She can barely see straight right now. First Riley
and now me. What is she going to do? I just don't know.
Thanks for listening to mom rant and rave. She really is fit to be tide right now.
Lots of kisses and tail wiggles,
Miss Molly and mom
------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
BTW Riley was her older brother who just crossed over to Rainbow Bridge May 16, 2008. Only 2 weeks earlier. This family has had so much to deal with they need all of our support right now.
The Roo Crew started the thread in the forums for Miss Molly and created Molly's Candle.
It has also been 2 months ago yesterday that we lost our beloved Sammy J. That's a date I'll never forget.
We also lost two other of our sweet closest pals within 2 days apart. First on February 16, 2008 beautiful Gracie Jane our Furever Angel and then February 18, 2008 precious little Arthur furever wiggling. Then of course another special member of B&A left us on December 5, 2007. That was none other than Pebbles (our sweet angel) from The Fab Conway Sisters-EWC.
Please pass on the Power of the Paw to all our dear friends and their family's.

My dear sweet girlfriend Tinker Belle NPC and one of my dearest friends Meemo eloped tonight while we were in our group B&A Club.
Tink & Meemo had a jet ready which we boarded and none other Than John Travolta was the pilot. Mommy decided we needed a chaperon since he was the pilot and sat in the cockpit with him. Hmmmm. It was first class all the way.
I learned about many new experiences like the MHC. *blushes* so me and my hunky husband Rusty decided to join. It was a ton of fun. We had Gibby, Mia, Tucker,
Gracie Jane,
Chrissy Snow, Georgie,
Jackson, Lucy,
Shiloh, Hollidawg,
Dawson, Jezzie, Bruti, Daisy Mae, Annie, Bailey,
Bonnie, Dusty,
Ringo, Webby,
Arthur,
Damon, Rudy Patudy & Missy just to name a few. Then of course there was Duncan that met us at the airport to shuttle all of us to the hotel to our rooms.
We had a blast. Elvis [impersonater] was there also to perform the ceremony. Poor Missy was hiding in the closet with a bottle of champagne that she drank all by herself and didn't feel to well. Barf bags were provided for her convenience.
I can't give any more details except that there was coffee-mate for Tinker Belle NPC and Meemo's pleasure. Even though she is in coffee-mate rehab. Shhh! What a night we had.
Congrats Tink & Meemo! You make a great couple! I was so excited to be a part of this wedding.
News at 11:00. BOL!

The Girls of May & Contest for a Cure
Mystery ailments make our humans nervous and anxious and leave us pups perplexed in wondering why they can't make them go away at times. Well sometimes there are no simple answers or magic pills to hide in our treats. I think we have all gone through some sort of confusion and worry. Yet some to a degree that finds them crossing the Rainbow Bridge before they could seek out all their adventures here on earth. Their lives and legacies live on and it's up to us down here to champion their causes and do what we can to help solve their mysteries, we must aide in the search for cures we know could yet be discovered, given the attention and funds.
May brings woofdays for a couple special friends of mine, Angelpup Mica and her furkin Mirra. Angel Mica was taken from her family by IMHA and her humom has become a champion in the quest to find a cure and there are many, many others who have also been affected like my friend Daisy Mae but so far the cure is yet a dream. It's costly because it's not breed or gender specific, they aren't sure what triggers it, also it's not confined to a certain area of the country or part of the world.
IMHA stands for immune-mediated hemolytic anemia and for dogs with IMHA, there is no known means of prevention of the disease. That is why it's vital to raise more awareness and to support causes for a cure.
Last year there was a contest between Mica and an anon. GSD another dogster to see who could get the most pup pal requests and to be corralled the most times in a specific length of time. However they could not promote themselves on dogster but their friends could. Last year the GSD won and the money went to his cause of supporting awareness for canine blood donors.
There is another contest this year and if you aren't pals with or haven't corralled them, please for the love of DOG! (especially touched & affected by IMHA) do make their acquaintances and support what has become a personal mission to try to prevent others from experiencing their pain and loss.
This year I am advocating for Angel Mica (she must be first in request order) Mirra and The Purple Girls Of Oregon (TPGOO). There is no cost to you except a few minutes of your time, just click on their names below.
Humom and I would like to thank you for your support and concern and I know it would be the best woofday gift "The Girls of May" could ask for,...let it be a truly merry month for them!
Angel Mira
Mirra
The Purple Girls of Oregon
Thanks for the crosspost Lena Malik.

This has been a very hard evening for many of us today. We lost our precious Samuel Jacob just one month ago today. I thought it would get a little easier by now yet it hasn't. I can't even go to his page yet. I try but can't see through the tears. My heart is still shattered. I miss him terribly.
To make things even worse Rusty has not been doing well at all either. I am so worried about him and I don't know what I could do to help. He is such a loving and sweet boy. I know his mommy and little sister Missy are worried sick. Mommy has kept the candle lit for 2 days and it's still going. It was the one she used for me when I was sick. We are hoping it will work for Rusty too.
Please pray for Rusty to get better. Please pray hard.
Please pray for the Roo Crew to be able to get through their loss a little easier.

This is one of the saddest days in all of Dogster for me. I lost a huge part of my life today. I lost Samuel Jacob. He pulled me through my sickness when I thought I was dying. He gave me strength I didn’t know I had. He gave me hope I had nearly lost and he gave me spirit. Sammers had such a zest for life and such a strong will. He was and still is my HERO and Inspiration to go on living.
I met him 2 years ago. I saw ex-rays of his leg on his page. He was the first other dog I saw that had the same thing done to him that I had done. There was an immediate connection. I fell in love with him at the moment I read his diary. Mommy even became very close to his mommy. The rest is history. I don’t think a day has ever past without me or mommy was thinking of him. That will never cease. I love them all so much.
When mommy & daddy thought I was dying Sammy and his whole family were there for me and my family. His daddy even went to church and lit a candle for me. I can’t express how much that meant to mommy. I guess I didn’t really know what was going on but mommy & daddy were crying a lot.
Between my best friend Jezzie and The Roo Crew I don’t know what I would have done. They both were my lifeline.
My heart is shattered into a billion pieces. I know Sammy is no longer in pain and is watching over us all and wants us to rejoice his life and not mourn him but this is very difficult when you love somebody so much. The tears won’t stop. Sammy I love you!!
Broken hearted,
Sassy & Sally
P.S. If you are interested in being a part of the tribute to Sammy please pmail me.

Arthur I posted for your mommy but didn't get to express how I feel about you. You made me smile when I didn't think I could. You turned my sorrowful tears into happy ones. You made me laugh when I didn't think I could. You were and are the light that shines on my heart. I know you are with our dear Gracie Jane right now and you will still come and play with us to keep us in line. Our hearts are shattered losing the both of you but together you will make us whole again because that's just how you are. I love you with all my heart. Dog Bless my Bully Boy.
Arthur I'll always remember how you supported everyone and made sure all your friends knew to send them some love and well wishes. I'll always remember that everlasting body wiggle of yours. You were and are the King!
Gracie Jane I will always remember you as the dainty little girl who loved to party and make us all laugh and was constantly misplacing the Giblets. Yet still have that beautiful angelic face full of kindness and support.
Pebbles I'll always remember your big beautiful brown eyes and the way you bickered and fought with your sisters because you were always the *smart one*.
Keep those prayers coming for PRECIOUS MICHELLE who is doing well but still needs the prayers.
Prayers will always be needed for Monkey Butt, Sammy J [AKA] furbaby made of glass who inspires us all with his zest for life and strength.
Prayers for Gromit that his leg will heal without ACL surgery.
Prayers that Lucy's laser surgery does the trick for her remaining eye.
Please pray for Sheba too. She's gone a week without a seizure which is fantastic. Wishing her and her mommy solace and comfort.
Most of all pray for each other to be strong and able to survive the pain.

I Lost My Gracie Jane Yesterday
I am so sad I can’t stop the tears. I lost one of the sweetest, kindest pups and one of my dearest friends on Dogster so unexpectedly yesterday. I don’t know what to do to make it better. My sweet, precious, beautiful, caring and thoughtful Gracie Jane crossed over to the Bridge and my heart is breaking. Me and mommy have been sobbing every since we heard the horrible news. I don’t know how to feel better. She is the girl I always looked up to and wanted to be like. My heart is broken. She was always there when I needed her. In fact she was always there to make everyone feel better. I am still in shock. I pray and hope she knew how important she was to me and many others. I pray she knew how much I loved her. I mean really loved her. My heart goes out to her family, her dear friend Tinker Belle NPC and her husband Gibbon. I was told that my brother Wilson would be helping her cross over. Although that is some comfort I am still crushed. I will go to bed with a big empty void in my heart that only she could fill. I love you Gracie Jane.

Little Ole me is DOTW! WOOHOO!
January 28, 2008
Mommy got up Monday morning and went to work. When she finally opened her email it was bogging down with dogster notifications. She thought her ISP was causing her email to receive numerous emails in triplicate and more. She was a little peeved because she needed to send off some reports to meet a deadline. They were still rolling in like crazy for several minutes. Then she spotted an email from Dogster. She tried to grab it to open while the emails poured in scrolling down the screen. Wala! She caught it, opened it and yelled OMG Sassy is DOTW!
She had to explain what this is and what it means to her boss. They were all thrilled. Then mommy called me at home to let me & daddy know. I was so excited and started doing the Happy Dance all by myself. Daddy not being a Dogster doesn’t grasp it. Not the way we do anyway.
To top it off my dear friend Rascal had sent me a very kewl picture that I am using as my main photo now because today kicks off Dogster Rocks Week! Now how can you beat that. If anyone knows Dogster Rocks it is me and especially this week. I am a lucky girl. You like my kewl sneakers?
Thank you for all your pmails, congrats, stars, rosettes, extravagant gifts, pictures, emails and kind words. I love you all for making this a happy day for me. I am still working on my personal thank yous to everyone and I haven’t forgotten you.
Mrs. Rusty Roo!

Yesterday we got up and ate breakfast then off we went to have a wonderful day just for little ole me.
First we went to Pacific Grove Beach and I got to sniff everything. I encountered a squirrel again and I still wasn't interested. Daddy was stressed because he was afraid it would bite me so he shooshed it off. Mommy was taking pictures following us but I made sure she was close behind. She made daddy set me up on a big rock with leaves to take a nice picture. I would like to add I looked very pretty but then again according to them I always do. Who am I to question them? Even when I have a bad hair day. Bol!
At one point daddy said come on you have already sniffed there so mommy had to tell him this is her walk not yours! You go mommy! Then I met a cute little Westie that was 13 years old named Chewey. His mommy loved my paws. She said it looked like I was wearing slipper scuffies. What ever those are. We sniffed one another but then I got bored. After all, he's no Rusty . Then we went to the water but I didn't want my paws wet so we left to go to Carmel Beach.
Carmel Beach was closed dog gone it. The storm we had caused the parking lot to be covered with sand and the bathrooms were flooded. WOW! Some storm.
Then we had lunch and proceeded to go to the Salinas River for sniffing. That was really fun. I got a little scared though because I tried to go up on a hill with daddy and the dirt and sand was sliding from underneath my paws but daddy got me up there just fine. There was huge paw tracks all over to and lots of good sniffing all around. Then mommy got me down the hill safely and we got in the car and came home. Home to dinner. WOOHOO!
After dinner I conked out. I was really tired. Mommy made a slide show from the shutterfly calender she made me and put it on my page while I slept. It has many pictures of my good pals in it but there wasn't enough room so all those I love so she is working on another project from shutterfly.
I heard we are going to play lots of ball tomorrow so I better stop now and go to bed. I need my beauty sleep and daddy wants to cuddle with me.
Please, please, please keep the following pups in your prayers and thoughts.
Sassy Girl
Sammy,
Lucy,
Arthur,
Daisy Mae,
Riley and all the other pups that need us.
Be safe and healthy my darlin's because I love you all!

First of all we will start by thanking Bambi for designing Rusty & Sassy’s Wedding Page. It is such a beautiful page. Thank you my dear friend. You have always been there for us.
We want to thank The Roo Crew for moderating Our Wedding Group Page and for all the hard work you put into it.
Thank you "Anonymous" by your request, for making all the wedding and reception pictures. Everything was so perfect.
We had a very elegant formal wedding at 11:00 am Saturday morning.
My dear friend Bruti gave me the honor of walking me down the aisle. My best friend Jezzie was my Maid of Honor and George Underwood was Rusty's best man. The Bridesmaids were Missy, Daisy Mae CGC-EWC, Bernieand Lucy. The Groomsmen were Shiloh, SammyJ, Rudy, and Mickey. Mickey was also our Usher. The beautiful Flower girls were none other than River and Annie. Dusty was the Ring Bearer and his brother Ringo was our Justice of the Peace. I might add he did a superb job. He has everyone in tears. The Master of Ceremony's was none other than Boomer – Forever Loved Angel. We also had two more Fur Angels that helped out tremendously keeping the puppies in control. Not planned but definitely needed and appreciated. They were Rosie-In Loving Memory and Nelson-Sprinkler Dog In Heaven. Thank you so much. We forget how playful puppies can be.
We were pronounced husband and wife at 11:44 am. The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was great! Hearsay is that my Angel brother Wilson was hovering over us because spots and rain were seen over the reception. Thank you Wilson. You made it complete.
We left the reception in a horse drawn Carriage to the airport for our Honeymoon destination to the Château-de-Bagnols in the France Alps. We will be back next week.
Just a word of advice. Never ever leave your loved ones or friends without telling them how much you love them. You'll never be sorry. Live each day as though it's your last because you just never know.

The good is I am alive and still kicking.
The bad is I almost wasn't.
The best is I am here to write this diary and am looking forward to more time with those I love most which are my parents and my Dogster friends. Brothers and sisters by choice is what I call them.
Highlights of the best is that my dear friend Samuel Jacob, my husband Rusty and I all survived 2007 and it was really not expected for any of us. It's been a rocky road but with the support of each other we made it through. We are most definitely miracle pups.
There was one final thing that just topped my year to make it the best ever. December 29th I was married to the most handsome guy ever. Of course that was to Rusty .
First of all I will start by thanking Bambi for designing Rusty & Sassy’s Wedding Page. It is such a beautiful page. Thank you my dear friend. You have always been there for me.
I want to thank The Roo Crew for moderating My Wedding Group Page and for all the hard work you put into it.
Thank you "Anonymous" by your request, for making all the wedding and reception pictures. Everything was so perfect.
We had a very elegant formal wedding at 11:00 am Saturday morning.
My dear friend Bruti gave me the honor of walking me down the aisle.My best friend Jezzie was my Maid of Honor and George Underwood was Rusty's best man. The Bridesmaids were Missy, Daisy Mae CGC-EWC, Bernieand Lucy. The Groomsmen were Shiloh, SammyJ, Rudy, and Mickey. Mickey was also our Usher. The beautiful Flower girls were none other than River and Annie. Dusty was the Ring Bearer and his brother Ringo was our Justice of the Peace. I might add he did a superb job. He has everyone in tears. The Master of Ceremony's was none other than Boomer – Forever Loved Angel. We also had two more Fur Angels that helped out tremendously keeping the puppies in control. Not planned but definitely needed and appreciated. They were Rosie-In Loving Memory and Nelson-Sprinkler Dog In Heaven. Thank you so much. I forget how playful puppies can be.
I was also very happy to see my brother Cletis and my sisters SUGAR DANIELLE, SPECIAL DAWN and PRECIOUS MICHELLE were able to make it after all.
We were pronounced husband and wife at 11:44 am. The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was great! Hearsay is that my Angel brother Wilson was hovering over us because spots and rain were spotted over the reception. Thank you Wilson. You made it complete.
Rusty and I left the reception in a horse drawn Carriage to the airport for our Honeymoon destination to the Château-de-Bagnols in the France Alps. We will be back next week.
Just a word of advice. Never ever leave your loved ones or friends without telling them how much you love them. You'll never be sorry. Live each day as though it's your last.
Sweet Dreams and I love you all.

*Rusty spins Sassy*
*While Sassy is spinning, Rusty gets down on one knee*
My beautiful Sassafras, I love you. Will you make me the happiest dog in all of Dogster Land . May I have your paw in marriage?
I missed the post until everyone kept posting waiting on Sassy's answer. I had to go back many, many pages to see what they were talking about.
When I found out I said yes about a dozen times.

This is very difficult to write. For 2 days the tears have been flowing. I loved Wilson so much. But he did know how much I loved him. Even though he was older than me he was like my baby brother. He acted like a little boy and I will treasure him for as long as I shall live.
I had received a pmail from him at 10:01 am on 11//23/07. Unfortunately I didn't turn on the computer soon enough. This is what he wrote to me that morning.
Yesterday for Thanksgiving I was Thankful for lots of stuff. And one thing was you. I remember that I had hives reel bad and you sent my Mama an email and told her what to do.
She was only gonna gib me a lil of that stuff, I neber would have gotten better. You saved me from some misery .
Thanks. Sassy !.
Ruv Wilson
*Runs reel reel fast so she doesn't eben think about kissin him*
If you knew Wilson you would know he was always running from girls not to get cooties because I started kissing him the day we met. I knew he liked it but pretended not to. This was a game we started from day one. He also had a super soaker gun that he used to go by the girls' pages to squirt them with. He squirted the girls he liked. He was always getting into trouble and making messes where ever he went. That was just Wilson. That was his charm.
Later that day at 3:oo pm he went to the vet and his parents helped him cross to the Bridge. He had a rare bone cancer and his shoulder had really been bothering him a lot for 6 months. We thought it was arthritis but it wasn't. His parents had a difficult choice to make and made the compassionate one. I am so sorry I didn't turn the computer on sooner to answer his pmail.
He was right there for me when I was so sick as he was for everyone. He found out that I was completely shaved down to the skin after my stitches were removed so he mailed me some beautiful powder blue pajamas so I wouldn't get cold and nobody would see me nekked. Ha Ha! Cletis
his brother told me prior to receiving this package that Wilson was so excited about something he was sending me. He was even using his mom's tape that he wasn't supposed to use. He was a diamond in the ruff. BOL! [ruff]
I LOVE YOU WILSON WITH ALL MY HEART!

It is my extreme pleasure to announce the marriage of Samuel Jacob
and Sadie Lee. They exchanged nuptials this evening November 16, 2007 and they became husband and wife at 8:30 pm Dogster time. What a night to remember. The groom whisked the bride away for their much needed honeymoon and I have no doubt will be a very happily married couple. I was honored to have them ask me to perform the ceremony.
I would like to add that my "Main Squeeze" Rusty and I were waiting to wed after Sammy & Sadie. WOOHOO! I am next. This makes all my dreams come true.
Tomorrow my girlfriend Trudy, Queen of Snoops and her fiancé Eddie Essig are to be married.
I'd like to add to please say prayers for my friends that are very ill. Poor sweet Sassy and ♥Bail- ey♥ who has the "C" word. They need all the support we can give them.

This diary entry is dedicated to a very special friend of mine Lena Malik and a very special pal that has been lost for 6 months named BLUE ***MISSING***.
I know how I would feel if I were lost and couldn't find my way back home. I know how my mommy & daddy would feel. I think all our lives would be unbearable but I do know they would never, never give up on me. No stone would be left unturned. We all would be dieing a slow death from the inside out but we would always hold on to a glimmer of hope for my return. Without hope we would have nothing at all.
I can only imagine the fear and devastation BLUE and his family go through every second of every day. The not knowing if he will ever find his way home. This is why BLUE and his family need us more than ever. We need to be their strength when they have none left. Be there eyes and ears when they need to rest. We brought Teddi Sue and Cheyenne home as a group. We can do this for BLUE and his family too. Don’t give up on him because if you give up on him you’ll be giving up on all of us. From my heart to yours ........ Sassy
From Lena's diary.
BLUE will have been missing for half a year coming this 8th of November, it is a somber anniversary but his fate isn't written in stone and I refuse to give up in mind body and spirit.
I am my hu-mom's BLUE, her beloved companion and if I went missing I would pray she and our friends would continue to have hope and wear determination like a badge for love and compassion's sake.
This is the information I wholeheartedly share and hope will be passed along:
Blue, a black and white Siberian Husky (4 year old male, brown eyes, microchipped) has been missing since May 8, 2007 from Brighton, MI.
Dogster page: BLUE ***MISSING***

E-mail: inform@whereisblue.com
Telephone: (313) 550-6095
Reward offered for his return, no questions asked.
Permission and gratitude for cross posting. Thank you!

IT IS HALLOWEEN TAG!!!!
I was tagged by Jasmine The Beauty Princess, Duncan, Harley, Princess, Paxton, Roxy, Brandon Lee Elroy, Zelda Marie, Hildy-became an Angel 4/21/07, Roscoe P Cole Train, Bonzer –the wonder dog, Junebug and my dear sweet Annie.
(I hope I didn't leave anyone out.)
Here are the rules:
Each player needs to tell seven random facts about themselves. Tagged dogs must post the rules in their diary and their 7 facts. Then choose 7 pups to tag and list their names. Let them know by pawmail or rosette that they have been tagged and to read your diary for the instructions on how to play
1. I love mommy and daddy the most. I love playing ball. Especially with my daddy. Mommy needs some major throwing practice but she will do in a pinch. Hide and go seek is real fun too because daddy is a really good hider.
2. Mommy takes me with her now when she goes to the shelter, SPCA and Animal Friends Rescue to drop off blankets, food, dog and cat dishes, toys, treats and whatever their current needs are. I know they like me there because they make over me and pets me and the girl I like best always gives me kisses at the SPCA. I like going.
3. Mommy sings to me every night at bedtime while she gives me belly rubs and butt scratches. I also get a nightly massage and raspberry kisses on my tummy.
4. I love going for long walks on the beach. Smelling everything and peeing everywhere. My favorite beaches are Pacific Grove and Carmel. I saw my first squirrel a couple of months ago because it came right up to me and my parents scared it away but it kept coming back. I don’t see the big deal with squirrels. I mean when you have all that ice plant to smell why bother a squirrel?
5. I sit on the back of the couch in the window waiting for mommy to come home from work. Since the living room drapes are always drawn I just stick my head between the drapes and you can only see my head.
6. When I get excited and happy I can wiggle so hard that I fall over sometimes. I also wiggle so hard that I walk sideways to mommy and daddy and I am in a U shape. BOL!
7. I have the best friends ever here on Dogster and mommy’s best friends are Dogster parents.
The seven pups that I choose and in no particular order are:
Virgie
Miss Molly
Sky
Coco Chanel
PEEK-A-BOO
Ringo
Wilson
Portos 19/1/95 – 13/07/07
Cocoa
Dale Bo
Griffen
Jerry & Linda
"Lucky" Lucy
I tagged 13 pals because the number 13 is significant with Halloween! Bwah ha ha!
Have fun pups and Happy Howloween!!!!!!!

My heart fell to my paws earlier today when I was told The Cali Crew had lost everything. Don't worry is was a miscommunication. Thank Dog. Phew, scary!
We all have many Dogster pals in that area and we must all pray for their safety. We need to have every animal and person near there in our thoughts. This is such a scary and horrible thing they are going through. So many homes burnt away to nothing but ashes. Land charred beyond belief. Blackened sky's. Air so full of smoke that it's difficult to breath. Fear in everyone's hearts not to mention people losing everything. I am amazed only 2 people have perished in such a huge fire. Please remember all the wildlife that is perishing as well. Keep your hearts and arms open for those that need our help.
Thought for the day .......... Be thankful that we have a home to go to with our family's.

I got my stitches out yesterday. WooHoo! No more lampshade on my head either. I can scratch and lick anything I want. As soon as I walked out the door of the hospital my daddy took me for a walk. Without the contraption on my head I was able to sniff everything really good because I got my nose really close to the flowers, bushes, trees and other doggy smells. It was great! Then mommy came out and we got in the car to come home. I sat in mommy’s lap all the way home with my head out the window breathing the brisk air and sniffing everything my little nose could. It was heavenly!
When we got home my parents told me to go get the ball so we could play catch and fetch in the back yard. First my mommy threw the tennis ball and I ran as fast as I could to get it and bring it back. Then it was daddy’s turn while mommy cooked my dinner.
I rolled in the dirt and sand and didn’t even get in trouble. Daddy even took my ramp to the bed away because I am finally allowed to run and jump. I still have my step at the end of the bed because I’m not a tall girl and they don’t want me to injure myself.
Now it’s bedtime. This is my very favorite time of day. I squish in between |
