A MESSAGE FROM MOMMY & DADDY...

As many of you already know, Chancey passed away on 1/12/07. He was playing with Tinker, they got a little out of hand, and she appearantly cracked a couple of ribs. This let to a lung laceration. He was doing ok for the first 2 days and we thought with lots of rest and confinement he'd pull through. That was not the case. He took a turn for the worse on Friday and we had to let him go.

It is so very sad to not have our "kids" with us, but it is the kind and humane actions of quality versus quantity that define our humanity. It is our devotion, love and ability to realize our selflessness that help us to endure the hardships of loss.

Thank you for all your prayers and well wishes. Chancey was a wonderful little friend. We loved him deeply and miss him greatly. There aren't words to define my love for my baby boy.

The big "C"...and that is not for Chancey!

Well, today we found out I have lymphoma. Mommy is scared. Not me - I know she'll make me all better. She loves me. She has been on the puter all day researching holistic treatments and diet for me. She said no medicines for me, only good, organic and natural foods for me. Although, my cookies are goin' bye bye. I get some good ones, but not the ones I really like. She said I get to eat REAL meat and chicken. WOW! I'm happy about that. I don't feel yucky, but mom says we want to make sure I never do.

Wish me luck in my fight! If you have the big "C", then you can contact my mommy too! We all need to support each other in the fight.

My Tail of Devotion for CHANCEY

I love my Chancey. He is a joy for me daily. Chancey's gives me warmth with a cuddle, kisses my tears when I am sad, a bark when he's happy and a growl for protection. Most of all he is my friend. He has never let me down, said an unkind word, loves all my "people" friends equally and is never in a bad mood. Chancey has been with me through the best and worst times of my life. I only hope I have provided him with as much joy as he has given me.

Mom's Birds

Ok. Mom had only 1 bird and that was ok. I am afraid of him - Sunny, but I could live with him. Now, she has 2 birds and I'm terrified to go in her office now. They're noisy and the new one flies. He is "skiddish". I've tried chasing, but mom yells. What am I to do?!
