Arrival Story:
It's a very long story. Have you seen the Jim Carey movie "Cable Guy"? .................................. ............ Mom had just bought a new house and was having the cable put in by the cable guy and his wife. They had just gotten this precious puppy a month previously, but found that they couldn't keep up with him and their 18 month old son too. .................................. .................. Soooo, they saw Mom's big yard, asked if she had a dog (no she didn't) and decided they had the perfect housewarming gift - their now unwanted puppy. Mom said yes, and the rest is history. _____________________________ I have two emotional trigger words: "bathtime" - this is a sad and depressing word, certain to wipe off my smile> .....................>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "squirrel" - instant ecstactic quivering joy

Bio:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MacNeal has moved on past his old age and pain on March 5, 2010. I have had dogs throughout my lifetime, but none touched my heart the way he did. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mac was a gentle soul with the fine white hair of an angel, a tranquil and steadying presence, and a sweet, delicate manner that charmed every one who met him throughout his long and happy life. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On his last day we visited with his groomer, the nurses and his vet who have helped to care for him all these years, and the family who loved him. Every one was devastated to have to say goodbye and we all cried at our loss of this brave and kind dog. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The staff at the vet clinic asked to keep his collar so they could hang by their board - his monthly visit will be missed by many of them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rest in Peace MacNeal - you are loved even though you are gone.

My Cat:
My Cat - Cerulean - came to live with us when I was only a few months old. I did not like her. She hissed at me, and thought she could hang out on Mom's lap anytime she wanted! One day we were playing chase and I pinned her to the ground. Then she squeaked! Well, when I found out she could squeak I decided that was pretty cool. Since then we have been great pals. Just before Valentine's day she got real sick and Mom said we had to let her go to a better place where she would never be sick again. I was really lonely. I missed her a lot. So, Mom decided to get a puppy just like me to be my new friend. His name is Georgie, and I'm not sure I like him that much - he always wants to play. But he seems to be getting better at not annoying me. It just may work out!
