Tonight

Tonight, we are going to help Ms. Linda, the owner of the Franklin Pet Cemetery. She has a bunch of kittens she rescued, and 2 adult cats (spayed and neutered) that need some help tonight. Linda is going home, so Mom said we would stay there at the cemetery with the kitties in the house there. We are all worried some kids might come there because it is Halloween. So, maybe, because it is Halloween, I might be able to see Bernadette or Sammy? Or even Kody, Grizzly or my ASTRO!

Mommy isn't afraid of the cemetery, because she knows only wonderful pets are buried there, and there is no reason to be afraid of them.

Ms. Sally, Sassy's Mommy, called Mom last night. Mr. Jim is doing o.k., but is getting a little cranky and wants to come home. AND, Ms. Sassy is really peeved at her Mommy for coming home from the hospital with her Daddy's smell on her, but no DADDY! So, paws together so he can come home soon! Always prayers for that family.

Well, I sure hope you all have a wonderful Halloween. Ours will be quiet, but filled with hope.

I'm not afraid of ghosts any more. Especially if it is my brother or sister!

Dadgum puppy gone.

Today was a VERY long day.
We went to Berkeley and took that puppy to the Milo Foundation so she could be adopted by the right family.

She was just too much for us. Daddy was so sad, but knew it was right for me.

Thank you, everypup that sent me a rosette full of love. You are such wonderful pals.

But, even though Daddy wanted me to give her a chance, I wanted only my Bernadette & Sammy. Right now, no other will do.

In time, maybe. But not yet.
Love you all!

I met part of the FUN LOVING FAMILY!!!!

I got to meet the FUN LOVING FAMILY, and OH BOY are they fun loving!! WOW!

First I met "Octopus" and Beatrix's Daddy, and their human children. Well, I barked my fool head off, but finally decided I could lie down and be safe. They were so very nice, and Mommy was so happy to finally meet them!

She got to meet efuryone before I did and she fell in love with each of them! The twins, Honey & Cinnamon, didn't come, but we met Grandma Suzy, Johnny, Baby Charlie and BEATRIX!! Mommy was so excited, she even forgot to offer them something to drink! I am embarrassed for her!! Gosh, no manners at all, huh?

Wow, is Beatrix a riot! She is funny, cute, and full of kisses!

But I got scared when I saw them... I didn't have my brother or sister to tell me it was o.k. I ran behind the chair and tried to hide, but they found me, and tried to say hello. I wasn't so sure, though.

Then Beatrix RAN up to say hello to the kitties, so Johnny & Baby followed! They are so much FUN! Just like their names say!
Grandma Suzy didn't join in that fun.

Beatrix found some good stinks in our yard and did some good exploring. Johnny & Baby stayed pretty close to their humans. I watched through the sliding glass door, quietly.

Did any of you know that "Octopus" has the prettiest blue eyes ever? And then she leaves me a gift! A beautiful cookie jar!!! Oh, it is so pretty!

This was the very first time I have ever met any Dogster! Mommy had a great time. I'm just asleep... dreaming of Baby's long legs and Johnny's top-knot!

Oh, and Grandma Suzy is just as REGAL as she says she is! I had to bow to her elegance!

Thank you so much, FUN LOVING FAMILY!! I only wish you could have met Sammy & Bernadette. They would have been better representatives of our family.

Love you all!

My eyes and the rottenpuppy

I went to my appointment yesterday, and the news is good! The high reading on my eye was a false reading! My eyes are FINE! Mommy really liked this vet, too! He was very thorough and nice to me! Not that Doc K isn't, though! HE looked into them with a machine, and put a weird lens on them to see a part he couldn't see anyways. He said my eyes were prefect, so far! My pressures we even on both eyes, and only 14.5. HE said that if my eye lid was held up when they took the reading, it could cause a false positive. And it was a tech that took the measurement. Mom is just thrilled it was wrong! :-)))))

We have to travel into Berkeley this weekend to take our foster puppy to the Milo Foundation. While Mom and I have been at Auntie Alison's, he had this puppy sleeping in the BED with him!

I'm not happy about that at ALL!:(
So Mom will have to leave Auntie's early to take care of the puppy.
Wanna see her?
Foster Puppy

I HATE her. She bites, and I'm scared of her.

I love you all!
Mickey.

A very sad buggy.

We are going to Auntie Alisons for the week. Leaving in about 2 hours.

We have a foster puppy. She is in the house, in the laundry room. I hate her.

Daddy wants to keep her. Mommy said it was up to me. I want her to disappear.

She is a very good puppy, and "cute", too, but I am reverting to a very shy dog, even more than when Bernie first left us.

I won't be updating my diary until the end of the week. Going to the Opthomologist for my Glaucoma tomorrow afternoon.

Mom hopes seeing Shelby & Ginger will make me a happy puppy again.

I don't know. I'm just sad.

Specialist

The soonest I could get into the specialist in Stockton was Tuesday at 2:00 pm.

I will be going to www.villagevetstockton.com

I refused to go on my walk this morning. Mom made me. She even carried me out of the door...

I trembled so much at the doctor yesterday, I might be sore.

I miss my brother and sister.

I'm sad.

Glaucoma...

Well, Mom took me to the doctor to have my checked out. She has been worried since the middle of August about my eye.
The doc looked at me and shined a light in my eye, and he said it was perfect. Nothing looked inflamed. He looked above me and said it was every so very slightly larger on the right, but you really have to look to see it.

He suggested a test for the eye pressure, just to be on the safe side, cause we Roo pups tend to have problems.

Well, they did it. My left eye was 15. My right was 28. Doc was very surprised, I think. He said they like the number to be about 20.

I am going to be going to a great specialist, but Mom has to wait until tomorrow to call.

Doc said we caught this VERY VERY early. And early is good.

I weighed 32.5 pounds... :-

About getting a sibling... he suggests we wait a couple of months. He said, after seeing us, that it is probably too soon. We agree.

I'm still going with Mom to Auntie Alisons next week, though! I can't wait to see my Ginger and Shelby! AND Auntie Alison!

Maybe Bernadette with be there, too? I sure hope so! Maybe Sammy TOO!!??

The wind...

When my Sammy left, it was so windy. Everyone knew Sammy must have been flying all over the place with his new freedom. And we took solace in the fact he was free from his broken body.

It is windy today, but now I'm scared. No one is here to tell me it's o.k. Mommy & Daddy do, but I don't understand. Sammy was the first to tell me what to be afraid of, and then Bernie would tell me I was a silly little dog when I was skittish...

Mommy tries to tell me it is you, Bernie. But I can't see you. I can't feel you any more. I can't smell you, my best friend. I am alone in this world with no one to really trust. As much as I love and adore my Mommy, deep down, I can't really trust humans. Daddy is trying so hard. Too hard. It makes me even more afraid.

As soon as I see another dog, I relax. But Mom & Dad aren't near ready to adopt again. Maybe I'm not either. I need to grieve. I need to know I will not be totally alone. But for now, the pain and loneliness grows.

New memories are too full of pain. Filled with fear and uncertainty. Please, if I'm a very good boy, will one of you come back to me? Please?

I miss my furblings....

Hi, Pups...

I'm still here. Mommy is trying really hard to take good care of me. She took me in the car this morning to the store then to the cemetery to relight the candles out there. Then she took me to Wash N Wag. I got a bath.:-/ I guess cousin Ginger, my beloved Phantom and I got fleas out there. So Phantom came with me to make me be brave. It worked, and I'm clean as a whistle.

Then Mom took me to get Dad from work and we went to Applegate park and had lunch. Daddy, in his suit, ran after red squirrels with me! I was soo happy!

But now I'm home again, and I looked for my sister when we came in. I know she is gone, but I still hope to see her. I just lay on my bed and wait.

Mommy moved Bernadette's necklace (and cried on it) and I heard it! I thought she was back, and I was looking all over the place for her. My tail is down now. My ears are back. I want my brother and sister back so bad.

I love you all. Praying for Mr. Jim. We don't know what is happening, but our prayers never end.

The Roo Crew page won't be used very often now. Mom is going to try to make a photo of Kody, Griz, Sammy & Bernadette all with halos and wings. She can't do it yet, but in time.

So, until I peek back in. I love you!

I killed another one....

On Saturday, we were in the back yard, having a blast, when Mom was inside. She came back out and I was laying under Sammy's big-big tree, smiling at her. As she got closer, she saw I had something in between my paws, and asked me what it was....

It was a big ol' gopher!!! I stood up to show her, but he was all wet and dead. I killed him, but I didn't eat him!

Bernadette came over to get a bite on him, but I told her NO! Mom said the same thing, so I was happy I didn't have to give up my new prize!

Then she called Daddy. "David", she yelled, "Mickey has something he needs to give to you!"

Daddy just walked over slowly, and I had my tail curled over my back, ears up, looking at my new toy. "look Daddy! Isn't it cool!?"

Daddy cheered for me being such a good boy and not eating him, and told me I was so smart and quick! Then he took my toy and threw it in the GARBAGE!!! WHAT???? My toy!

Oh boy, that is the LAST time I show Mom!
