Good Bye!

It is with a sadden heart, that Kelly was put to rest last Monday. It became very hard for her to move around anymore due to the vertebrae in her back fusing, which caused her back legs to become very weak. She stated experiencing alot of pain for the past month, and with the weakness she developed it became very hard for her to function. It became very hard for her to walk and eat. Plus she did not have much quality of life.

So.....good-by our sweet Kelly. May you now run in the fields chasing those cows you so loved to chase and run in the fields just because you felt like it. You now have no pain and are young again. You have been a good friend to us, in both good times and bad, and welcomed everyone one that came into our house. We will ALWAYS love you and will miss you everyday. Geoff and Maggy will miss you so much also.

It's So Hot!

Man, I really wish it wasn't so hot. This hot weather really doesn't agree with me. All I want to do is sleep in front of Michaels room where there is some cool air coming from it. It helps me sleep better, but I know Mom worries about me cause I'm sleeping so much lately. I just don't feel like getting up and going outside, or eating very much. Hopefully it will cool down some and then I'll start to feel like my normal self.

My Check Up

Mom and Dad had to take me back to the vet yesterday cause when I was in there on Thursday Dr. Ellis wasn't told I was there for my bath and that he needed to check on some things that was going on. So, he called Mom yesterday morning and Mom and Dad took me back in. I've been doing alot of scratching along me left ear, so he thinks it might be allergies. So he gave Mom some ear drops to put in my ear. And then Mom noticed I had some new lumps around my jaw/neck area. Dr. Ellis checked on those too and said they were nothing but cysts. And then Dr. Ellis also ran some blood work on me. You will never guess what he said about that!! He said for someone MY age I'm actually in pretty good health. Boy did that ever relieve Mom!! She worries about me so much. but I guess its better to have someone worry about you then not....right? I love her so much and my mom loves me too!!

Home At Last

Today I was so excited! I got to go riding in the car with Mom when she went into work. I was really a good girl too. Usually riding in the car makes me nervous, but today I just layed down and so quiet I know Mom was wondering if everything was ok. Then I seen where we were at! The dreaded vet office. Now, that is one place I really don't like going to. When Mom takes me in as early as she usually does, I know I'm going to be there all day....and sure enough...I was. But, I was so glad to see Mom when she came and picked me up. I was even a good girl on our way home. Mom kept asking me if I was doing ok....which OF COURSE....I was. But, when we got home, boy was a really unsteady on my feet. It really worries Mom when I'm like that. Today was just not one of my better days. So now I'm going to find my special spot on the floor and take a nice longgggg nap. Bye.

Now What??

Last night after Mom got home from work, she went kind of crazy. First she grabbed Maggy and put her in the sink for another bath. But, I stayed out of the way. I didn't want Mom to get any ideas about putting me in that sink....like I could fit in anyway. When she got done with Maggy, she grabbed Geoffrey. Boy, he didn't like that very well either. He tried to hide from Mom (lol).....guess what...it didn't work!!! (HEEEE) She got done with him and then started sprinkling some stuff all over the carpet, pulling Geoff and Maggy's rooms out and putting that stuff around their rooms. Then, on top of that....she got out the broom! Boy, did she have a dust storm going in the house. Me, I got the heck out of the livingroom. I headed for Michael's room...where I knew I would be safe. Then just as I thought it would be safe to come out....out came that vaccuum. Man........I hate that thing!! Mom always makes me move from my sleeping spot when she drags that darn thing out. I sure wish it would blow up or something. Maybe I wouldn't have to listen to that noise anymore......but then again.......maybe not!!

Rainy Days

Yesterday we really had a big storm. I wasn't afraid but Maggy sure was and Geoff was a little I think. Not me...I'm a big girl. When all that racket was going on outside I just layed there on my nice comfortable pillow and slept right through it. And then when Mom said it was time to go to bed, she put us all outside once more. When I came back in, I went straight to my bed in her room and crawled up on my pillow and went right back to sleep. Nothing really excites me anymore. I remember a time when storms kind of made me nervous, but not no more. I love the sound of the rain coming down...it makes me sooooo sleeepppyy....zzzzzzz

Home again

Well Mom and Dad had to leave for a while and they took Geoff and Maggy with them. It's so quiet around here when they're gone, but I wish sometimes Mom would take me along. I know why she doesn't though. I just can't really get comfortable riding any more and it kind of makes me nervous. But, occassionally she does take me somewhere. Sometimes she'll take me to the vet's office so I can get a nice relaxing bath. Then I come home and am so tired all I want to do is sleep. But really staying home doesn't bother me all that much. There are times I really want to go, but know Mom only thinks of what's best for me cause she loves me. So I'll just stay home and take care of things here for her. That way I know I'm helping her out.

Lazy Days

I was really happy to see Mom and Dad walk through that door tonight. And really glad Mom let me outside before she let those two maniacs out of their rooms. They get so excited all the time and sometimes (actually most times) it makes me nervous cause they usually end up tripping me. But, I try to be good natured about the whole thing cause they're just excited to see her and I am....I just can't jump around like they can. But I do greet Mom at the door and wag my tail the best that I can.

Well, tonight Mom and Dad had to leave me at home for awhile. They had to go into town and I think they must have went out for dinner afterwards cause I can smell something different. They let me outside adn now I'm inside. As soon as I get done with this I think I'm going to head for bed. Nite everyone

What a day!

Today when Mom came home, I was the first one she let outside! Boy, that makes me so happy. That way I don't have to fight my way to the door. Sometimes Maggy and Geoff can get so rambunkes it drives me nuts. And then with me not really being very steady on my feet, sometimes they nock me down. So whenever Mom lets me out first....I couldn't be more happier.

Today was really hot here. I don't handle the heat like I used to. So Mom is keeping me inside as much as possible. And as long as Maggy and Geoff stay out of my face, that makes me even more happier.
