Goodbyes

Byes are never good!!
I don't know what happened, but I was a very sick little furboy since May this year. I was diagnosed with the hepatocutaneous syndrome...liver problem..
There is no roots or cause for it, it just happenned.
Mummy and Daddy and the vets tried everything to make me better: supplements, vitamins, Omega..high quality protein food, eggs..woof I mean everything.
I did get better, so we all thought. My skin on my paws was smoother, I had more energy to run around the house with Cooper, and growl at him woof woof..and I was sunbathing again..
Then a few weeks ago my condition worsen, we tried more stuff to put on me. Then I lost my appetite, so as a last ditch to make me better, Mummy and Daddy took me to the emergency right away, and I had a blood transfusion, they rehydrate me with an IV fluid, and gave a me a little pill to make me want to eat. Mummy & Daddy took me home the next night. But I still didn't want to eat, not even my favourite Icecream and yogurt. Mummy was up with me all night, rocking me in her arms so I could feel better. Then she promised that if I didn't feel better the next day ..she will let me go to Rainbow Bridge so that I won't suffer anymore..and I see tears flowing down her face as she promised me.
I'm glad she kept her promise. I was in her arms when I made my passage to Rainbow Bridge... I look back and saw Mummy and Daddy crying... I know Mummy will always love me because I will always love her.
I can see Peppee... and I don't feel pain, I'm full of energy like Peppee...
Don't worry Mummy, one day you will see me again...

Catching up

wow!..mummy said she's been so busy that she hadn't time to help us write in our diary for eons...
It's been like...almost 2 years!!!!

Well alot has happened in our household...last winter we had so much snow that the ceiling & the new roof got damaged. But we had that fixed..

Earlier this year mummy's friend came over to take care of us for 1 week .. mummy & daddy took a short little vacation in Las Vegas..woohoo!!! They met with uncle Charlie & auntie Sharon...
Mummy was very happy.

The other exciting thing was...in June nana & Grandpa came over for a visit all the way from Australia. They stayed for 4 weeks...and boy were we spoilt by them...

Nanna made us food and treats..and that was so much fun.
But we were all very sad when they went home.

I think mummy was very sad.

Well, Fall is coming...the weather is getting colder now, so I don't galavanting outside anymore...I just go do my biz and coming back inside...

Well that's it from me right now. Big thank you's to all of my friends who have been sending me gifts...mummy promised to help me return the favour ... soon....
Take care..

Woof Woof!

Spring....I think..??

Spring is in the air..for us northern hemispherers...can you smell it??
Can you? Can you???

Cooper & I thought it was Spring.. the little green shoots in mommy's garden sprung up through the dirt...and they smell oh sooooo nice....
Arrooooo

We saw the pool finally, the snow melted, and there it was...the pool hidden during the long winter...

Then suddenly, yesterday it started to snow, and snow and snow....and it wouldn't stop....Every time we went outside.. we came back as snow doggies....where did Mr. Sun go??? it's back to Winter again?? Daddy said.."winter pas fini encore"...what does that mean?? the plants woke up at the wrong time?? Cooper & I are soooo confused....

2007

Wow it's been a while since I wrote in my diary. Woof Woof.
Happy New Year to all dogsters!!! Woof Woof Arroooo...

Daddy's mommy passed on at the end of last year, 31 December to be exact. So Daddy and mommy have been busy running around organising grandma's farewell, and thank you's to everyone.

It was very sad. We knew they were sad, so my brothers and I were very good, and quiet.

Now, everything seems to be back to normal. Except for that ...Mommy has enrolled in some courses, and she is "pulling her hair out" studying...woof woof...

And we finally got snow!!! Cooper & I rolled in the snow everychance we get...

Oh well that's the concised news form I have....

Again happy New Year..and thank you Dogster HQ giving me rosette on my birthday..woof woof

Begnin

phew!
Mommy took me to the vet to have my little lump checked out.
Mommy said I was such a good boy because I didn't yelp when the vet stuck the needle into me. I saw Mommy's face, I was telepathically telling her that it doesn't hurt really. I think she was taking the pain for me woof woof.
The vet took a sample and tested it, and she sent it out to be tested more thoroughly...and the prognosis is.... everything is begnin...no worries...
Mommy was elated, and she hugged me so hard.

Cooper was happy for me too.

We pranced around the living for a good 10 minutes...Daddy said we're all mad ...hehehehe...

Our Family

Since I am the alpha pooch, I thought I should start telling you about our family. My brothers Felix, Cooper, Peppee-In loving memory, Amadeus, and Salem will continue the story.
It was towards the end of Winter 1999/2000 when I was lying in my glass cubicle, stretched out, trying to reach for my toy ball... when this human locked eyes with me. She didn't even looked at the other puppies. She had a pleasant smile and her eyes sparkled. I figure, if I look cute she'll atleast want to hold me. Then her man came, they pointed at me, I saw her head nodded... and I was taken out of my cubicle, dry washed, and had a brand new bandana tied around my neck.
She hugged me, and kissed my head. Oohh she loves me. She bought a doggie bed, a doggie carry-bag ( that would fit 5 of me in there woof woof).
But I didn't go home with her alone, this little Siamese kitten also came for the ride.
When we got home, I got very scared. My new Mommy tried to coax me to come to her, but I couldn't move, I stood still at the corner at the door way.
She came over and picked me up, whispered to me how I would be fine, and that I'm her baby. I get to sleep on the bed with Mommy & Daddy every night. But 3 days after being home, the fourth morning I couldn't stand up. I was weak. Mommy called me to come to her, I tried and fell over, she fussed over me, then started to cry. Then she called Daddy, and then I was brought back to the pet shop..and transferred to the vet. they shaved my front paw, fed me drips, I was better and playing up. But I was also wondering if Mommy will still have me or not...and then there she was arms open wide and all happy to see me. Since then I've been spoilt poilt pup..deservingly so woof woof.
Oh yes, at first she called me Snugglepot, because I wuv to snuggle up next to her. Then she decided to call me Rufus, but changed her mind again. Finally, she decided that I should be called Oscar (the messy one from the show "The Odd Couples").
I will let Felix continu the story of our family. He's the Siamese kitten that came home with me.

Windy week end

Poor Mommy, she was sick on the wek end.
We tried to be good and quiet for her but it was so hard.
By Sunday, Mommy got better, and the wind also got stronger.
It made so much noise, and so I barked and barked at every little sound.
I think it (my barking that is) drove Mommy crazy. She had to scream out "enough" a few times. But then she picked me up and cuddled me to make me feel better, and so I stopped barking.
What a week end.

Going to the vet

I'm a bit worried, but I think Mommy is more worried.
I have this little mass/scab/lump thingy near my hip. It is only the size of half a pea. At first, mommy thought it was a scab..since I go running about and could have scratched myself...or it could have been from rough playing with my kitty brothers. Anyway, she scratched it off the first time. It wasn't too bad, didn't hurt at all.
But then a few weeks after it came back. This time, Mommy scratched it off again, and she said it looks like a "zit" whatever that is...and now it's back again.
She's making an appointment for me to see the Vet. to check it out.

Next door's party

It was midnight on Saturday Sept 16, and Oliver, the boy next door, was still partying with his friends.
They were so noisy. It was frightening. I kept barking every time they make some sort of noise. Mommy & Daddy kept leaping out of bed and looked through their windows to make sure Daddy's car was OK.
You know... kids will be kids ...
I was glad Cooper was beside me all the time.
