♥ Valentine *Tag You're It* ♥

My fellow pom pom pal, Pooh Bear has just tagged me! *High Paws* Thanks fur woofin' me to play, Pooh Bear! *jumping up and down, tail wagging super fast*

Here are the rules for this Valentine Tag:

Once you have been tagged, you choose five wishes for Valentine's Day and write them in a diary entry.

Then choose five of your dogster/catster pals to tag. Include their names in your Diary entry, so everyfur knows who you're tagging.

Next, let each of your five chosen pals know that you are tagging them either by pawmail, or by sending them a fun rosette. Let them know they can read the rules on how to play by reading your Diary.

Here are 5 wishes that I have for this Valentine's Day...

1. I wish that every puppy & kitty finds a loving home in time for the Valentine Holiday so they can have their own Day of Furever Love!

2. I wish that every fur pal & human pal has happiness & health and some one special to love on Valentines Day.

3. I wish that Cupid sends me lots of Valentines this year! Chocolate hearts, Kisses, Hugs, beautiful girls....I'm open!

4. I wish for more and more cheese wrapped up just for me! aww the power of cheeseeeeee

5. I wish happiness for my mommy. She deserves it. Until then she has ME! BoL and even after they go, she'll have ME! So on second thought, she doesn't need anymore happiness because she already has ME! BoL Love you, Mom xo

Five furpals that I am going to Valentine Tag!
Don't be sad if you were not tagged, please! I have many many pals and I wuv you all very much! Even if I don't get to show each one of you everyday, you're always in my thoughts and prayers. I'm just a pmail away, if you need me. There can only be five, so here they are...

1. Tia #315718~ My Sweet Angel Valentine, who crossed over to Rainbow Bridge on November 28, 2007. She will be dearly missed by her family, puppies and siblings. She'll be missed by me, also! Sending Valentine Wishes to the Heavens. Love You, Tia! xoxo

2. Special Dawn #318489 ~ My Beautiful Brown~Eyed girl from Missouri whom I have a little crush on. Happy Valentines Day dear pal! xoxoxo

3. Oscar Wilde Intentions #407764 ~ My little Kentucky pal who reminds me of the Tazmanian Devil. His nickname is *Taz* and he definately fits that mold. Happy Valentines Day my little Houdini Friend!! xoxo

4. Tia #514381 ~ My lovely White German Shepherd Gal from Missouri. She is a precious dame who lives for Tennis Balls. Do go by her page and check her out. She has fur siblings, too! Happy Valentines Day Beautiful! xoxo

5. Girlie #491011 ~ A true Darlin' she is, my black Pom Pom pal with a speck of white, a bundle of pure delight! Heheheh that's rhymes! She lives with her family in South Carolina which makes her a southern belle! She may be a southern belle, but forgets all then when her mommy breaks out the cheese! My favorite snack, too! Happy Valentines Day, SweetPea xoxo

It's sooo much fun playing TAG! It's sure a grrreat way to learn a little bit more about our furpals and what they enjoy doings. So *Tag A Friend* and tell them you Love them!! Happy Valentines Day!
Love, Kasper Grey Eagle

Steve Irwin Memorial

September 4, 2007 ~ One Year Anniversary of his Passing....

"Crikeys mate!" Steve would say,
Making people smile, everyday.
Wrestlin' crocs, wranglin' snakes,
Swimming with gators, in the lakes.

He feared nothing, not even death,
Right up till his very last breath.
What must have been his final thought?
Was it agony? Did he feel distraught?

I can't even image the pain in his face,
Leaving his family without a final embrace.
My heart goes out to each and every one,
For what they'll surely miss most was the fun.

I hardly ever missed one of his shows,
Always wearing his cool khaki clothes.
Rescuing kangaroos or grumpy crocs,
Or finding those lizards under big rocks.

Always in Australia will you lie in wait,
For Terri, Robert and Bindy at Heaven's gate.
Surely God's blessed you with angel's wings,
And made you keeper of all living things.

For all crocs go to Heaven, it's got to be true!
For why did he take you, if he didn't need you?
The world lost a hero, a very dear friend,
Your death I will never fully comprehend.


In Memory of Steve Irwin ~ Crocodile Hunter

♥ Dear God ♥

Dear God,

Let me give you a list of just some of the things I must remember to be a good dog: I will not eat the cats' food before they eat it or after they throw it up.

I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc., just because I like the way they smell.

I will not munch on "leftovers" in the kitty litter box; although they are tasty, they are not food.

The diaper pail is not a cookie jar.

The sofa is not a face towel; neither are Mom and Dad's laps.

The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff.

My head does not belong in the refrigerator.

I will not bite the officer's hand when he reaches in for Mom's driver's license and registration.

I will not play tug-of-war with Dad's underwear when he's on the toilet.

Sticking my nose into someone's crotch is not an acceptable way of saying hello.

I do not need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm lying under the coffee table.

I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the house.

I will not throw up in the car.

I will not come in from outside and immediately drag my butt across the carpet

The cat is not a squeaky toy; so when I play with him and he makes that noise, it's usually not a good thing.

♥ Brand New Plus Family ♥

Hello Pals,

I'd like to introduce a brand new Plus family from Canada, that probably hasn't even woke up to realize it yet. A Gift from our family to theirs.

They are a family of four Dogs (two of them Angels) and many kitty kats.

They are:
Angel Rosie
Angel Max
Beautiful Tasha
Handsome Lobo

They are definately looking for new pals! Please give them a big (only you can do) welcome!

Wags n Woofs,
Kasper & Family
