I became an Angel 7/19/09

Thank you to all that provided kind words, encouragement and pretty stars, rosettes and gifties to my page. Mommy appreciates is so very much. This has been so hard for her to deal with and since it was so sudden makes it that much harder. She did get to say goodbye and tell me how much she loved me, what a good girl I am and how awesome I had made everyone's life that knew me before I took my last breath in my Grammy's arms (my most favorite place to be) while Mommy was petting me. Please forgive Mommy if the individual thank you's take a little longer to post so that's the reason for this diary entry. Thanks again! xoxo

Summer Tag Game...

Well, would you believe there is a summer tag game going around Dogster? My worst nightmare who's also my sister- Harmony has tagged me for this game....here we go again, BOL!

1. I'm getting ready to go back to live with Grammy and Grampy since Grammy is coming home from the horse piddle soon! HOORAY!

2. I live under the bed to avoid "The Labradorks".

3. I hate not being "the only child" anymore.

4. I'm the only dogger that gets to hang out in Mom's gated flower courtyard.

5. I'm outweighed by 60, 80,87 and 98 pounds in this family of fur that I have to endure but only for a little while longer.... HOORAY!

I didn't tag anypup cause I know this thing will get out of control by the end of the week. BOL!

In honor or all pets that have been rescued into forever- loving homes!

A DOG'S PRAYER

Treat me kindly , my beloved master,
for no heart in all the world is more
grateful for kindness than the loving
heart of me.

Do not break my spirit with a stick,
for although I should lick your hand between blows, your patience and
understanding will more quickly teach
me the things you would have be do.

Speak to me often, for your voice is
world’s sweetest music, as you must know
by the fierce wagging of my tail when your
footstep falls upon my waiting ear.

When it is cold and wet, please take me
inside, for I am now a domesticated animal,
no longer used to bitter elements.
And I ask no greater glory than the
privilege of sitting at your feet beside
the hearth. Though had you no home,
I would rather follow you through ice and
snow than rest upon the softest pillow in
the warmest home in the land, for you are
my god and I am your devoted worshipper.

Keep my pan filled with fresh water,
for although I should not reproach you
were it dry, I cannot tell you when I
suffer thirst. Feed me clean food so
that I may stay well to romp and play
and do your bidding, to walk by your
side, and stand ready willing and able
to protect you with my life should your
life be in danger.

And beloved master, should the Great Master
see fit to deprive me of my health or sight,
do not turn me away from you. Rather,
hold me gently in your arms as skilled hands
grant me the merciful boon of eternal rest...
and I will leave you knowing with the last
breath I draw, my fate was every safest
in your hands.

Tagged by Harmony

She got tagged a lot so she thought she'd share the wealth. She nevers shares anything thats good, but I think this is fun... I wonder what she's up too!?!

7 Interesting Me Facts:

1. I am registered with the CKC instead of AKC.

2. I am terrified of being in a crate since my previous owners left me in one 24/7.

3. I recently knocked my front bottom teeth out cause I jumped off Mommy's bed (I'm not supposed to) and landed on the tile with a thud... you get the picture!

4. I pee on Daddy's clean clothes cause he's still mad that I bit him a couple of times. If you ask me, he asked for it. I hate it when he pesters me when I'm trying to sleep. If I wanted to play ball, I'd been born a big dumb ol' retriever like Harmony, Jake and Cal.

5. I would eat myself to death if allowed to. Boy, what a way to go too!

6. I can't wait to go back to live with my Grammy and Grampy as soon as Grammy starts feeling better. I know Mommy tries to help me adjust here in this Harmony infested environment, but I just want my Grammy!

7. Mommy secretly gives me an extra treat because I'm her first fur baby among Cal, Harmony and Jake. shhhh, don't tell em!

I'm packing my bags and going to Grammy's house!

Harmony keeps cornering me, pestering me, annoying me and a few minutes ago she was touching me. She needs to stay over on her side of the couch! Mommy has to keep running to my rescue because this big dumb puppy won't leave me alone. Jake grabbed some boiled eggs off the counter this morning and swallowed them whole. I know I don't even have to tell you what's been happening since then... PHEW!!!! The bigger and dog... the bigger the stink! Too bad he didn't find a gas-x or something instead of an egg! And to top it all off, Cal keeps licking me with his stinky dog germed breath! UGH! How much more do I have to take of this chaos? Before last June it used to be just Mommy and me with regular trips to Grammy house! Now I have a Daddy who makes me mind and new siblings who drive me nuts! I WANT MY GRAMMY!
