Greetings, everyone! Mom is back now from her horrible conference all week, and she hopes to be back to active status in our favourite dogster groups!
Mom and I wanted to thank you all for your words of comfort, special gifts, and candle lighting for my fursis Figgie, who passed over onto the Rainbow Bridge last Monday. It means so much to us to know that you all are so caring and supportive. We truly appreciate it, and think you guys are wonderful! We are still hurting very much, of course, but we can't tell you how much your kindness helps. Love, TEDDY!

It is with the greatest sorrow in my heart that I have to report to you that my fursis Figgie passed over to the Rainbow Bridge this morning. Figgie has been ill for some time now, and was recently diagnosed with masses in her liver. She struggled to live, but in the end, the disease won. We all feel horrible, but Mom feels worst of all, since she is away at a conference right now, and wasn’t even home for the last two days of Figgie’s life.
I will miss Figgie, even though she ignored me most of the time, but still, I knew how much Mom and Dad loved her, and so I loved her, too. She slept curled up against Mom in the big bed almost every night for nearly 20 years. That’s a long time! Longer than many marriages. Every night, if Mom got up to pee, Figgie would make a certain noise when mom came back to the bed, to let mom know she was there, and not to sit on her. Mom is going to miss that little warning meow.
Figgie was originally a feral cat, and Mom and Dad found her as an infant in 1989, abandoned by her mother and living in a woodpile up at the lakehouse. They heard a crying and whimpering and thought it was a hurt bird. Dad went out to find it, and surprised Mom by coming back in the house with a small fluff ball. The raccoons had gotten to her eyes a little bit, but she recovered. She didn’t even know how to drink, that is how young she was. Mom remembers her as a little ball of orange fur tearing down the long hallway, legs flying out in all directions. She used to play “Buddha belly” with Figgie, roughhousing a lot, and Figgie was tough girl and loved it. She was the third cat in a household of geriatric cats: Orpheus lived to be 22 years old, and Jebbly lived to be 21. For the past several years, she's been an only cat. Aside from her twice-yearly checkups, she never had cause to go to the vet, until last month, when she started losing weight very dramatically.
Mom feels bad she never created a catster page for Figgie, but you can see pictures of the Fig on my page on dogster. She was a beautiful girl. We know she is at peace now, but please think about her anyway, as you go about your day, and remember to appreciate all the people and furry companions that share your life, and don’t take any of them for granted, because it is very hard when they are no longer around.
WE MISS YOU, FIG-FIG!
We will miss you forever.
Love, TEDDY

Well, this must be my lucky day! I've been tagged by my buddy Daisy Elise! And now I must find 7 random (yet, hopefully interesting!) things to say about myself! And then I get to tag 7 other lucky pupsters! OK, here goes:
7 "Fun Fact" about TEDDY! (to paraphrase David Letterman!)
1.) I LOVE my squeaky toys, especially my little monkey;
2.) I squeak the toys in time to the music – I am very talented in that regard!
3.) I am a rescue pup – was found on the Cross Bronx Expressway with broken legs and pelvis;
4.) I’ve been in my new “forever home” for about a year and a half;
5.) I love to stand still outside and sniff the breeze. I could do that for hours;
6.) I actually LIKE the ice and snow, and can’t wait for it to get cold enough!
7.) I wish my friend Figgie would like to play with me, but she just mainly ignores me, except when she attacks me if I get too close! That’s not nice, Fig-Fig!
RULES OF THE GAME:
Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Dogs who are tagged, need to post in their diary the rules and their 7 pawsome facts. Then choose some dogs to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to bark them a pmail that they have been tagged and to read your diary, or, send them a fun Rosette announcing they've been Tagged.
My “Lucky 7” Taggees:
Bailey
Jazzy
Foxy
Digger
Tobias Bear
Tessa
