Time for some Coffee

My Bridge pal Gucci has done some magic! Gucci knew how much his family missed him and he sent beautiful Coffee to them.

Coffee, you have found a pawsome home! Well done, Gucci!

Please stop by Coffee's page and welcome her to Dogster.

No News is Good News

The momma just phoned the vet's office to see if the biopsy results are back yet. Apparently the vet had phoned the Veterinary College about the results today, and was told they still aren't available. We are hoping that no news means good news. We will keep you pups updated once we know.

Thank you

Thank you Dogster for naming me one of the Diary Picks of the Day today! Thank you also to the pals that have sent pawmails and rosettes to help me celebrate today.

I am doing good, but just wish I could run and chase things. There have been deer and rabbits in my yard and all I can do is bark at them! The nerve of those critters to taunt me like that!

Thanks again everypup!

Out of Surgery

Good morning pups, I am just waking up from surgery so I will let my mom talk to you. Hugs, Abby.

I just got a call from the vet and Abby is just waking up from the anesthetic. On removing the growth/tumor it wasn't immediately apparent what it might be, so he asked me if he could send it to the Veterinary College for histological testing. Hopefully we will have the results of this by the end of the week or by next week at the latest. I will be able to pick her up around 3:00 p.m. this afternoon.

Hopefully the histological results show that the lump/tumor is nothing to worry about. We will keep you posted once we get the results. Thank you for the pawmails, rosettes and continued good wishes.

Back from the Vet

Well pups, I am back from the vet and I am scheduled for surgery on Monday morning.

The vet examined the lump and got a worried look on his face. Mom has never seen him have a worried look on his face, even when I ruptured my CCL he didn't get that expression. He looked at my chart on the computer, asked mom a few more questions then examined the lump again and then looked at my gums to see what color they were.

He told mom she had reason to be worried, of course that made her worry more. He said he really doesn't know what it is but it doesn't feel or look like a fatty lump and if he could have removed it today, he would have. The lump is not quite the size of a golf ball and it is a dark purple in color.

Please do not send rosettes, but if you could send me lots of positive thoughts for Monday when I have my surgery that would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Positive Thoughts Needed

If you pups could spare a positive thought for me for tomorrow it would be appreciated. Mom was rubbing my belly this afternoon and noticed a growth on it. She got all upset and made me a vet appointment for tomorrow morning.

We are hoping it might just be an infection of some kind, but we will keep you posted. Please do not send any rosettes, just a positive thought that it isn't anything serious is all I need. Hugs!

My Pal Gucci

I am so very saddened today to learn of the passing of my dear friend Gucci.

Gucci, mom and I enjoyed our times together in the groups we belonged to, hearing stories and learning about the culture of your country and just exchanging pawmails. We shall miss you and your friendship greatly dear friend. Run free and healthy at the Bridge dearest pal.

Our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to your loving family at this difficult time. We love you, Gucci.

My morning adventure

It has finally stopped raining here, and the momma and I decided to go for a nice morning walk. The momma suggested we go to the river, and I got all excited and away we started on down the path to the river.

As soon as we got to the bottom of the riverbank I started acting strangely according to the momma. I circled around her, stopped in front of her and then started back up the riverbank, I only stopped once to make sure she was following me up. When the momma was halfway up the riverbank she stopped and looked back down. She saw a big black head and two yellow eyes staring back at her.

We are both pretty sure that was a wolf.

Please say hello to Skipper

Hey pals, I would like to introduce a pawsome new pal to everyone. Her name is Skipper.

She is a very sweet girl, so please stop by her page and say hello to her!

Silence is Golden --- NOT

Well pups, apparently silence is golden! I do not agree with this.

You see, I like to bark. There are many critters that wander onto my property and I must bark at all of them. If they happen to wander onto the property at 1:30 a.m. or 4:30 a.m. I must bark at them. I must! I must warn the peeps about the trespassers!

The last few days the peeps have had colds and have been trying to get some extra sleep. Is it my fault that at 4:30 a.m. those two deer were in the yard and I had to bark at them and thus wake everybody up? Is it my fault the peeps couldn't get back to sleep after that?

In an effort to get more sleep, last night the peeps actually pulled down all the blinds in the house, thus rendering me no view to the outside world all night. I think this is cruel and unusual treatment. Luckily for me, when mom pulled up the blinds this morning, I got to bark first at a rabbit and then a fox!
