Layla's Rambles

Why my tail?

Can anyone tell me what's so fascinating about my tail? The little thing that Mom & Dad brought home about 9 months ago seems to always be pulling on my tail. And he pulls out hair, yeouch! Mom says I'm very good though because I'm so patient with him but I think someone needs to teach him that my tail is not a toy! Ah well, maybe when he's older. I used to be able to just get up and move away from him but now he follows me. Thankfully he's not too quick and can't get me waaaay up on the couch. Mom says it's only a matter of time though that he'll climb up and get me. What am I going to do then? Anyone have any tips or tricks?

Holy Nelly!

Who is Nelly exactly? Ah well, it doesnt matter. It's been fuuuurever since I last put in an update.

So much, so much to tell! I cant remember everything but I'll try to tell you all about what I remember. Ah, nah. Let's just talk about today. Today we went to the dog park!! Woah do we love to go there. So much to see and do, it's crazy....crazy fun that is. We got there and there were no dogs in the meeting area so we played some ball and just ran around. Then Pete came to play! So we set off on our looong walk around the park but guess what was all over the park? M-U-D!! Oh my gosh that stuff is so much fun. It gets all over your paws and up into your hair....the problem is though that it usually means we get baths when we get back though. That's no fun but it's a small price to pay I say!

Well, I could go on and on about all the fun butt sniffing, exploring, ball playing and stuff we did. But I'm super tired and it's time to nap.

Later Dudes.

Oh wait, we gotta give a shout out to our new Pup Pal Texas!

Sad day

We found out this morning that a fellow Doodle Connection (our favorite forum on Dogster) playmate went to the Rainbow Bridge last night. Her family noticed something that looked similar to a rash on her body which they thought was a reaction to the shampoo the groomer used recently. They found out Lucy had a really really low platelet count which is not good at all. Lucy then started to not feel well so she was rushed to the emergency vet who tried to do everything they could for her. Sadly, she passed away last night.

Mom has tears in her eyes every time she thinks about Lucy, not because she really knew the pup but because it reminds her that something awful like this could happen to either me or Dudley. She says that even though we're annoying sometimes (ok, a lot of the time) she cant imagine not having us around to snuggle with.

Anyway, if you want to visit Lucy's page and leave her a bone. Here is the link to her page, just cut and paste it into your browser. http://www.dogster.com/dogs/409388 If, for some reason, the link doesnt show up you can search for her by just putting in her Dogster ID number which is 409388.

Ok, gotta go snuggle with Mom so she doesnt sniffle any more.
