If it's not one thing, it's another...

Hi friends! I had to stop by quick and write a diary entry, just to let everyone know I am still here, but lots of stuff has been going on, so we haven't been able to keep up with emails and stuff. Sorry about that! :-( We hate to miss birthdays and prayer requests!!

As some of you know, one of my furless brothers - the oldest, Tony - broke his ankle pretty badly back in December. So many of you were praying and we appreciate your support and friendship!! Tony is doing very well. He is wearing an ankle brace for the next 6 months, mostly to prevent re-injury. He's very happy because he can wear his regular tennis shoes, bol!

About two weeks ago, mommy's knee was hurting her very badly. She has hereditary arthritis, and has had trouble with her knees since she was a little kid. Anyway, the pain was bad enough that she finally called the doctor. X-rays show mommy has bone spurs in her left knee. The doc gave her an injection in her knee to help with the pain and swelling, and recommended wearing a knee brace when she is doing a lot of walking or exercise. The injection helped a lot and mommy feels much better!

Okay, so, Tony is doing better, mommy is doing better, then on Thursday night she got this phone call: "Steve just got hit by a car." Yipe! Steve is one of my other furless brothers. Boy that is a scary phone call! Mommy rushed to the hospital - thank goodness we are very close to it - and found Steve scraped and bruised but nothing worse than that. No concussion, no broken bones! The ER doctor said Steve's guardian angels were working extra hard - well, he does have me and my kitty sisfur Kinsey watching him from the rainbow bridge! :-) Steve has "road burn" on his knees, hands, and the right side of his face. It is healing very nicely, no problems or infection or anything. Mommy has been putting aloe vera on his face to help prevent scarring. It has been 5 days now since the accident, and Steve was ready to go back to school today. :-)

Well! I guess that about sums it up, bol!!

We love all our friends here!

Corky (and mommy Becky)

Check out my Scrapblog!

A friend suggested a site called scrapblog.com, so mommy checked it out. It's free and really easy to use! It's lots of fun if you like creative projects like that. :-)

Mommy made one called "Part of the Family" that has pics of all of us. It's pretty cool, you should check it out! I hope you like it!

Great party!

I had a lot of fun at the Dog Park January birthday party the other night! Lots of food and dancing and good times! I even won the birthday pup of the month! I hope we can go to more parties in the future!

Ode to Iowa Winter

(the following poem was written by one of mommy's friends on SparkPeople)


It is winter in IOWA And the gentle breezes blow

Seventy miles an hour At twenty-five below

Oh, how I love IOWA When the snow's up to your butt

You take a breath of winter And your nose gets frozen shut

Yes, the weather here is wonderful So I guess I'll hang around

I could never leave IOWA, ' Cause I'm frozen to the ground!!!

happy birthday to me!

It's my birthday at the Bridge! My furless twin brothers have a birthday today too. Yup, we were born on the same day! :-) They are 15 years old today; happy birthday Sean and Steve!!

Thanks so much to all of my wonderful friends for the birthday wishes and rosettes!!! :-)

Angel hugs and kisses,
Corky
