Arrival Story:
Sweet little Emma came to us when she was 20 hours old. She was born with facial deformities (cleft palate & cleft lip) and her owners just didn't know how to care for her. Emma was unable to nurse from her mama due to her deformities - so she needed (and still needs) 24 hour 'round the clock care in order to survive. Emma is fed with a tube that goes into her mouth and down into her tummy.... this lets us give her all the nutrients that she needs to thrive and grow into a strong healthy girl! The birth defects keep Emma from being able to drink and breathe properly... so without the tube feeding, she would not be able to live. Emma has been in surgery 4 times already! All within her first 7 days of life! Unfortunately our efforts were all in vain - and the surgical repairs were not enough to repair the defects of Emma's palate and lip. She truly is a miracle girl.... a fighter like I've never seen!! Emma has a long road ahead with further surgery and lots of growing to do, but in the healing hand of God - I'm certain that this little baby will amaze us all!!!

HAPPY SUMMER EVERYONE!!!

Hi there everyfur!! (and skinthings too!!)

Mom n' me have been having an awesome summer!!

It's always so long between our Dogster visits lately that I feel like I'm missing you guys EVERY SECOND!!

Well let's see.... what to say..... well, I'm gonna' be TWO YEARS OLD next month!!! *happy stomps x's four* Can you BELIEVE IT??

Mom says no way - - she says that it CANNOT have been two whole years already since she brought me home!!

But it is!! It really IS!!

I'm doin' really great too... I eat EVERYTHING and ANYTHING I want... (cheetos are my fav!!) and I don't have any troubles with my fancy face... my sniffer works perfectly!!

I still don't like to venture out too much - - - my crib is my safe place and the only place that I feel REALLY comfortable... ('cause my skull is still all open in a buncha' places, yanno' - so I'm always a little afraid to be anyplace where I might hurt my head)

Mama says I'm just gonna' stay a bitty girl for always.... she says I never did grow much - but I'm here ta' tell ya'... I am BIG!!! I do like to watch my figure - as all young ladies should - so I am between 28 and 30 ounces all the time. I still wear all my same dresses and PJ's that I did when I was 4 months old Mom says.... so I guess maybe I'm not as big as I thought.... but I FEEL BIG!! And THAT'S what counts!!

My travelin' scrapbook is still out there somewhere roamin' the country.... I haven't got to see it yet, 'cause I think it went MIA - - so hopefully it will be found and sent on to all the other lil' pupsters who have signed up to do one of the gorgeous scrapbook pages that everyone keeps telling me about! I can't wait!!

Mom's been a little crazy this past year.... we have SO MANY rescue babies that it's almost like a ZOO at our house!!

I finally talked her n' my other Mama into putting some of those adoptable faces up here on Dogster.... they've raised those things since they were tiny newborns and now they're ready for homes of their own! They've been doin' this kinda' baby raisin' for years and years - but so far, I'm the only one who's ever got ta' be on Dogster!!

They got a new baby from a rescue group a couple weeks ago... he's a Bichon Frise' Mom says (sounds like an awful fussy name for the little bit a' nuthin' that he is!) *stickin' nose in da' air*

Mom got him when he was like 10 hours old and if you can believe it - this thing was even TINIER THAN ME!! He was only 1.4 ounces when he came here. (I was 3.4 ounces when Mom got me!)

He doesn't have a fancy face or nuthin' - - Mom says he was just a runtboy and the rescue group didn't think he'd stay alive. He's a couple weeks old now and opened his little peepers yesterday!

And ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh there are Bloodhounds!! Lots and LOTS of MASSIVELY BIG BLOODHOUNDS!!! hahaha.... they scare me to death, but Mom loves them. They came here when they were 6 days old. Now they're 14 weeks old and I say, IT'S TIME TO GO!! haha!

Don't get me wrong... they're cute n' all (from THIS side of the window) - but how would YOU like a pack of wild HORSES running through YOUR bedroom every night???

There's all kindsa' babies Mom has right now - so be watchin' for them here on my Dogster family pages - they are all adoptable!!

I hope you all are having a fantastical summertime!!

Thanks so much for the treats and gifts n' stuffs that you all leave on my page!! It's like Christmas every time I get to come visit!!

Love you muches and bunches!!

*nose kisses n' lil' sniffs*

Wow Wow Wow!!! Me n' Mama can't believe that you guys kept my book going!!! Even with all this time that we've been away.... **sniffly tears**

I can't tell you how my heart tingles when I think of all the friends I've made since I was just a tiny thing.... Mom says that every heart has love to give and I have been SO lucky to get a drop of love from everyone I know who loves me!! That means that I have BILLIONS of drops to share!!!

We love you all so very much!!!

Thank you for keeping my book going - and thanks to my favorite "organizers" who never let things fall behind - even when me n' Mama do!!

I had my very first birthday on August 4th and so many of you were WONDERFUL to send special wishes my way - - thank you so much for that!!!

I know we haven't been very good at staying in touch and keeping updated on our friends and what's going on with you all - - but know that Mom talks 'bout you guys all the time and we both miss you all so very much!!

We'll be here as often as we can!! Love love loveeeee to all our friends!!!
