The Pitter Patter of more Paws

Yesterday our new kitty sister Cloud came to live with us in her Furever Home! Being our home's official Welcome Waggin' I walked right up to her and gave her lots of big wet puppy kisses! Sesshy wasn't too sure what to make of her at first so he stuck by my side for the night. Mom, Big Sis and Adam kept Cloud seperated in Big Sis and Adam's room for the night but her and Sesshy kept talking to each other through the door. They seem to like to play tag at the moment and I joined in for a little bit too but those little maniacs are way too quick for me! Tomorrow is Cloud's 3rd Birthday so Mommy says that the family is going to have a special party for all of us to celebrate and to welcome her into the family!!! I hope that means a pepperoni stick for me!

My oldest kitty brother, Smokey is going to the bridge.

Smokey took a stroke last night. It was very fast and within an hour he went from being himself to being unable to walk or focus his eyes clearly. We've given him food and he's had some water, but he can no longer hold up his head on his own. At the age of 20 (he'd be 21 in April) we've decided the best thing to do is to let him leave this world with dignity and without pain, so in two hours we are going to the vet to be with him in his final moments. We are so grateful to all our catster and dogster friends, and this wonderful community, who we know will support us in this difficult time.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day to all my pup pals and to Dogster HQ. Thank you for the beautiful candy heart rosette HQ and for all the beautiful roses, candies, lips and hearts from my pawsome pals! Congratulations to Cherokee Cherry for winning diary of the day!!! *Big hugs and kisses* One of my favourite love poems for this special occasion:


She Walks In Beauty by Lord Byron

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling place.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

THANK YOU

Great Dogs In History: Barry

Barry:(1800–1814) was a famous St. Bernard that worked as a mountain rescue dog. He lived at the monastery at the Great St Bernard Pass near the Swiss-Italian border and was responsible for saving over 40 lives. A monument to him is located at the entrance to the Cimetière des Chiens pet cemetery in Paris.

Great Dogs In History: Moose

Moose: (December 24, 1990 – June 22, 2006) was a veteran canine actor. He was a Jack Russell Terrier and is most famous for his portrayal of Eddie Crane on the television sitcom Frasier.

Moose was born on Christmas Eve, 1990 in Florida, United States, the youngest littermate. He was the largest puppy in the litter.

DeCagny has been quoted as saying that Moose was very highly trainable and won the role on Frasier after only six months of training. Moose had the ability to fix Kelsey Grammer with a long hard stare; this became a running sight gag on the show.

Moose has numerous television appearances and several magazine covers to his credit. There is an official Moose calendar and an 'autobiography', My Life as a Dog, which was co-written with Brian Hargrove.
