We Got Rain,sorta

late this morning it rained ! There was a lot of thunder early in the morning and then it was sprinkling and then RAIN. But it only lasted for about 20 minutes then after it stopped the sun came out and boy it felt so hot. We didn't get out much because of the heat. The next couple of day's the temp's might be in the 80's but sometimes that is hot. I sure hope we get more rain soon and that it last a little longer.

Thunder!

We just had a bunch of thunder go through but not single drop of rain :( We need RAIN here in Indiana! Mommy's tomato plants have died,the small strawberry patch has died and the peonies bush out back have died and we only have 5 sunflowers left. We had helped mommy plant a flower garden out back and the sunflowers were the only flowers that even grew. The grass is even dead. It's like that everywhere! Even if you watered things it didn't help. Also the water works raised the rates so, that can put you between a rock and a hard place literally.
When it was thundering we went out back(I had me calming collar on) and mommy kept saying, rain, rain come on and rain. But No, Nope, Nada! We have a chance for rain yet tonight and tomorrow and Thursday. The temp. got up to 99 today. We've had the AC on for what seems like furever and do miss having the window's opened. I hope where ever you all are you are staying cool!

I Had Hors D'oeuvres Today!!

Yes I sure did and they were little! It was Cat Chow BOL! Like she does sometimes, mommy left the gate off the bottom of the stairway. She had been upstairs sweeping, mopping and vacuuming one of the kitty only room's. I guess she was hot and tired, because you know lugging a vacuum and a bucket with mop and water upstairs is a chore. Anyway when mommy was all done she brought down mop, bucket, vacuum and trash and just furgot all about the baby gate at the stairway. Her and us doggies went out for a short while to do business, then came back in so us doggies could eat. Well Pookah stayed in one room, Molly in another room and me and Walker went to the parlor. Only him and I eat in the same room. Pookah and Molly used to eat in the dinning room but Pookah got to naughty and jumped Molly and tried to take her face off, so he eats in the bedroom and Molly eat's in the dinning room. Anyway I saw the opportunity to head up the stair's and I did!! Mommy turned around and knew exactly where I was and just started laughing! She called me and went up and caught me having tiny cat chow Hors D'oeuvres BOL! I got done and mommy said, ok Ms Alex time to eat your own chow. So I went back down the stair's slowly and did very good at that. You know mommy worries about me and stair's because I'm a big delicate girl. I can't wait for another opportunity at that cat food, I only wish the pieces were bigger and meaty BOL!

My Happy Day!!

Yes it sure is! Today I am 8 year's old. It's been a busy day for us on dogster. There are 1,127 doggies having a birthday today, WOW!! Mommy looked at the birthday stroll and saw me and Walker. Thats a lot of doggies. Thank you very sweet fur's for all the pmail's pictures and rosies. Sometimes it takes 3 tries to get a picture on so we are resting from that BOL!
I am also Royal Member of the Day at Princess Divas & Prince Charming's! My favorite group.
Mommy took a birthday picture of me this morning. I had been wearing my Calming Collar because a few day's before and after the 4th there are usually fireworks going off at all hours.But our county has a no burn and no fireworks ban on for another week at least. We need rain here in Indiana. When we do get any it just soaks in and you can't tell it rained, but even without the rain the grass has been damp in the early morning's. We'll get some sometime. I hope all people affected by the storms on the east coast and the Colorado fires will be ok very soon. So much loss, it is very sad. Please say prayers for them all.
Thank you again fur's for making this a very Happy Birthday!

I'm A Big Stinker Today!

This morning Mommy was going to take me over to husis's and as soon as I got out our door,I ran and pulled mommy down right on the sidewalk! She hung on to my leash tight but ended up with a skinned up knee, and top of her hand ,on the right hand side. But she know's I was just so happy and didn't do it on purpose. Anyway she got up,we went back inside and dad walked me and mommy over to sis's dog Walker had already been there today and it was my turn. So I would say I am 100% again! When I got over to sis's I went inside and got some chip's and boy they tasted great! The grandson's gave them to me BOL! Then sis walked me around the yard and I looked into eveything I could find. They had tent's set up in the backyard so of course I checked those out to. Every once in a few step's I found more chip's to BOL!!

DDP Comment's!

I have tried and tried but cannot answer the comment's on my DDP Entry. Thank you Zaidie and Riley! It's Great to feel GREAT again!!

I'm A DDP Today!

Yep, mommy got an email this morning and that was a very nice surprise. I'm doing A-OK now! I even ran along the fence line and jumped to bark. That is what I love doing. Mommy say's I look so beautiful and graceful when I run. I took my last pain pill today and mommy put the bed frame back under the bed. When I had pain pill's to take I alway's had a butter bread or peanut butter bread with the pill inside it. YUMMY!! Of course the other doggies had some bread to.
Thank you HQ for picking me and thank you Harley Diva-Girl and Jazzi Dancr, Hershey and Winkie, Krickette, Abigail June, TJ,SOX and Family for the rosies and Redford and Family for the beautiful picture.Thank you all for the congrat's posted in the group's.
Have a great and fun day fur's, I sure am!

This Morning

Guess what fur's? This morning I was not limping!! Mommy was so happy she had tear's of joy and thanked the Lord. All the prayer's and good happy thought's have helped me. Now I know I have to be careful and still take it easy and I can't be running and jumping yet, but no limping for this day is great! The grandson's were here and us doggies and the boy's and mommy was out back for over a hour. Mommy has been limiting my outside time. It is a very beautiful day at my house. Sunshine!!
Yesterday though two pup friend's did go to Rainbow Bridge, Peanutty and a sweet Cocker Spaniel Sassy. Please say a prayer for them and their families as their heart's are breaking.
Thank you all again!

How I'm Doing!

Thank you all for the prayers and good thoughts and rosies and pmail's. Mommy took the bed frame off and I did sleep on the bed. This morning mommy helped me twice get off the bed. Now I'm on the floor on pillows and blankets. I have a slight limp. It's noisey out here today. On the nth 9th street side of my house the street dept is spreading dirt and spraying it, then on nth 8th is some tree trimming and it's garbage day!! I did see the approaching garbage truck when we were out but mommy got me and got me back inside in time. The vet did say if I'm not better in 10 day's to come back, but I know I'll be all better soon! dog/catster is the best place full of the BEST FURS!!

Please Say A Prayer Fur Me

I'm asking for prayer's for my Sweet Alexandria(Ms Alex) Last night she jumped off the couch to bark at loud people outside and she either bumped the end table or stepped on my computer charger cord box thingy. She is limping and at times whine's. She has a 3PM vet app. to see what's going on. We have checked her front right foot and pad's and leg. All look's ok and to our touch fine. I think maybe it's in her shoulder. It seem's to hurt when she is on the front right.She is supposed to rest as much as possible and for her that's hard because she loves running and playing. Ms Alex is the sweetest pup and is very loving girl ♥
