What's that zipper on my tummy??

Well, the wierdest thing happened last week. Dad dropped me off at the Vet's office (I heard Mom tell Dad that it's too hard for her to do it!) and I had to go in a dumb metal cage! Imagine that! Me in a cage!! Anyway......this really nice lady took me in a room with a big table and alot of shiny instruments. All of a sudden, she gave me something that made me VERY sleepy. The next thing I know, I wake up in that cage with a sore little tummy, a tube coming out of my leg and I'm REALLY GROGGY! I had to stay in that dumb cage until later that day. The good part is that the ladies taking care of me are SO, SO nice! All of a sudden, someone takes me out of the cage and then - YIPEE!!! - it's my Mom and Dad picking me up!! I've never been so happy to see them!!!
I'm not sure what happened to me, but I did hear Mom say something about no puppies for me?!
Thanks for sleeping with me that first night Mom! I love you too!
Oh, it's so good to be back home with my Mom, Dad and Tia.
Now, where are those cookies??

There's a big, decorated tree in my house!

The wierdest thing happened today! Mom put up a big 9 foot tree in our family room today! After that, she put all kinds of pretty hangy things on it! There's even one with my name on it! I'm really confused. Why the heck would she do that??? To make matters worse, when I go over to this big crazy tree she tells me 'NO"! The good thing is that she says I'll have some new toys wrapped up in pretty paper under the tree pretty soon. My sister, Tia, says to not worry my pretty little head over this. She said that it will all be worth it! Well, off I go to try and sneak one of the pretty hangy things off of the tree. Wish me luck!!!

A poem for my girls

"She is your friend, your partner,
your defender, your dog.

You are her life, her love,
her leader.

She will be yours,
faithful and true,
to the last beat of her heart.

You owe it to her to be
worthy of such devotion."

Our sweet new girl!

Ellie Mae made her appearance in the world on July 16th, 2007. She came to live with us on August 29th. I was at work and something told me to check the internet for Dobie pups for sale in the area. Well, there she was in all her glory! I saw her on the computer at 1:00 and we were at their door at 3:00!!!

Our little Ellie is such a sweet little girl who LOVES her new big sister, Tia! She has added so much joy to our family. I can't imagine her not being with us now!

We're looking forward to many years with this little angel girl!
