Check out my wings!!!!!

Hey! I got my wings!!! Thanks to those awesome wingmakers at Rainbow Bridge Angel Babies.... I am so happy to have my wings!!!! I passed away so suddenly, that I caught my mom offguard. I was not acting normal..so she and my auntie rushed me to the 24 hour vet. I got an exam, and mom was told that it is my time....After all, I am a senior dog citizen...But, like Frank Sinatra said...I did it my way...I passed on to the bridge before they could put any needles in me. Mom was happy that I was only sick a very short time. She also was ok with me going on my own terms. I love my mom. She rescued me when I was a puppy with mange. I will always be grateful for the love she showed me. I could get away with anything, and I usually did. Unconditional love. I never got in trouble. I got out of the house all the time. Used to drive my aunties and uncles crazy. I thought it was funny. My mom would reward me with cheese when i got out. So, when I wanted cheese, I would escape, sniff the neighbors flowers and run home for cheese. I had a great life. I lived in a big house, with a big back yard. I am a good dog, but I hated things to be boring, so I would shake things up once in a while. Oh, and I have a cat back on earth. His name is Gage. He is cool. Don't usually like cats, but he respects that everything in the house, including mom is all mine. I let him inside the house when ever he wanted. Then two kittens. Ugh....Patches and Tiger. Now, there are only cats...Mom said no more dogs. Yay! I am the last dog!!! No other dog gets to replace me!!!

Hmm, feeling a little hoarse. Maybe I barked too much. Catch ya guys later.

Yep. I went to doggie jail

A couple of weeks before I went to the bridge, I got out of the house. I did this ALOT! I may be small, but I can walk fast. I was about 2 miles to the north of my house when the dogcatcher nabbed me. I was getting tired anyway. So, they took me to this crazy place I have never been before..."the pound". OMG! It was so noisy there! I could not even hear myself think. And could they have taken a worse mug shot? Seriously? But, since I have a microchip, my family came to get me. I was only in that crazy place a couple of hours, but that was enough. My mom still cant believe I crossed all those main streets and did not get hit by a car. And she was secretly happy the dogcatcher nabbed me. Oh well, at least I can say been there, done that!.

Well, time for me to go....

I was not feeling too good last week. Mom was very concerned about me, but I am an older fellow so she watched me. Sunday night (Mother's Day, of all days) I took a turn for the worse. Mom and Sis rushed me to the 24 hour vet hospital, but I made my journey to the bridge before they could put me to sleep. I did not want to leave mom all alone, but it was just my time. I will always love her extra special because she saved my life when I was just a puppy. I will keep an eye on her from up here. I love my mom very much. One day, I will see her again.

I heard it through the grapvine!!!

My cousins, Duke and Lexi told me I am getting groomed tomorrow by Auntie Gayle. I don't like to get groomed. But Auntie Gayle knows how to handle me,and mom just cant anymore. My fur issue is unique. I have long terrier fur. I get more sticks, blue flowers, and stickers in my fur. Auntie Gayle spends long hours picking them out. And gives me treats. I am 11 years old. I dont really like to be picked at. So, I found out I am getting trimmed and a bath with Lexi's shampoo since we have similiar fur. I just can't wait. Maybe I should start looking for a place to hide now....I love my Auntie Gayle. It just seems that she does everything beause mommy cant. Mommy has cancer and is getting ready for second round of chemo. Happy no likie. Auntie Gayle told me to lay with mama when she comes home, she needs you. Well, ok. Maybe that is why they want me to smell better. Anything for my mommy. I loves my mommy.

Woofs

Hee Hee Hee

I went in the Blue Bush again. I came out looking like a black dog with blue spikes. I love that bush. Mom has tried to kill it so many times, but my Blue Bush will never leave me. It is so much fun when mom has to pick the sticky blue flowers out of my fur.

I heard a rumor that auntie Gayle is coming over to trim my fur and nails. I don't like that. And then there was talk about a bath. Grrrr

We will see who wins that battle. Auntie Gayle told mom, if she can't groom me, I am getting a "spa day" at the vet. I dont like that either.

Well, If I get groomed., I will make sure the put a photo of the groomed version of me on my page.

Back to the Blue Bush. Did you know there are frogs under there? And there is a baby Lizard on the wall, but I cant get him. I am way too short. I just chase the frogs, I like them. I never kill frogs. I have been known to lick a frog or two, but thats it.

Well, time to go. The Sun is out, and I gotta go run around the back yard to see what happened while I was asleep.

Woofs of fun!

Things are good!

Finally, my cousin cats, Reno, Sasha, Eva, Paisan and ...? got off the computer for a second. I have been bugging Auntie Gayle to write a diary entry for me. She said she would but alot of kitties were passing to the bridge, and that is Reno and Paisan's job. I am a member of PAWS too, and saw what was happening. I am not the biggest fan of cats, but I am sad when they are sick or go to the bridge. I understood that I had to wait my turn.

Now, my mom is home from the hospital. She smelled like she had been at the vet. Without me!. I am glad she is home. Uncle Sandy thought it was very funny that I steal and hide mom's shoes so she cannot leave. Forgot about the slippers! Ooops.

The whole time mom was gone, about 3 days Iwas hiding in my corner spot. Auntie Janine would call me and try to give me treats, but I was just too bummed.

But when she came home, I was soo happy. Now everything is back to normal.

So,here is what I did to celebrate! We have a big bush in the back yard that has these sticky little blue flowers. I get inside the bush and play, roll around, chase bugs, have fun..etc..It's when I come out that the
trouble begins.

I am a longhair.Stcky blue flowers and long fur do not go good together. But, it gives mom something to do...pick little blue flowers out of my fur. I let her do it for a while, then I run away. Then, I come back, she gets more off me and I run outside and get more. They smell good to me. But I have a big backyard. I chase frogs, and bugs have all kinds of dog fun.

I hope mom stays home for a while. So I can play!!

Ok, I am turning the computer back over to Paisan. He gets so serious!


Woofs to all!

Getting back to normal

Mom is feeling better every day. I am a bad dog sometimes. I am the only dog and have alot of energy, even for my age. I get bored easy and that gets me in trouble. I kept tearing through the house, tried to steal food out of the kitchen. Made Auntie Gayle hold me and pet me, bugged mom for a piece of a girl scout cookie, the peaunut butter kind. I got into stuff in the kitchen, and Auntie Janine came after me and told me NO. I had been moping around while mom was in the hospital, so I guess that is why I have so much energy now. Auntie Gayle asked me if I wanted to go home with her. Mmmm, Lexi and me might be a trouble match. I decided to stay home with mom. Probably a wise decision.

Happy dog at it again!!!!!!

I am such a happy dog now!!!

My mom came home from the hospital tonite. She looked so much better. She did not have pneumonia after all, but a lung infection and a bacterial infection.

As soon as she walked thru the door, I was so happy to see her. I ran around the living room like a crazy dog. Auntie Janine and Auntie Gayle were trying to catch me so mom could sit on the couch.

No way!!! I am too happy. I grabbed one of mom's shoes (so she could not leave) and I ran straight out the back door into the back yard.

I am so relieved to have her home. Now, I don't have to worry anymore. My tail is wagging so much, it might just fall off. BOL.

Thanks to everyone who showed their support for me. I wuv you all!


Woofs of extreme happiness,
Happy

I am not a Happy dog right now.

I know my mom is sick. I know she goes to the doctor alot. Well, now she went and left me here and was admitted to the hospital. I am not home alone. Auntie Janine and the family are here. I miss my mom. Auntie Gayle came over and played with me. I am sad and have been keeping to myself under the table. I hope she comes home soon.
She has pneumonia, and I don't like it at all! Grrrr.

I am going back under the table. Let me know when mom gets home.

Wow!

I should have been hanging out here with Duke and Lexi a long time ago!!! I made so many new friends today! It was great. I spent my day in the the ususal way. Lying on the couch, getting into stuff in the kitchen, running through the blue bush in the back yard and coming into the house covered with blue flowers. It is almost time for my annual trimming, so I have to get as many blue flowers now as possible. It gives mom something to do!! BOL. Pick sticky blue flowers out of my fur. So much fun!

Well, I will bark with you all later!
