Pawlease Light a Candle For Spike

Mom finally got around to starting a special candle for Spike. We wish all of Spike's furiends will Light a Candle for him here. Click on "Dedicate to Topic" directly under mom's name (Ramona, Lafayette, LA) to light a personal candle in his memory. Once posted everyone can view all the candles lit.

Gone But Not Forgotten

Since our last entry we lost our furbro, Spike to sarcoma. We all prayed for a miracle to happen and was hoping that mass would shrink or at least not grow, but it grew so huge within two months it seems unreal. It grew three times the size it was originally seen in August and was taking up 3/4ths of Spike's chest area. Mom's little buddy fought a courageous battle against that nasty C, but it beat him like it's done to so many other furs. Mom says life will never be the same for her again.
Two weeks ago today Spike turned ten years old. Mom thinks he wanted to make sure he made his tenth barkday before letting the C take over. Now Spike is up there in doggie Heaven with Sheba, his bestest pal whom he thought was his new mama. Mom's missing them both something terribly and wonders how/why both ended up with cancer within such a short period of time of each other.

God Bless our newest angel, Spike. We miss him here on Earth...he is gone from here, but will never be forgotten. We know he's watching down on us from doggie heaven. Until he meets mom at the bridge with all the other angel furmily members he will always be right here in her heart furever and ever!

We won a Snuggle Sack from the Pet Post Card Project. It arrived in the mail on Thursday and it's really cool. Bella is enjoying it cuz she loves to get under blankets. Check Out The Snuggle Sacks Here. Ours is red/white striped and really cool. Mom says she'll try to take a picture of Bella snuggling in it real soon.

Another Month Has Come and Gone

OMD! Here we are into the month of August already! We just can't believe the way time flies. Mom says it has something to do with age; the older we get the faster time flies, but we don't know about that. The most important times for us is when it's time to eat, time for a treat, time for play, time to run around outside, and time to sleep. Hey...we are dogs...we don't get the time flying thing, but we do know mom has been stingy with our Dogster time a whole lot! BOL! BOL!! And if anyfur is interested in knowing why it's because she has been farming so doggone much!!! What in the world is this farming thing? And, she's also decorating an apartment...OMD...our mom has become addicted to farming and yoyo land. What's a dog to do around here to get some Dogster time???

In June we had a visitor hanging around our front door. It was a cute little gray kitten which finally got adopted by the neighbor's kid next door. Mom was feeding Smoky for awhile, but was happy she's got a home.

Spike got a few teeth pulled in June, but he's doing well with no problems eating without those teeth. He was also a diary pick during he month of June and barked about it in his diary.

Sunny Lee's mama made a pawesome CD for our mom and included a big bag of delicious natural dog treats (Charlie Bears) and three small squeaker tennis balls for us. We are so lucky to have such wonderful furiends. Mom started buying us Charlie Bears...we got one of each kind last week and wuf them all!!

Spike was also chosen as diary for the entire week at one of his groups. He also barked loud about that. And, Spike barked loud about our gigantic Greenies we got from Ernie George & Izzy's mom. Aaaroooo!!!

We got some BIG news about winning cards in the Pet Post Card Project for the month of May. SHEBA had three winning cards, Spike had one and Bella had one!! Aaarroooooo!!! Some of our fantastic prizes already got here...the cleaning products we got earlier this year when we won before and a picture is in our photo album here. The rawhide chews arrived too, but mom is giving those away. It's fun winning prizes, but more exciting knowing we helped homeless pets get food.

Miracle was a diary pick on June 4th and Sheba was a diary pick on our dad's birthday, July 27th. We thank all our furiends for sending our angel furs special messages and rosettes when their diaries were picked.

We have to bark about Mica's IMHA Research as it is so dear to us pawsonally. All of our furiends know it took Miracle away from us all too soon just as she was starting to enjoy her new life here. Mom still misses her a whole lot and it's hard to believe it's coming upon a year since she went to Rainbow Bridge. And now Sheba is there with her sprinkling angel dust on mom every night while she sleeps to help heal her broken heart. Mom's doing better and will be okay cuz she's farming these days. We are happy she has something that is helping to heal the constant sadness that overwhelms her.

Big hugs, licks and tail wags to all our wonderful furiends.
