HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME !!!

q





Today is my  Birthday and I am two years old!  Mom gave me a meaty bone in the morning and then later I got to open my package...

Can I get a little help here mom?

 

Cool, I don't know about that shampoo but the paw toughener and the treats and chews look and smell good!  

 Huh, what is this thing called an antler?  Smells very interesting.

Birthdays are pretty cool!  Mom was gonna take me out for a walk but we are having very high winds today and trees are coming down.
Mom said it wasn't safe and we will go when the winds calm down.

I want to wish all my siblings Happy Birthday, and especially Bandit!

Oh, and my little friend Charlie is turning One tomorrow so be sure to swing by and wish him a Happy Birthday!  http://ohcharlietheminiaussie.blogspot.com    Hope you have a wonderful day Freckles!

The weather outside is frightening

&





                        While many of you are out planting gardens this is what we are up too...

                                    Yup, It's snowing again.

Not unusual, I have seen it snow in May.  But then I have also heard that mom has been out in shorts in April... not this year mom!

                    So if your having nicer weather than we are enjoy it and send some our way! 







Awesome... Sleeping in freshly washed bedsheets!

Status Quo

So things are status quo here.  Mom likes her reduced work hours, she can spend more time caring for GM.  We have a lovely young lady who cares for her when mom goes to work 4 hours a day.   I of course stay home and watch out over her too!

                           I have other duties around the house...like pre-washing the dishes.

                                           And helping Mort patrol the yard for invaders.

My Second Birthday is coming up soon, this coming Thursday the 7th!   A big box arrived the other day and mom says it is for me but we can't open it till the 7th.   Man o man,  I wish I could reach it and rip it open right now!  I am no good at waiting!

So there you have it, we are plodding along.  Oh, forgot to mention it snowed twice this last week.  Even I am getting a bit tired of the snow.

I would like to Thank You all again for the outpouring of concern and well wishes for our family during these tough times of loss and illness.  You are the best!

Awesome?  Having a great song end on the radio just as you reach your destination.

Comfort One

Hello to all my friends.
 My Grandma is not doing well and my mom has had to rearrange her work schedule to half time so she can keep her mom at home as she can no longer tolerate going to adult day care.  She has a lovely young lady that takes care of her for four hours a day while she goes to work at a nearby school.  Hospice has been contacted and Grandma is kept comfortable with Morphine and Ativan.
Times are hard for my mom right now and I am working hard to keep her happy.  She tells me I am doing a great job.
We lost Cleo our calico cat last weekend.  She had a stroke and lost function of her backside and had to be put to rest.  They say things happen in threes.  Thank you all for your well wishes.  You are kind and supportive and we love you all.
Mom says she will get back to posting soon, we miss you!

Pot of Gold?

.






                                        We followed the rainbow and found our pot....

                                                  It was not what we had been hoping for

May the lick of the Irish be with you!

May the road rise up to meet you.
                                 May the wind always be at your back.
                                                                  May the sun shine warm upon your face,
                                                                                                   and rains fall soft upon your fields.
                                                                                                                          And until we meet again,
                                                                                                                                       May God hold you in the palm of His hand.




                                                                                                     Hope you all have a wonderful day!!

Adopt a pet today! Pet Finder Promo Day

.

Adoption is not just for dogs and or cats...
Here's Cocoa!

Cocoa and Bianca were privately bred sisters who are proud to be part of the ferret adrenal study. Bianca has now passed away leaving Cocoa behind. Although a senior now at 6, she is still a feisty girl and loves to play.  She resides in Washington State.




Here is another great Washington State winner looking for a home on Petfinder...

Domino

Anatolian Shepherd/Dalmatian Mix: An adoptable dog in North Bend, WA

CONTACT: i_worshipa7x@hotmail.com Dominio is a 1 1/2 year old 40 lb. sweetheart looking for a loving forever home. He is deaf and knows hand signals for sit, lay down and is working on stay. He loves playing with other dogs at the dog park and cuddling with his family. He's a perfect boy when he goes to Petco to get his nails clipped. Would you consider being his forever family? Domino would be best in a home without toddlers who might not understand Domino's deafness.

Adopt a MOVIE STAR... MINI AUSSIE Dexter 

Australian Shepherd: An adoptable dog in Kent, WA

Dexter is one of the MARS Mini Aussies that was used in filming Marley & Me 2, release date June 2011. Mr. Dexter is for a serious Aussie fan only! At about 17 months old, he's super smart, high drive, and has potential with a capital P. Dexter easily learns anything asked of him, has excellent obedience skills, and quite a repertoire of tricks. But that's not enough for Dexter - he craves positive training sessions and would excel in Rally-Obedience or Agility. Dexter needs a lot of exercise daily, as well as mental stimulation. He easily hikes for two hours with other dogs, then after a nap - he's good to go again! Unfortunately Dexter's drive was stronger than his body and he recently had corrective knee surgery for a severe luxating patella. Dexter is on the road to 100% recovery, and he'll be able to run, jump and play with ease once his knee is fully recovered. He is already back to hiking an hour an hour a day. Dexter will also be able to do agility starting in September 2011, and his knee should never bother him again. Dexter loves to run with other dogs, or play fetch outside. He has high food and toy drive which is excellent for training! He can also settle nicely and amuse himself around the house, or cuddle up and watch a movie with you. Dexter currently lives peacefully with several other dogs, and hikes with other dogs with no issues. Dexter has been to doggy daycare and he has his own fan club among the staff. Dexter is a fantastic dog, who will make anyone proud - but sadly Dexter does have a few issues. He has moderate separation anxiety, meaning he cannot be left alone for long periods of time. He can handle up to one hour left alone in the house with the other dogs before he starts to get anxious. He is fine if he can ride around in your vehicle with you. Therefore, shopping and dining aren't a problem if Dexter is hanging out in the car, which is great - until the hot summer months. If you are interested in adopting Dexter please consider that he will need to go to work with you, or to doggy daycare when unable to be with you. Dexter is crate trained and is quiet in his crate in the care. Hes fine crated at home or at the office as long as you are close by. Since Dexter likes to go everywhere with his foster mom, we have worked very hard to make sure Dexter is polite and well behaved in public. He can even hold a long down-stay in busy public places. Dexter shows a keen interest in cats. He has learned to not get too close but he is not to be trusted around cats who are not totally comfortable around dogs. Dexter is also wary of young children - when they run fast it startles him and he barks at them. Dexter happily takes treats from calm, quiet kids, but he would not be happy in a home with kids, or where kids are frequent visitors. Dexter would do best in an active home that has a keen interest in dog training. He is a VERY rewarding dog to work with!

The adoption donation is $250. All dogs are microchipped, spayed or neutered, up to date on vaccines, and accompanied by all available vet records. Each dog comes with a martingale collar, nylon lead,backup slip lead, clicker with instructions, stainless steel collar ID hang tag, and a Fido's Farm $25 Gift Certificate. Post-adoption support is also provided.   Wow! What an amazing dog!

Petfinder is full of wonderful pets just waiting for you!  Adopt today!
