Happy Mother's Day

.




I know I am a day late, but I just wanted my mama Gracie to know that I didn't forget about her.  Happy Mother's Day Mama.  I Love You and Miss You.

Your little boy,
Ryker

That's my mama on the right and my half sister on the left.    I also hope Mama Jamie had a wonderful Mother's Day too!!!  She took such good care of me when I was a little baby wigglebutt.  I will never forget either of them.

The old and the new...

We are having a Celebration of my mom's life on Mothers Day.  After that we have less than two weeks of school left.  It will be time to get out in the garden and that is always therapeutic.
I am an only child of two of the most wonderful parents a girl could ask for.  They didn't spoil me except for love. Bought me up with good values and an appreciation for all that life has to offer.
Mom has lived with us for seven years so she leaves behind a big empty spot that I am trying to fill with wonderful memories, of which I have a lot.

These are some older photos of Ryker that I took this year and never got around to posting. I hope you enjoy them.

All the snow is fanailly gone from the yard and the crocus have poked their pretty heads out of the ground.

A sure sign of renewal.

I lost my ID tag at the sports park this winter.  Mom had Urban Puppy make me a new one and it arrived last night.  So after my romp in the mud (yes, things are still muddy here but should be drying up soon),  I got a bath and mom gave me my new collar and tag.  Check it out!

    Hope you all have a Wonderful Easter Sunday.

For mom...

When you are sorrowful
look into your heart
and you shall see that
you are weeping
for that which has been
your delight

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.
