Hey everypup and fufu. This will be a short post with no pics. Mom threw her back out and has a pinched nerve. She has to take a no spaz drug and more-feen. She said it is not working very well though cause she can't get up or down without whining and whimpering. Dad has been feeding me and the kitty sibs and frankly, it is not the same! Mom takes 15 minutes to crab around on the bed and get up. I can't wait til she is better. I didn't even get to go to the bark park this weekend. The only good thing about all this is that dad goes and gets shredded roast beef burritos for dinner and mom gives me some of the roast beef. I do sqeek my cuz and that makes mom laugh. Hopefully this won't last long and we will be back to blogging.

Odds, ends and new sisters
I didn't get to the bark park today. It was too cold (21F this morning) for mom. Her arfritis is bothering her knees so bad she can barely stand. The reason I wanted to go this week was to meet up with Sassie. We got to the park last week just as she was leaving. She has a new little sister Phoebe (called Fee). I didn't get to see what kind of dog Phoebe was but I could see Sassie's happiness. She hasn't been so happy since Mikey died. When I get a picture of Phoebe, I will post it.
Now- MJ from Vancouver posted her bits on her web site. I told her I would do it too. Since then, and because my dad is soooo slooow, several dogs have posted their bits. So here are my bits:
My front paws at rest:
My head (notice my beautiful brown eyes and mask) and teefies:
The back of my head and soft ears (notice the arrow pointing toward my nose):
I saved the best bit for last. This is specially for Studly Dudley! My arrow butt:
sometimes mom even calls me "arrow butt". I hope no one was offended by that last pic.
Now for some past business. Fei asked me for pictures of my food (Eve- if you still have questions, you can e-mail my mom at my e-mail. Just click on my profile and find my e-mail address). so here it goes...
The first picture is of my turkey neck:
The next is my oxtails:
Next is beef rib:
I get one of the above every morning for breakfast.
Now for dinner (not for the faint of heart- pun intended):
Don't worry- I don't eat the whole beef heart at a meal (I know you were worried about that one!). My mom got that whole beef heart at the butcher shop yesterday. She cut it in half and each half in 3rds. Each 3rd is cut into bite-size pieces. I get heart or half a tin of canned salmon or 1/3 can EVO dog food (choice of chicken/turkey, duck, rabbit, venison) and 1 cup of EVO kibble. Mom also gives me pumpkin (canned- not pie filling) mixed with yogurt (or just plain yogurt) to aid my digestion. Seems I am considered a senior dog (when did THAT happen!).
I saved the best for last. Mom and dad stopped by Petsmart (I have never been there and would certainly like to go- hint hint mom) and brought the next two things home for me:
Since everyone is talking about the CUZ on their blogs when mom saw one at Petsmart, she had to get it. It's OK and I like it but I don't have the urge to do non-stop squeaking with it. I am used to fuzzies I guess. Cuz is covered with my hair and slobber though.
The next item is called an alternative to Pigs Ears. Since I have never had a Pigs ear, I don't have anything to judge it against but these are peanut butter flavored (my favorite flavor). The only bad thing is that they are gone in a minute.
Well- that's about it. I'm going for a quick tour of the yard before dinner.

A big Thank you
A big THANK YOU to everypup who put in a good word with the Big Dog for Sassie's Gma. We didn't go to the bark park last week due to mom's accident but went today and mom asked Sassie's dad how Gma was doing. Sassie's dad said she came thru the surgery fine and is walking around with the help of a walker. You guys are just awesome.
I was taken to the vet by dad this past week along with my 3 kitty sibs. We got shots, licenses and micro-chipped. I got my nails done also. It's the law in Albuquerque that you have to have your pet spayed or neutered or pay a breeder's license fee of $150.00 per animal and $150.00 per litter. Everyone must have a rabies shot and everyone must be microchipped. I don't particularly like going to the vet but it was OK this time. Actually the fun was before the trip. Mom has told dad I don't know how many times the order in which to get us all together. It goes like this:
1. Put Charlie out in the yard temporarily.
2. Get Nerise first by going by her on the bed and suddenly grabbing her and stuffing her in her cage.
3. Get Simon and put him in his cage.
4. Get Worf and put him in his cage.
5. Take kitty cages to truck and put in back.
6. Return to house, get Charlie, lock up house and put Charlie in front of truck.
At Vets, take kitty cages in first and then go back for Charlie. When retrieving from Vet, put Charlie in truck first and then kitty cages.
Well- what really happened! Worf and Simon got caged. By this time Nerise was doing zoomies all around the house, totally freaking out. I was trying to help dad get Nerise. Dad finally had all doors closed to other rooms and Nerise was in the living room. Dad couldn't find Nerise but I knew where she was. I poked my head under the TV table to let dad know where she was (hiding behind the video tower). Dad couldn't see her (grey kitty in black hole) until she lifted her head and he saw her eyes. He grabbed her and stuffed her in her cage. He took all of the kitty cages to the truck and then came back for me. When we came home that night it was snowing. Mom had just gotten home from work so she helped bring all of us in. I was so glad to be home. I was very thirsty. I don't like the vet water so chugged down a lot of my home water. Mom gave me a cookie. I ate most of the cookie and then horked it up because I drank too much water too fast.
Valentine's day - there was 2 inches of snow when my mom woke up to get ready to go to work. She had brought worky work home the previous night (she had heard the weather report and was prepared) so worked from home all day. Dad called in sick as his leg was bothering him and he didn't want to slip and slide everywhere. We got a total of 4 inches of snow on Valentine's day. Later in the day the snow had melted off the roads and mom and dad went out to their favorite Italian restaurant for an early dinner. They were back home by 6pm and fed us then.
I have to say I like my new diet. I get oxtail or beef rib or turkey neck every morning. I get the EVO canned and kibble in the evening sometimes supplemented with beef liver or turkey biscotti or what I can beg from my parent's meal. This morning (before my meaty bone and after the bark park) I got pumpkin mixed with yogurt. I also got some scrambled egg florentine (eggs, cheese, spinach, rosemary).
In addition to the regular dogs (Cookie, Sassie, Baily) there were a bunch of other dogs at the park so I ran and played hard. We got there early this morning so there was about a half hour that dad threw Mr. Ring for me and I chased it. I am one tired dog. I am down for a nap before dinner.

A little bit of everything -advice on pawsonal training
Well everypup- I think my mom is jinxed. She and dad left early this morning to do the usual Saturday errands and didn't get back til late. My mom was perfectly fine when she left the house. When she returned, it looked like her whole left side of her face had been in some horrible accident. She has a very large road rash over her left eye. She has a scratch under her nose, across her nose where her glasses go and her eyelid is so swollen and black and blue she can barely see. She was walking out of a store to go to the car. One minute she's on her feet and the next moment she's kissing the asphalt. She scraped her glasses really bad (not to mention her face) and since the eye glass place was open late, she went and got a new pair (actually just like the old pair) ordered. She's had ice packs on the eye 20 minutes out of the hour since she got home. At least she got me that new EVO food (kibble and canned). I got a nice ox-tail for breakfast this morning. She also picked up liver and turkey necks at the butchers. I also was given yogurt again. I love that stuff! It's kind of like ice cream. Mom says we are still planning to go to the bark park tomorrow. When mom and dad got home today, mom let me in the house. Dad was still bringing in stuff from the car. Mom went out to get some stuff and dad opened the door and didn't tell me stay like mom does so I ran for it. Dad didn't scream like he usually does. Mom went to get the leash and my puperonies. I just went as far as the house on the corner of the cul de sack and barked at those guys and then came back to my dad. He was really happy about that.
Now- where my mom works they are having a pool to see who can loose the most weight between Feb 9th and May 25th. Each person entering has to pay $5.00. The person who looses the most gets 2/3 of the pot, the 2nd place winner 1/3 of the pot. The person who gained the most gets a gift certificate from Stone Cold Creamery (they have ice cream type stuff)- not sure if that's fair! Anyhow, when you put in your $5, you get weighed. Mom weighed less that she thought and is really excited about winning this pool by loosing the most weight. She already does the 4 round trips at the bark park. I was wondering if anyone out there had any other ideas to help her loose the weight. She has assigned me to be her pawsonal trainer. So if you can think of anything, let me know. Thanks.

Request for prayers and other stuff
First- Sassy's Gma (her dad's mom) is in the hospital and having surgery tomorrow. Some kind of blockage. Sassy's dad asked if we could include her in our prayers so I said yes. I know the big Dog will listen and funnel the healing to Sassy's Gma.
I think Sassy is still grieving for Mikey. She goes running to every white dog she sees and looks so depressed to find it's not Mikey.
Funny thing this morning. My mom had gotten dressed early but dad was still stuck in bed. Just before we left for the dog park, mom starts wiggling around like she is going to have a freaking heart attack. Turns out she had her sports bra on backwards and her boobs were falling out all over the place while her bra was practically choking her. I tell you, I am so glad I don't have to wear a bra! I was also very good and didn't laugh at her (even tho I wanted to soooo badly). Dad thought it was funny too.
I want to thank Sunshade's mom for the suggestion that my mom get Innovia EVO dog food. Mom went to the local store where they have it and they had some sample bags of the dry food. She took one of the EVO and one of the Innovia Senior Plus kibble. She also got a small can of the EVO wet food. She also got some turkey necks at the butcher's. She gave me a turkey neck yesterday afternoon on the porch. That was soooo good. I crunched it all up. She got a whole pound of beef liver and cooked that up with garlic. She cut it up into small pieces so I can get it as a treat or in with my food. Last night for dinner she gave me the canned EVO. I was like a Dyson and sucked up every drop. It was so yummy. My mom liked that it didn't have any weird smell like other dog food sometimes does. She gave me some of the EVO kibble and I sucked that up too.
This morning, after the bark park, mom gave me some pumpkin mixed with yogurt. I ate half of what she gave me but wasn't totally thrilled with it. She mixed in some of the Senior Plus kibble and I sucked the rest up. Right now she has some Turkey Parme Biscotti baking. I am making out like a bandit.
Oh- I met two new dogs at the bark park (sorry- no pics of them). One was a chow-huskey cross (cream and orangey red color with blue tongue) and the other was a chow-huskey-lab cross (black with blue tongue, one eye blue, the other brown). The orangey husky X's name was Connor.
Well- I'm off to rest. It's been a tiring and tummy filling morning.

Good and bad news
We went to the bark park today. It was pretty cold this morning so mom put a wool blankie that her grammie made her around me cause I was shivering in the car even tho I was sitting on a new wool back-seat blankie just for me. After dad scraped the windows so we could see out, we left for the bark park. I was beginning to think I had done something really bad and was being punished by not going to the bark park but mom explained to me that first there was too much snow to even get in the park and then she was sick and then dad was sick. Even tho we hadn't been since Christmas Eve day, mom managed to walk 4 round trips of the park. I was so happy to be there I kept making whiney noises. I almost ran out of pee to leave pee-mail.
Now the bad news. Mikey died. Sassy and her parents hadn't been to the bark park either cause they were so sad about Mikey. He had cancer and had been fighting it for a long time. His mom and dad said they were glad to get the pictures of Sassy and Mikey we gave them just before Christmas. Sassy has two kitty sibs that help keep her company. She and I ran around and barked and played. It was good for both of us. I told her to be extra nice to her folks and give them lots of licks and hugs so they could get over their sadness. I miss Mikey too. He was such a sweet and gentle soul but I know he is waiting at the bridge and playing and not having cancer.
I also saw Cookie (looks like Tin Tin but fatter), a boxer named Vito, a border collie, the huskies and their Esky friend. A chow mix came up to me and tried to get in my face but I was having none of it. Also the bearded chocolate lab-like dog. He is great fun. I will have mom get his name from his dad.
Now the best news! Everyone was saying on the comments that mom should have given me some liver. She hadn't actually gotten any liver at that point cause she refuses to eat liver. This weekend when she went to the butchers, she got a half pound of beef liver just for me. She cooked it up with garlic. It's been cut in small pieces and she gives me some every little while. This is what it looks like after cooking. I just love it. It is soooo yummy.
She's going to make me some more turkey biscotti too. She hasn't gotten up the nerve to get me a turkey neck like Sunshade gets or try pumpkin. She wanted to know what pumpkin does for a dog. Maybe you guys can tell me.

No bark park and still winter (groan)
It snowed again yesterday and is so cold today (with more snow due in tonight and tomorrow) that we didn't go to the bark park. Mom did get not only her claws done yesterday (something called the french look) but had a massage. Her knees hurt so bad last week she could hardly stand it. The massage lady said she needed to eat beets (she had those for dinner last night) and needed to get some flax seed in her. The lady also said she should eat liver but mom wouldn't go for that (I love liver- mom should have let me eat it!)
Mom also got me something called a doggy pillow bed for nights I sleep inside. It has a nice red plaid top. I wouldn't get on it. Dad took it out to the living room and put it where I usually crawl under his legs. I laid half on and half off it. I'm just not sure I like it. It is so squishy, not hard like the floor and not firm like my straw in my outside crate. Dad says he will continue to put dad smell on it until I get used to laying on it.
Mom got some new sleepy pants this weekend. She really likes the Mutt brand with the dogs and cats on them. They are her favorite at home thing to wear.
Mom also got the FURMINATOR on Ebay and it arrived. She did a preliminary run at me and was astounded at the amount of loose fur she got out of me. She tried it on my long haired kitty sib Worf and squealed with joy. He has a lot of loose undercoat during the winter that usually ends up in mats and needs to be cut out (usually at the vets). She got out a couple of handfuls with just a few strokes and Worf was even purring (he doesn't do that for a slicker brush or comb). She is so sold on the product.
Mom is pretty much better but dad got sick last week. It was a fast cold. He stayed home Thursday and Friday from work and slept a lot and took medicine and got over it quick. Man it is hard keeping your people healthy in the winter! Everyone in this household is totally sick of winter. The highest temp it is supposed to get next week is 40 degrees F. With the temps in the 15 degrees F range at night, mom doesn't want me staying out. She is afraid that my arfritis will get worse. Last night I woke up dad about 3am to go out. I just couldn't stand being inside any longer.
Well- I hear the rattle of little cheese crackers in a bowl so am off to investigate.

Off with the Big Bling and down to business
Thanks to all of you, my mom is slowly on the mend. She goes for a massage tomorrow where they will get to working on her back. She is sprained it due to the coughing from the other stuff. She assures me that we will be going to the bark park on Sunday. I can't wait!

Studly - Dudley my favorite boodog tagged me to write down 5 goals I should be working to in 2007.
- Get Studly Dudley to be my virtual boyfriend so he will put hearts around my name on his site. Sunshade I can live with but what about me? Oh dear- that seems so doggist.
- Try to get mom and dad to give me a whole cookie any time anyone or any thing in this house gets moved. I am the official cat spokesperson when they want to come and go. Go past that sideboard where the cookies are stored and they are mine!
- Find a dog to go on a play date with. I can get mightly lonely here in New Mexico.
- Help mom and dad exercise more and eat less so that can look as good as I do.

Ok- I just had to try it!
Seems like everywhere I been today, I have seen Pikipimp.com so figured I might as join them! Don't you just love my bling?

You guys are AWESOME
I'd like to thank everydog and their bipeds for putting in a good word with the Big Dog. Mom is doing better today. No barkpark for me as there is still snow on the ground and mom's still not totally better. Yesterday was pretty funny. Mom sent dad to do the shopping with a very specific list. When he got to the butcher shop, he called her. He asked what a large boneless chicken breast was. Apparently he was not making himself clear to the butcher. Mom had to get on the phone with the butcher and tell him what she wanted. Apparently dad thought that 1 breast meant 1/2 of a whole breast. At least he got the right dog food for me without another phone call. The people at the butcher shop asked why he was doing the shopping by himself and he told them mom was sick. They said she must be VERY sick for her to let him do it by himself. Mom usually doesn't let dad do the grocery shopping by himself if she can possible help it. Mom is eating today. For breakfast/lunch we had corned beef hash. I got some too.
Well- that's about it for now. I know I owe a New Year's tag and I am doing some serious thinking on it so maybe tomorrow.
C-K-C (feeling relieved that mom is getting better)

I need everyone's help
My mom said I could ask for everyone's help so here it goes:
My mom was sick over New Year's because of the bronk-itis (made worse by the foot of snow we got in Albuquerque). She had to cancel her massage which helps her body move fluids out of bad places. Yesterday she went to the human vet and she has a sinus feckshun, ear feckshun, tonsil feckshun and really really bad bronk-itis. She was feeling so bad that she stayed home from work today and I heard her call and cancel her claw appointment. She has never done this before! Not only that but she asked Dad if he could help with dinner (danger, danger). She is still barking a lot and has 2 medicines for that. A yellow pearl one and a liquid. She is also on anti-botics twice a day. Today she just lay in bed and barked.
I would like to activate the pawyer group and have everydog pray for mom. I know it would help. It helped with Doodles da Dad. I will even give up my bones if the big Dog will make her well. I am just so scared!
C-K-C (frantic but sticking by my mom every moment)

New Years Barking in
New Years came in last night, not with a bang but with a bark. It wasn't even MY bark. It was my mom sounding like a wounded seal. Because she was out in the snow on Friday and Saturday, her bronk-itis came back really bad. She is gasping and barking. She has taken her drugs and cough medicine for the night so will go to bed very early tonight so she can make it up in time for work tomorrow. Much of Albuquerque streets are still snow packed and icy. It will take her extra time to get to work tomorrow.
New Years here did not have a lot of fireworks. It's kinda hard to light fireworks off when your farkels are freezing. I think a lot of people stayed home and watched TV. Mom and dad were supposed to go to a movie today but the parking lots of the malls aren't cleared of snow. Most malls found it easier to close. A lot of the church services were cancelled yesterday. Dad was back at Gma's to finish shoveling off her sidewalk and driveway. When he left, he backed up into the neighbor across the streets un-shovelled area and nearly got the truck stuck. A definite indication that tomorrow is not going to be good going to work at 6am.
On a lighter note- to make up for not being able to get to the bark park this weekend, my parents showered me with food. We had New England Boiled Dinner (Ham w/bone, potatoes, carrots, onions, cabbage). I got to keep the ham bones (even had a little meat on them). Today mom made leg of lamb (she just loves lamb). She doesn't do lamp chops cause she says that they are so small she could sniff them up her right nose. She only does leg of lamb. I got to keep the entire leg along with some meat on it. It was so good. The only bad thing is I can't bring it inside so I hope nothing steals it away.
I had a fine time getting my mom to get up frequently and let me out to chase those birds away. They kept coming back cause dad filled their feeder and left 2 suet cake feeders also for them. They seem like awfully greedy buggers.
Hope all my blogging buddies had a good and safe New Year.

A snowy New Years Eve
Well, the snow finally stopped. We have about a foot of snow in our part of the city. Those who live nearer the mountain, in the northeast heights, have about 16-24 inches of snow. Most all church services were cancelled today. Mom and dad dug and lurched their way out of our driveway late yesterday to go to the grocery store to get last minute food things. Mom had to cancel her massage which has made her somewhat cranky. We had to cancel our bark park outing today so I am cranky. She will have to call after Tuesday to get a temporary inbetween massage. So- it snowed from 9am Friday morning until 3pm Saturday. It has broken all of NM records. Mom is tired of winter, dad is tired of winter, the 3 kitty sibs are tired of winter and I AM THE MOST TIRED OF WINTER OF ALL. I don't mind cool temps but this is the pits. It's supposed to go down to 13 degrees F tonight. Another night indoors (sigh.....).
Anyhow- here's the pictures. This first one is my mom's car becoming one with the tree and snow.
The second one is my Gma's driveway after dad dug her out today. The snow in the street is mostly ice.
The next one is me having a good time supervising dad putting out food and suet cages for the birds. That way me and my kitty sibs will have hours of enjoyment watching them.
The good thing about this snow is there probably won't be a lot of fireworks tonight. Hopefully people won't shoot off their guns either. Since it is going to get down to 10 degrees F tonight, there probably won't be as many party revelers as usual.
Anyhow I wish everydog, pup and hooman a Happy New Year.I am so grateful for the changes that everyone at DWB has made in my life as well as my mom and dad. My life is so enriched by all the dogs I have met on-line. Lets make this the best dog year ever!
C-K-C (one hour away from 2007)
P.S. Studly Dudley can be my boyfriend if he wants (I know his true heart is to Sunshade). Also Chester mentioned in my Christmas Card that he would like to be my boyfriend if we lived closer.

Santa Paws, Mis-shipped snow and other things
Sorry I am so late in posting Christmas pictures. Dad just uploaded them. Santa Paws brought me a new dolly and a new rawhide bone. Mom and dad gave me Pupperoni. Below is me, telling mom to hurry up and give me my stuff.
This is my new dolly.
This is my new rawhide bone.
Next- I think maybe I'm not going to get to take Mr. Ring to the bark park any more. Last Sunday I had Mr. Ring with me. I put it down to sniff a very compelling peemail and this creepy little girl Boston Terrier (no offense meant to Joe Stains) tried to pee on it. My mom managed to snatch Mr. Ring out from under her just in time. Then my dad threw Mr. Ring and this little mutt Sammy (breed unknown) stole it right from under my nose and ran away with it. It took a lot for Sammy's dad to get the ring away from him and back to my dad. The only good thing was that Sassy and Mikey were both there. Mom had printed out some photos that dad had taken of Sassy and Mikey on some nice photo paper. She gave them to their parents. That way they would have them in case something happens to Mikey.
I was out on one of the Husky blogs the other day. I'm pretty sure it was the AO4 (Army of 4) site and they were wanting snow for Christmas. Well- I think the snow got mis-shipped to New Mexico instead of Kansas. We got some snow last week on Tuesday (see previous blog). This morning there was a dusting of snow (and the car encased in ice) on my mom's car when she left for work. There was a lot of fog also. She ended up leaving work at 10:30am and coming home. There was already 2 inches of snow on her car. It has been snowing since she got home. Where she works there is probably 6 inches of snow. At our house, there is probably 3 or 4 inches. More is due over-night. Albuquerque does not work when it snows. You can't get from our house to any where without major problems. People just don't know how to drive on snow. I'm freezing my butt off here (I don't have those furs like Huskies do- I'm not fluffy), my mom's pissed cause she might have to miss her massage tomorrow (she has one every other week cause of a side effect of radiation treatment) and worst of all, Simon (lard butt) and Worf are freaked cause of the snow. There's no good way for kitties to go potty with all that snow (not to mention my butt not liking to get cold & wet when I do my poops).
On a lighter note- I got Studly Dudley's Christmas card today. He has his Christmas pictures up on his site and my mom was laughing and laughing. He is a sweet guy. If he wasn't smitten with Sunshade, I might give it a go but I don't think girlfriends should poach.
That's about all for now. My mom wants the computer back. She has worky work to do cause she came home early. She was on the computer all afternoon too. How am I going to keep up with the blogs I ask you!?!

Snow and other things
It snowed today in Albuquerque. We don't often get snow. When we do, it is usually an inch or so and overnight. Everything is delayed by 2-4 hours in the morning cause no one knows how to drive on snow. Today, however, it started mid morning and by 2pm they closed the schools. Since people don't now how to drive on the stuff, everything got jammed up. My mom was let off of work at 2:30pm and she didn't arrive home til after 4pm. Normally the drive takes 45 minutes. She knows how to drive on snow (she grew up in New York state, south of Buffalo, in the snow belt) and has also lived in North Dakota. By the time she got home, she was very tired. Most of the way she had to drive 15 miles per hour. These are pictures of my driveway and front yard after my mom got home
A couple of posts ago, FuFu asked for a picture of my boyfriend Jake. Below is a somewhat blurry picture of Jake running with someone else's ball (way to go Jake!)
So far, I've gotten all the Xmas cards but 2. My parents can't believe it. I even got a card from my mom's high school boy friend. I also got the cutest stocking to hang up. My mom's best friend Becky made it specially for me. Mom gave her one of the calendars with my picture. Feliz Navidad is the Spanish way of saying Merry Christmas. This one is Fleas Navidad. She said Santa Paws would put treats in it for me.
Buster mentioned that inside was where the big bed was. I don't get on couches or beds. I don't like the feeling of not having something firm under my feet. I don't like it when I go to the vet and they put me up on a table either. I just don't sleep very good in the house. I feel that I should always be listening for intruders. Also, I'm a black dog in a dark bedroom and my mom usually manages to stumble over me in the middle of the night, no matter where I am in the bedroom. Even with those little flashlites in the wall sockets she can't see me.
Well- I'm off for a quick tour of the snowy yard before bedtime.

I've been tagged
I've been tagged by Oscar Airdale
The Rules: The player of this game starts with "3 things he/ she would love to get for Christmas" and also has to list "3 things he/ she definitely does not want to get for Christmas". Then he/she tags 5 friends and list their names. The ones who get tagged need to write on their blogs about their Christmas wishes, as well as state this rule clearly, then tag 5 more victims. And the one who tags need to leave a comment that says "you've been Christmas tagged!" in their comments and tell them to read your blog.
3 Things I would love to get for Christmas:
1. All the Turkey Parme Biscotti I can consume without actually getting sick.
2. Lots of visits to the Bark Park.
3. That Mikey's parents feel better about Mikey's condition and that they cherish every day they have left with Mikey.
3 Things I don't want for Christmas:
1. My kitty sibs to steal my food
2. Have to go to the vet for anything
3. To have other animals abused
I tag:
Romeo- Ozzy's brother
Bella the Weimaraner
Lalbert the English Bull terrior
Finnegan the Irish Wolfhound
Last but never least, Studley Dudley, my favorite boodog
Went to the bark park today. Jake was a no show (sigh....) but Mikey was there and looking pretty good. He even did a little jogging. I was chased by Charlie, a chuhuahua wire-hair terrior cross. We had a good time doing zoomies around the park. I was able to shag mom and dad around the park only 4 times. Man, that woman has GOT to pick up the pace! She did give me water from my foldable bowl from Butchey & Snicker's mom. She is even nice enough to make sure it is tap water and not that tasteless bottled water stuff.
We are supposed to be getting some snow this week. Mom says she wishes it would hold off as she has a lot of appointments this week and hates to drive in the snow (even tho she grew up where it snows a lot). If it does snow it will probably be too cold for me to sleep out at night and I really don't like to sleep indoors. Oh well. If I don't get to post again before Christmas, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Kwanza and Happy Hannaka (not sure on spelling). If I've missed out on any of the celebrations, I'm sorry.

Well- I've done it
I've converted to beta blogger. Not because I wanted to but because every time I tried to leave a comment on the old blogger, beta blogger kept sticking it's nose in and saying I couldn't use it. What a pain in the butt!
I have gotten so many Xmas cards from so many places around the world! Mom said she was going to put them in individual sheet protectors and keep them in a notebook for me so I can look at them anytime I want.
I hope everyone doesn't mind but I'm keeping the basic look of my blog the same. Over the holidays mom said she will add more links, etc. but she likes the basic blue of it all.
FuFu asked for a picture of my boyfriend Jake. Dad still hasn't downloaded all of the pictures from the last few times at the bark park. He has been sick. He had to go to the tooth doctor. He broke a tooth under something called a crown and it infected his jaw. He is still on anti-botics and happy drugs. He was so out of it yesterday that when mom handed him the phone to call in sick to work, he whacked it on his forehead. Mom then dialed the number for him and when someone answered, told dad to "speak". Heck, I can do that! He spent most of the day in bed. He is feeling better today and went to work but is still eating soft foods. He should be OK to go to the bark park on Sunday. My mom is willing to go every Sunday and some days in between during the holidays. I am pretty happy about that.
some bad news tho. Mikey (of Sassy & Mikey) has cancer. The vet found several lumps on him and said there were too many to operate. Mikey's parents were very upset but my mom told them that Mikey looked really good, didn't look like he had lost weight and seemed in good spirits. Mikey's dad asked what they should do and my mom said that Mikey would let them know when it was time and what to do. Our cat Grover who passed to the Rainbow Bridge let mom and dad know when it was time. I was sad to see him leave but I know he is in a better place waiting for us all.
Well- mom wants the -puter back. She has some work work she has to do (you'd think she could get it all done at work).

Christmas cards, boyfriends and fashion don't Mom
First up- my dad mailed off the cards today. I thought they'd never get sent. I worked on them all weekend. I didn't lick the envelope though (I know better). I had mom moisten her finger on a wet sponge and run it along the envelope. That way her finger was sticky!
Boyfriends- I have a boyfriend at the bark park. We went Sunday, even though it was cold and he was there again. His name is Jake and he looks like Chester. Jake is very nice (blush, blush) and runs up and down with me when I chase my parents. He even had a drink of water from my bowl. His dad thinks it is funny in a good way that I am his girlfriend. My friends Sassy and Mikey were there also. I managed to shag mom and dad on 4 round trips of the park. Pawsonal trainer is my middle name!
Lastly- for those who were asking for a picture of the fashion faux paw, here is a picture of mom in her green sleepy pants (they have a dog eating grass and saying "go organic"), yellow shirt, blue fleece cap and fingers missing gloves. She also is wearing black fuzzy slippers. She wears these INSIDE. I pray she doesn't go outside wearing them or if she does, at least let me be no where near her!
I have gotten lots of Christmas cards. Dad got one but it turned out to be from a car dealer wanting to sell him a car. Mom has temporarily hung them from a string tacked up along the shelf in our hall but I don't think there is going to be room for all of them. Mom thinks it is so neat to get Christmas Cards from all over the world.

Old news and questions
Mom and dad took me to the bark park twice over Thanksgiving. Once on the day after Thanksgiving and then our regular run on Sunday. I managed to chase their butts up and down that park for 4 round trips on Sunday. I was so tired at one point that I was almost foaming. Mom realized I needed some water and got out my new red folding bowl she got from Butchy & Snickers' mom's web site. It was perfect. I drank quite a bit so I was able to leave even more peemail. It was a little chilly last Sunday. Tonight it is supposed to get down to 20 degrees and tomorrow it will get up to about 37 degrees. It's a good thing mom has a new winter jacket and gloves. She has arfritis in her hands and they hurt badly when they get cold. Mom said that despite the cold tomorrow, we are planning on going to the bark park. She was at one of her doctor's last week and droped another 2 pounds. Man am I good or what! Maybe I should bill myself as a personal trainer? Even dad thinks he has lost some weight.
Now for the question. This is probably better answered by Meeshka but maybe someone else knows. Does your mom wear funny hats and gloves? Mom and Dad went to REI which specializes in outdoor clothings, camping gear, etc. She got 4 fleece hats with a Mountain Hardgear logo on the front. She started wearing that brand hat when her hair fell out during chemotherapy and has worn them ever since (she now has hair but keeps it short). She got them in slate, black, lite blue and orange. She is sitting with the blue one on her head right now and is wearing her green sleepy pants and yellow t-shirt (no fashion sense found in this house!). Dad is wearing an orange fleecy cap too (2nd fashion loser). Mom also got regular woolen gloves with funny grippers on the palms for wearing out doors. Is she planning on flinging herself to a tree to keep from falling down? She got a pair of woolen gloves with the fingertips cut off. The gloves weren't bloody so I have to assume that someone wasn't actually wearing the gloves when the tips were removed. She said she will take those to work as it sometimes get very cold in the building where she works, even with the little heater under her desk. She has one of the bigger offices where she works althou the building has no windows and is made of concrete blocks. The reason she has one of the bigger offices is a series of pipes runs thru her office. Everytime anyone flushes a toilet, uses the kitchen sink or waters the yard outside, a great sighing of the pipes in her office occurs. She keeps a radio on so she won't notice the flushing part.
Good Dog- I just hope no one actually SEES my parents with these things on! That would be sooo embarrasing.
