Memorial Day,Gotcha Days,Memories and News

Happy Memorial Day Everypup!

 On this special day, let's all remember all the servicemen and women who have served our country, protecting and preserving our freedom. Thank you to all of you...those currently serving, veterans, service DOGS, and those who gave their lives for us.

 Memorial Day week is special here.  In 2005, Angel and Lakota came to live here. They were rescued from an abuse situation.  In January of this year, our sweet Angel left us to run North of the Rainbow Bridge. She was almost 15 years old. The first picture is one of her taken in December.

 This is Lakota.  He came to live with us at the same time as Angel.  He didn't like being out in the old kennel, but when mom moved the kennel closer to the house, he decided it was GREAT being in there with his girlfriends! 

 Now for the first part of our news.....I have TWO NEW SISFURS!! They traveled all the way from Fairbanks, Alaska to live here.  They arrived on May 22. This is Sugar and she is going to be our new lead dog.   

....and if you have Sugar, you have to have...SPICE!!  Spice came into the shelter with Sugar (these are the new names mom gave them) and they are best friends. Both of them are very friendly and like all of our pack.  I got some pics from when they were in Alaska and will share those in another post. 

Now I have some wonderful personal news... my darling Pippa and I are ENGAGED!!  We don't have a wedding date set but I will keep you all posted.  I am thrilled that he accepted my proposal because he is the love of my life! 


Last of all, I want to share this sign that mom saw on the way to Boston to pick up Sugar and Spice.  TICKS are everywhere and we need to make sure our humans check us and themselves for these nasty critters.  My Pippa got VERY sick from tick bites last year and we don't want any of our friends to go through that.

Here's hoping everyone has a wonderful holiday and be sure to thank a soldier or a veteran for their service.  


Bows to all service people and dogs,
Skye

Happy Leap Day!

Hi everypup & khat!

Today is February 29 and this is a day that only happens every four years! Isn't that neat? For all you girl pups, did you know that you can propose to your beloved because it is a leap year?

I found that out and I did propose to my darling Pippa. He has a new link to his blog-- http://pippadogblog.wordpress.com/ He has been sharing some really great pictures of where he lives in Gibraltar.

In my last post, I mentioned that I had a new sisfur. Yesterday was exactly one year since she came to live here. Her name is Lilly and she came here from Alaska. Sometimes mom calls her "silly Lilly" because she likes to jump up on her barrel. She really loves running in our team and is really friendly.

We had something really weird happen awhile back. A huge hot air balloon landed across the street from our house!! Mom thinks it was trying to make it to the field at the high school one more street over, but it just couldn't make it.

Another thing I told you last time was that I have two new kittens. Well, mom was not totally right (what a surprise!). Both of them are BOY cats! They are getting big. They both like me a lot. This is OJ with a mouse (hee hee)

This is Latte. Mom says he has a shot of espresso/jet fuel. He runs around like his tail is on fire.

As many of you know from fb, we lost Angel in January. I will be doing a tribute post to her very soon. Thank you for all your kind thoughts and prayers.

We are going to be doing a school demo this Friday or next depending on the weather. We actually got some snow today, but it is turning to yucky slush. I am sure mom will bring the flashy beast with her (if she remembers to buy batteries) so I will have some pictures to share.

Enjoy Leap Day and Pippa, I love you, darling!!

Leaping for joy,

Skye

Merry Christmas!

Hi Everyone and Merry Christmas!

I am so happy to be back to blogging and what better way than to be able to wish all my DWB friends Happy Holidays!

This is our Christmas tree. Mom had to set it up on the back porch. You will understand why later in this post. She did a nice job decorating it and even put pink lights on it.

This morning Mom gave me my presents. I got a really cool stuffy toy. I think it looks a little bit like my darling Pippa! Speaking of my darling Pippa, I want to wish you and extra special Merry Christmas. I hope you got some extra toast with butter and other wonderful stuff.
I also got a nice new big dog bed, but somehow the picture just disappeared! Mom took our truck to the car wash yesterday and gave it a bath. She also decorated it with a really cool bow.

Now I can tell you why we had to put our tree out on the porch. First I must tell you that my mostest favoritest kitty pal Misty went to the Rainbow Bridge in September and I have been missing her a lot. Well, now I have TWO new kitties to play with! This one is Latte and mom thinks Latte is a little boy cat. Mom is not too smart on that so she will find out for sure on Tuesday when she takes them to the V-E-T for their kitten checkup and shots.

This is my other new kitty and this one is named OJ. Mom thinks it is a girl kitty. Mom thinks she looks like an orange creamsicle, but that is too much name for a little kitty, so she decided on OJ.

They are really cute but they are definitely into EVERYTHING! They are not even afraid of ANYTHING! My very old sisfur Angel is in the house because she is very weak because of her very old age(14) but mom keeps the kittens away from her "just in case". We could use some prayers for Angel.

We got to go for a short run two weeks ago and I got to run lead with my dad dog Dave. I have a new sisfur--she came to live with us March 1 all the way from Alaska. She ran in the team and did really good. Wow! we have a lot to catch up on! But for today, enjoy a special day with your furry brothers and sisters and your human pawrents and share some extra love with everyone!

Love to all my dear friends!

Father's Day & let's start catching up!

Haa rooooo everypup & kittie!

It has been soooooo long since I have posted. There has been a lot of stuff going on, but I convinced Mom that this is important too! Well, she agreed, so we are BACK!!

Yesterday was Father's Day and I hope all the dads out there had a wonderful day. This is how my dad Dave's Father's Day went..........First of all, let me introduce you to my very handsome dad, Dave! Mom let him run loose in the kennel area with Jasmine (his girlfriend) and Angel (the oldest member of our team). It was a bea-woootiful day --not too hot and lots of shade. Dave LOVES running around and playing with
Jasmine. Angel loves to snooter around BOL!

After running around for awhile, it was time for Dave to treat himself to some of his favorite drink..nice cool water!

This is Dave taking a break with his sweet Jasmine. She is a really sweet girl and dad just adores her. When they are loose in the kennel, he almost never leaves her side. And this shows you just how much he loves her! He was thanking her for making Father's Day extra special!

Silly Blogger is not letting me type under the last picture, so I will have to pupdate everyone on my next post....and I PROMISE it will be very soon!

Hugs & Howls,

Skye

Back at last! and my brother Blaze

Haa rooooOOOoo Everypup!!

It has been soooo long since I posted and I have missed you all very much. Mom's computer crashed and Auntie Kat's would not behave, so Mom finally broke down and bought this bea-wootiful pink laptop! We have had a lot of things that have happened, but I will fill you in another day.

Today I want to tell you about my older brother Blaze. Now some of you know what has been going on because I have been doing pupdates on my FB page. Blaze has been suffering with a urinary blockage caused by crystals...not the pretty type that we have here. He has had to have surgery a couple of times in the past 2 weeks. My darling boyfriend Pippa (muwah) dedicated a post on his blog to Blaze today. You can read it at http://pippadogblog.blogspot.com/

I wanted to share some pictures of Blaze and let you know that he is doing better. Mom says it is going to be a "journey", but with all the pawsitive energy we have been getting, I just know he will be OK.

This first picture was taken on one of the RARE occasions that we had snow here this past winter. He really does look like Pippa, don't you think?

Mom took this picture while Blaze was at the V-E-T's office. He has been spending a lot of time there so they can make sure he is making pee.

This is Blaze going for a leash free walk in the garden...hey! how come I don't get to do that??? Just because I run really fast and ignore Mom???

Now I don't want you to think that Mom has been spoiling him or anything, but did you notice that he has a PILLOW to put his head on? haa rooo

I am glad that he is home and getting better. It was really scary when his bladder actually ruptured and Mom had to come home early from the DWB get together in New York. She said she didn't mind because wanted to be here to take care of Blaze.

He certainly looks comfy now!

Now, this is where we want Blaze to be...all healed and back in lead for Uncle Tom's team! Yup, that is Blaze in lead with Loki, then Dante (on the left) and Nikki, and in wheel are Wolfe on the left and my other brother Lakota's butt on the right.

Ahhhh SNOW!!! What a wonderful thing to think about on a HOT July day!

I have to go supervise the supper making. I promise I will fill you in on the other things that have been happening. I appreciate all the prayers and the Power of the Paw that have helped Blaze. Please keep that energy coming! I love you all so much...especially my sweet Pippa!!
Wooos,
Skye

Good MEWS

Hi Everybody!
We have some good MEWS! haa roo.... Mom has been talking to Auntie Kat and Merlin is doing better. The blood work was not back on Friday afternoon, so still waiting for that. The V-E-T thinks that Merlin had a seizure. Hopefully it was an isolated incident. He is now able to walk and his eyes are focusing. He is not totally better yet, so please keep those healing vibes & prayers going! The Power of the Paw!!
Auntie Kat asked me to thank all of you for your vibes & prayers.
I will keep you posted on Merlin's progress.
Thanks again my furiends!

Love,
Skye

Healing Vibes Needed Please!

Hi Everybody!
I need a favor from every pup, kitty, hammie and hooman. Mom got a phone call from Auntie Kat tonight and one of her kitties, Merlin, has suddenly become very sick. She rushed him to the V-E-T and he has had blood tests. They are not sure if he was attacked by the seizure monster or something else. Right now he is home and Auntie Kat is staying right by his side.
Soooo....we need some emergency prayers, healing vibes and pawsitive energy to help Merlin get better. Can you please help? We all know how powerful the power of the paw can be! Thank you all in advance for your help. I will keep you posted on his condition.
Here are some pictures of Merlin, the magic cat....He is a VERY sweet boy. He is a Ragdoll cat, so he is a BIG cat! Look at those pretty blue eyes.

Here he is showing off his best relaxation and stretching positions.

Thanks again, my friends! Let's hope we have some good news from Auntie Kat soon.

Love,

Skye
