Till we meet in God's Garden

Our dearest friend LacyLuLu really left her pawprint on our hearts. Words cannot express the saddness we have been dealing with. We know she was a dear friend to everyone. Our Lil Black Beauty friend will be just as adored and loved in God's Garden as she was by all her family and friends. This was our most favorite of all our favorite LacyLuLu pictures.

.

Till we meet in God's Garden enjoy your family & friends who are there to greet you.

Our kittie kousin's

We have Fritz on our mind's today

Then we realized we've never introduced our kittie kousin's

They are really tolerante of us doggies

but ya know, if they don't run then all's cool

They grew up with our doggie cousin's

Lovie & Bella who are playing in God's Garden till...

Nala is our newest cousin living with the kittie kousin's

(bad mommy ~ no pics on the computee?)

Well here are the kitties in their respective order of joinning the famileee

left to right

Pebbles ~ the most flexible trusting gorgeous eyed kittie we have ever seen

Pounce ~ the stray that doesn't particularly care fur indoor living

Candy Cane ~ we furgot her story but her name came about cos she holds her tail like a candycane & well it's striped

Sure would like to bark loud right now to see them jump

But mom said 'NO' sheeesh she's no fun

Y

Tag we're it!

We're catching up on things since we had our computee problems

Tagged we were by Sammy Smiles

.
Hmmm lets see what is safe to share...
.
Me Crikit ~ when I was a puppy mommy & daddy fed me out of a flying saucer (frizbee). I only caught it when playing so they would feed me but I had trouble teaching them, so chewed up my saucer but smartie me remembered my command "go get your saucer" meant they were gonna feed me if I brought it to them. So now (Pacco knows this already) I peefur a plastic peefurably pink big huumon cereal bowl fur my food and when I want food I carry it around everywhere, sometimes I knock it against my pawrents legs or I slam it on the floor to make a really loud noise if they ignore me. Usually it works and I get food ~ didn't get to be 54 lovely pounds waiting fur them to decide when to feed me :)
.
Me Sparky ~ If mommy raises her voice cos one of us did something wrong I freeze just (like those people who do tricks on Echo's freeze post) because I am certain that lets her know 'it wasn't me' cos I'm not running fur cover, 90 % of the time it works! Even if I did pawticipate in the wrong doing :)
.
Me Ginger ~ Mommy & Daddy says I have the traits of a fox and I collect things fur my hidden fox den in mommy's kitchen corner. I review & pawtect my treasures 24/7
.
Our Mommy ~ she is an extreme compassioneesta fur all creatures that one day when she realized a newly born baby lizard fell into the trash receptical she returned the bin to the backyard and openned the lid so the baby's pawrents could lead it to safety. We love to chase them but she gets mad at us when she catches us. She became attached when a widdle bitty baby jumped on her hand while she was planting and jus sat there while she talked to it. Now she trys to pawtect every single one of them that wish to live in our yard.
.
Our Daddy ~ he is the bestest ball launcher, ball thrower and football playing daddy ever and he plays a long long time everyday even in the house when we can't go out.
.
okay that was 5 now since we've been behind on who had done this we gotta command fur you!

Daddy left again!

The house is just not the same when daddy goes away. His job must have changed cos he never use to leave us. Mommy doesn't sleep well when he travels which, means neither do we! Plus mommy doesn't play outside with us as much as daddy does. At least it's only over night this time. We asked him to visit our friendzees while in Dallas and take ya'll some treats but he was a pawty pooper and said not this time. sheeeesh

~

Here's daddy giving us instructions to follow while he is gone.

We are listening intently.

Then he played some ball with us fur a few minutes

Gave us the 'I Love You' speech

Then we walked him to the car

This is me Ginger ~ my last bit of daddy love till he gets back

And me again watching in disbelief that daddy is really leaving!

Now I must keep watch till he returns.

Mommy says she really loves the next two pictures of me cos it shows my purdy physique especially my ears and my extra shiny black back stripe. Can you see it? Bet the pics woulda looked better if she would stop using the phone camera.

Anyroo, don't mommy know this is a serious duty?

After all daddy did give me instructions.

Hurry home daddy I miss you already.

Y

here's the info friendzees

Hi Mack! ~ Hi Kai! ~ & any Friendzees curious...

.
Here's our Lounger bed info and it's the same company that made our big pillows we got fur Christmas! Mommy found the Lounger's at Sam's fur $22.00 each and they are big, we think even you giant doggies (hint hint) would truly enjoy having a pillow to put your head on and a pillow to rest your back paws on when stretching! That's what I do! cos remember I am 54 lbs! Daddy found the big pillows with smell good wood chips included in the fluffy filler at a Tractor Feedstore (if mommy remembers right) fur a fabulous price of $8.95 each, on sale of course. They are the most squishiest, cushiest beds we have ever had in all our years! Oh and the only one's we don't chew & unstuff which makes mommy realllly happy. Plus they make them fur little doggies like most of our friendzees. Funny fact: Mommy curled up on one before she let us get on them jus so she could make sure they would be comfy! Silly mom she has her own bed and beside she don't let us on hers!

.
Oh ~ Zoo Crew ~ we can't get into your site or the DogLog and who knows what other sites!... plus blogger won't let us add or change any of our paw pals on our site fur days now either... bummer huh?!

pee ess ~ doesn't the model doggie look like Sophie?!

Y

SleepOver anyone? We got new beds!

We furgot to tell ya'll our big accomplishment!

Now that we have more new beds (woohoo) we got plenty comfy beds fur our friendzees to sleepover!

.

Lucky us! It came about cos Mommy & Daddy found this plastic suran type of stuff that you can put down on carpet to pawtect it. Fur the furst time since they purchased this home they let us go upstairs! Woohoo! Even if we're only allowed in the landing area and a small section of their bedroom it is a hugh paw forward fur us!

.

We gotta tell ya'll too that it was funny when they first said come on kids... we knew it was a trick cos we all know we are not allowed on the white carpet and we got eyes, the stairs were white! It took them coaxing us with chicken mmmmm! We were kinda freaked but when they showed us our new beds! oh you can only imagine our excitement! Plus to know where they are all night long is pawsome. Plus their room seems like summer all night long which, makes it soooo comfy to stretch out all night long. The only bad thing is we're not allowed to shake when we get up or mommy yells don't shake! sumtin about our fur flying... bummer but she now lets us shake in the hallway before we go down. I guess to let us wake up so we don't tumble. Mommy can be weird sumtimes. Oh and it sounds so weird to walk on it.

.

Mommy got so tired of taking our beds from the kitchen (our room) upstairs every night so she bought us more beds. Bad camera not showing there true beauty ~ beige & gold & brownMade by the same company who made our green striped pillows but these ones are Chaise Lounger's!Machine washable, the cushy filling is made from recycled plastic! Mommy still learning her new phone camera didn't take a good pic cos the beige/gold/brown is to blend our pawrents room.

I (Crikit) jumped over the white carpet to the bed the moment I saw them! See how big they are with lots of extra room?! wow... who wants to sleep over?

Guessing tally:
.
1 ~ new pup (that's cool)
1 ~ Marvin visiting with pinned ears (that's cool too)
1 ~ Chef’s visiting catsister Beauty (who might not think it's cool)
1 ~ A scary bear oh my!
4 ~ Ginger (Thank You fur your votes xo)
7 ~ Big Cat (no worries, we didn’t take any offense)
7 ~ Crikit (Thank You fur your votes smartie furs xo)
.
Well, when mommy first saw the pic she though ‘golly it sure is hard to get a good picture of my black beauty’s’. Yup! BIG Black Cat mommy thought at first glance. Sorry ya’ll who guessed cat but if it’s any consolation that’s what made mommy think of the guessing game.
.
Now, the lighting is so bad that you cannot see the eyes which, would of been the giveaway and one of you smarties mentioned jus that. Actually, mommy wasn’t sure if her black beauty was looking at the camera or away in this one cos she took both poses.
.
So now it’s between us beauties! Cos a couple of you smarties also mentioned you knew fur sure it wasn’t Sparky! That was a giggle fur sure.

Well, here’s the story: Mommy left our new bag of doggie food open and in reach at a time when 'I' happen to be reallllly hungry. So, I ate and ate and ate and ate till I got so full that when I tried to go upstairs (cos mommy & daddy has opened a little area up there to us this year and I’ll tell you the story later) focus beauty… anywho, I tried to go up the stairs and this is how far I got cos my way full belly weighed me down. Don’t laugh! okay you can laugh it is funny now...
.
Mommy took a picture fur proof to show daddy what a pot belly pig I turned into from my sneaky actions. Can you believe she called me that?! Ya’ll who picked Ginger probably did so cos of the propeller ears she sometimes has but those who chose Me Crikit were so right even though I agree I look like a big fat black cat. Until I lost my belly fat of course.
..
Sorry it took so long to recognize you smartie winners!
.
Congratulations! LacyLuLu, Abby & Jack, Col. Sam, Snowball, Girasol, KB, Rudolf & Goofy!

and thanks you all fur pawticipating friendzees Y

TGIF means...

date day fur mommy & daddy

~

nice fur them but hello mom we still need to visit our friends!

so mommy said we can go say hi and then trot over later to read up on all the adventures ya'll had since we been out with our issues.

Oh! mommy & daddy said we're gonna change to a faster service at the end of this month! woohoo cos the slow omputee limits our visits before mommy gets frustrated

and shuts down the computee.

Us doggies need to learn how to work it ourselves, right?!

~

So we'll see how many visits we can get in before they leave

Love Ya'll

Y

It's storming now

gotta stop the visiting till later...
golly thunderstorms scare us
how come all our friends in TX are getting snow but not us?
jus doesn't seem fair

Y

So Sorry

Sunday when daddy got the computee working we thought everything would be so great! We knew we had a lot of catching up to do with all our friendzees but...
.
Monday: mommy went straight to DWB News to find out about the community. We were so shocked to realize we were unaware of Charlie's health issues and Pica's journey to the bridge. So mommy went to visit Charlie & Opy and then spent a lot of time crying fur the loss of her Pica. Mommy seemed especially attached to Pica so we didn't get upset that she turned off the computee. It's always hard to lose a friend even though we will meet again in God's Garden.
.
Tuesday: mommy had to go get us dog food cos when she learned of Pica's journey she was too upset to go refill our food bin. So mommy ran errands and then prepared fur dad to arrive home so they could go vote in the Primary. They were away a long long time, so no blogging :(
.
Wednesday: mommy knew we needed to visit our friendzees and when she turned on the computee the Internet would not open. She called daddy and he said to do something but mom said 'lets jus wait kids till daddy fixes it again' but hello when he did mommy said her shows were on and we would have to wait till tomorrow! We jus think she's afraid cos of last time.
.
OKAY! so this morning we wanted to get on first thing and mommy left to who knows where but... guess what! when she came home she said she saw Opy's twin brother! we asked to see the pictures but hello mom no picture?! his name is Bruno and mommy promised to take a pic next time cos she sees him all the time but this time it was up close. Oh and then on the way home she was trying to catch a loose doggie in our neighborhood but it was skiddish and mom thought best to come home and fur us to pray it finds home soon cos it is raining and cold.
.
So here we are days later still way behind on visitin all ya'll. So Sorry
~
jus know we Y ya'll

MISSED Ya'll SO Much!

Ooooh we missed ya’ll

sooo very much!

Mommy was in an awful mood for a long time too & so were we!

We couldn't vist our bestest friendzees ever in the whole wide world!
.
We so sorry we haven’t been able to visit but mommy wouldn’t go to the library. She said it was too far away and the wait for a computee was really long when she went on the 15th to let ya’ll know we were having trouble. Daddy restricted us from using the computee till payday so he could buy extra virus protection. That’s what we think got us or maybe a hacker we just don’t know.
.
This is what happened on Valentine’s Day Feb. 14th to our major disruption… when mom got up and turned the computee on everything seemed fine. She opened up the Internet and clicked on our bloggie and for a few seconds everything seemed fine. THEN OMDoggie! The screen went blue and in the top left corner it said: Beginning physical memory dump
.
That’s all mom says she can remember even though she said there was a brief line of something above those words. Mom hit the button to turn off the hard drive (the button dad has always told mom don’t use unless absolutely necessary, hmmm this seemed necessary right?!) Well, it didn’t turn off and a funny noise was sounding soooo it was panic time and mom was screaming and pulling all kinds of cords out of the wall and computee cabinet. She called daddy but he didn’t answer his phone cos he was giving a huge presentation. Totally bad timing huh? Well, we knew mom shoulda waited fur dad to call back but bad mommy turned on the computee to see if our 'Go Back' software would do the trick……. Nope files started racing down the screen and mommy screamed and plugs were flying. She was really upset and we could not make her feel better. Golly, we knew this was bad cos we always know how to make mommy feel good. Then dad called and well he said what we already knew… he would check it out when he got home.
.
The same thing happened to daddy ~ document files went racing by so he used the button and turned it off too and we lost some files and some pictures. Mommy prayed lots and God answered. Mommy was so afraid she would lose our baby pictures but most of all the last pictures ever of her mommy before she went to rest in the Lord. However, God is good and mommy says we were given mercy and grace because those special picture files were saved. So dad went crazy yesterday and bought lots of stuff so we can be safe and have lots of different back-up disks and flash cards cos we don’t know which is truly the best. Any suggestions? We know there are lots of smart doggies that can help us in this area.
.
Well, we got lots of visiting to do. We need to announce the winners of the guessing game. We need to pick up some gifts from some of our friendzees but most of all ~ we need to Thank All of You's for being our family too. We appreciate the times ya’ll stopped by to check on us. Mommy says she wish she could just hug all of ya’ll sooo we had a BOW WOW and we’re gonna make a special award fur all of yous from us really soon. It's been stressful but we can't wait to start visiting first thing Y

.
Y Love Licks and a whole lot of wags and blessings to all of you’s xoxo
