  1. Hi my name is Piper! I thought I'd introduce myself cuz well... I don't think Missy will... Anyway here's My story! I came to live with Missy and mommy and daddy this past Saturday night! See mommy and daddy had agreed to foster me cuz I needed a home. Yeah the rescue place where mommy volunteers told her about me. See I was found as a stray down in SC, they don't know how long I was out on my own... I do but I ain't tellin! It sure was long enough to get in Really bad shape though... I was totally depleted they say~ I don't know what that is, but I sure was hungry... mommy says you can

Hubby took our next door neighbors trash bins around and forgot to close our gate. I have a phobia and always look out to check it whenever I let the terriable two out for a wee and play time...This time to my horror it was OPEN and they were headed down the path but at the end our other neighbors house.......They must have thought they were going for another walkie and happy as Larry about it......... They stopped and look back like in innoc

  4. It's been a long build from scratch but happily we can say it's 99% finished and only a few minor extra's to add as we get time. Starting from scratch in a very, very old house is no joy...nothing is square and floors are never level...but hey you work with what you got. The ugly green suite was installed by my hubby over 45 years ago and was still in complete working order but it didn't fit our needs any longer....plus washing the baby's was a back breaking effort in the tub and I won't even go into the slow immersion heater that took a hour to preheat just to have a hot water......Also

  5. Oh Aunties I was having a pretty good bday week, the rain even stopped then it happened... Yup my tummy acted up again this morning. Mommy's been trying everything she can think of to make me feel better today, I didn't even want to go for a walk.. all I want to do is go out and eat grass... So I did... Lots of times. But this last time was different, you'll see why! I was innocently chomping on my grass when I heard it... Could it be Lizzy???! I'm On It!! Oops how'd that happen?? Mom always wonders why her Angel is on the ground.. Don't tell her Aunties!! Oooh I'm go

Missy Says she's going for moral support... should I be suspicious??? it's pouring down rain, and we All know Missy won't go out into the rain.. I learned the hard way, I stayed out in the rain and worse when I was on my own so I don't care and me an mommy go out in it so I can do my business now, but not Missy... Anyway Missy kindly says I can borrow one of her raincoats to go to the dr... This Must be Missy's idea of a joke... Missy- What?? I seri

That's a lot isnt it....hope to look back in the coming months and say it was all worth it. Started last night sipping cinnamon tea instead of coffee..Good for arthritis inflammation ....... I'm a die hard all day long coffee-holic and this isn't going to be easy so let's see how bad the withdrawal is going to be this time around .....I've done this before and the first three days are the worst with headaches from hell and crankiness.

Pip and I couldn't understand what all the fuss was about really. Usually after breakfast mom takes us upstairs so she can play fix the picture on her computer all day....I'm a stickler for routine and mommie definitely wasn't on routine...It just wasn't normal I tell you...And I Don't Like Change ....no sir ree Mom forgets, so I tried telling her by sitting at the bottom of the stairs and talking in my

  11. We have been giving Mummy lots of kisses and cuddles. Its been a day since I had my topknot brushed and redone. I was such a good girl today, I sat beautifully while she put my hair up and gave me a lovely new bow. She said I make her smile.... she also looked at Donte and said you do too ? I thought I was her favourite... ? Donte was trying to pull it out when we having a buddle. But Mummy wasn't taking any rubbish off us today and told him to cut it out!

And Tara had a bit of a tizz when Dad went and got us burgers, but I was OK cos I knew he was coming back. We sat on the grass and all had burger. Although Mum and Dad's bits were huger than ours. Then we arrived!!! It was weird. Cos nothing sniffed right. But the beach is good, and our den is good. this is our fireplace. It is made of something called Marble. I can jump up onto the sofa, though I am not supposed to. hahah! And this is our

Dad tried to make me go out to the bin with him, but I wouldn't. I stood in the door and watched him get wet! Hahaha! Cato: No walk today. We were going to have an extra long sniffy walk with Mum. She said so. But now I am snoozing all day instead. Maybe tomorrow, with AuntieJane? Mum: no walking today. And Dad got called into work early, so they are missing him too. Oh well, at least

  14. I wanted to share one of my favourite toys. I love my frog, Mummy and Daddy bought it for me when we was on holiday last year. I think I'll pack him in my bag when we go on holiday this year. When Mummy puts me to bed, she always gives me toy to cuddle up too, but I don't take him to bed though, he's my play toy.

It was over 2 hours drive to the beach, but when we got there it was worth it... SEALS... Aunties, SEALS.... They were swimming in the sea very close to shore and while we were watching them, they were watching us!!! Lacey was talking to them.... Woof, woof, she kept saying. I think they knew what she was saying because they kept popping the heads up and looking at us... Can you see them?? Look... A seal Seal so close to us

  19. Cato: Horrid stinky mean and scary bath at Aunty Lesley's. Nice liver treats. Farts incoming. Now it is over, I don't mind so much. And Auntie Lesley has said I am not fat any more! Yippee! Tara isnt fat either, though she was much fatter than me. But Mum keeps glaring at Dad and saying 'Good. Now let us KEEP him that way!' And Dad keeps looking like a guilty person. So I guess there may be less treats. Dad is very nice at sneaking us stuff when he has his dinner killing zombies or exploring alien worlds. We just sit and stare at him for long enough and we get some d

  20. What with all the hustle-and-bustle of getting ready-for, packing-for, getting-to and participating in a show (and then packing-up and going back home), I am always exhausted on Monday and have a lazy day then. The dogs like it because I have lots of leisure time to play with them. Jack: It's warming-up and I got to spend 2 hours outside on my long-line. I caught one chipmunk and one mouse (that Mom knows of), but I spent most of it just sunning myself. Life is good. Gus: It's warming-up, so we got to go out on the deck today. I barked at a bunch of chipmunks but I couldn't ge

I love Oscar so much and mom and dad are always calling his name to get a reaction out of me because my ears slways perk up and I look around....but this time There he was! I was so excited and my tail was going ninety miles a hour and I crouched to play but Oscar was scared...I blame Abby for that, she was making these noises o

First, ya all know mommy had her eye surgery. me and Molly were scared, mommy and daddy left real early and we had to stay in our boxes for a long time. And when they came home mommy had a pirate patch on her one eye, yup she did. And daddy had to take care of us and it was waaay different. Mommy an me slept on the couch for a few nights.. see mommy wasn't supposed to move her head down in any way, it was hard.. so I told mommy she could use my grooming pillow and it helped her a lot!

She has been asleep since we got home. She is snoring. Anyway, this is before we went away, when we did a beach walk with Mum and Dad. It was raining when we got there. The red van is an ice cream van. No one was buying icecream in the rain, so he had his windows shut and his radio on, and he was reading the paper. Tara looks a bit grumpy, doesn't she? I think it was the wet wind

  25. Aunties It's horriable what's happened to me just horrible...... Someone has stole my knickers and I can't find them anywhere. Mom said it's probably Matt...who ever that is cause after my bath and mom was grooming me she said something about someone called Matt. I think there were two or more of them that stole my knickers cause she said it plural..Matt's. My tummy is so cold when I go outside to pee and I hold it and hold it till I am busting....but all I do is lay down so it can stay warm, it's horriable Aunties and I don't know what I'm going to do.

I went back to work 6 days after the op, but after being at work for 3 half days, I had to get in touch with the doctor again as I wasn't feeling well. She gave me some more tablets to help with the bleeding and I had a few more days off work. I didn't realise how much I needed those days off until I took them. I worked my first full week last week and I feel so much better now ? Some more good news..... that I'm very proud of..... The we

It looks like mud, but really it is just hard dry earthy stuff now. A bit disappointing, really. Dad didn't wobble and slide at all! We had a good fight half way along the tunnel. Tara picked the same spot for a rumble last time, too. Can you see Dad? he woz slinking off into the shadows, showing Tara some ninja techniques. I don't ninja. I am too much of a gentleman.

She made me sit outside the catflap looking in all morning (Mum: 20 mins) and tortured me with treats (Mum: a calcium bone treat on the floor 2 feet inside the catflap), and it was raining!

He wouldn't even show an interest in my stick wot I gave him. So today is all about ME and my AWESOME SUPERMODDELLYNESS. And then Mum says she is going to squeeze a bit of flowery stuff in after, if there is room. But there won't be, cos my wonderfulness will fill up everything and there won't be any room left. A very insolent pigeon. This is me and the wooden squirrel. Cato couldn't even be bothered to walk over and

  38. OK (says Mum) think we have to do this one a bit differently, since they can't agree who won The War. So I will speak first, setting the scene, as it were, and then they will each get a turn to comment on each picture. But before we start, I want to reassure you that no Shih Tzus were harmed in the making of this Epic, and they have both spent a lovely afternoon snuggled up with Dad on the sofa, watching the England v Wales footie match. So Peace was restored. Since the weather was rather iffy (warm, humid, overcast and dull) we decided to go to the park with the PingPongPavillio

So she couldn't come with us today, cos she needs her paw for the weekend, when she is going away without us. By herself. For 2 days The disagreement was cos Mum thought it was too hot, and Dad didn't. That meant we had to walk Dad by ourselves. It is a lot of responsibility, you know. We took him to the park with the PingPongPavillion, cos it is square and he can't get lost. And then we ran about. But it was a bi

We was alright for a little while and then we both decided to run off ahead. Mum blew her whistle, and called us. Dad called us...

We woz both pretty desperate, and hauled Mum along quite sharpish! Once we were at Our Field, we just had to RUN and SNIFF and BOUNCE. Even Tara couldn't ruin it. See the grasses and stuff all leaning sideways at the back of the picture? That is how windy it woz. Mum nearly got blown over! Racing

It was going to be a beach walk in the salt marshes, but the tide is in. so we have to go somewhere else. maybe the big lake. we get to decide when we eat the sausages!!!

I've already picked a name for him, after one of my favorite children's books. 'Where The Wild Things Are' call name Max. To my surprise and delight, Pam who bred these wonderful puppies loved the idea of a wild theme...so they became the 'Wild" bunch. Max was know as Evan at that time, and this is his 3 day old pics taken with Grandma Pam. It would still be 3 1/2 months till we got to go and pick him up,

You don't know the meaning of "fun" until you have to clean the windows of a car that's encased in ice 3 times in a row - once to get the DH and I to the Dr. for our annual physicals, once when I left to go home and check on the puppies, and yet again to go pick him up. Fortunately, by the time I went to get him things were switching-over to snow so I didn't have to deal with MORE ice forming on the windshield while driving.

Elle has been moved to the upstairs dog room and she's not happy. I assume that eventually she and the Poodle boys will stop barking at each other. NaNa and the Musketeers are now in the kitchen. NaNa is happy because she can run around the kitchen until the boys squeak and then she can get right back in with them to feed them.

Lots of pics of me having fun, and Cato getting squished. So it is all good. And Mum says that since I chewed the last wooden brush handle, I am not allowed another. Not fair! I only chewed it cos I LOVE it so much, and it was just lying there, not brushing me. If it had done what it was supposed to, I wouldn't have chewe
