We all want to wish everyone a very Happy Easter! May the joy of the Lord's resurrection be with all of you. As you can see, the Easter Bunny also made his way to our house. I don't know why my Easter basket is on Daddy's bed, but Daddy must have found it this morning when he picked up the back yard before he and Mom went to church.

Before I begin, Daddy, Mommy and I would like to thank everyone who sent cards, left comments or wishes after Chloe's passing. We miss our little girl, and it meant a lot to us to know people were thinking about us.
I also have an announcement to make. Now that I'm taking over the blog, Aunt Pat will now be known as Mom, or Mommy. Mommy may have been Pathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06884595224493605462noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6337899413791020979.post-44415188344436069102013-01-05T21:28:00.000-05:002013-01-06T12:51:42.925-05:00Chloe 2004-2013
I'm sad to report the sudden passing of Chloe, who blessed us with her lively spirit from the time of her adoption in 2006 until this morning. According to her adoption papers, she was born in 2004.
Chloe was fine on Christmas, but this past Thursday, she started with vomiting, and not eating. She still seemed to have her usual get up and go, so we Pathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06884595224493605462noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6337899413791020979.post-68525093654128091192012-12-25T13:44:00.001-05:002012-12-25T13:44:27.514-05:00Merry Christmas!
Freddy, Aunt Pat, Daddy and I want to wish all of our friends, relatives and readers a very Merry Christmas! It's been very hectic around here, getting ready for the big day. First was a stop at our fabulous groomer, to get ready for our formal portrait that you see above. Note the snazzy bandannas, and the bows in my hair.
Then, of course, Aunt Pat does a lot of Pathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06884595224493605462noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6337899413791020979.post-53887279783053873272012-11-22T20:34:00.001-05:002012-11-22T20:35:11.266-05:00Happy Thanksgiving!
Freddy and I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving. We have a lot to be thankful for. We have good friends' family who love us; a nice home and good food. We're very thankful that Aunt Pat made a big turkey, in a roasting pan that was a little too small. We're also very thankful that it was such a warm day, that Aunt Pat and Daddy could open the windows to let Pathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06884595224493605462noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6337899413791020979.post-70843625239562157212012-10-31T20:06:00.000-04:002012-10-31T20:06:17.807-04:00Happy Halloween!I bet you thought I'd say something silly, like Happy Howl-oween.

One year ago on this date, Freddy moved in! We're so happy he's here. I really love having someone else to do my bidding, er, someone to relax with. Freddy and I clicked right away when we met. He was very sweet and wanted to play. It's been a great year as well. Thanks to our Groomer, D, we got to meet Freddy's family. They're lovely people, and we enjoyPathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06884595224493605462noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6337899413791020979.post-44368491368804998612012-09-07T20:38:00.001-04:002012-09-07T20:38:57.359-04:00Inspired
Since the Olympics, I've been inspired to conquer one of my fears. Well, not a fear, really, more something I dislike. Water. I still don't like getting rained on, and I don't like getting squirted with the hose, especially when Freddy plays with it. But, I've become interested in swimming!
I started off slowly. I sniffed around the pool and sniffed inside Pathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06884595224493605462noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6337899413791020979.post-74701712583767787542012-08-05T12:44:00.000-04:002012-08-05T12:44:30.035-04:00The Olympics, Really?For the past week or so, we've been getting glimpses of the Olympics on television, and I haven't been impressed. Badminton and Ping Pong are considered Olympic sports, but not Baseball. Really? I think the Olympic organizers really dropped the ball on this one. Although it's been nice to see the US athletes doing well, there's a big aspect missing from this event.

Well, the last few days have been a big relief weather wise. The temperatures have been cooler, and, as you can see, I went to the beauty parlor ,err, Groomer, who did her usual magic! I feel so much better. It was so nice to see my friends and share secrets with my Groomer. And no, I don't divulge what we talk about, because what happens at the groomer, stays at the Pathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06884595224493605462noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6337899413791020979.post-851910123643357802012-07-12T20:31:00.001-04:002012-07-12T20:45:49.292-04:00There's No Place Like Home!
This special guest post I dictated to Daddy, instead of Aunt Pat. She's fine, but sometimes I like to give her a post or two off to keep her fresh. Anyway, the hot weather continues! Friday and Saturday are supposed to be in the 90's with some rain possible on Saturday. Freddy loves to hang out in the pool which he did today during our visit to his family's house.

We hope everyone had a lovely Independence Day holiday! We had a nice day. Freddy's family and Sarah's mom came over for a cookout. We had a great time. Plenty of tummy rubs for all. Plus, Aunt Pat dropped a hamburger roll on the floor that Freddy scooped up. Not to be outdone, Sarah knocked over a hamburger and a turkey burger on the floor.

We hope everyone enjoyed their Memorial Day weekend! We've been keeping busy, enjoying the nice weather with friends and family. Freddy's family is fostering a new dog, a yellow lab named Gloria, but they've been calling her Ginger. She's very sweet, loves to dance with the humans and loves laps nearly as much as I do.

Although we do have a lot of fun here, every day we have work to do.
Sarah is still with us while her mom recuperates from her surgeries, and
she's been a real sport. Sarah has pitched right in when Daddy and
Aunt Pat do their chores. Like, changing bedsheets. Sarah likes to
jump up on the bed when Daddy or Aunt Pat have just Pathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06884595224493605462noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6337899413791020979.post-402416441727837842012-04-22T14:45:00.002-04:002012-04-22T14:45:47.054-04:00This is How We Roll
Yes, this is how we ride. We're not in some tricked out van like some people drive.
This is the Petpalooza truck Aunt Pat saw at a craft show she did last weekend. Sarah, Freddy and I prefer a more...understated vehicle. Who needs a big slobbery head on ones car when you have overwhelming cuteness inside?
We've seen the stares, and the smiles. Pathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06884595224493605462noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6337899413791020979.post-9329286909960381822012-04-02T19:48:00.001-04:002012-04-02T20:56:48.582-04:00We're Famous!!!
Wow! A lot has been going on since my last post. We've got a furry
guest who's staying with us while her human is in the hospital. She's a
Lab Samoyed mix named Sarah, and she's 7, so she's our age. It's so
nice to have another girl around the house! Freddy's great, but there
are just some things a girl wants to talk about with another girl.

Yes, I know we're a day late, but we were rather busy yesterday. We hope everyone had a lovely day, and that the luck of the Irish was with you. And no, Daddy didn't put any Guinness in our water bowls. We were exhausted! Aunt Pat had a craft show yesterday, so she put me, err Daddy was in charge.

No, Aunt Pat isn't mad at Daddy. I'm referring to my dear brother Freddy. I love him, I really do, but sometimes he can be a little annoying. I like a slow start to my morning. Some mornings I love to stay in bed with Aunt Pat and enjoy a nice tummy rub. But, Freddy's an early bird, err, dog. He's up promptly at 6:15, jingling his tags. Once he shakes Pathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06884595224493605462noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6337899413791020979.post-83123989398434660802012-02-11T21:34:00.000-05:002012-02-11T21:35:06.392-05:00Groundhog Day is a Hoax!
Yep, you heard it here first, ladies and gentlemen, the holiday we know as Groundhog Day, and it's weather forecasting rodent are a fake!

Daddy and Aunt Pat took me to the Vet today. I got a shot for distemper and didn't even flinch! Of course I didn't flinch. My temper is quite wonderful, thank you very much. Granted, I didn't appreciate the doctor looking in my ears or at my teeth, but I was a good girl. It was so good to see our friends at the Vet's office again.

Aunt Pat took Freddy and I over to see his Breeder/first people yesterday. Thankfully it got a little warmer before we left the house, so we could spend a little time outside. We've been spending a lot of time huddling for warmth...actually it's not that cold inside the house, we both like this dog bed and I really wanted to lay in it, too!

We hope everyone is having a wonderful 2012! Our New Year's celebration was quiet. We were all in bed early. I didn't want to be up when the ball dropped. I'm just looking out for Freddy, you know. He's not stupid, but I didn't want any accidents happening with the television.

Santa came last night! I was so relieved this morning when we got up
and found this under the tree! No, not all of the gifts were for us.
There were some presents for Daddy and Aunt Pat beneath the tree, too.
We got lots of toys! Freddy was able to get the squeakers out of a couple of them not too long after we opened them. He was just so enthusiastic Pathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06884595224493605462noreply@blogger.com0
