Daddy's Tribute to Lady

Our Daddy is a newspaper writer. He goes to baseball and football and basketball and stuff like that and then writes stories about it so people who couldn't go to the game can read about it.

He wrote a story about loosing Lady and the people who decide what goes in the newspaper decided to put it in. Here's a link to it if you wanna read it. Caution: It may make your eyes leak.
Daddy and Lady's Story.

It is storming pretty big here in town tonight. Lady was always scared of thunder. Momma was saying that Lady won't have to be scared tonight.
Rest quietly sweet Lady.

Lady's passing

Lady went over the Rainbow bridge October 1st. She became so frail, lost her sight, hearing and most of her mind. She fell a lot and ran into the doors and walls all the time. Daddy said she wasn't really in there. We miss her, but we know that she is happy now, running free, playing in a field with Oscar Airdale and others who have crossed over.
Daddy was remembering when Lady adopted him. She showed up at his house about 16 years ago and just wouldn't leave. He had no choice but to let her stay. He knew he was her chosen one. They were pretty tight buds all those years.

Daddy's eyes have been leaky, but we've been helping lick up the drips. Bella is an extra good snuggler, and she has been putting in lots of overtime doing snuggle therapy.

Sorry we've been gone so long. Momma has been busy. Our Grandma moved in with us. Momma and Poppa built a room for her. She has her own mini kitchen and bathroom and everything. Its cool. Every now and then we get to go to her place, but mostly Momma sez no, that we should leave her alone. Of course, our cousin Buddy, Grandma's dog, moved with her, so she is here, too. Its been busy. We're all trying to figure out how we fit together with this new arrangement.

We're trying to figure out how to get Grandma to give us jerky treats more. Tee Hee!
Whoofs & Baroos to all you pooches. Love each other.

Scooter dog Eddie

I have taken up a new hobby! Mom and Dad got Maxi-Scooters. Not those little ones like the college kids ride around campus, but big ones. They asked me if I wanted to try riding. I said sure, but go slow. So, they tried with me in the drive way. That was okay, so we went around the block, and again, then down the parkway, then to Grandma's.
Last weekend we took a BIG ride 300 miles from home! Wow! It was great. When we got there, we met another scooter dog named Tipper. Tipper is a Yorkie and he rides in a pouch on his Momma's front.
I ride in a basket that's bungee'd onto the back seat. Momma got me Doggles which are okay, but I like them off just as soon as I get off the scooter.
Its way great fun. Its like the ultimate car window!
Barooooooooooooooo!

Vacation is done fur now.

We're back from our long vacation. It was great. We hiked and napped and Poppa grilled food outside that smelled mmmmm good! When Momma gets time after unpacking she says she will load some pictures so we can post them.

Hey, does anydog know Beanie the Beagle? They signed our guestbook We'd sure like to baroo at them but dont' know how to contact them.

Whoofs to ya'll.

Happy Independence Day!

We've been camping since last Friday! We came home so Momma and Poppa could do some laundry and restock the camper fridge.
Unfortunately, this year the Missouri State Parks folks won't let more than 2 dogs camp at a campsite unless they are like service dogs or something, or have their CGC (Canine Good Citizenship) certificate from the AKC. So, next week, we are meeting with Bella's teacher to have a pre-evaluation and see where we all stand. She is going to tell Mom what all we need work on. Then when Momma thinks we're ready, we will have to take a test.

I HOPE Eddie can find his glasses by then! I think he packed them away with the Christmas cards. That's about the only time he uses them, but he will prolly need them for the test.
Anyway, since only 2 doggies can go, Eddie has stayed at Gramma's. Lady, because she is so old a decrepittated is staying home and a dog-sitter comes by to take care of her a couple times a day. Gramma was a fraid to have her over in case something happened.
So, Me (Peaches) and Bella got to go camping. I sneaked up into Momma and Poppa's bed when they weren't looking! Tee hee!
Here's our Grandpeoples. They came and camped with us for part of our trip. We all took walks. They like to walk us. We like it, too. We'r glad they came camping with us. By the way, Bella says to tell you that she was NOT pulling that child along. He was just going too slow and she was trying to get him to go faster.
So, we're going back to camping soon. See ya'll later.
Peaches! Barrooooo!

Beagle Buddies and Camping

We met some nice beagles recently. We joined this Beagle Buddies group in our town. They get together once a month and let all the beagles run around together and play. Its really cool. Momma thought we would all run together like hunting beagles do in a pack, but instead, we all just sniffed everything for a long time. Then we trotted around together.

Here's some of us getting a drink. Recognize the fluffy one?? Tee hee! Its ME! Eddie!!! I am only half beagle, but they let me join in, too.

Here's Peaches doing what she does best... Sleeping! We were camping. Doesn't matter where we are, she manages to find a good place to snooze. She's not choozey when it comes to snoozey. Hee Hee. I made a rhyme!

Here's me, Eddie, with my new haircut on the way to camping. I know, I look kinda weird for a few days right after its cut. Its had a week's growth now. It looks much better.
Keep on woofin!
