Daddy been so busy and mommy too, they are taking care of Grammy. Papa Paul is fine and dandy and the new heart is perfect, no rejection. Nothing else is new except Titan and Sandy NEVER stop, OMD they go all day and all night...I am 10 and I play wif her too, but seriously they play all day and night.

Hello????

Zack Rabbit are you out there??????? Where oh where is my favorite bunny buddy???? He popped in this week on twitter to say....Zack if you're reading this....i miss you buddy! Zack has been caring for his plushateer for a few weeks now...i hope everything is ok and you are back to vlogging soon, mom says dey are da funniest fings she has seen in a long time...so get to vlogging ok? Plushateer...take care of yourself, hoping you are feeling better, mom is waiting for the next...

"it must be Tuesday" *waving*

UGH!!!!!

First off, I can not make this stuff up.....daddy's Grampy (the one we got the house from) passed away suddenly Monday night. Mom and daddy are dumbfounded, they can't believe this is happening...they went and visited w/Grampy on Monday morning and everything was fine, so much so they made plans to have lunch together on Friday... now they will still be having lunch with grampy on Friday but in a whole new context. Mom is going to stay with Grammy tonight so that she doesn't have to be alone...they were married 60 years.

Mom is at the hospital with papa getting his biopsy done...then they are off to the transplant survivor and donor party at MGH, papa is excited to be going and meeting other transplant patients. Mom has been trying to figure out how many days off she gets because of the death, one says 3 days , and another says 1....so confusing, i just want her home wif me.

Thanksgiving was a fun day, da pups out numbered da humans...we rule! Papa cooked all da food and i didn't get any...no fair i have to eat kibble on Thanksgiving. Mom slid me some later on, hehehhe....the food mom says was so good da silly humans were fighting over da stuffing, usually its da potatoes, but not dis year. The little kids had make your own sundaes for dessert, they loved it and they really added the works, snicker, reeses PB cups,reeses pieces, m&m's, chocolate sauce,ice cream..I'm tellin ya da works.

Happy Turkey Day

I iz so sorry dat I haz been neglecting my blog, but hey I haz been busy. I haz been taking care of mommy, she hurt her back ya know. Den she went wif papa to Boston to get his new heart checked out and guess what? Mommy hit the deck and papa laughed, and laughed hard. Mom gave blood about an hour before and well it caught up wif her cause…she went down, all da way to da FLOOR, she landed in her apple juice, the same juice they had just given her to feel better. Oops, heheheh…I mean mom I hope you are feeling better? The good news is when she passed out she had to go to the emergency room to be checked out before they would let her leave, and while checking her out they noticed she had an abnormal T wave in her heart, so she gots to have that looked into especially wif papas history. So der you have my past few weeks in a nut shell, I promise to write more later…..

Happy Turkey Day

Hi

Hello everyone,I am just stopping by to tell you i have not forgotten about you...mom has been on vacation and loving life..She is not looking forward to going back to work but nows it is only for a very short time, she only works 12 days this whole month...and only 14 in December. We love the new house and the yard is incredible. My new sister Sandy is well she is a ball of energy...i love her but girl take it down a notch or two. Titan is enjoying having the run of the new house and yard, he loves that he is trusted enough to run off leash. Annabelle got a barking collar, she was not very happy about it but mom and dad loved the decision. Annabelle has learned not to bark when the collar is on, and crazy girl she lets us put the collar on her. She is a good girl and we love her now that she is quiet. The new house is very quiet and dark at night, we can not see any street lights so it is just the lights from the house that lights the yard, mom is getting used to the darkness, me i don't mind i kinda like it dark and quiet. Dad has finished power washing the house, it looks great and new...the white looks new and fresh. Dad also power washed the thermometers off the house along with all the mold and dirt. Mom loves the way the house looks now. I have been outside alot lately cause we have had the nicest weather lately, its been in the 70's unseasonably warm for November.

Bristol & Rocky

RIP Bristol...Bristol was a litter mate/sister to my boy Titan; she crossed over Rainbow bridge on Wednesday from complications to Parvo...she was a sweet sweet girl

This is ROCKY, Titans daddy...yes they look exactly alike, you really can not tell the difference. Rocky is very sick and has a 50/50 shot of pulling through, he is sick with an unknown virus that presents itself like Parvo but is not. he is at the vet receiving antibiotic via IV vein. We are praying for Rocky and his 2 lil pups who tested positive for Parvo on Wednesday, the vet says everyday their chances increase...keep fighting guys, love you.

Our new House

We all love the new house especially me, I have such a big yard to run and play in, woohoo. Here are a few picyures of us just hanging out in the media room...

the Boys

the Girls

Me relaxing

the Boys again, different day same pose, hehehehe

Titan, as long as some of him is on the dog bed, means it's a comfortable place to sleep

Here are a few new pic of the house mom took today after they were finished cleaning. it looks like a whole new house and we are moving in in 2 days...woohoo moving day! Daddy was very surprised mommy cleaned most by herself, daddy was impressed!

house

Mom wanted me to check in and say hi it everyone and let you know we have been very busy getting things done over at the new house. Grammy and grampy moved out today and they are officially moved into their assisted living apartment. Mom and dad will begin moving in tomorrow morning after susan gets everything out of the house and into the dumpster. Mom has a lot of work ahead of her and she is doing it all alone, just her and daddy...no one wants to help and no one has offered either, oh well this is not the first thing they will do alone. I would help but mom says no way in puppiville are the dogs allowed to help. What could be better than 4 puppies helping you move? I will write more later mom says its nappy time and who am I to argue...bye.

Moving....

We are packing up and getting ready to move...We are moving on Halloween!!!! Mom says our first night in the new house will be on Halloween..oh I iz so excited I can not wait. We will not have any trick or treaters cause mommy sayz we live too far off the road, but thats ok cause we be in our new house. So forgive me if i no post too much I iz a packing puppy, I must make sure all my toys get to the new house and nothing is left behind.

Noooooo

I just spoke wif mom and she is not happy....

da white stuff is falling, da white stuff is falling...

dat wiould be snow...

snow? it's too early for da snow to be falling

new house and stuff

Mommy wants me to tell you that we should be in the new house in about 10 days or so. Mommy is hoping really hard that we can get in soon because she saw something on TV she was none too happy about...she saw snow in the forecast, snow!!! My ten year old bones are not happy about the weather either but what's a pup to do???? Cuddle under a blanket that is what I am going to do. Mommy will see to it I am covered and warm, toasty oasty. Titan on the other hand will come over and steal them away, I know that little rascal. He lost his tooth yesterday...Mom found it in the kitchen. Mom says she will save it, for what it is a tooth, you gonna collect all of them and make a necklace?? Yeah I didn't think so. Mom says we are getting our own room in the new house, I am so excited, I can hardly contain my butt wiggles. I am going to officially meet Sandy my new sister this weekend...Annabelle is going to meet her too, I really hope she likes her, cause she doesn't really have a choice. Mom says this is gonna work or someone is going on ICE status...prison term and trust me it is not a good thing.....ICE stands for isolation status, ugh!

Mom is in Boston wif Papa this morning cause he had to go and have his routine biopsy done for his new heart to make sure there are no signs of rejection. Mom gave platelets while she was there...they asked her :"Are these direct donation to your dad?" Her reply..."No, anyone who wants them can have them, I'm done with them."....she is so sarcastic sometimes but I guess it runs in the family or maybe she is sarcastic and now Papa is too because he got her blood, hmmm? Makes a puppy wonder???? Mommy making Papa sarcastic...I could see that happening, she can be overbearing at times, BOL.... OH? Hi mom *waving* i forgot you stop in and read this on occasion...hehehe i woof you....*boxer kisses....now where was I?Oh i was telling you about papa, he is doing great and walking more and more everyday, and doing laundry, BOL...what is it with the men in this family...y'all do laundry, don't even think this manly pup is going to help...I will accompany you to the washer, but I am not touching that laundry detergent it smells fru fru....Hi papa you not fru fru just the laundry stuff...I know you are stalking me again and seeing what I am up to...nothing much just wasting time....
