Rainbow Bridge

For all of you who check out the blog, Teddy went to Rainbow Bridge today. He made it through the surgery okay, but the dogtor called and said that just before we were to leave and pick him up that he went into cardiac arrest. He did cpr but couldn't pull him back.

Needless to say we are devastated. We knew this day would come, but we just weren't prepared for it to be today. We are professing Christians, and can't help but feel that God had His hand in the situation. I don't think Randy nor I could make the difficult decision that so many have had to do; instead He simply took Ted to be with Him.

No doubt we will see him again. Do dogs have souls? Debatable. But animals were important enough to our Heavenly Father that Proverbs 12:10 says, "The righteous man regards the life of his beast (animal)." He knows that we loved Teddy with all our hearts. In fact his full name is Theodore Gabriel Earnest. Theodore means "gift from God" and believe me, he was that and so much more. About seeing him again--well, I believe in Heaven, God will want us to be happy and we will want our baby (babies) with us for eternity.

We love all of you and thank you for your furiendship. We will be back on as we have a new addition to the family. She's a cutie-patootie and know that Ted will fill her in on all the family secrets and tricks that he knows. Thank you for your patience during this time...

We love you, sweet baby boy...

Monday is Quickly Approaching

Seriously, mom is dreading the actual surgery not so much as the thought of a fluffy 13 1/2 year old doggie being put under anesthesia. This dogtor was the first to kinda fuss about Ted's weight. He's always been chunky but he's always been playful and active too. The owner we bought him from at 7 weeks said he should be a lap dog and might weigh 17-19 lbs. WRONG!!! His last weigh in was a little over 24 lbs, but he has hit 30+ in his heyday. Some said that was because he was neutered at a good age, but the people we got him from said that some just get bigger than others, and Teddy would be "an other"...

On the positive side, Momma and Daddy both have noticed that I've turned more loving and willing to snuggle with us the last couple of days. Maybe he is sensing the impending procedure.... I've told him all his furiends were thinking about him and that the playground can't be without it's double-naught spy for long so he's gonna have to get well soon!!

Well, we're gonna sign off for the evening. Entertaining blog as always, Foley & Pocket!!! Try to keep Pocket from getting cat-nipped again :)

All I Need To Know About Life I Learned From Spock

Live long and prosper =/\= Emotions are most illogical =/\= One raised eyebrow is worth a thousand words =/\= Vulcans never bluff =/\= The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few =/\= Never mind meld with strangers =/\= Having is not so pleasing a thing as wanting; it is illogical, but it is often true =/\= There's no such thing as a Vulcan death grip =/\= As you go out and greet the universe remember: when puzzled, just say, "Fascinating"

As for me... Mom has always wondered what a Borg assimilation of me would be like... Daddy says not to worry. I'd bark so much the Borg wouldn't bother with me.

Bark long and prosper.

Monday Musings

Today is another rainy, dreary day. When it's bad weather, the animals aren't prone to running around the neighborhood. When they don't trespass on MY property, I have nothing to bark at. Believe me, it makes for a very boring day, not to mention taking away my fundamental right to bark-n-guard MY property from intruders!

Well, now that all my griping is out of my system, I can go on to other things. It's looking like more and more of the core heart and soul of Cyberland are making profiles at the new gathering place. It is pawesome to see so many coming and making profiles there. Some are maintaining dual citizenship, and that's quite alright by me. I can understand that some don't want to leave, and I don't fault them for not wanting to sever ties. Mom thought the best for us would be to delete before we got deleted because she was getting ready to go all spider-monkey jacked up on Mountain Dew all over somebody's rear end if she didn't voluntarily delete... Don't make her angry. You wouldn't like her when she's angry :)

It seems that it's going to remain a quiet day. We can only hope the sun will shine (even for just a few minutes!!!) tomorrow and I will be free to bark again. It could happen!

Our Tribute to Foley & Pocket

Here’s the story, of a tiny Yorkie

Foley’s mission was beginning to unfold

Storming castle gates and stand-ing up to Prince-ass,

This girl is very bold;

Here’s the story, of a girl named Pocket

And she’d pee and poop in places that were wrong

Along side Foley Pocket made the perfect foil

For which we’ll sing this song;

‘Til the one day when the sisters called for justice

And they knew they couldn’t make the time for lunch

That this duo must somehow form a Brigade

That’s the way we all became the Monster Bunch

The Monster Bunch, The Monster Bunch

That’s the way we became The Monster Bunch

It's been an eventful 24-hours, hasn't it? The fur is really flying over all this mess. As much fun as it is to see everything happening (such as finding out who your real furiends are), it will be nice when everything settles down.

Daddy had yet to see my blog, so we're giving him a look around now. He thinks it's a little strange for a doggy to be out blogging, but we're not exactly normal. Mom has to remind him every once in a while that he knew what he was getting into when he married Momma. And then we get the usual "rolling of the eyes"....

Well, Mom said we're posting this and then taking the evening off. We'll catch up with everypup tomorrow. Have a good rest of the day! Lhasa love to you all.

It's Finally Happened.

We were so happy, so relieved. Note I said "were". We thought we just might escape the DS controversy unscathed. That was not to be the case.

Mom checked our page this morning and Chewie, the sister to Cute-Cute, left this on my comments: Hi Teddy. I always wonder whenever I see your pic. Is this your real look ? To be honest, I feel kind of scared looking your all your pictures. Perhaps, you might consider doing something about it. No offense ok, this is furiends opinion. But it is still up to you.

Well, as Mom said, her "mama bear" came out and Teddy isn't taking this lying down. He rebutted: Yes it's my real look, and I'm very proud of it. If it scares you, look elsewhere. A "real" furiend would be a furiend regardless of "looks", so I'm not too worried about it or you.

Remember, this is documented on my page, even if the Lollipop deletes Ted's comment. So, part of us would love to tell Prince-ass what transpired, but I'm feeling that just blogging about it is giving both of us the catharsis we needed. (Mom was paying attention in English Class a thousandy years agol!!!) Sticks and stones and all. Anyway, thank you for putting up with today's entry. Lhasa love to you all!
