Awe...brotherly love...

Hey!

Just thought I would let everyone know we are still alive and kickin'. Mom has been lousy keeping up with our blog but she does continue to read everyone's for us. Hope you are all having a blast getting ready for Christmas. We helped Mom put up our tree a few days ago. She didn't put her pretty tree skirt out this year though, just an old blue bed sheet. She made some remark about being able to just throw the sheet in the washer if I decided to hike my leg on it. Guess I should probably give that a try before too long. Would hate to ruin my reputation.

Too Darn Hot!!!

You know it's hot when you catch a squirrel doin' this! I couldn't get him to jump around and run for nothin', he just laid there. And he was on a low branch too! I could of had him!

Wonderful News!

Scroll down to the end of our blog today and you will see a wonderful picture! The lovely Skylar is home! It is always so heartwarming to see a happy ending! We are so excited for Skylar and her family! Woot!

Lets Help Bring Skylar Home

Hey everybody---please scroll all the way down to the bottom of our page and watch the slide show about this beautiful pup named Skylar that someone stole! Maybe you have seen her. It would be a great help if you would copy and paste this to your blog too so we can get the word out and get this beautiful girl home! She is a mommy and her puppies really miss her!

We've Been Busy!

I am finally giving Mom a chance to help update our blog. They just got back from Annapolis MD for our oldest furless brothers graduation from the Naval Academy. Ozzie and I got to stay at the vet's. We were not real thrilled about that. We got to stay in a cage for twelve days while they were in the lap of luxury. Not exactly fair if you ask me. I am going to let her share a few pictures of their week with you. Ozzie and I are very proud of our oldest furless brother! Congratulations Ensign Justin Garrett Jacks!
Oh, by the way, just so you know, that house is where the parents were chilling while we were living in that cage at the vet's office!

Weekend Blahs...

I am doing my best to keep myself out of trouble while trying not to be completely bored out of my brain. Rocky started up with his darned old seizures again last night so he is not feeling at all like playing with me tonite. Life is just not complete without a rousing round of bitey face! I hope that he feels good enough to play again by in the morning. At least it was a whole month between seizures this time! Hope all you pups are having good weekends!

Goodbye, Grandpa...

We are very sad to report that our Grandpa passed away today. But we know that he is in a much better place and will never have any more pain. Thanks to all of you who remembered him in your prayers. Please continue to pray for our grandma, she is really going to miss him!
Love,
Ozzie, Rocky and Mom

No Fair!

I don't think it is fair that Rocky got a nice new collar! So, I took care of the problem!
We would also like to think all of you for your continued prayers for our Grandpa. He is a long way from being "out of the woods", but was a little improved today! We will get a report from his lung doctor tomorrow and will get you an update!

Ozzie

Please Pray for Our Grandpa

This is not the best picture of our Grandpa, he really is a happy fellow when he is feeling well. We just wanted to share a visual so you would know who we were talking about. Grandpa is very sick and in the hospital. His COPD has gotten very bad. We appreciate your prayers for him and our Grandma. She is really having a tough time dealing with his illness. Mom will try to update the blog over the weekend and let you all know how things are going.
Thanks for your prayers!
Ozzie, Rocky, and Mom (Tammy)

Updates and other news...

My mom wanted me to be sure and tell you all that she very much appreciated all the good thoughts and prayers you sent up for our Grandpa. He is doing much better today and will probably be moved out of ICU and into a regular room. He may be at the hospital for a few more days though.
When she got back from sitting with Grandpa at the hospital today guess where I got to go? The V-E-T! Can you believe that? I didn't even get any fair warning either. It just happened! Dad was petting me and said "Hey, what's that on Rocky's hind quarter? And Mom said "What?" and then the next thing I know BAM! I'm on the examining table! The spot didn't look quite like the picture shown here when Mom took me in. It was just a raised spot with all the hair off of it. It was a fairly large spot and Mom was concerned it might be ring worm. The doc said it could be, but it didn't test positive for that. He gave me some antibiotics and some cream to put on it though. He said he wanted to see me back if it doesn't get better or if I get more spots. Then he will do a biopsy...
I did get a new collar out of the deal though. When Mom was getting ready to take me to the vet she couldn't find a collar here at the house that fit me. Can you believe she had the nerve to ask the Vet's assistant if they had any big collars that would fit my "fat" neck? The nice lady was quick to correct Mom though. She told her my neck was not "fat", it was muscular. So there! Anyways, I will keep you guys posted on what happens with this spot and I will also give you updates on my Grandpa! Thanks again for all your thoughts & prayers!

We are still here!

We told Mom that one post a month was not gonna cut it! This is getting ridiculous! We made her take a fresh picture of us to put up so that you could see we were still alive anyways!
Things have been pretty busy around here lately though, so we will cut her a little slack. Our dear Grandpa is back in the hospital. This is the second time since the first of the year. He has COPD. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers for us.
In better news though, our oldest furless brother will be home for Spring Break in a couple of days. We are really looking forward to getting to spend some time with him. Hopefully Mom will get some pictures to post while he is home this time. Geez, it's like pulling teeth...
Before we go, we want to know if any other pup out there uses that PediPaws thingy. We got one from Santa (no cool treats this year) but we haven't used it too much yet. If any of you have one do you like it? The jury is still out here.
Well, we will catch you later. With any luck we will be talking to you again before APRIL!
Ozzie & Rocky

Whatever....

Mom says she would have more time to keep up with our blog if I would behave myself and act like a gentleman. She's been whining because she had to spend the better part of the evening taking her cd collection out of their cases and putting them in her big cd case. I can't help she kept her cd's stacked in my favorite leg hiking spot, geez...
Later,
Rocky
(Note from angry Mom---my cd collection was stacked (neatly I might add) on the lower shelf of my stereo stand! He needs to get some manners...)

Happy New Year!

Mom wouldn't get us any of those cool horns to blow, so I had to improvise!
Later---
