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!

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...

(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!

Special Delivery!

We were so excited Friday afternoon! We got a package in the mail from our budz Waylon and Willie! Just look at all the cool stuff in that box! We just love our new stuffies. Well, in all honesty we have loved the Santa stuffie a little too much but that other stuffie is still "hanging in there". We have had the bestest time hiding and finding the Milk Bones too! Do you see that little figurine? It looks just like a little tiny one of us! Our Mom said that the Trail Mix was awesome too. She wouldn't share with us so we told her she couldn't have any of our Milk Bones either! Thanks again Waylon and Willie! You and your family are the bestest!

Mom finally got around to putting up our Christmas tree tonight. She and our youngest furless brother hung all the ornaments and I supervised while Ozzie enjoyed a long winter's nap. They decorated the tree with the "old" ornaments this year instead of the standard Hallmark collection. Our youngest furless brother insists he likes it this way so much better. Most of these old ornaments were from our Mom's Aunt's collection. We don't really care too much about all that though. We are just ready for Santa Paws to come and bring us stuff!
