Thank You
Thank you all for the warm wonderful welcome back messages. This is the best place to come to feel loved!
We have missed you all a lot too. Mama has been very down as she always is around the holidays. She tries very hard not to let it happen every year, but it still gets to her. She just loses interest in everything, and cant concentrate for very long, and gets really cranky. But it will go away soon. It always does. She just needs time.
Daddy has become a computer hog since we got xp and his more of his poker sites will work correctly now. He gets online around 6 am and stays all day and sometimes doesnt go to bed until midnight! He has cluster headaches that wont go away and wont believe its from sitting in front of this monitor too much!
I wasnt feeling too well on New Years eve. I got tummy sick and there were long worms in it. Mama freaked out and called my vet, but they were closed, so she called him at home.
He said just keep me calm and feed me normally. And of course to bring me in to the vet office the day after New Years.
So we went to see my doc the day after New Years and they did some tests that i REALLY didnt appreciate! And then we waited for the results. Finally the pretty lady came out and told mama that i have hook worms and gave her a pill for me to eat.
It was supposed to taste good. But i wouldnt eat it. So mama opened my mouth and forced it down and rubbed my throat until i swallowed.
But it wasnt all bad. Lots of people were in the waiting room with other dogs. Some of them told me what a handsome boy i am, and of course i gobbled up the attention!
And we met a beautiful Chow Chow who is 13 years old named Honey. She didnt seem 13. If we werent told her age we would have thought she was much younger because she was so playful.
And there was a gorgeous Newfinland who looked like a big bear and mama wanted to cuddle him. He just looked so loveable and so enormous!
And of course i left my nose prints on the aquarium at the vet office. Thats what its there for right?
There was a kitty in a carrier who was fussing the whole time and i kept trying to sneak over to visit with her, but daddy wouldnt let me. He said the kitty was upset enough, and i should leave her alone. I just wanted to say hi and tell her that my doc is awsome and she will love him.
We had to wait kinda long because someone brought in a chocolate lab who had been hit by a car. The whole waiting area got real quiet when they came in the door.
I dont know if everyone else was saying a little prayer for that lab, but i know me and mama were.
I loved the ride to the vet and back. When we crossed the big bridge, daddy said "Chopper look look!" and when i saw all that water i was mezmerised! I was frozen like a statue for the whole 2 miles across the bridge.
Then i did the same thing on the way home.
Mama thought it was funny.
And of course when we got home daddy cooked me a steak. MMM that was the best part of my day!
Big hugs to everyone
Have a super great NEW YEAR
We're Back (i think)
Hi Everyone,
Sorry we have been away for so long. Mama just has not been feeling too good.
Hope you all had wonderful holidays.
We have windows XP now but did not get the new computer that we asked Santa to bring.
Me and mama think Daddy spilled something in this keyboard. It is mighty sticky!
I FINALLY broke my old blue collar, so mama had to go buy me a new one. I was a nice black leather one and i looked real handsome in it. But i broke that one too! (my Pit-beagle alter ego you know!)
So now i have yet a third collar and mama has to check it every few days to see if its about to break too. She says this is getting old but im having a lot of fun!
We will try to be back on soon if mama can stand typing on these sticky keys. (She doesnt have much patience lately)
Otherwise, we'll be back after she buys a new keyboard, January 2,2009!
Happy New Year!
At the vet today... im saddened.
Chopper went to the vet today to get his nails cut.
He is just too strong and wiggly for mama to do it at home.
While we were waiting for our turn to be seen, a lady came in with her 8 month old chihuahua wrapped in a towel.
She sat a few seats away from me and we started chatting.
Her dog had been pregnant (intentionally)and the pups had died, and rotted inside the dog!
After the remains of the pups were surgically removed, the dog was left with sepsis. She has not eaten since her surgery and was there at the vet today to get IV fluids for dehydration.
This beautiful little dog couldnt hold its eyes open.
The lady was also telling me that everytime one of her chihuahuas has puppies her husband falls in love with all of them and keeps them.
Im very sad for that little dog tonight.
Thank you everyone
T.S. Hannah is gone from here now.
We are all ok. The yard and deck are a mess of leaves and small branches, but we have no damage.
Our power was only off for about an hour this morning.
We were prepared for much worse.
Thank you everyone for all your prayers that got us through this storm safely.
We are continuing to pray for all those still in Hannahs path.
Big hugs
Chopper (and mama)
T.S Hannah and then Ike. A 1-2 punch?
Our county, Middlesex, Va. Has declared a state of emergency as of 1 p.m. today and opened the middle school as an emergency shelter.
Mama & daddy will refuse to evacuate even if it becomes mandatory, because they cant take me and the kitties into the shelters, and they will not for any reason leave us to ride out a bad storm like this on our own.
It was sunny this morning, the the breeze started picking up, and the clouds rolled in, and now its raining, and windy.
Now the news just said we might get hit with Ike right after Hannah!
Uh oh!
( Our Governor just went on tv and said he is sending high water rescue teams to the mountians...WHAT?)
T.S. Hannah will be here tomorrow!
* A whole weeks worth of hugs to everybody in case Hannah takes away our electric for awhile. No..make it 2 weeks worth!
Mama just saw our little town of Deltaville on the news.
Tropical Storm Hannah is now forecasted to hit us DIRECTLY here, starting late in the day tomorrow.
They actually showed our little town on the 10 p.m. news. The yacht club is "battening down the hatches".
So tomorrow morning mama & daddy will start moving things down to the basement.
We have been blessed to go for 3 years and only have one bad problem from a storm. That was when T.S.Ernesto left a tree on our deck (missed the house by less than an inch!).
Mama got a chainsaw for her birthday that year BOL!
(My heart wasnt really into that "bark out loud"
)
Mama is scared of T.S. Hannah...more scared than she has been of any storm for a long time.
She sat through hurricane Isabel in a second floor apartment, reading a book by candlelight, and was never scared.
But"this one feels different pooch" She said.
Maybe cuz she has more to lose now.
She has ME, and i'm not going anywhere.
We cannot evacuate, because we have nowhere to go that mama & daddy can take a dog and 3 cats too.
And mama wont leave us here to face the storm alone.
She says she didnt get us just to abandon us when we need her the most!
So we are all staying together.
Of course she is worried about the storm taking out the electric. And that runs the pump on the well.
That means no water for drinking, or the humans to bathe.
No phone, computer, or tv, until the cable comes back on.
But the electric has to be first, the after the electric company CALLS cable and gives permission, they can go up to fix the cable lines.
Mama & daddy have cell phones, but probably neither of them has put any time on them.
And they have to figure out where is the safest (for lack of a better word) place to park the car & truck, so hopefully no trees or limbs will fall on them. Theres trees all around this house!
We have whole new bags of Dog and cat food and treats. New bucket of kitty litter, and all our animal supplies.
Now thats its "GO TIME" mama needs to get moving!
So if you dont see us on here for awhile, its because of Hannah. But we are thinking of everyone, and we'll be back as soon as we can.
Big hugs,
Chopper,Mama, Daddy, Bear, Goldie, and Star
Sad news-Corection added 8/6
Today my buddy Cocomoe got runover while he was at work at the boatyard with his daddy.
Cocomoe is the same age as me, but much larger than me. Noone knows his exact breeds, but definitly some Rottie, and maybe some Lab.
When we were 8 months old, he came to live with his daddy in the house next door.
The moment we saw each other we were friends.
Sometimes he got to come over and play with me, and we would run like the wind, and chase stick and balls.
We even chased each other.
It was so much fun when he chased me that i did my beagle "hunting yelp".
And we liked to run past real close where mama was standing and almost knock her down.
******************************************
CORRECTION
Saturday 8/6 *** After the storm let up today, i was outside with daddy and i saw my buddy COCOMOE! He walked out to the mailbox with is daddy.
I dont know how he has managed to survive after being runover by something at the boatyard.
He was walking very slow, but WALKING!
We thought he died after being runover at the boatyard.
Me and mama apologise to everyone. We did not mean say he was passed away when we have found out now that he is alive.
Now we are praying for his recovery.
To Everyone
Sorry mama wasnt able to respond to any barks last night or send a thank you for the gift that was sent.
Thank you for the green dinosaur WeLoveOur7Dogs.
And mama will be catching up on my barks today.
The problem was everytime she tried to go to my profile, "send error report" kept popping up on the screen and she had shut down and restart.
This happened about 5 or 6 times until she finally gave up.
She was able to see everything else on the site, blogs, forums, other profiles, etc. just not my profile!
And now it is working ok so far today.
And she calls ME a goofball???
Mama fell UP the steps.(Shes not hurt)
Daddy puts the mail on top of his car keys, and walks around looking for them.
And they call ME a goofball!
Mama hits the switch for the ceiling fan instead of the hall light EVERYTIME.
Daddy hits the off button instead of the channel button on the remote, and the tv, cable box and stereo have to reset before they will turn back on.
And they call ME a goofball!
Mama leaves the radio blasting and daddy starts the car and about jumps out of his skin.
Daddy leaves the seat up and mama falls in at night.
And they call ME a goofball!
Mama never remembers to charge her cellphone,so its always dead.
Daddy never remembers to take his cellphone off the charger,(& never remembers to take it with him).
And the call ME a goofball!
Whats a dog to do?
Mad at my mama!
I'm an easy going boy. I dont get get mad very often, and it takes alot to make me mad.
And my mama has really gone and done it this time.
The guy next door gave ME a 50 year old piece of wood to chew up. NOT her! ME!
And she made me leave it outside tonight at dark so i could come in and start settling down for bedtime.
IM SO MAD AT HER!
