Dear GODIG friends,

We are so sad to tell you that our beloved co-alpha Butch has left us.

Because GODIG is a group that celebrates life, we want to share some of the joy Butch brought to his humans Ray and Anne and remember how special Butch was.

Nothing intimidated this 14-year old Rat Terrier, including Snip the horse, a stray cat, and the sudden appearance of adoptive brother Buster. Butch always let Ray and Anne know exactly what he was thinking, and GODIG-ers remember his hunger strike last fall when he decided human food should be "on his plate". Feisty with visiting chihuahuas, he let them know who was boss, but was never agressive or obnoxious.

Butch was also vital in getting GODIG off the ground. His enthusiasm, friendliness, and natural assumption that he was the same size as any dog around sparked our growth, and his spirit--that life for senior dogs should be full of zest and techniques for helping our humans adapt as we age--will always be with our group.

The posy (the flower that's not the rose) is how we have remembered other GODIG-ers who've left us, and we know that a zillion will be placed in Butch's memory on his profile (Dawg1943).

GODIG-ers, our co-alpha Butch went to the vet Monday because he wasn't feeling well, so let's send prayers and thoughts to Dawg1943 that he bounces back soon.

MyHotComments Hi everyone, Well today is Momma's last vacation day; she goes back to work tomorrow. I will miss not having her at home everyday, she says her tummy gets upset everytime she thinks about having to go back to work. Last night she and I took a long walk. I am surprising myself about how good I am doing with that wretched cart. I kind of like it now that my butt has pretty well quit working at all. I can stand up again and that is pretty cool. The only hard part is coming back up the hill. Momma hasn't let me go all the way to the bottom yet, She is afraid that I will get too sore trying to climb back up. Momma and I have a game we have played since I was very young that we call "The Stinking Couch" game. Momma tells me she is going to put me on the stinking couch and I pretend to try to get away from her. I know it sounds stupid, but she gets a kick out of it. Since I have had this butt-drag disease it has been impossible to play like we once did. I have been trying to teach her that we can still play, we just have to play different. Instead of trying to get away from her, I just go dead weight now making it harder for her to pick me up. And by George (No, george its just an expression, she didn't go by you) she finally figured out that I was still playing last night and not saying that I didn't want to play. So we had a blast playing for a long time last night, then we all laid on the bed and just relaxed and petted one another for a long time. After awhile, I was ready to go to sleep and Momma helped me get on my bed and get comfortable. Finally she and Daddy went to sleep. I laid there a while thinking about how much my life has changed, but how much it is still the same. Then I too, drifted off to dream land.

WOW!

         We've just added three great members to the GODIG list (which also has links to everybody's profile for easier barking).

         Pippi is a 15-year old Smooth Fox Terrier, and her adoptive brother Simon, 10, is a miniature poodle who live with their human mom in Santa Barbara, CA. They just joined MDS Friday, so let's all send a bark and a pal request to Pippi and Simon at PippiMom and welcome them to GODIG.

         Callie is an energetic 14-year old Yorkshire Terrier who loves boat rides, swimming and dominating her three younger adoptive sisters. She also just joined MDS; let's send welcome barks and a pal request to Callie at yorkiemomof4.

         ALSO, the new GODIG Arooo is posted on mickeyfrescasohpie's page... Check it out.
