 Hi Pals!
It took a long time to get on, but we got an email that Cammy and Lonestar had posted to our profile so we had to check!  We hope all our pals are fine; we have missed you and MDS.  We have joined 2 other sites but mom doesn't have time to post to each page for us so we don't get to bark to our pals very much on there.  We really hope all our pals had a great Christmas, a happy New Year, and are all happy and healthy.  Paladin is slowing down at almost 15 but he still goes to visit at nursing homes every week.. We go to 6 places each week now and love visiting all those nice people who are so happy to see us.  We hope to bark again soon, if we can get on MDS again!

 Hi Pals!
We are sure missing all our friends on here but it takes mom too long to get on to post any messages to our pals.  I guess we will still check in once in awhile.  This morning mom tried, we went for a 30 minute walk, and when we got back we FINALLY were on MDS!!  We hope all of you have a wonderful holiday season.  We are all still doing OK.  Pal goes to the dogtor a lot but so far he is still doing OK and we are so happy to have him with us.  Mom doesn't get on facebook very much but we know some of our pals have pawparents who are on there and we will stay in touch . We are also on Sniffnwags and PawPrintz but mom hasn't figured out all the ins and outs of those sites yet so she isn't on there very much, either (the learning curve is bent....)  We sure miss the old MDS.....
We love all our pals!

 This is the first time we have been able to get on here in three weeks!  We are doing OK.  Pal had a trip to the ER but all is OK now and with new meds he is doing a lot better.  We are still working at our Pet therapy job and our backyard was all dug up last week to start construction on mom's studio.  It has been 2 years in the planning and getting permits turned down but finally it is happening--but we are all a little upset that we can't go back there any more to chase the neighborhood cats.  It is madenning!!!  Mom says that by spring we will be able to play in the back yard again, but it will look very different.  Once that is done mom says she will work from home and then we will not have to share her with that other job she has that takes her away from us.
We hope all our pals are doing OK.  We didn't post a picture today because MDS is still VERY SLOW and wouldn't let us.
We missed you all!

  Hi Pals! We are so sorry we haven't been on here in a long time to post a bark. Our mom and typist has been too busy with work and construction (there is a LOT of noise happening in our back yard during the day). We are still busy working at our pet therapy job. Here is a picture mom took of Pal visiting one of our friends on Thursday,. For our Halloween week visits we dressed up as clowns. Mom made the costumes for us two years ago and made a new one for Ziggy last week so we could all be clowns. Mom was a clown, too. When we got to people's rooms she would say "do you want to meet some clowns?: We were on TV last week, too, in our clown costumes. We were on a show called Sonoran Living. Here is a link (if it works on MDS) to our TV appearance: http://www.abc15.com/dpp/lifestyle/sonoran_living/halloween-fun-in-the-western-town-of-cave-creek Paladin is still doing OK even though he has parathyroid disease that is eventually going to hurt his kidneys. He has a great time visiting and has a great attitude. We hope you all have a happy and safe Halloween! We are thinking about all our pals even though we can't be on here very often. wags and licks, Paladin, Grayson, and Ziggy
