Sassy's Pawdicure

Hey Dad,

 my nails are getting long.

Could you give me a hand?

That's it, just a little trim,

and file to make them smooth.

Ooooo, that tickles.

Now for the finishing touch...

Just perfect!

teeheehee




(No, not really my paws, remember, I have the old, ugly Copperhead bite scar on my left paw!)

Zack Here

Quick question for ya.

What do you see here?

If you said, "Puppy",

you might be spending too much time

on doggie bloggies....

teeheehee

Happy Weekend!

Almost, Wordless Wednesday

Beating the Heat

Whew, It's Hot!

(See my lips sweating?)

How hot is it, Buddy?

It's so hot....

trees are whistling for dogs.

teeheehee

(BTW, We're only outside during our walks,

then it's right back in the AC.)

~~~~

Not only do we have the heat to deal with, Hubby caught a copperhead in the junipers, right after the dogs and I had, unknowingly, walked by it!

We catch and release all snakes, squirrels. mice, etc. to a remote spot.

As I told Susu:

Catch + Release = Good Karma

Get Your Hot Nuts Here

Does anyone else remember

Doug Clark and The Hot Nuts?

I bet Madi's Mom does, although she might not care to admit it....

Yep, it's hot here!!!

You can see the 3 H's (Hot, Humid, Hazy)

in this photo taken in our front yard.

Y'all, please stay safe in this dangerous heat.

Eenie, Meenie, Minie, Mo....

Together, Again

Here's something you haven't seen in quite a while...

A DogDaze group shot!!!

I'm happy to report, Buddy is getting stronger every day!

Zack and Sas are his biggest cheerleaders!

Happy Weekend!

Since we haven't been able to go anywhere and have fun this summer, we've been remembering all the great times we had at the lake last year.

Hopefully, we will be able to get to the lake in another month, just about the time all the kids go back to school....perfect for us retired folks!

Wordless Wednesday ~Snooki Who?

Lazy Saturday Morning

Run Free, Sweet Cami

Cami crossed The Bridge this morning.

Cami was dearly loved

and will be sadly missed.

Cami's mom doesn't have a blog, please leave a kind word for her here.

Thank you,

~K

From Cami's mom:

Thanks to everyone for your kind words. A very special thanks to Ms.K for posting about my sweet girl. It is comforting to think of her running free. In the past six months she was not able to run as she once did, so the image of her flying through the yard with ears blown back is a happy one! A squirrel was never safe until he made it to the fence. Don't know what she would have done had she ever caught one! She was a brave little soul and a light in our lives! She loved and was loved!

Prayers for Cami, Please

Our sweet, little furiend, Cami, is having a rough day.

She had multiple seizures this morning, her mom rushed her to vet, and she is now on IV.

Please take a moment to send her some positive energy and healing thoughts.

Her mom, Susu, 

and I,

 thank you.

Today's post is brought to you

Happy 4th of July

2011 CMT Music Awards - Made in America - Toby Keith - Toby Keith Videos

Have a Dog-Gone Happy and Safe 4th of July.

Embrace our freedoms and independence!!!

Click on picture for some Southern Grown fun.

(Zac Brown is a Northeast Ga. boy.)

YeeHaw!!!

Thanks for all the positive vibes!

They worked!

Dr. Noone was thrilled with my progress, and with the (drum roll, please) six pound weight loss.

(Try losing weight when you're on restricted activity.)

The x-rays show the bone is healing, and the plate and screws are all intact.

(Did y'all hear a huge sigh of relief around 11:00 AM EDT yesterday?)

We can now begin  rehab, which involves three, 10 minute walks each day, progressing to 20 minutes by the time I return to vet in 6 weeks.

Dr. Noone says I should be ready for the lake by mid-August.

I'm so happy to be emancipated from the dogroom and back with my family.

Hey, it's me,

Buddy.

I've been laying low and taking it easy since my last vet appointment, two weeks ago.

But, today is a big day for me, as

I'm having my TPLO, six-week, post-op

x-rays.

If the pictures reveal healing, then we can start rehabilitation.

If you happen to think about it, around 10:30 AM EDT, please send some positive energy my way.

Thanks!

Rama says I've been a good sport about the confinement and restricted activity.

(Like I had a choice...)

I just keep dreaming of

 days at the lake.

Cookbook for Paws Cause

Check it out!!!

Jack and TG's cookbook is completed and available on Amazon.

The recipes were submitted by Jack's furiends and are guaranteed to satisfy even the most discerning palates!

(from apples to worms)

Read all about it here.

I've finished cutting the carrots for the Turkey Delight!

Just one of the recipes you'll find in the book!

Ding Dong

There's someone at the door.

Go away!

We already gave at the office.

Ha! Ha!

Real funny, Sas!

Sas.....



Virus Alert

 Beware of Vista Home Security 2012!

It's a scam and it will make your computer real sick, if infected.


The worst  virus symptom I observed...

was Rama spewing profanities!

It gets ugly around here when she can't use her computer. 

Father's Day

Daddy

1928-1980

Daddy died of a massive heart attack,

at home, at age 52.

Daddy and Me

Savannah, GA

~1974

If your dad is still alive,

please give him a hug from me today.

If you no longer have your dad,

I'm sending a hug to you...

RIP, Hamlet

Our sweet, Golden furiend, Hamlet crossed The Bridge this morning.

Hamlet's story is amazing and will reassure you that there are, indeed, angels here on Earth.

Please stop by and leave Hamlet's family a comforting word during this difficult time.

Thank you,

~K

Feeling Much Better

I am a happy boy today!

The stitches are out, the cone is history, and Dr. Noone says I am on the road to recovery!

Rama even let me sleep with one of her beloved bunny slippers last night.

Life is good.

Conehead

We're headed back to the vet today.

Hopefully, Dr. Noone will remove my stitches, start my rehab, and say we can throw away that cone.

Rama's getting pretty tired of wearing that darned thing!
