HAPPY BIRTHDAY SURFER!!! You will always be loved!

kind of a sobering morning for me. Gracie was not acting her usual spunky self last night and then she slept in until nearly 9:00 this morning. I rattled her treat jar and she came running. That was good. She ate breakfast. That was good. She pooped. That was good.

Still, I have a kind of unsettled feeling. It hit home again that she has cancer . Spunky or not, we're still not out of the woods. She still needs you guys' thoughts, prayers, vibes or whatever.

You, your family, and Gracie are in our thoughts, vibes, and highest hopes.

Best wishes from Dave, Jen, Rivy & Zeke!

It's a new picture of Ceasar from my niece's facebook page. I tell you those 13 year olds really rip it up on facebook. Dang! (as my niece would say)

We think about Gracie all the time and hope for the best for her. My prince is always glad to hear the updates about her. His family had a golden when he was a teenager.

Hang in there, Gracie! We know this isn't easy for you or your mom and dad. :thumbup:

couple recent pics snapped while on staycation:







btw - does anyone know how to set up your photobucket so that it automatically imports your photos at the proper size for here? it's annoying to have import, and then individually resize each image. someone once mentioned this, but fuck if i know how to figure it out.


grazie.

Well, he's now going to be my "adopted son", as, me and my girl got engaged ... I promise to get him a lined leather jacket for days like this so he can look much cooler.

Hm, I see you noticed my above comments about the sweater.

May I also extend my congratulations. May you have many happy years together! :clap:
When we got married, my prince adopted my two shelties and made an honest woman of me.
Now it's 31 years and 6 shelties later. Life is good.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Thank you. Life is good! Glad it is for you as well.

Little Guy (the pooch) is getting up there ... he's 11, but, aside form a recent liver issue, he's in good shape ... hope to get a lot more years from him.

Let's hope "dang!" is as strong as it gets in your neice's social networking :shock: .

Misspelled Ceasar looks like he's got some serious attitude . My wife calls it Little Man Syndrome with guys.

Well, he's a prince of a guy!
And he still knows how to make me laugh.

Of course not! But I have to admit I stole that idea from a Britcom called My Hero that we used to get on PBS. The main character was from another planet and acted as a superhero called Thermoman. He was married to a nurse named Janet and to keep his identity hidden worked in a health food store. He didn't understand people very well but he was crazy about his wife. In one episode they were taking care of his in-law's beagle and he took a quick course in dog language to communicate with the dog. He and the dog were barking at each other with subtitles on the screen and it was truly hilarious! One of the things that the dog was so miserable about was that his owners made him wear a coat all the time. So he was complaining, "All the other dogs think I'm gay!"
