DIY

If you are tired of asking your mom and dad for a doggie door, do what Murphy did. DIY! Murphy's new motto is "If you want something done and done right, DIY!"

Murphy informs me that if any of you out there needs some DIY information, you can contact him at 1-800-Murphy!

Do YOU have one of these in captivity?

Ladies, Gentlemen, and kids of all ages, please beware! THEY are every where. THEY come in all colors, sizes and shapes. THEY have all different kinds of names like Mutt, Heinz 57, Chihuahuas, Boston Terriers, Border Collies, Dachshunds, and Shih Tzus to name a few. THEY are all the same. Don't let any of THEM fool you. Don't turn you back on any of THEM. THEY can't be trusted. THEY are all "Shoe Killers" If you don't have one living in your home, you can bank on it, your neighbor does! THEY will attack an innocent pair of shoes just because. We have a "Shoe Killer" that lives in our home. This is not the first attack by any means. We try the best we can to keep the innocent victims out of harms way, but that is no match for "Mikey."















Don't let this innocent looking face fool you!

Is this what they call a tease?????

Here she is. Remember I had a job baby sitting Hailey? Well I was back on duty last week.

Mommy, Mikey and I were watching Hailey last week. I think I did most of the work too! She wacked me in the head with a Swiffer thing! Ouch!






Daddy got Haily this Penguin Pool with the balls to play in while she was visiting us. That isn't fair!!!! Mikey and I wanted the balls. Everyone knows how much we love tennis balls. Did we get to play with them? NO!













Look at Hailey smiling because she knows I will get in trouble if I get one of the balls. I think I heard her mumble Ha, Ha, Ha! Zoey!


I'll show them.......

Who is smiling now?

XOXO

Zoey

Happy Easter!!!!

Well, as you can see mommy is at it again. We hope we gets lots of goodies from the Easter Bunny since we agreed to impersonate him!
Happy Easter!

Our Sweet Baby Panda

My sweet Panda Bear. March 2nd 2007 was one of the saddest days of my life. It was the day I had to say goodbye to my best friend. I know you know how much daddy and I love you. The dates are not important, but The Dash is.

The Dash is written by Linda Ellis.
Panda, how do I thank you for sharing your Dash with me? I will never forget that first day I met you. You and Daddy came over to my house for you to meet me. I really didn't know what to expect. I didn't expect to fall in love with you at first site, but that is exactly what happened. Your cute smile and personality were the best in the world. Not to mention what a cute sweet smart girl you were. You made us laugh a hundred million times! I remember one day I was baby sitting you and let you go out in the backyard to go to the bathroom and get some sunshine. You were sporting an e-collar. I heard the neighborhood kids yelling "Pit Bull! Pit Bull!" I had never seen a Pit Bull before and figured I would peak out of the front door to see what one looked like. What did I see, but your will butt trotting down the sidewalk! Butt wagging one way and head the other! I was shocked! I couldn't believe the kids thought you were the Pit Bull. I called you; you stopped in your tracks, turned your head and had a silly grin on your face. You turned on a dime and headed back to me.

I have lots of memories of you, that I hope I never forget. How about that day Daddy and I came home from a Mardi Gras parade with a bunch of Moon Pies? You little stinker! We couldn't figure out where they went! I'll bet you were laughing because it took us to while to figure out you had a Moon Pie in every corner of the house.

The day my heart stopped was the day; we came home and couldn't find you! We called you and called you when we got home. We found it so strange that you didn't greet us at the door. My first thought was maybe when we left the house, you had gotten out and we didn't see you. I was so sad to think you were gone. Daddy kept telling me he was sure you were in the house though. We both stopped talking and started listening for you. I will never forget how happy I was to hear that little sound you used to make that sounded like a whale clearing out that hole in the top of their heads. You rat! I'm sorry that thunderstorm scared you enough to hide behind the dryer. I would have never thought to look there for you.

Remember the day we went to the walk along the Mississippi River? We watched the brown pelicans fly past the pavilion. You were your usually funny self that day. Daddy and I laughed at you because you had your head cocked so that one nostril could be glued to the cement smelling everything that crossed that path, and the other nostril off the ground for air.

The day at Audubon Park was one to remember. I thought you were going to break your neck when you took off full speed after a squirrel! I think that day was the first time you saw a lagoon. I don't remember if that is the same day we went to the pizza parlor that allowed dogs, but I think you had a good time there as well.

Remembering food…..how about the countless picnics we have been on? We always had fun on the side of the road, or in a park eating fried chicken, burgers or a pizza.

You helped ease the pain I had moving here. I left my friends, family, job and school to be with you and daddy. I don't think anyone knew how hard it was for me, except you. I can't tell you how nice it felt when you would come sit next to me and lean your body next to me like you were giving me a hug telling me everything would be ok. You always knew the right thing to do to comfort me. I loved how you would snuggle next to me at night. I can't tell you enough how much I miss that. I miss the sweet smell of your ears. They always had a puppy smell, I will never forget.

I will never forget the horror Daddy and I felt the day we were told you had to have your beautiful blue eye removed. It was like a knife in our hearts. It couldn't be we thought. You were such a little trouper. You trusted our judgment completely. You had the best doctors we would find. We were told you would look at cute as ever and you did. That was just about the same time we thought you needed a brother. We kept telling you we were going to get a brother for you and we started looking. It was because of you and the love of Bostons that you taught us that we knew we wanted another Boston. We didn't find that brother for you just yet, but instead found Zoey. Oh Lord! How patient you were with that little baby! She could do anything she wanted to with you and you were always patient. You taught Zoey so many things that she didn't learn from her momma. I know she was like your baby. You taught her how to play and how to sit down fast when little sharp teeth would sink into your butt. You showed her how you brought balls and toys back to who ever threw them for you. Ha Ha Ha! Remember turning in a circle with a toy in your mouth, so Zoey would have to run her little legs off to try to get it from you while all you did was stand in one place and turn in a circle! You were so clever. It is funny to see that Zoey does so many of the maneuvers you taught her.

That trip to the Atlantic Ocean was fun. You and Zoey had never been to the ocean before. The people at the hotel were excited about you and Zoey being guest when we checked in. They gave you kids doggie treats and wanted to baby sit you both behind the front desk while daddy and I went to dinner. They thought you two were the cutest doggies ever. Oh yes, remember that week we stayed at the hotel in Ohio? Every one fell in love with you and Zoey there too. Remember the housekeepers used to knock on the door to visit you and would always say "Hi" when we went for walks.

It was because of our love for you and Zoey that daddy and I got interested in rescue. Because of you, we welcomed Zoey in the family, and because of you, we welcomed Mike. That last day, Zoey came to you for you to lick her face as you have done all of her life. She did it as to say, "Just once more before you go." Even Mike came to you and licked your face which he had never before done to let you know he loved you.

My sweet baby Panda, I will miss you the rest of my life. I know I will see you again and you will be there to welcome me home.

Every time I see water running from a hose I will thing about the fun you used to have trying to catch it. I hope you are running and playing now my angel.

Thank you Arlene from Bostons R Us for creating this beautiful memorial page for Panda.

Happy Valentine's Day!

We would like to wish every one a Happy Valentine's Day! We hope you get lots of kisses

XOXO

Panda, Mike and Zoey

Merry Christmas!

Our New Friend Bud!

This is our new friend Bud! Isn't he a cutie pie? Mommy met Bud's mommy this weekend and this is what Bud's mommy had to say about Bud.



"He is our sweet love child, we got him through a breeder who got his litter from a puppy mill in North Georgia.. Was rolly polly and lovable from the beginning! He sleeps a lot the older he gets, but still has that light in his eye from puppyhood... Because of tooth loss, his tongue slips out while he rests and my kids beg me to take more pictures of him..!"

Bud and Panda have a lot in common, they both sleep with their tongue out of their mouth!

XOXO
Panda, Zoey and Mike

NASCAR

We went to our very 1st NASCAR race! We thought we would be pictured with our favorite driver. He didn't win the race, so we didn't let him take a picture with us!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween is right around the corner. Mommy said the ghosts and goblins will be out in full force.

Our job is going to be to guard the candy! Here we are trying on our costume





I wonder why Mike is dressed like the devil?



Zoey and I love our wings. We think we look beautiful! Mommy will post your Halloween pictures too. Just sent them to her with a little story!

XOXO
Panda

There is no way you can pin this on me!

This is a true story. Mommy was inside working while Panda, Zoey and I were taking naps. There was a noise outside like something hit the house. Me being the good watch dog that I am ran outside in the rain barking. I tried to make Mommy follow me, but she wouldn't. She just looked out and looked around inside to try to figure out what happened. I don't know why mommy didn't follow me outside.


Uh Oh! This doesn't look good. Thank goodness I have mommy, Panda and Zoey as my alibi. They'll be no creating a time line of my where abouts either!

I wonder what happened here? What made this bird bath just fall over? Not me, no sirrrr!

We used to have a pond right in this very spot. I had 3 pet frogs living in it too. I would try to catch them, but Daddy said he was afraid I would fall in one day and drown! Daddy took the pond out and out came my 3 little froggy friends. Daddy said they would be ok and put them near some rocks for a hidding space from me. From me??? Then daddy put this fountain where the pond used to be.

Now I just wonder if those froggies were in the water in the bird bath? Let me see here.......nope, they are not there.

Yikes, I better get out of here!



XOXO
Mikey
