Good-bye Floor-i-duh

Yes, it's been a good winter but I'm ready to go home to May-nuh, where I can do zoomies in my big fenced yard and bring muddy feet into the house without having them wiped off every.single.time!

Yes, I will miss my deck and my dock,

long walks with my mama and my papa every day,

 

and my frozen treats.

 

But, I'm ready and I've been preparing for the trip home by catching a few winks in the back of the car, because that's what I do for three.long.days...sleep.

See you in May-nuh, don't put away your warm clothes!

Sassy Has Left the Building

Today the Grouchy Old Lady my sister, Sassy, traveled over the Rainbow Bridge.  

She was very old, like nearly ancient and was here when I arrived three years ago.  She ruled the roost, or at least she thought she did.  I liked to chase her and smell her butt, which was not approved by my mama and papa and I regularly got yelled at scolded for doing so.  However, she only hissed at me a few times and she hardly ever swatted me, which was pointless because she had been declawed.

That means there is no longer a reason for me to sit at the bottom of the stairs and stare at the little door in the big door that she could scamper through when I got really annoying or she just wanted some alone "leave me alone" time.

There is no point in sitting on the other side of the kittie  kiddie gate thinking she will come and play, which she never did. 

Sassy and the annoying "Gate of Protection"

She wasn't much for playing, unless it was with a mouse or chipmunk.  I blame that on the fact that she was already old and tired when I got here and she misunderstood my intentions.

There is no chance I will be able to sneak into her special room and steal her food or find any delicious litter covered cat poo to snack on. 

I will not be able to follow her into the bathroom and look wistfully at her lording over me from the open window.

Go away Dog, can't you see I am meditating and your staring is disturbing me

Lastly, I won't need to stand at the fence and yodel at her because she is strolling through the yard, ignoring me as though she doesn't hear me.

I'm going to miss having her around but I will probably get myself into a lot less trouble.

Rest in Peace, Sweet Sassy.  Thank you for sharing your people with me.

Troy's New Family

Well, admittedly, it took me quite a long time to write a post about my foster brother, Troy which I finally finished just yesterday.

Today, Troy went home with his new family.  You might not know that my mama and papa are retired firefighters, cross-trained as EMT's.  Troy's new family are EMT's, cross-trained as firefighters.  It's like it was meant to be!

Troy went to an a-dop-shun event today with my mama and papa, then they dropped him off at the shelter and came home, assuming they would return later to pick him up.  My papa's phone rang around 4:00 with the news that Troy was going home.  So my papa jumped up, adrenaline pumping through his handsome body, grabbed my old Troy's Nyla bone and headed to the shelter.  He wanted to meet them and tell them everything he knew about Troy in order to help ease his transition to his new home.

They went to the shelter especially to check Troy out, after seeing him online and watching his videos (in which I have a cameo part).  They spent a lot of time with him, even throwing the ball for him in the obedience room.

I'm really excited for Troy, although I will miss having him around to rough-house with.  He will have TWO human siblings, a HORSE, a big fenced yard and a POND right down the road.  His new mama and papa work different schedules, so he won't have to spend a lot of time alone.  They understand that he is still a puppy and they want to take him to obedience classes!

It sounds like Troy scored the perfect family to grow old with.  Good luck little foster brother, I hope you have a long, happy, loving, wonderful life!
