It's my birthday today !

I am officially a teenager, and can anyone guess what my birthday wish
is ? If you look at the picture below it may give you a clue.

One way or the other, I will have a peaceful day :)

As you may know

Miss Snickers is struggling

Mightily

Along with her family.

(The best place to keep up with updates is her Gussie’s blog.)

Last night looked as if it might have been her last.

This morning she rebounded with improved symptoms.

She is far from out of the woods

But she and her family

Including her gentle and loving brother Butchy

Have been granted another day.

We can’t help but believe

that part of the improvement is because of

The support and love that have surrounded her

From all around the world

Thanks to the linked paws

Of her blogging friends.

The Power of the Paw

We are asking everyone to set your alarms

And at exactly 11:00 PM GMT on Saturday 14 Nov 09

(Go to this link to find what time that is for you)

5:00 PM Saturday evening in Iowa

as Snickers' family sits down to eat

Turn toward them (in the central USA)

And join together in a silent minute

Of prayer, meditation, contemplation, reflection

Whatever feels right to you.

Followed by whatever means of communication

You choose.

Arrooing

Barking

Howling

Yipping

Yapping

Wooing

Meowing

Mewing

Purring

To wish and send Miss Snickers and her family

whatever is in your hearts

That will help them feel the Love and Support

They need right now.

Personally, we’ll be praying for a Miracle.

Then

Blow a Kiss

and send your Love and Prayers and Best Wishes

to Miss Snickers and her Family

and they will feel their arrival

in the breeze.

the gruffpuppy who is feeling much better, but shhhh don't tell anyone !

Ouchie !!!!

Hey pups,

Well, I went and saw Dr Nick yesterday, and I am not very impressed with what happened next ! I thought I was going to have a nice day of pampering without BJP - but as it were, I think I have been subjected to some sort of alien experiment ! I have all these hurty cuts over me, and this tubey stuff sticking out of me - plus they shaved my furs !!!! What's going on ???

CAUTION - only click on the below links if you have a strong stomach, they are pretty icky photoes !!!

I was very sleepy when mum and dad came to pick me up from Dr Nick - and they had some trouble getting me out of the car and into my "quarantine" area. They have very wisely sectioned off the lounge area so BJP can't harrass me.

I slept alot last night - and was feeling pretty sore and sorry for myself - but today I am much brighter and have had some foodies and been outside alittle. The lumps were much bigger inside than they appeared on the outside, that is why my cuts are so big.

Whilst I was recovering today, I snuck a look at mum's iphone and couldn't believe what I saw ! Whilst I was being abducted by aliens and subjected to doG knows what - she was out galavanting with MY friends the Leuradales ! The hide of her - she should have been by MY side, not out having fun !

Oh, and THE biggest lump ? Well, it seems they couldn't remove that one, and I am still stuck with it !!!

Love

Hey pups,

I am off to see Dr Nick tomorrow for the day - and probably into the night. I am having some of my lumps and bumps removed - I have LOTS, but there are a few that are starting to annoy me and I can't sleep on my side because of them. They are only lipoma's - but I will be going "under" - so wish me well ! I will have a nice sleepies - then I will get lots of TLC at home, because I will have some stitches. Mum and dad will have to keep BJP away from me, I think. We don't want him doing this -
