Important Bulletin

Exactly one year ago
on 28 March 2009
Having no idea, really, what we were getting ourselves into.

Our Auntie Judith was the first one to comment
and before long
We received our very first comment from the doggie blogging community.

It was from Jackson
Who we quickly learned to be the Leader of the Wirey Ones

The one who first pulled all the Square Dogs together
on Dogs with Blogs.

And Jackson warmly welcomed us to this wonderful new world.

He came back to visit us with every new post back in those early days
and we came to recognize his Beautiful Banner
and we wig-wagged our tails and smiled our smiles
as we came to know this wonderful wirey one.

We quickly appreciated him even more
When he passed the word about the New Kids on the Block
(us)
to his pal (and now our pal) Eric the Square Dog.

Within days, thanks to Eric's Shout Out
Dozens of new Friends were visiting us
and we became hooked
Right into the canine (and feline) community of bloggies.

Then, today, Eric fulfilled an important role
Spokesdog and Reporter
and
Sadly, and with concern
He let us know that Jackson is mightily struggling with his health

and
All of Us
To come together and provide the Power of the Paw
to help him over this new major hurdle.

He's done it before.
He's had medical issues far and beyond what any four-legged
should have to endure.

He's been strong and courageously dealt with them
with the loving support of his Js.

He's got their support again
as he rests in the lap of his people.

But he needs more.
All we can muster.
All we can give.

Now is the time to once again gather together
in the Circle of Paws

Eric has raised the Prayer Flags
to direct and gather the zen
arriving from all over the world

and
we've set them flying over the mountains in our backyard

All in an effort to send as much
Love and Prayer and Zen and Strength and
General Four-Legged and Two-Legged Support
to Jax.

Please stop by his bloggie
(it'd mean a lot to us)
and let him know how important he is to all of us
and wish him all the good stuff it takes
to get better.
Fast.

His improved health would be the bestest celebration
for our one year bloggaversery
that we can pawsibly imagine.

Love
&

Jake of Florida said...

Happy blogoversary!! We're sad though for the ironic coincidence of Jackson's illness on what should be just pure celebratory messages.

He's a tough terrier though, and an inspiration for all of us!

Great News We're halfway there! Ben has raised over $250; from now on the funds raised go to Khyra's favorite charity in honor of the transport work her mom does! Don't forget to leave a comment on Ben's blog! It is worth $1 toward animal rescue: http://lifeon3legs.wordpress.com/2010/03/18/a-year-ago/ Thanks.

You certainly can count of me for the power of paws. Jackson would love your post. And I can't believe it's 100 post and you are just now trying to be cracker. Although we only met recently. I do serve as a fine mentor.

Jake and Fergie....

We can hardly believe that Jackson is havin' health problems again.....but we know that he has overcome all odds before 'n we have our paws crossed.....in our house that means 12 of 'em unless ya count the peepers who don't really have paws at all but ya can get 'em ta cross their hands, arms, feet 'n legs too to try ta help out.....

All that Zen is channeled directly across the big pee....right ta Jackson's front door.....

Did ya feel it all Jackson? Yep....we're sure ya did....

How's that Jake and Fergi????

Congrats on your blogoversary and thank you for your kind words. I am sorry that I can't blog as often as I once did but that doesn't mean I've forgotten all my lovely pals! As you know I am now on the mend and am feeling so much better. The power of the paw really works :)

Your pal,

Jackson xxx
