Gotcha! (We're briefly back!)

Well

We're back

Sort of

Moma really doesn't like to help us post on our Blog
When we've not made time to visit our Friends

or

More specifically

When we don't make time to leave comments our friends' blogs.

"It just doesn't seem Right"
She says

and

We sort of agree

but

We're still Here

and

We won't be leaving anytime soon

Not for Forever, anyway.


Lots has been happening in the past few weeks.

We've left Florida
and
We've made the LongCarTrip back to Colorado
(That's Fergs in the car)

(and that's YoursTruly)

Bella and Zoë and Gramma and Auntie Judith came with us
(in a different car)

We all traveled via Memphis
(Where we wish Gussie still lived, so we could stop by and see him and TekaToy
and
Where I happened to love the Wheels in the VeryDogFriendlyHotel)

and

We traveled via our favorite SpecialPlace along the Spring River in Arkansas

and
via Kansas City
(Where we were ready for and 'specially enjoyed the SoftBeds and FluffyPillows in the hotel there)
(Can ya tell?)


Prob'ly the best part of the trip was the visit to DairyQueen

(It was only prob'ly 130° across Kansas and it helped to cool us off ... 
not to speak of tasting really really good)

Anyhow

We got back Home
With Gramma and Auntie Judith and Bella and Zoë

and

We've even been on a couple of ColoradoAdventures in the past week
(More about those someday, we hope)

but

Prob'ly MostImportantly
We've celebrated a VerySpecialDay on Wednesday

Fergi's Third Gotcha Day! 

(It's hard to believe it's been three years since she was finally freed from the #$%^& puppy mill
Where she spent the first eight years of her life making puppies)

We managed to have a LittleCelebration last night
In her Honor
(She's still kinda shy around the camera ... and especially during parties)

But in Moma's arms, and thanks to OurGirl's AmazingCameraSkills, we managed to get some pictures
(Here she is, with Moma reading her the card from OurGirl to MissFergi)

Fergi was Happy.  See her smile?
She was especially excited to get some YummyTreats from her AuntieJudith
(All natural and only three calories each ... she wanted to be sure we let you know ...
she IS conscious of her figure!)

With a little bit of encouragement and help, she poked her nose in that PrettyPinkBag
(from NinaGirl)

and she found a MostBeautifulNewCollar (and MatchingLeash)
(Picked out 'specially by HerGirl, who knows, understands and agrees that Fashion is VeryImportant)

Isn't she pretty?
And what delicate licks she took of that FrozenPeanutButterSmoothie ... unlike a certain brother of hers

It was a GoodCelebration
Even if I did have to exercise some ImposedSelfControl
and
Wait behind the door for a while
(Don'tcha feel sorry for me ... that SadFolornFace?)

We love her so much
and
We are so VeryVeryHappy she is part of OurFamily
(I'm not nearly as sad as I appear, with that DowncastLook)

It really was a MostFunCelebration, and Zoë and Bella got to join in, too



and

Yes

I did eventually get to join the Party

and
I did get some FrostyPaws of my own

I know
They wouldn't ever forget or neglect me

but

After all
This day was in Celebration of MyVerySpecialSister
Miss Fergi

I love her so much

We all do ... and we are so glad we are Family

(Thanks, Friends ... those of you who have not given up on us.
Thanks for stopping by
Thanks for the comments
Thanks for your patience
Thanks for being you.

It's 'cause of you that we are here.  And we WILL be back.  Again.  Hopefully soon.)

Newnan, GA? I grew up about an hour north of Newnan. From your comment it sounds like we are about the same age.

All I can say is.........SWEET!!! I do so love having viewed all the precious fur babies. And yes...even the 'sweet' treats.

PS...you say, 'going back to Colorado'...is that where you two live then? I grew up and raised my own family in Colorado, before retiring to Coastal Texas---it's like hometown week visiting with you, then.

HOT TOWN SUMMER IN THE CITY is my link for Thursday's Themesong.
