We're still here ... we really are.

"Hi"
(Said with WeakTailWags and HopefulTerrierEyes)


We're kinda wondering if AnyPup remembers us
It's been Months
and
So Much has happened.

We think about our BloggingFriends all the time
and
We miss you

Lots

But OurMoma has (obviously) taken a HugeBreak
and
We haven't had much Influence.

Ya see ...
OurMoma doesn't like to help us blog about RuffStuff
and
Honestly
Life's been sorta Ruff recently

It's not all Bad
In fact, some of it has led to some ReallyGoodStuff
but
It's been quite a Journey
and
OurMoma sorta hates sugar-coating things.

So

She's

Been

Pretty Silent

but

We've been doing a GreatJob 
Supporting her
and
Keeping up her Spirits
(and she loves us even more 'cause we're so good ... she tells us all the time)

Here's the ShortStory

We left off way back in June 2012
When MissMissy (the BestPupSitterInTheWorld) came and stayed with us
While OurMoma and OurGirl we visiting family in Florida.

That was GreatFun
and
All was Good

Then
In July Gramma and Auntie Judith drove to Colorado to visit us

On the first day here, Gramma fell
Gramma broke her hip
Gramma went to the hospital
Gramma sorta kinda had a lot of OldAgeStuff come up
Fast and Furiously
As a result of HerFall
(If ya know what we mean)

OurMoma and AuntieJudith quickly realized that Gramma needed Family 
ReallyClose and ReadilyAvailable
From Now On
and
Family needed EachOther

So
BigDecisions were made
and
Gramma and AuntieJudith made Plans to move to Colorado

Then and There

It all sounds really Simple
but
It's been Far Far from that
(Whooboy!)

Gramma needed a NewHome (assisted living) Immediately
Plans had to be made to relocate AuntieJudith to Colorado
Two houses had (have) to be sold
Stuff had (has) to be packed up
and
Stuff has to be moved
Lots of It
(Including all our DogToys and DogTreats that were left in Florida)

In the meantime OurMoma made a QuickRoadTrip to back to Florida
(in July 2012)
to move some of Gramma's Favorite and ImportantStuff to her NewHome

AuntieJudith stayed with us and helped take care of Gramma

In October AuntieJudith returned to Florida
to get the Work started and done there

In November Gramma got pretty sick
She fell again
She went back to the Hospital again

Thanksgiving wasn't so much Fun

but

Things started getting better around Christmas

and

Things are getting better still

(OurMoma had to cancel OurTrip back to Florida
We had hoped to spend January and February at the Beach
But Nope
Not this year)

Mostly OurMoma is learning a lot about the IckyThings OldAge can bring
but 
The more she learns
The better she gets at dealing with it

and
Everybody is Happier
(Most of the Time)

So

There

Not the MostExcitingBlogPost
but
At least we got OurMoma committed enough to help us write Something

'Cause
Bottom Line
We don't want to lose our Friends

We are convinced there is going to be a Time
When we can devote more time to OurBlog
and
Share HappyNews

'Cause
We really do miss it
And we really do miss you

(Besides ... we've told OurMoma it's "Therapeutic"
We're learning, too!)

Jake and Fergi, so good to hear from you, but we do understand about YourMoma needing a break, and about all the old age stuff, falls etc,
I bet Moma is pleased to have you around at this difficult time.
Take care now.

Very difficult times. I am sure you two have helped mom to deal with things. It sounds so stressy, but having grandma close by is going to be good for everybody. I know it has been super cold where you live. Hope that is starting to lessen a bit. Me and Momma are here and thinking of you.

Kisses,
Dexter

Dearest Ones, blogging is more than therapeutic it is your connection to an incredible network of heart family support and encouragement. Sharing Happy News is easy, everyone will listen and smile; it is the real life sometimes tough stuff sharing that puts the color in the rainbow (need a storm, right?)

We miss you terribly but understand how much time is involved in so many changes. Just don't forget that we are all here, ready and anxious to hold your paws and show you our newest stuffies and watch the clouds tranquilly float by in the lovely blue sky. Be at peace.

Hey there special friends!
It's so nice to catch up a little bit...it's also been a long time since we last visited you. I'm sorry that you've been through so much...it's never easy to watch our parents ail.
Please know that we also think of you guys - often...especially your 'mountain' and your two special wires :)
Hang in there.

TOTALLY understand. Been there...doing that. Our peeps are getting a bit long in the tooth too, so Hootie is brushing up on his nursing skills. We love blogging so much and have too felt sad that we're not active like we once were. WE blame that stupid FaceBook thingy. Oh well. Hope you both have a great weekend.
Smooches from pooches,

We know what it's like - remember we have an 88 year old Granny and a 90 year old Aunt that we care for. You can learn a lot real fast - and that's not always a bad thing. Please know you are forever in our thoughts and prayers.

Hi, Fergi and Jake -

We are so glad to read your latest post but sad that your Gramma fell and broke her hip.

We have had a lot of stuff happen too. Our family lost three relatives in the space of six months.

The good news is I (Hershey) just celebrated my 7th birthday.

Have a great weekend!

Love -

Hershey and Kaci

We are still here, too. We have not been able to blog much too but does not mean we do not think of our bloggie pals like you. We pray that all will be good with you and your Mom and Grandma and we'll await your post, anytime. Hugs from all of us.

Hi,

I am Oorvi the pup who manufactures the Oodget Dog Clocks (one of these clocks is displayed on your sidebar). As we had to stop hosting the site from which we were earlier serving the clocks, I've got these two humans-o-mine to move the clocks to my own site.

For the new code, please visit the page http://www.doggyshire.com/k9wisdom/oodget-dog-clocks/ on my blog. Thank you for appreciating an Oodget clock and putting it on your blog:)

Licks n wags,
Oorvi
