heartbreaking

it's edgar's mum here...there is terrible news in the dog blogging community today and i just can't get it out of my head. i had never read their blog, but saw a post on another...the
houston pittie pack. their home was destroyed in a fire. all of the humans got out safely and two of their dogs...but they were unable to save the remaining 5 dogs. i just can't imagine what they must be going through. mayzie and her peeps set up a way to help...if you would like to pitch in please visit her blog here
thanks everyone - and give your furry friends some extra love tonight...

the indignity...


oh dear me...can everyone see my paw-paw? do you know what she did to me? well...i have a paw pad that a few months ago was all icky and infected (mum thinks maybe i stepped on a small shard of glass from all those broken wine glasses mentioned in my previous post) but i had to go to the vet and she wrapped it all up and i had to take pills...

well this morning i was licking and licking my paw paw and mum took a look at it and there's a small part that is red again. so she took one of her running socks and put it over my paw paw! and then - wrapped masking tape around it!! can you believe the nerve? it looks so foolish for a scottie such as myself to have an old gym sock taped around his paw paw! don't you think? i hope no one notices...

a tribute my friend lucas


that big guy right there is lucas - he's 6 months younger than me, and a yellow labrador retriever - and he's my best freind. seriously, like my brother from another mother. his mum and my mum are real good friends too. we would all go for long walks together almost every day - and even with my short little leggies, i could keep up with lukey. there was one time when there was a duck in the little pond at the gardens and he jumped right in to get it...not me, i hate the water!
his mum and my mum would get together and drink wine together (they lived right downstairs) and lucas would always knock over the wine glasses with his big ole tail! wine and glass everywhere! bol! and our favorite game is something mum calls "dust mop dog". we get a toy and lucas holds one end and i the other and then i would flop down frog dog style and lucas would pull me all over the living room! boy that was fun.

anyway, lucas and his mama moved away about a month ago to colorado. and gosh we sure miss them. for awhile i kept forgetting they were gone and i'd sit down in front of his door when we came in from outside, wishing i could play with him. does anybody else have a best friend? do they live close? i sure miss mine...
