Día de los Muertos - Hanakkah- Christmas- New Year

 Happy - Happy!

You have to notice lots of strange things happening this time of year. 

Bones? Not really, but Grammie likes these things!
Hangs them up on a sort of green plastic thingy.

Sure, I can pose by the red flower. Whatever makes you happy!

A blanket for a puppy I never met, Henry? Strange!
I  have questions - mailed to Seattle? Ummmm

A sharped-shinned hawk shows up this time of year.
He's no dummy - we serve lunch!

My best present, from my friend Lynn.
Although little micro-bones they are delish!

YES, MINE.....all MINE!

One thing we do every year is donate lots of nice blankets to doggies (or kitties!) who have no family. My Grammie took warm blankets out to
Sun Valley Animal Rescue this year. She says it is a very nice shelter.
 I wonder why she was so sad when she came home?

They really do good work and we can help in many ways.

Sad News

 Today we lost a friend from my nation of English Springer Spaniels.

Jazmine was a really good looking ESS! She had a wonderful human family. They gave her a fantastic doggie life. She loved camping and her toys.


  She really loved snack time!

 Of course Jaz was English but she was fluent in Spanish.  

You'll be remembered girl friend.

On a happier day this is my Grammie with my dear friend, Lynn,  Jaz' mom,.

Various Recovery Indignities

One day I had to soak my foot. Can you believe that?  Much more to come..you will be shocked I am just now coming out of a drug induced fog. Egad!

Recovery is a Bummer

I'm trying to rest up since my injury.

I'm not allowed to be rowdy but my toys stay close.

And the vet told me to keep my foot elevated.

Many Wags for your Sympathy

Thank you humans and canines...your kind messages are helping me. I am doing OK but way slowed down.

(Slow is not my style at all.)  More pictures will be posted soon.

Meantime Baxter, who has recently had some problems of his own, sent me regards. His dislocated hip is now all better. He is out of his sling.  He has some vision challenges and I think he needs his all-fours. 

I don't think a thing is wrong with his sister Zoe. I suppose she's taken to bed in sympathy for us. 

(Typical Princess behavior!)


Kind regards, Ella Mae 

Oops!

A long story.....but here I am  at the doctor's office, on a perfectly nice Saturday. In fact I had to go to ER because my regular doc is not on duty today. And they are too booked up for me? Huh?

Here's what happened: Thursday night I did some fancy running and skidding to welcome Jaz's mother to Grammie's  house.  Somehow in my exuberance I slipped and tore a nail off. Just raw stuff showing.Ouch!

OMG - Grammie and Lynn took such good care of me! I lounged on a blanket for about 2-hours. Ate my dinner right there! No kidding. (They never offered me a cocktail...duh! I actually could have used a GT)

Admittedly, I was in pain, big time. But I got home last night by way of  the Board Meeting at Carumbas.  Uncle Eddie held me the whole way over. I felt better real quick.  Grampa came out to the car to tend to me two or three times. I did not get to run around  the parking  lot and chase those wild cats like I normally do
  - oh well.
BTW Doc says my nail will grow back. And  I have some fairly nice drugs if needed. There is some talk of dental cleaning and lump removal this week. What the heck?   Ella

Friends of all Types

So some of these friends you've never heard of....well heck, some of them I never met.

However my grammie says they are sort of my friends

That's because she knows them and I bet she pets them.

They probably got a whiff of me!  (Ya think?)

Daisy is one of those posing dogs!
She's a book club member.

Zoe who is "adorable", so grammie says.
Another literary canine.

Martini got into grammie's yoga bag!
Good grief!

Stoney Laroux lives in Texas. Yahoo!

GiGi lives in Texas too. A diva!

 Thought you might want to see me.
New cut - old style.
