Will You Pray for Me?

2012-06-02T21:20:00.000-04:00

A prayer request from my Mama Donna: I have grave news. I took Angel for an ultrasound and she has a tumor in her bladder. It is near the urinary tract which is why she strains to urinate. Because of its location, surgery is not an option. She is going to be on treatment for the rest of her life to try to reduce the size of the tumor. If/when the tumor shrinks, it will give her relief.

Don't Feed Me This!

2011-10-31T09:46:00.002-04:00

Mama Donna doesn't feed me very much 'people food.' She wants me to remain healthy I guess. But I sure do like the taste of potato chips. And my favorite snack is bananas. Every now and then, she still gives me a tiny bite. If you care about your pet, and I know you do, check out this guide listing foods bad for your pet. Now that Mama Donna read this list, I may get even fewer potato chips!

This Poodle Love the Smoosh Faces

2011-06-25T22:27:00.002-04:00

Every chance I get, I sneak into Leah's room to play with Cash. When we get tired, I get up on the bed and sleep side by side with the BT's. You'll notice that Cash is on his favorite blanket. I look a lot different, but since we are more the same in size, we get along really well. Just goes to show that even though dogs (and people!) sometimes look very different from one another, they can
