hi ho hi ho off to work

Boy am I tired, we did a ton of work in the yard. We started out by

by first laying down landscape fabric and then  putting down a lot of mulch over a area of the yard that was just planted yesterday. We then moved snow white and the seven dwarfs out and mulched that area. Snow White and the dwarfs belonged to dad mom and when she died in 2002 from a car accident he recived them. After moving them he decided it was time to repaint them, the paint was all cracked and faded. So we carried the fist two over to a well shaded area and started to sand all of the old paint off and I noticed Dad starting to get upset, He had found a finger print that was his Mom's in the old paint. we sat there for a moment and looked at it then he stated that his mom would be really upset with the way they looked so we continued to sand. As we  painted we listened as dad told us stories of his mom and her love for these statues and her love for gardening. After we finished 2 of the dawrfs we went for a nice long swim.  I look forward to painting the rest of them to hear more about her. Now  every time I look at them I will think of the love that is with them.I also learned today what may seem silly to some means the world to others. Good night everyone and dont forget to hug someone you love. 

all clear

Well after a week of worry and a lot of rain Tropical storm Debby is a storm

is now in the past. I have never seen so much rain I was begining to think it was going to rain cats and dogs. As you can see from the picture Tootie is just tired out. She does not do well in storms. She is very very afraid. I wish I knew what the poor little dog has been through in her young life .My Dad went out and spent most of the day cleaning out the pool so I could go swimming then he cleaned all of the yard and mowed the lawn, He worked so hard that I had to take a nap.

partners

I was sitting here after my swim and thinking about my partner Tootie and how much she has become a very  big part of my life. At night she cuddles tight next to me,I think it helps her feel safe.

I love starting my day waking up next to her sweet face and she always gives me a big kiss in the morning. I just know we are going to have  a great day together

After a little time and some work from my daddy Tootie has started to enjoy swimming. Today was the first day she stood on the step to the pool for a minute I thought she was going to jump in. I think in a few week she will be jumping in with me. After our swim today she got to wear her pretty green shirt, notice how she is sticking her tong out at Dad, Don't tell him but I dared her to do it and  I was shocked she did. Well I better go help dad finish picking up the yard we might be having a tropical storm coming in a day or two. Every one have a great day

Ok we are just about ready to preview our Hells Bay video ,  Oh that was a day that will be hard to top here is a small clip

Did you hear that thump from when dad hit the tree, who taught him how to drive .Oh well, I hope you enjoyed it. I will be working hard on finishing up. I have a good bit of time on my paws while my dad is healing from his knee replacement.

What is traditional

I hear a lot now about traditional families lately and today I have been really thinking about  it. One of my dads had surgeries today and was I nervous. Thankfully all went well, after I heard dad was ok it made me think hard about what makes a family. For me it is all about my 2 dads and my little sister Tootie and yes even Midge cat. Its about the love and support we have for each other and when we are apart  I don't feel complete. When we are together there is no other place I would rather be. When I was sick I knew everything would be ok the love that was given to me made me push myself to get better.My family excepts me for who I am, my good and bad things I do. It truly is a family of unconditionally love . So to me that's what make a family.

6 month

Hi everyone,
Its been awhile. A lot has been going on. It has been about 6 months since I had the cancer removed from my side and I am just about back to normal. On the sad side of it has also been the same time that Dutchess crossed the rainbow bridge. Oh how I miss her. I am also worrying about my dad, he has to go get his knee fixed in a week. He has been working with Tootie on her swimming lesson, she is starting to get good.

 We never know what the the next day will bring as I learned in December, but as long as we keep pushing through the hard times and enjoy the good times and keep the memories of those that left us alive, everything will work out. I stopped today and realized how lucky I am to have such a great family.
