Monday With Multiple M's

Merdie sent me this BEFORE pikh last Thursday
THEN, this after!
Mom took these with her khrakhkberry fur me - I was visiting my SibeLings when Merdie stopped in to show me her summer 'do AND her greenbean diet progress
She went and got skhritchied and skhratchied by The Doggy Nanny
Then she plopped down to chill
It was time fur her to hit the road
She had her mom send this pikh later that night - here is what Auntie Shannon pawed to go along with it:


What a CRAZY position to get to the "Goodies" inside her new bone!

(Obviously Auntie Shannon's email programme didn't have the Khyraese translater enabled)

Merdie gets a summer do bekhause she lives khwite khlose to some woods - this makes it easier to see if any of those nasty tikhk things are trying to GoRge on a sweet Golden Retriever like Merdie

Mom says she khame bouncing in like a puppy - we are missing her noodleloons but they'll grow bakhk - The Doggy Nanny and Mom were also furry thrilled to see there was less Merdie too - and YES, she still LOVES those green beans!I mentioned how those tree rats like the watering trough tooSuch a show off!Here is how I spent the AM portion of my FoURth of WOO-ly!

I didn't go out and watch the fireworks but Mom rekhorded them with the flashie beastie -if woo would like to see them, there are two videos - here is the FURST ONE - and here is the SEKHOND ONE

I'm going to turn this ovFUR to Mom now - she has a few things to share:

Thanks Khyra !

Yes, I'd like to share the incredible comment left on Saturday's post about Rocky's Guardian Angel Gracie - it was left by her mom and dad - it appears her mom signed up for a Blogger ID so she could leave one - here is the comment left by longlakekate:

All of the preparations were complete and we so anticipated being "adopted" by little Gracie!How quickly anticipation of her arrival turned to great sadness when we learned of her passing last Sunday morning. Gracie would have so loved it here with her Sibe sisters, Saki and Misha - both rescues themselves - waiting to welcome another little soul into their lives. How grateful we are for all the condolences we received from folks we've never met! Gracie was indeed a special little Angel - even in death she was able to help another find his way. You were never physically here with us but you are sorely missed. We will meet again sweet girl!

Kathy & Harry Buxton - Long Lake, NY

What a special tribute to a very special angel - I'm sure Gracie is already looking from across The Rainbow Bridge for the proper girl to fill her pawprints!

Kathy and Harry: I hope you are reading this - THANK YOU FOR VISITING - maybe you need a blog for your adventures!

One last thing I'd like to share - one of the Canadian SiberNetters - Marilyn and The Hubley Hooligans - and YES, they live up to THAT billing - shared this link with the SiberNet Group - all I can say is wow - on Sunday, another of the SiberNetters issued a challenge to the list - they had made a donation and would kick in an extra one for any SiberNet member that donated a like amount - well, we did - we couldn't not -

As you may have surmised, no transport for The Xterra this weekend - boy did it feel odd to not be up and on the road!

Khyra will be back tomorrow - she keeps saying she's got something to tell all of you - but you know how she can be!

Sunday Sharing - HOWLiday Style

Thanks for Frankie fur the pawesome Name Game suggestion fur today's post!
******
Furst some summer smile pikhs
My tree!
I was watching the neighbour fill their bird feeder!

Now to the story of how I bekhame ME - I've shared it in the past but we wanted to pawticipate in Frankie's Name GameMeet Whitney - taken August 19, 2006 with Mom's furry reliable Samsung Cell - it akhtually achieved 3-1/2 years plus in operation

In going thru past posts to share my name and such, I diskhovered THIS ONE from August of 2009 -

It is furry khool fur it shows the nice Amy lady's khanines - as they eye up 'Yvette' that Mom had transported - it turned out later that 'Yvette' was really 'Yves' - BOL!

Mom just knew I wasn't a Whitney - so she made use of the name she had khonsidered using if she evFUR had a human pup: KYRA - but she got khreative and went with our now patented trademarked khopywrited h addition to bekhome

KHYRA
******

I asked Merdie if she wanted to play along too - she woofed SURE - so we hit the arkhhives here and found THIS POST that shows Merdie and her sister Lexie and shows that Merdie was previously known as TALLULAH - she needed a name to khomplement the Lexus already in the fleet ;-)

BTW, Merdie and I have some Merdie moment pikhs to share tomorrow - all we khan say is be ready!

******It looks like BleuJaye is getting ready fur the fireworksBath timeMaybe I need to get some wee rubber dukhkies!

This is truly one furry busy publikh bath - there is a nevFUR ending flight path in - somedays Mom fills it multiple times - she swears and dekhlares the khatbirds return 0.000002 sekhonds after they've flown away - the robins, sparrow, and finches have khome to rely on it - and so have those tree rats - Mom should have inkhluded the pikhs of them we snagged last week - maybe she'll do that fur Monday - AND of khourse the khats like it too -

We hope evFURRYone has a safe Sunday - and if woo are 'here' a HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!

I think she'll get out and take some videos of the fireworks later this evening so we khan all enjoy them from the safety of not being there fur them but getting to experience the beaWOOty they do khontain!

Hugz&Khysses,

Whitney and Tallulah

Saturday Sharing - The Cirkhle Of Life Edition

Furst off, the panoramikh shot we lost from FrEYEday's post
******
Now fur the sad part of our post fur today - Mom says prior to reading further you should get some tissues - you WILL need them
Please meet Gracie
She was Rocky's Guardian Angel -
I will let Mom tell the story

Thanks Khyra - yes, I would like to think that Little Gracie was Rocky's Guardian Angel from across The Rainbow Bridge

Gracie was to have been on this past Sunday's transport - she was a six month Siberian Husky puppy - surrendered by a young owner that wasn't prepared for what adding a Siberian to their life required - so they gave Gracie the promise of a better life and surrendered her -

Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be - I got a call Sunday morning whilst in Harrisburg with Jett and Anton - if you watched their videos, you heard me get the call -

Gracie has crossed sometime that morning between 4 and 5 am - a necropsy was done to determine the cause of death - at first it was thought it was due to complications from her spay - which had been done the previous Wednesday - but the results indicated it was Parvo related - it has worn her system down sufficiently to compromise her healing from the spay - she couldn't fight it off -

As soon as I heard the news I knew what Gracie's job was now meant to be: she was to become Rocky's Guardian Angel - the angel that would help guide him - help show him it was time to end his Run-A-Bout so he could get ready for the wonderful chance at furever happiness that she wouldn't get to have 'here' -

I guess since she was just a pup, she hadn't quite found the voice she needed to use to convince Rocky it was time - so it took until Monday for him to hear her message and realise he needed to do it for Gracie -

SOOOOO, with many tears, we thank you Gracie - please wear your little silver harness with pride - knowing you made a difference even if you didn't get to do it 'here' - one day, all of us will get the chance to thank you for the opportunity to share the following pictures

Here are some more pics of the incredible RockyThanks GracieFor letting us have the chance to see this awesome Akita strut Thanks to Chris for being the first one on the scene Monday afternoon (AND FOR SHARING THESE PICTURES)Thanks to Amy for showing the power of never giving upAnd for sharing your winning smile!

Here is the link to a Photobucket slideshow of Chris's pictures she shared with the Rocky Rescue E-Mail list - she had zipped them into three files - I asked if I could create a PB album of them - obviously she said YES!

As we were building this post, I meant to include two pics from our Road Trip Sunday post from June 27 which showed about where he had been hanging out and waiting for Rocky's Angels - I did go update the two pics that show just how close we were to him - actually, when Amy and I saw him on the move that morning, he was probably heading there!!!Khyra and I would like to share all these flowers with all involved - either in the search efforts OR with support 'here'

FrEYEday SkEYEday With Some Sadness

We send our condolences to our friends in Columbus, OHIO for the loss of their nesting female on Thursday - it was a rough week for them - as one of this year's fledglings was found dead earlier in the week - here is the link to their blog so may read more - I borrowed this pic from that blog - in particular, from the post announcing her death -
******
Flowers fur FrEYEday
Andrew and Rocky have their eyes on us!
Khlosed AND Open
Life is good!

Here are some portions of the note Amy sent to the reskhue list email group:

Rocky is doing well! He got a clean bill of health at the vet's office. He is very attached to Jay and I (particularly me) already and is doing well with my dogs and Andrew. My cat...not so much...lol.


On Friday, I will have fliers to pass out to the community announcing Rocky's rescue and inviting them to his celebration. Let me know if you can help to distribute.
Thanks again for being so wonderful! Rocky is one of the most obedient, loving, sweet dogs I have ever met...and he's still up for adoption if anyone is interested! :-)
Here is the info on the event...if anyone can bake for the celebration (doggy & people goodies), let me know.

ROCKY IS HOME!!!
Thanks to an amazing community effort, Rocky was found June 28th off of Lackawanna Avenue.
Please join us to celebrate Rocky on
Sunday, July 11th 10AM - 1PM.
Jake's Place @ Rockledge Garden Center
1621 Hamburg Turnpike
Wayne, NJ(973) 694-8117
Looking to Adopt? There will be adoptable dogs at our event.

Don't forget to bring our sweet Rocky a present! He will give lots of kisses in return!
Mom and I are planning to go - she wants to see Rocky again and give him khysses - we also want to see all the pawesome people that helped make this all happen - we also want to see Amy again so she khan REALLY meet me - we know last weekend was one giant autopilot blur to her - she had written to Mom that she felt so badly to finally have people she'd only emailed and/or spoken with under such circumstances - she so wanted to share a khup of khoffee and a hug but the urgency and stress of Rocky's Run-a-bout didn't pawmit that!

It turns out the street he was found off of was the khross street to MY stakeout khorner as we were at the khorner of Lackawanna and McBride!

We had hoped to have received one of the fliers to inkhlude in the post but they weren't khomplete by the time I had to put this together - Mom did see the furst drafts of it - she's looking furward to the finished produkht!

SOOOOOO, if woo are near Wayne NJ, khome on ovFUR and meet Rocky - AND ME!
