Valentine Ball

This post is from "mean ole cat Dietzman" I told him I would help him type.  He heard about the Valentine Ball and wanted me to ask SocksLucyFur if she would like to cut the rug a few times with him?

Whirlwind Weekend-Memories!

"Memories in the corner of my mind...misty watercolored memories..." OMP what an eventful weekend. First, Stan my love flies clear over the ocean to see me and escort me to Madi's swearing in ceremony. Second, the girl grandmonsters stay the weekend and their Mom takes lots of cool pictures with her new camera.
 Brother Dietzman went over his long list of rules for Stan to follow while he was with me this weekend.  He gave Stan the "mean ole cat Dietzman" stare and Stan about had a cardiac arrest!  You know how big brothers are sometimes.

Then little sister Magpie gives us the stink eye, cos we are Not letting her tagalong this time!  Last night at the restaurant was bad enuf!  Besides, we plan on being out past her bedtime!!  Dad almost changes his mind, and was going to let her come along as our chauffeur but Mom stepped in and told him to knock it off!!

Mom and Maggie (Stan calls her Moose now) helped me into my party dress and straighten my necklace out so I look just perfect.  Ms. Ellen and her kids sent me this beautiful dress and sweater!

 Oh the ceremony was just precious, and now Madi is the Mayor of Blogville.  Stan shook hands with my friends and He even danced once with Puddles. He said he was a little nervous around her cos she kept blowing beer breath in his ear.  I danced the night away with Goose, Ernie, Casey and Stan.  Mom couldn't figure out Sasha's robot test so we were never able to eat all the great food she brought.  Sometimes mom's robot brain causes us problems on here.

Dad was waiting up when we arrived back home and he took Stan down to the hotel to stay for one more night before he flew out this morning.

Stan had a special surprise for me to end a perfect evening.  In front of everyone at the hotel he sang my special song to me..."Memories".....tears were in my eyes.

As he prepared to fly away this morning....he told me he would be back soon.  He is wearing his special pilot outfit made just for the snow!

what a great party .  last night Stan and I went out to eat at dad Greek res where he works and Stan felt so sorry  for Maggie and her sad face

that we took her with us .  she sat between us per dad's orders . Stan wore his tux  everyone kept asking for his autograph..later we walked down by the riverriver and I showed him the hotel dad said he had to stay at.  we are getting ready for the party Stan says he can t wait to meet all my friends.

CINDERELLA & HER PRINCE

This is Stan, he is my bestest friend in the whole wide world.  He lives in Morecrombe, England and he is coming with me to Madi's ceremony on Saturday.  Doesn't he look like James Bond!  I called and asked him if he could possibly go with me, and the next thing I knew he was flying over on his private plane, just to dance with sweet little me!!! What a PUG!!  Stan, wins lots of awards at the dog shows in England, so he is really smart, and I imagine he can do alot more tricks and follow directions better than me. It doesn't matter to him tho, cos he just cares about me for who I am.  Humans, can learn alot from us can't they.  Mom, is currently working on the fitting of my dance dress and Margaret is pouting in the corner.

We will post pictures on Monday unless the tooth fairy, santa claus, and the easter bunny all show up to work on our WIFI!!!!

P.S. I still have a place on my dance card for Goose and maybe Ernie if he ever asks me, oh and Casey asked for a dance also.

I am in TROUBLE

Mom was very mistaken about Magpie sleeping the rest of the day away after her arrival back from the Vet.  I swear he must have put high fructose syrup in that shot cos she was bouncing ofF me, and the walls the rest of the day.  It took her till late last night to settle down, and by that time we were all wore out.

My Dad is very mad at me at the moment.  Apparently, last night when he put me out to go potty I decided to fall off the wagon (I am a reformed poop eater) and it grossed him out and he yelled and said lots of bad words!!!  Of course he blamed Mom cos she has been adding such good fruit and veggies to my food, and Mom said that was not the reason.  You know Mom has raised three daughters, and now has eight grandchildren and well DAD has never had kids, except by osmosis (the grandkids) so Mom is MUCH smarter in kids learning than him. Plus, she taught preschool for years before becoming a legal-eagle assistant.  Mom says the reason I am doing that is cos of Magpie and I am regressing a bit cos of changes in our home.  Dad said bull hocky well not those words but close.  Mom said maybe its cos we went back to Blue B. food and she likes it more than my other food.  I just want to tell them it is a phase I am going through, and I guess if I eat enuf poop the monster will go back to where she came from.

P.S. A special thank you to Bunk the PUg for sending me my new retractable leash with a beautiful picture of a pug on it!!!

2nd Vet Visit

Today Magpie had to go to the Vet for her second round of shots.  She also needed her stinky glands cleaned.  Mom was surprized cos she is just a baby...that she was having probs with that already! There goes our treat monies for the month. She weighs 7.5 lbs. and is now 12 weeks old....she has lived with us for 3 weeks, 5 hours and 23 minutes. (Remember she was 3lbs. at 8 weeks, are you sure she isn't a great dane like rory, mom?)  If she is not sleeping she is zooming through the house like a madpug attacking anything in her path.  I am usually up on the laps so she can't get me. Mom says only I will be attending Madi's party on Saturday....cos I am the big sister not the baby!

THE BEST LAID PLANS

This is Stella's Mom and she is allowing me to post some thoughts today.  My kids bought me a kindle fire for Christmas, and I am learning  to use it. I have had it for almost two weeks and ALMOST have the wireless hooked up in the house so I can use the internet on it...but I can download books on it SOMETIMES.  I wanted to share a book with you that I read over the weekend.  It is called THE DOG WITH THE BROKEN EAR.  It only cost $2.99 as a ebook.  If anyone else wants to read it and if anyone on here can tell me if I can share it just let me know, cos I gladly will pass it on.  I have even started to reread it last night cos it touched my heart so much. Its funny and sad, and true. And it made me think.  The woman rescued a dying dog on the side of the road and in the beginning of the book envisioned how wonderful life would be for them. I can relate. It did have a wonderful ending.

This book made me start to think about Trudie and how "proud" of myself I was for rescuing her and saving her from that terrible life she had.  I thought I was saving the dog world through one little pug at a time.  I did not. My head must have swelled up so big for doing something grand that I didn't think things through and the consequences of doing something "good".  I know Turd had a good year with us, and it was the best year she had ever had, BUT I will always feel like I failed her.  I could have done better, and I will always always regret that.  I was dumb about the issues rescue dogs have, and how to deal with them.  If there is ever a next time, I will do better and be smarter.  For now, I am just trying to enjoy magpie in her puppy stage and try not to hurry her though it.  I can tell Stella is no longer the Stella Rose that lived at our house, with Turd and Sammer, and it makes me very sad. She is a different Stella and it is a new chapter of our lives.

Baby Bean Pictures

My mom is very determined when it comes to figuring out what the heck is the reason she can't load pictures...so she read on the internet problems people were having and she downloaded foxfire and after hours (cos she is a internet buff just like she cooks) she got it to work!

Taa Dahhhh........
Introducing Piper Ryan Hamberg!

Baby Bean and Family

I tried to post pictures and the blogger has an attitude and won't let me. Doesn't it know it is beans gotcha day and we need pictures!!!!!!!
stella rose

SHE'S HERE......

Yep Mom stopped by last night to check on us and tell mag's and me we are now new aunts to a little bitty baby bean named Piper Ryan Hamberg.  She weighed 7 lbs. 3z. and 19 inches long.  Mom says both her and her mommy are doing just great and will probably get to go home tonight.  About that name Piper....see about ten years ago Momma started suggesting to everyone she knew that was going to have a baby including her OWN daughters the name Piper, NO ONE LIKED IT!!  Mom, almost named me Piper cos as far as she knew there would be NO MORE grandmonsters, but something told her not to give the name away just yet.  Thats why moms baby kept it a secret from her and everyone else, and the middle name...Ryan...well that name is Mom's oldest baby girl middle name, Kylei Ryan, and here her little sister picked it for her new baby girls middle name...how special is that!!!  I secretly was hoping the new surprized name would be STELLA ROSe!!  Pictures later to come.
Stella Rose

IS IT A GREEN BEAN...A LIMA BEAN...NO ITS BABY BEAN!

Remember way back mom told you guys that she was going to have another baby girl grandmonster....well today is Baby Bean's birthday....we hope.....mom's baby girl went to the hospital this morning and they decided that Bean needed to be born today.....wowowwwwweeeee!!!!  Mom is going to work for a little while then head out to the hospital because she has always been there when her grandmonsters have been born.  The hospital is only 5 blocks away so she will make it in plenty of time.  Mom knows her real name but we have called her baby bean for 9 months now, so she may always be baby bean..lol.....we are so excited...can you tell!!!  

Mom will not be home tonight tho cos she is going to stay all night with beans brothers...we are on our own until dad gets home from work!

Stella Rose

HaPPY NeWYEAR!!

Happy New Year 2013 to all my blogging friends and family.  When mom and me think back over the year, we realize having you guys in our lives, made the hills and valleys much easier.  Again, we are blessed.  Mom is having computer crap problems so we are waiting on our new wifi to get hooked up maybe towards the end of the week, until then we can read your blogs but not answer them.  We will be back real soon!!
Stay safe tonight!!

Little Smokies

Remember this summer when Mom wanted to surprise me and turd, and sammer with some turkey hotdogs for treats, and her robot brain got distracted and this is what happened along with enuf smoke in the house, to notify the fire department......well....my mom has a favorite pan that her sister gave her in the hopes of making a good cooker out of her, and she used it to make little smokies with barbecue sauce last night, she opened the packages, added barbecue sauce, and put it on simmer, apparently a little to long, cos now there is 2 1/2 inches of burnt smokies and sauce in the pan, laying in the trashcan. Maggie and I made a pact not to tell Dad.

A CHRISTMAS STORY

This story is about Maggie (sorta) so Mom put her picture on here instead of mine.  We have some new ones but don't have them downloaded yet.  So...... on Christmas Eve morning Maggie had a appt. at the Vet for her round of shots (hehhehe) and new puppy checkup.  She looked pretty stupid cute in her little pink bunny rabbit hat, (pictures to come) and it was cold out so she wore her matching scarf also.  Well we hates to go to the Vet and Sammer really hated it cos of their big ole cat that roams the rooms there.  They had a hate-hate relationship going on.  I wondered what Mag's would think of her first visit.

Mom said as soon as they walked in the door the cat's hair stood up on his back and he ran and jumped up on top of one of the shelves. The vet said he didn't know what was going on with him. (maybe it was the bunny ears that freaked him out) Then when Maggie went into her room to be Tortured checked out the Cat came in there and yowled and ended up way up high knocking of boxes.  The Vet assistant had to catch him and take him out of the room.  They both said he had never acted like that, and had grew up in the office and was use to dogs and cats coming and going.  Maggie got her shots, medicine for bacteria infection in her ears, and now weighs 5 lbs.  They thought she was a cutie.

Mom told Dad the story later that night, and they got to talking about the night they got Maggie, and how she just ran over to me, and ran around the house like she knew where everything was at.  Remember she ran right over to the toybox and stole each and every toy and put them in Sammer's bed.  She snuggled with mom and dad like she had always known them.  We want to believe that Sammer's spirit guides litte Maggie or maybe that his loving heart lives within....we don't know....we just believe.

THE GREAT CHILI SOUP WAR

THIS is not a picture of moms chili soup but close....so anyway mom decided yesterday since it was cold outside she would COOK chili soup for supper.  Dad says Great and so did the boy grandmonster.  Well momma slaved over the hot stove opening cans of beans, tomatoes, juice and cooking the meat...working hard.  Dad said DO NOT USE BAKED BEANS and Mom told him she didn't.  One time she made chili and used Bush's baked beans, guess Dad didn't like that.

Anyway you all know Moms cooking experience is -21 but she tries!  So supper time rolls around and naughty words start coming out of Dads mouth cos mom used pork and beans along with kidney beans in the soup.  The big argument starts and Dad refuses to eat any chili soup.  Mom doesn't like to argue in front of the monsters or us, so she just silently sends him death glares and nicely told him that she would NEVER EVER cook for him again.  Nicely.  Dad told her to stop being dramatic just don't put those kinds of beans in chili anymore...mom said they have been together for 10 years and he is just NOW telling her that...she was mentally packing his clothes and throwing them out in to the big snowstorm!  So the rest of the night she only talked to us and the grandmonster and looked at dad with homicide in her eyes.

Poor mom she tried so hard.  She sent the chili home with the grandmonster today and did give Dad a small hug just in case he died on the icy roads going to work.

SHARED HEARTS

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

This is a picture I received yesterday from my boyfriend in England.  His name is Stan.  His grandpa used photoshop to make this wonderful picture!!  Doesn't it look just like he is in the coal bucket with me!! Stan is a wonderful friend.  Even though he is faraway from me, he is always watching out for my heart.  Stan  and his mom also sent me the pamplet of the pugmas event where they sent the balloons flying into the air for Turd and Sammer.  Stan says there is a possibility that there could be a new pug arriving in their home next year.  I didn't want to tell him but next year is right around the corner!!

Well Mom got to go home at noon yesterday and we were sooooo happy she was safe and sound.  Dad was home and one of the boy grandmonsters so we had a fun day watching movies, and just resting up for the weekend.  I didn't get to go out in the snow until dark cos of the 40-50 mph winds blowing.  We now have lots of BIG tree branches all over the ground broken from our old pine tree. 

Snow was blowing so bad the snow removal trucks couldn't keep up.

This next picture happened on the highway.

No one was hurt.

Mom didn't take any pictures yet of me and the snow.  She has a hard time holding onto my leash cos I was jumping in the air like a little reindeer.  I loved it, but mom didn't let me stay out very long cos of the cold.  Margaret didn't get to go outside at all cos mom said they would lose her in a snowdrift.

Merry Christmas to all my friends.  This is mom's last day of work until Wednesday so we may not be back on here until then.  We are sending Christmas love from the bottom of our hearts!!  You are all packages under our tree!!!
Bless Each of You!

WINTER HAS ARRIVED!

Mom and I woke up this morning to the sound of rain at 6 A.M. two minutes after that, we heard ice falling and thundar, 2 minutes after that we heard wind, lots of wind, and saw snow...now it is 10:06 A.M. Mom is at work, listening to 40 mph winds blowing and lots and lots of snow...her little white car is almost covered. We have surpassed the 4 inch mark...and it supposed to snow until midnight.  Her boss that lives 2 blocks away didn't come in, he called and said for mom to call him at lunchtime and he would decide then if she could leave a little early today.  Bless his heart.

GUESS what I got more cards and two boxes in the mail yesterday.  Mom has started to decorate another door with cards cos we filled up one door and door frame and still they are coming.  The postperson asked Dad yesterday just what is going on, and Dad just shook his head.  Its called doggy and kitty love, its that simple.  Anyway Ms. Ellen and all her puggies sent me and maggie a box full of goodies, just cos they love us, and i am an honorary sista.  Maggie is not.  Mom is going to try to take pictures but that won't happen anytime soon, cos of the crappy camera, but it had a blankie for me, bully sticks, greenies, toys, nylabones, food bones some was mine and some was maggies. She promptly grabbed a bone, and ran to my bed, and left me alone to look at all our gifts.  Thank you Ms. Ellen that was so much fun!  Dad just shakes his head again!! (He is secretly smiling though)

THEN we got another box from Science Hills sending us some new treats they want to put on the market.  They sent a little card that we were chosen to try them out.  Mom thought that was really great.  It said we needed to be honest and to let them know.  Well okayyyyyyyy......they were made out of cranberries, and oat flour....they were to big for my puggy mouth and to hard for me to even chew.  Dad got the hammer (yep) and broke them into four pieces but I still hard problems eating them.  Mom said there was no way she was eve gonna let Mag have any.  So we want to say thank you to Hills for trusting us with our opinion, we just think they would work better for a bigger doggy.

LAST we were looking at Nola's pictures and reading her blog today.  We really loved the picture of two footprints on the sand, one a person's and one a furkid.  That got me to thinking, so I and mom are gonna go outside when she gets home and tromp around the yard, and then check to see if Turd or Sammer is right beside us.  Dad says we are nuts cos Turd and Sammer are way to smart to go out in this kind of storm! 
Have a cozy day!!

MARGARET

When Mom brought Margaret home she thought it would be nice to have a picture together. I am not smiling but Margaret has a little sneaky smile on her face.  I know she was planning on what method she would use to swipe my toys.

I tried to whisper to her that I would share SOME of my toys with her, but I needed to DECIDE that and not her cos after all they ARE my toys.

Then she tried to fool everyone in the house, with her big eyed innocent look, and little cute smile.  She didn't fool me at all!

Later when no one was looking she smiled REAL big cos she knew she had devious plans all along!! Mom is going to have this picture made for MY dad for christmas.....sigh.........

NIGHTMARE ON DODGE STREET

Still no good pictures of Margaret but we will soon.  She is becoming my arch Nemesis and there must be something done about it. I thought in the beginning it was just a trial run to see if she was the one we wanted, and if it didn't work out in 72 hours we would send her up the river.  She is still here.  Dad just loves her, and Mom does too, and I could possibly like her IF and only IF she would stop biting me, chasing me, hiding every freakin toy in the house in HER (mine) bed and hogging my bedspace at night.  She doesn't understand my rules and it is beside my comprehension as it why that is happening. 

On another note though this morning my mom and I are so happy cos our friend Allred is back home. Mom told me the other day that she never realized becoming a blogger would bring her a whole new family; and with families also comes happiness, and some sorrow.  (You all know Mom is more comfortable handling her very small world, but now she is way out of her comfort zone.)  Miracles do show up in weird furry packages and sometimes they DO come back home!!
Merry Christmas
Stella Rose and Momma

Crappy Camera...crappier pictures

HERE I AM  IN ALL MY GLORY!  (hopefully daughter #1 will have better pictures!)

OMP I AM BLURRY AND MY EYES LOOK WEIRD THAT IS NOT HOW I REALLY LOOK....

THIS IS MY SWEET SISTER.HEHHE...STELLA LOOKING AWAY FROM ME..HOPING I WILL DISAPPEAR.

HERE I AM LOOKING UP AT MY MOM SHE CAUGHT ME PLAYING WITH STELLA'S NEW CHRISTMAS TOY

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST HERE I AM SHAKING THE SQUIRREL...YOU CAN TELL I AM NOT BIGGER THAN HE, BUT I AM MIGHTY.   BY THE WAY MOM'S FLOORS LOOK REALLY BAD..SHE IS EMBARRASSED. MAGGIE MOO

Voices in my Head

Mom said to tell you we are also going to do a See Beautiful post this afternoon.

Hi, my name is maggie and mom is introducing you to me! Daughter #1 took lots of pictures last night BUT forgot her camera so we will have to wait till Monday now...dang it!!!  The grandmonsters came to see me last night and the first thing the littlest monster said was, "she looks just like Trudie!"  (well that explains that voice in my head).  I played alot with the kids and mom was so glad that I loved them and they loved me. Why would she doubt that?

Then the monsters commented on how big my sista Stella looked.  Well that peeved her off right away and she mostly pouted the rest of the night.  She is a great big sister but she has got to get aboard the "I Am Staying Here" train!

Later Dad brought home a Christmas box that had been sent for STella and Dietzman.  Oh Stella was so excited and sniffed all the packages...(you don't have to pictures yet so you will just need to imagine it)! Then the funniest thing happened. I heard that other voice that I sometimes listen to in my head and as soon as Dad put ALL of Stella's presents on the floor, I grabbed everyone of them, and hid them in MY toybox!!!

Have a great Friday
Maggie Moo a/k/a Margaret

BINKIES and A BABY PUG

First I changed her named from Godzilla to Margaret that way when she hears me say Margaret she will know I am peeved at her.  Mom thought that sounded better anyway.  Yesterday Dad was home so he spent the whole day with us and let me tell you he got an eye full.  Here is a list of EVERYTHING she did wrong.
1. Missed the puppy pads one zillion times.
2. Sank her razor sharp teeth into my little tender ears one zillion times.
3. Stole and shook all of my toys.
4. Thought she was batman and dived off the chair....dummy.

Finally it was warm enuf Dad took us out to Alcatraz and she loved running all around.  I played keep away from her but she kept getting under my feet so I rolled her a couple of times to teach her the concept of KEEP AWAY!  She yelped and Dad told me I was being to rough.  WHAT...did he not read my list of transgressions....She is a 3.5 lb rat if you ask me.

Then later I went over to my toybox and brought out a binkie from the grandmonsters years ago.  Mom and Dad just looked at me, (cos now in their eyes I am a giant pug) and the next thing I know ratgirl stole my binkie and sat on Dads lap with it in her mouth.  Mom was working on her camera and lots of "wash your mouth out with soap" words came out of it, and she couldn't get the picture.  So imagine this...a small headed rat mostly hairless with a large pink binkie in their mouth that almost covers the bottom half of their face and she is looking at us with big eyes. Why would we want any record of that floating around!

Mom got all teary eyed later cos she was sitting on her lap and the next thing you know she started kissing mom and licking and biting her ears. Mom told Dad only Sammer ever did that to her.  Yep, I just knew he sent this little monster to shake up my world!  You ole stinker, Sammer!!

P.S. Mom had a hard time sharing yesterdays post with you, but she wanted to share about the power of friendship.

Friends

Mom was thinking about her friend from last night and the "gift" she brought to her.  She wanted to share another "gift" that her friend, Alethea in England gave to her yesterday.  My Mom is a BIG believer in signs. My boyfriend Stan lives in England with his mom.  We started to be pen pals last year, and we send little gifts and cards back and forth.  This weekend Stan went to a pug event and at the end of it they had balloons that they released into the air for the pugs that have went to the rainbow bridge.  Stan sent me the special pamphlet and on the back of it was Turds and Sammers name. 

Mom got to thinking about the balloons last night and everything they stood for to her.  Was it a sign?  We don't know but it just felt right.

GODZILLA

Sidebar (we don't know why that date shows on this picture cos I wasn't even born yet)

Last night when Mom got home Dad was EXCITEDLY waiting for our little guest to arrive.  Mom went and took a long hot shower, I waited on the floor with her. We were hiding in the bathroom.  Later Mom and I talked "alone" and she shared her   WHAT IF'S....what if this..and what if that ...you know she had the what if's stuck in her brain...a million of them.  THEN WE HEARD A KNOCK and DAD"S YAY...and OH SHE IS BEAUTIFUL!!  Mom said, "Damn!"

Finally, we worked up enuf courage to go see what all the excitement was about and there stood one of the homeliest pugs mom and I had ever seen.  It looked like someone had dunked her face and big paws in black paint and the rest of her body was tan with black in weird places.  At first she was quiet but then she looked around and Dad held her and then she got down and ran around like crazy.  Mom and I thought she looked like the saggy baggy elephant from an old Golden Book Story, but Dad kept saying how beautiful she was.  Dad was love-struck cos she was not beautiful!!  Cathy said she had some eye scratches so she was returned to the breeder. Mom said she is a shrimp! Dad said she is beautiful. I am in shock. Her tail wagged like crazy and Mom said she was surprized she had enuf strength to even wag her tail cos she is so tiny! THEN she went over to my toys in Sammers bed, and shook the brains out of my favorite little white bear toy.  It was my gotcha toy when I first came to live with MY mom and dad.  We were stunned, Dad said,"Wow he couldn't believe a tiny little pug knew what to do with toys!" Mom said, " um....." Cathy said, " oh she is a genius.." I was shocked, no words would come out of my mouth.  First of all I couldn't believe she was a pug like me, she looked like a scrawny mouse hyped up on crack! Second she should be in jail for shaking my baby bear!   Dad had stars in his eyes, and told my mom and me she would be the perfect gift for Christmas for me and him.  Mom wanted to throw up!   Then mean ole cat dietzman came along and slapped the pee out of her not once but three times, and it didn't stop her a bit from being happy.  That got Mom's attention.  I was thinking what a dumb pug!

Then she started chasing me all around, and heck I had to watch I didn't kill her when I stepped on her cos she is a shrimparoo!  Is she even healthy?  Take her batteries out of her NOW mom!  She chased me all around the house so much my tongue was hanging out ...Dad said she was better than a treadmill for me. Mom said Ummmmm.

Later Dad handed her to Mom and Mom sat in the chair with her and me.  She started to wag her tail, and lick moms face and try to bite me again for the millionth time, and Mom just wanted to cry cos she could see a little of Sammer in that black little face, and she tried to listen to her heart so she would know what was right me and for her. Then she snuggled in moms arms and went to sleep.

Dad picked out the name Daisy but by the end of the night she became Maggie Moo or Godzilla.  I am still wondering about this present but as long is Mom's okay with it then so will I be.  This morning EARLY Maggie decided she needed to get up so Mom and I got up with her (even tho she belongs to DAD), and she drank finally and ate her breakfast.  She even pottyed on the puppy pads. Cathy said she couldn't go outside cos its to cold and she will get sick.  Mom drank her coffee after her and I went outside for some peace and she whispered to me, "sometimes presents come in different packages then we would have ever imagined Stella..."
Pictures to come.

CHRISTMAS CARDS AND THE FAKE FLU

I am just loving getting all my Christmas cards from my buddies here in blogworld.  I have 47 and my parents have 2.  We all laugh about it and the grandmonsters just love it to.  My Daddy just shakes his head and marvels at the amount of cards rolling in each day for me.  My Mom says they are healing our hearts and we should be grateful for them and you.

My mom stayed home from work on Friday cos she thought she had the flu. She was super tired, but no pukes or headache or nothing just tired and icky looking.  She cleaned the house a little and laid around with me all day.  She did the same thing on Saturday which bummed her out cos she had shopping to do. Sunday came and she was even more tired and icky feeling. Now she is back to work, and Dad is off today with me so I have had lots and lots of hugs.  Mom got to thinking that maybe it wasn't the flu at all but that she was just heartsick.  I think she's right, cos right now her heart is mostly held together by fragile cobwebs and its not very strong. She and I both know it will get stronger and heal but not yet.  When we read all your understanding and sharing words it gets stronger. When one of you call us to just let us know that you care it gets stronger. We believe each and everyone of you are our heartlights and that makes us stronger.

The holidays are a fun time and a hard time for most people. I am glad I am here for my parents and that they are here for me. We are blessed to have each other and you.

Angry Birds

Nola has a giveaway today of four angry birds.  Sometimes I feel like an angry bird towards my dumb brother Sammer.  I wanted to let you guys know that I am feeling better and sometimes I forget to be mad, and the sadness creeps in.  I piled all of Sammer's toys in my bed, and I sometimes lay on them, and other times I shake the poop out of them.  Mom and Dad talk a little more about Sammer now and how much they were blessed to have him in their lives. I was blessed too but I am still mad.  Yesterday I almost walked to his grave but I stopped and turned back into the yard.  That must be step #9 and I am still at step #2.  I wonder if the rainbow bridge is decorated like our Christmas tree,  and maybe I should send Sammer and Turd a card. Turd's would say I love you much and forever.  Sammer's would say, I have all your toys now, so hahaha...I will give them back to you though if you could come see me.

Love Stella Rose

I don't know what my dippy sister did on this goofy blog but now I am getting a message from this fluffy tail cat out in the wild west who MIGHT be interested in me.  Well, what the heck!  I been an old loner my fifteen years, and sure ain't ready to change my ways no matter how much beer she plys me with or cat food either. Now she told me that she has NO interest in changing her ways and just wants to be who she is but you know those females have ways of changing what they say. One minute they are all independant and the next there moving into your spare room...nosiree...thats not a happening to me.  Now if she wants to send me a little nip now and then well I am not gonna take that pleasure away from her, but i don't want her a thinking they'll be something under her tree from me.  Girl its just the way I roll!

Marvalous Monday

Guess what I am going to do today?!  Yep, I am going over to aunt kyleis house, to be pugsitted by grandmonsters kenna and macey while my dad goes deer hunting with the boymonsters! Ain't that grand.  Her and macey are probably planning a tea party just for me.

Don't let that face fool you cos I bet she has all kinds of scary adventures planned just for me!! Plus I gotta worry about their CAT who  is really Scary!  He watches every move I make!

Mom had company over Saturday night --they were girls she went to high school with back in the stoneages.  To give u an idea of how long ago it was they are talking about their 40 th class reunion...yep that long ago!! Anyway one of the girls brought what I mistakenly thought was a new stuffie toy for me!  I was so excited that I tried to jump up on her lap to see it and OMP it barked at me!!  It was an alive stuffie..holey moley I didn't know what to think...I later found out it was her little Chihuahua and apparently she was not socially friendly. ( my question is then why did she come to my house to play) Anyway she stayed on her momma lap ALL night and basically ignored every funny thing I did to get her attention.  One of moms friends had just lost her little Toby to the rainbow bridge after having him for 12 years.  Mom told her about the bridge cos they had never heard of it, and after some tears shed by everyone they were happy to find out sammers, zeus, turd and just everyone is up there waiting on us to oneday see them.  Mom is going to send her the poem today.
Mom says she is noticing with Sammers gone I am doing a few things a little better, like walking on my leash in the yard to go potty.  I loves it now when mom says lets go for a walk, and then I do my business. See how smart I am, I don't even have to go in Alcatraz to do it anymore.  I also put all our toys in sammers bed, and now rest on top of them. Mom and Dad are still trying to figure out just what to do for me for Christmas. 
I will let you know how my adventure of the day went on tomorrows post!
