Mattydale's one year old!!!

Hi Gma Mary,How are you doing? We been thinking a lot about you. I had a birthday partytoday with my brothers & sister(cat)Mom made cupcakes & put peanut butter frosting on them, I gobbled mine rightdown! I even got a new toy, I felt very special today, Mom tells me & mybrothers & sister all the time that she loves us, sometimes she does say weare quite spoiled. A boy has to take advantage of all he can get! All wehave to do is bat our eyes, wag our tails, snuggle on their laps, & rollover for belly rubs & then we have them wrapped around our paws!Tell Gpa Philip we all said hi.Saying our paw prayers for you always.LOLThe Birthday Boy Mattydale

Good Morning

Saturday morning when Philip walked down the drivewa to the mailbox, he found a huge box (ProFlowers) stuffed into a snow bank all the way up to th "Pro". He ran it in the house and sure enough, there was the above boquet of spring flowers inside. They were frozen solid and tightly budded. They were cut too short for the red vase, but we clipped them anyway, put them into room temp water and food and waatched while holding our breathis. Here this morning, you can see that we are pleasantly surpried with the flowers having survived. Some of th leaves are a little squashy, but the flowers are lovely. Thanks you Fran, Lennard, Lacey and Chester for such a welcomed spring sprize. We really needed that.

It's bee a while since I updated everyone on our situation here. Using the computer is difficult for me. One of the side effects of the chemo is blurry eyes that get tired. So I'll keep this short. We are both strong and happy. I'm a little exhausted most days with the 14 days of non stop chemo. Yesterday was the end of the first sesson. Now I'm off for 7 days and then will restart the again. No real discomfort as Philip is riding herd over me all the time. Janice is right there in the middle making sure I'm taking care of, too. I'm truly blessed.

This morning I recieved a clip from You Tub from our good friends in the UP of Michigan an have included it for you to enjoy, too. Please know that all is well here and you'll know otherwise if things change. Love you all.

Mary

Jr Firedog Neo

Our Firedogs...original group......now recruiting!

LOL..........Our firedogs, Jasper/Brinkley & Mattydale sent Neo a surprise

package. Looks like they have recruited yet another firedog for the rank & files!

Our boys rock!

Sunny's Max reporting in, too.

Hi Mary, hope things are going well for you and Phillip. Wanted to give you an update on our precious Max. He has received all his shots and his rabies vaccination certificate. He went in on Monday for his neutering and surgery went well and he is home resting comfortably. His incision is clean and healing very nice. weighting in at 16 pounds he is very healthy and playful. Max and Gillian (our cat) have become best friends and even share toys and play together, sometimes. His favorite treat has to be carrots, which I am very happy about. Christmas was a blast this year having Max in the house and he got spoiled from all our friends and family. I attached some pictures of him playing with gifts from Santa.


Jennifer Meeley

Daisy's Kasey (Reef) checking in...

Mary and Phillip, Kasey enjoys playing in the snow and and pushing snow along with his nose. He also enjoys catching snowballs. He celebrated his birthday with one of his favorite treats, a plain McDonald's hamburger. Kasey is such a good and loving boy and Wendy and I know it is because of Gma Mary,Gpa Phillip and him being an SBG cocker. Hope and prayers for you and Philip with all that you are going thru. Glenn,Wendy and Kasey

Maggie & Weylin

These two were on the love seat enjoying the sun coming up. I thought it was a good photo opportunity, but they wanted to run. Of course, Philip to the rescue.

Lily and Basil

Lily had just come in from outside potty time and ran to her chair by the wood

burner. Of course since she's blind, she didn't realize the chair was already occupied

by Basil!! So they just ended up cuddling until everyone was warm again.

Lost stick........found!!!

The snow covered all my sticks that I carry around. Mom was happy about that because she claims
I loose focus on the business I’m supposed to do.

However I fooled mom and dug out a stick. Can’t you just read what I’m saying??....How do you like me now??!!

Hope your feeling good and keeping Gpa Philip in line.

Miss you and love you

Abby

A message from Dove

Hi Gma Mary, Gpa Philip and Janice


I just want to let you know I'm happy in my forever home. I have Bob and Sherri trained, they love me to pieces
and tell me I'm just the perfect pup for them. Everybody in the family loves me...especially the grand kids!!
The neighbor guy comes over with me almost everyday for a couple hours...he just can't get enough of me!!....but then again,
I'm a SBG mobster....what else can you expect??

I was at the groomers recently, and the report I got was that I can come back anytime for a grooming. They just loved my personality.

Life is good! Thank you for chosing Bob and Sherri to find me. I love and miss you all.
Tell the mob I miss them, but I'm doing good....and spoiled.
