Hi everyone! Sorry it has been so long since I have written but we have had a crazy household for a few weeks.  Something about a wedding but I don't know what that is.  Anyway, during this "wedding" I had to go spend a couple nights at another house and it was kind of scary for me. The lady was really nice and gave me lots of attention but I couldn't figure out why dad would leave me.  So, I sat at the sliding door watching for him to come back for quite some time!!  Finally, I got over it and had a good time.  There was a young dog there and man was she full of energy!!  We got along great but boy-o-boy was I glad to see dad when he came back!!!  Just about wiggled right out of my skin!!

Before that we had another foster girl, Sandy 09-126, stay with us for a couple weeks till she found her permanent foster home.  She was really nice but boy.....I have never seen a dog with so much fluffy fur!!!  Mom spent alot of time brushing her to get her all pretty for her new forever home.  Someone is going to be lucky to get her because she loves her people and loves attention.  I got pushed out of the way a few times but that is OK since she didn't get much attention in her "pre-RAGOM" life.  I knew that mom would make time for just me and she did.  We would sneak up to the bedroom and she would let me get on the bed so we could snuggle!!!  That was worth waiting for!!

I am feeling really good and still eating great too.  Some of my favorite "extras" are green beans and cooked spaghetti noodles!!  I just go nuts for them. I have to go back to the vet in a few weeks for some more blood tests to make sure the pesky heart worms are all gone and to see how my kidney functions are doing.  I will be sure to let you know what he has to say. All good things...I am sure of it!!

Keep checking out my page and all the other available dog pages!!  So many loving dogs waiting for someone to give them a chance at a new life!  Just do it!!!!

Hey everyone... sorry I haven't written in so long. We had a beautiful girl, Romy, 09-061, for a couple weeks so we had a full house!! She is a big girl but I really liked her. I played with her a little but she was so big that I got a little scared, even though she was very gentle when she played. Plus the "old timers" around here don't appreciate it when the younger dogs try to wrestle! Party poopers!!

I have been feeling just great! I even got to go to PetSmart last weekend to meet all kinds of dogs and people. Everyone thought I was really cute and couldn't believe how healthy I looked. I got along with all the dogs......no problem. What I really liked were the birds and big rats that were in cages!! I tried to scratch my way to them until FM told me I could not do that. I just wanted to get a little closer to them!!

Oh, and I got to see that handsome Harley, 09-035, again and he looks just great!  He might only have 3 legs but he gets around really good! Someone is going to be very lucky to get that big hunk of a lovable dog!!!

I met a woman who knows the man that found me out in the country so I told her to give him a big kiss from me to say thank you. Thanks to him, and my SUPER DUPER sponsors, I am back to my healthy self!! I like to roll on my back and nip at mom's ankles!! She thinks it is pretty funny too. Oh, and I discovered the joy of chewing on bones! My sister Bailey was hiding them under her dog bed so she could have them all to herself. Well, I showed her and nabbed one of them!! Now she just lays and watches me so when I get up she can take it away from me. Sneaky old lady!!

I went to the vet today and got weighed. I gained 1 pound. Not much but all I am eating is my dog food with none of the "toppings" so everybody was happy that I gained a pound. Next Monday I have to go back in to have my blood tested so I will be sure to let you all know what the doc has to say. From the way that I feel, I think he will have good things to report.
 
Well, I think the old lady is outside so I better get back down stairs and get that bone again!! I will write again soon but in the meantime....... think SPRING!!

  I feel pretty, oh so pretty!!
Another great week has gone by and I have gained 2 more pounds!!  Mom said now I have to learn how to eat my meals without the good tasting wet food.....that is not so good.  But, I will give it a try!!I am really feeling better the last week or so.  I have so much more energy and mom says a "spring in my step".  I am still sleeping in the bedroom with everyone else at night but sometimes mom and dad will find me sleeping in my kennel.  It is nice and cozy warm so I still like to go there once in awhile.....with the door open!!  Last night I beat my sister Bailey up to the dog bed in the bedroom and she got a little cranky so mom had to bring the dog bed from the living room up so that we each had one.  Bailey gets kind of weird when she is stressed and starts nibbling on things during the night.  Things like bed comforters, rugs, a stray sock or even her dog bed.  Guess that happens when you are almost 13 years old!!! So mom thought she better make sure she had HER bed to avoid the dreaded hydrogen peroxide drink!!!  Yuck!!!I was trying to play with mom yesterday but still a little unsure how that works.  She would clap her hands at me and I would act like I was going to get her.  Then I went downstairs and just walked around the kitchen and living room barking.  No reason......I guess I just liked the sound of my voice!!  It sure made mom and dad laugh and drove my fur brother Bugsey crazy!!!!I got to meet a really cool guy the other night.  Harley 09-035 (be sure and check out his page).  He is a lovable big lug and everyone thinks that I am in lovvvvvvvvvvve with him just because I followed him all over with my tail wagging really fast.  He had to have surgery to have his leg amputated so I am excited to see him when he comes to visit again.  I hope he feels better soon!  Someone is going to be very lucky to get him because he is really lovely and likes to be next to his people.  And did I mention that he is a "hottie"?Well, that is about all till next week.  I go the Dr. next Monday and he will give a good check over to see how my heart worm treatments have worked and check out my kidney functions.  Ta Ta for now!!  This could be Mr. Right!! Harley 09-035

This is Brooklyn and I am back!!  Boy I had a couple bad days after my last treatment but I am feeling much better.  The picture of me on my back was the night I got home.....I tried everything to get comfortable.  Even my back and I have NEVER done that before.  Mom and dad were so worried about me!!!  It worked out good because they didn't make me go in my kennel that night.  The put a gate across the spare bedroom door and let me sleep in there with a REAL bed and even a computer.  Don't tell them but I did a little web surfing after they fell asleep!!!  Wish I would have had their credit card number because I saw some sweeeeeeeeeeeeet stuff on line!!!  And I haven't had to go in my kennel since then because I was such a good girl.  Oh, I got sick one night but they weren't mad and I have gotten to sleep in that room every night.
 
I am eating really well also.  The other picture I sent shows me getting a little something to eat. My foster sister Bailey, 08-283, showed me just the right way to get some people food!!  She is 13 so she has been "around the block"!!!  And I have been eating my dog food.  I am not much of a morning eater but at night..............watch out!!!  I eat all my food and act like I am still hungry.  That gets me some green beans and other good stuff.
 
Mom said I don't have to go back to the Dr. for another month.  When I do go back he will check me out to see if those nasty worms are gone and check my blood to see if the kidneys are shaping up.  I will keep you posted on that.
 
Like I told you all before, I am a fighter and I will get better.  With the love of my foster family, RAGOM, Dennis & Joanne M. and all of you, I will get strong and healthy again.  I will get to take that long walk with my dad and foster siblings to the park to smell the grass and see all the people that are watching the ball game.  To have them pet me and tell me what a beautiful dog I am.  Oh, life is good!!

I feel good!

It's in the eyes!

Just a note to let you know that not much has changed with Brooke.  Seems her coughing may have increased a little but with a calming touch, she quiets down pretty quickly.  She has days when she eats like a horse and then days (like today) when we cannot get her to eat no matter what we try.  But, we keep offering it to her in hopes that she will change her mind.  She will go to see the vet tomorrow and he will check her out.  We will let you all know what he has to say.  So, we have included some pictures of her in the snow. She loves to go out in it except when the temp is so cold that it makes her feet hurt.  But even then she goes out and does her job and comes quickly back in the house. She got to meet her Foster sister Violet's (08-582) new family and told me later that she thinks we found the perfect match for her!!!  She was very happy! Everyone stay warm and we will update again soon when we have some news!!
