Chilling Out

Gemini decided to wear one of Dad's favorite hats.  It keeps the sun out of the eyes.

Things are going okay in Key West.  Brudder Steve called to report that Rocky crossed the Rainbow Bridge.   Never easy on hoomans when fur-ever friend crosses the bridge. 

There is good news in our home.  Dad is taking next week off so he can do his Essexmas backing.  We know all our friends will enjoy eating them.  We told Dad we have an order of cheddar collies.  We will see if he makes them for us.

Bo & Kira

There are new regular paws at Angel Paws.  The first is Kira, the black German Shepherd.  Kira likes to chase after her ball and rarely plays with the other pups.  She is a good pup that gets along with every paw.

Then there is Bo the Collie.  You may remember that we met Bo way back in May.  We thought he left, but then this month we started to see him again.  Bo's lean frame and ears reminds Dad of Deacon.  He is quite a handsome collie.

Bo Sure Is a Pawsome Looking Pup

As you can tell he is a lot taller than Sherman.  It took about two weeks before Gemini felt comfortable around him.  Then Gemini tends to be very cautious around new pups.

Thanksgiving 2017

It was a pretty good Thanksgiving.  Dad was off and told us tails of a trip to Ohio by Essex and Deacon back in 2009.  They traveled north to Ohio to see Dad's Pawther, who was born close to Thanksgiving.  The barkday cake had a turkey on it, BOL.

Dad enjoyed thinking of happy thoughts of his family. Then there was the story of Essex and Deacon playing in the snow.  Those two luck pups ate turkey too.  When Dad took them out for a walk in the snow, they both pooped.  Dad claimed it could kill a buzzard from 200 feet away.  BOL.

Dad spent time with friends and us.  As for Sherman's foot, he is doing well.

Sore Spot

Dad took me to the vet Saturday.  He noticed me licking my right rear paw.  When he looked closely, he noticed a sore between my toes.  Dad is putting on my hurt spot.  I told him that I was okay but Dad would have none of it.  Sigh. 

Dad has been a little sad today, so Gemini and I did our best to cheer him up.  Four years ago today Essex crossed the bridge.  When we started to lick his face Dad smiled at us.  Nothing like collie kisses to lift the blues.
