Sir Oliver PPD Rain

No pictures and no meeting Sir Oliver today.  We got to Angel Paws and then it started raining.  We waited in our vehicle.

We saw each other through the windows, but that doesn't count as meeting in our book.  So our meeting is postponed due to rain, until tomorrow. Sigh.

Dad is going to set up a vet visit for Essex tomorrow.  She has a sprained paw.  Dad can tell because of the swelling.  She is due for her annual visit any paw.  She isn't thrilled because there will be no Fence Patrol in the near future.  Double sigh.

Hopefully pictures and fun tomorrow.

16 January 2013

We are doing fine in Key West.  Dad's Brudder left way back on the 4th.  We miss the extra walks and treats.  Stevie-grrrr-Wonder commented on how big Sherman had grown.  He called Sherman Deacon more than once, which made us laugh.  Sherman didn't care, he just liked the extra attention.

Essex & Sherman Definitely Get Along

Dad chuckled at both of us.  First when he saw Sherman sleeping with his head under the dresser.  Then when at Essex, when she looked up at him with one ear was up and the other ear down.

Sherman's fur continues to grow in.  The whole spot is covered with fur, but it will take a couple more months before it will completely fill in.  Sigh.  He had hoped that it would have grown in by the time Sir Oliver came for his visit.  We are really looking forward to seeing him tomorrow.

Sherman's Coat Is Looking Better

The search for Dixie continues.  We pray and hope she will come home.  If we hear anything, we'll post.  Chuck and the Collies of the Meadow have done a pawsome job of getting the news out.  For more information about Dixie look at our earlier post Lost Collie Alert.

Sir Oliver Is Coming

We’re excited folks.  Our cyber-pal Sir Oliver e-barked us that he is going to visit Key West in a couple weeks.  We are so excited that we were chasing our tails.

This Bed Isn't Quite Right

There Pawfectly Arranged

Sherman and Sir Oliver both filled big holes in their packs life.  Sherman filled the hole left by Deacon's Rainbow Bridge Crossing.  Sir Oliver filled the hole left in his hoomans hearts after Ben the White Collie crossed the Rainbow Bridge.  Sir Oliver is two months older than Sherman, so they should get along pawfectly. 

This is going to be pawsome.

Lost Collie Alert

We were reading our chums at the "Collies Of The Meadow" and yesterday he had a post about a missing collie.  Dog Dad would be frantic if we were missing, so we wanted to send out an alert too.

Dixie has been missing since December 2, 2012 from Reidsville, Georgia. She went missing off of hwy 121 outside Tison, near Glennville GA. Dixie is a full blooded mahogany female Sable Rough Coat Collie girl. She was last seen wearing a pink collar with a heart tag with her name, address and phone number. She is 4 years old and has been spayed. If you have seen her or know of someone with a new dog that looks like Dixie please call Dixie’s mommy at (912) 334-9735.
Dixie’s 10 year old little girl misses her very much! There is a reward for her safe return. Please share these pictures with anyone you know.  More information pictures of Dixie can be found at http://glendalefarmcollies.com/gfc_113.htm.

Essex's Ninth Bark-Aversary

Dog Dad woke up this morning, walked over to me and gave me a sloppy kiss right on my forehead.  Then he said "Happy Bark-Aversary Essex."  I looked at him and smiled.  Then we went for a walk and when we got home it was dog treat heaven.  Cheddar collies, dog treats and cheese.

A Little Grayer Around The Muzzle

Bowsers, it is hard to believe that I have lived with my Dog Dad for nine years.  We have had lots of adventures together.  Plenty of happy and some sad times.  We look out for each other too.  Below is a picture taken during the first couple of months in Key West.

We'll time to go, see you next year cyber-paw pals.

Buddy & Islay E-Bark Us

Hope every paw is having a happy Collie Day.  We wanted to share two pawtographs we got from our friends.  Essex's brudder and Sherman's Grand Paw dropped us a line.  We think he looks pawsome with Santy Paws.
