March Pals

Well cyber paw pals, Dad is finally posting.  March has been slow at Angel Paws for the most part.  We did have a couple pals come visit Angel Paws from up north.  First there is Buster, who lives near Niagara Falls.  Gemini remembered him when he visited several years back.  The two of them played a lot together.  We sure hope he makes it back next year.

Next there was Wrigley.  Wrigley lives close to Chicago and he is a big Cubs fan.  He played with both Gemini and Buster. Buster left about a week ago and Wrigley several days later.  The park is really hit and miss now.

The weather is still nice, but hot summer days will be here sooner than we care for.

Daisy and Buggy

We have been meaning to post, but Angel Paws have kept us busy.  We spend a lot of time there.  Dad is trying to keep up with our home and yard.  We think the home and yard are winning.

Our pals Daisy and Buggy returned for a month.  It was good seeing them.  Gemini played a bit with Daisy.  Running around the dog park.

It was nice playing with them this month.  Dad was sad to see them go, as he talked with their Mom and Dad.

Wolf Moon and Sasha

Dad found out early Sunday that there was going to be a full moon and a lunar eclipse.  So he stayed up late to watch it.  We had plenty of clouds, but every once in awhile there was a gap in the clouds.  So Dad saw the eclipse.  He tried to take pawtographs of the eclipse, but they just didn't turn out.  We did get a pawtograph hours before the eclipse of the full moon through the clouds.  A full moon in January is called a "Wolf Moon."  We were howling mad and told Dad it should be either a Husky Moon or a Collie Moon.

We found out the next day that Sasha the Rat Terrorist crossed the Rainbow Bridge earlier on the 20th.  Sasha was good friends with Essex and Deacon.  She had left Key West in March 2011, so neither Sherman or Gemini had met her.  Thinking of Sasha brought back plenty of pawsome memories for Dad.  He told of plenty of them on Monday, while he was off for Martin Luther King Day.  We had to smile about her playing with Deacon and Dad talking about those Days from many Dog Moons ago.  We are sure she is playing with Essex and Deacon.

Taking Care of Dad

Dad was feeling under the weather this weekend.  So we made sure he got some walks and dog park time in.  Dad had plenty of orange juice, chicken noodle soup, NyQuil and a lot of time in the bed.  It seems to be working some.

He still feels out of it. We both of stayed by the foot of the bed watching over Dad.

Last Post of 2018

Things have been busy.  Our visitors Miles and Copper went back to their homes yesterday.  They were excited and happy to be home.  You can't blame a pup to be happy when they are reunited with their hoomans.  

First Brave Star, AKA Buddy, e-barked us.  He has become the breaker upper of cat fights.  His cat siblings have been getting into squabbles.  If Buddy hears them he gets in between them and breaks it up.  When it comes to cats, we love chasing them.

We heard from Brave Star's sister Alyx.  She is doing fine up in Jacksonville, Florida.  She was checking up on us, which made us smile.  Alyx came back to Holmhaven at ten months old and found her furever family.  Her story reminded Dad of Deacon, so it brings a warm smile to his heart.  Alyx loves her family and that smile is proof.

We sure love hearing from relatives.

Essex-mas 2018

Merry Essex-mas to cyberpaw land.  Things have been busy around here.  Dad is trying to clean around the house, Miles and Copper are staying with us, Dad did his backing and visiting. 

On Friday 14 December Dad had a blast from the past visit Key West.  Hooter's Mom came to visit Angel Paws with a black lab mix named Rosco P.  Dad and her talked for quite awhile.  Hooter passed away about a year ago and her husband about six months back.  Rosco P. is taking care of her, and there is talk of moving to Alaska.  The visit brought back many memories of Essex and Deacon.  Dad was smiling for several days afterwards.  He thought of young Hooter and Essex playing.  The pups along the fence line and the dirt path that Essex made from fence patrol.

Chloe the Brittany Spaniel visited fur a couple weeks.  Dad found out that Bodie, the Brittany Spaniel crossed the bridge about a year ago.  It was good seeing their hooman, who didn't visit one year because of the screw worms and the next year because of herricane Irma.

We will post more in the next couple of days.  Posting is slow because Dad messed up the camera.

Merry Essexmas,

Sherman & Gemini
