What a Horrible Day

Mom got home from work and was very excited because she is a teacher and today began her Christmas break... 2 weeks of sleeping in and cuddling us! We can't wait.

But, then Mom checked the blogs. We all sat on the couch and settled down to hear your stories.

And then Mom gasped aloud- so loud that we shot up off the couch and asked her what was wrong.

And she told us, with tears streaming down her face, that the Pitti Pack experienced a tragedy last night. We are heart-broken for them.

Pip is going to do something awesome tomorrow. Please go to his blog and leave a comment. He will donate .50 for each comment left.

We are now digging in the couch cushions to find some moolah to donate.

What a sad sad sad day.

A true tragedy.

Run free, our dear furiends. Run free.

Thanks!

Thank you for all of your comments about the heart worm, etc. Mom and Dad have talked about it and they are going to talk to our vet and see what she suggests. However, we will NOT be taking Trifexis next month. Many of you said you do not take flea meds in the winter or at all. Because we do not have the best immune systems and because Milly is allergic to flea saliva we have to take any and all preventatives that we can. We do understand why some don't, though, and we really like that people do what they feel is best for their pet... just like Mom and Dad do for us.

Mom has been super busy so we didn't get to post again until today. We're sorry!!

We did get a new two-legged. That makes it TEN cousins that we have. TEN two-leggeds. We also have 2 (yes, only 2) four-legged cousins. Goodness. TEN. What is the world coming to?

Say hello to baby Imogen. This is Mom's first niece on her side of the family. We won't get to meet her until this summer though because she lives far away in Indiana!

The Mom Person is Freaking Out!

Last night Mom stayed up past her bedtime and read this blog. She was very sad and upset and concerned and scared. She said that she feels so bad for Iris and her persons. We do too!! She is also very concerned because we take Trifexis!! YIKES! Does anyone else take this? Mom said she is calling the vet  to ask if it is safe because I (Shelby) get bad poopies after I take it and maybe it is not good for me. You know, I have lots of bad reactions to medicines. (I cannot take rabies shots because I am deathly allergic!) What kind of flea/heartworm do you take??? We cannot have a topical flea med because it bothers Mil's skin because she is allergic to flea saliva (among other things) and has very sensitive skin.
Mom would like any and all suggestions and she said please go read that blog!!

My Early Christmas Present!!

MilMil Tree
My MilMil Tree
My MilMil is a tree.

hahahaha Just Kidding!

Now, on to my story.
This morning started off like any other. My dad was out of bed super early. Mil was out of bed and down the hall with dad. I was snugglin' my Mama. Her stupid alarm clock went off and she hit the snooze for 5 more minutes. Then,  she rubbed my belly and told me how great I am. :) I love mornings with Mom.

So, Dad came down the hall and said good morning and then Mil and I went outside. Mom went to turn on the water to take a shower. Just as she was stepping in to the shower she heard Dad (who never raises his voice) yelling at the top of his lungs, "MAGGIE (Mom's name) GET OUT HERE! I NEED YOUR HELP!!!" Now, if you recall, the last time Dad yelled was the day I killed a squirrel. So, Mom knew he meant business and grabbed her hot pink towel wrap and went running down the hall.
She found us all on the back screened in porch. We were running and barking like CRAZY! She then realized there were THREE of us. WHAT?! Three? Yes. Three. Me, Mil, and THE CAT. Cat? No. We don't have a cat.
HOLY COW!!! Santa brought me a CAT!!!!!
I was so excited, but the cat did not want to play with me. The cat kept running and banging into the screen and was NOT being friendly. I just wanted to play with it!!
Anyhow, the cat finally found its way off of the porch and I was hot on its trail! Mom was hot on my trail. She was yelling like a crazy person, "SHELBY, STOP!!!!" I'm all like, "not now, Mom. I'm busy."
The cat made it over to the fence and was out of site. DARN!
My early present from Santa ran away. :( Man, oh man.
Mom and Dad were NOT happy with me. They just don't get it. I don't know why they're mad. Their early Christmas present didn't RUN AWAY!!

Christmas Cards

We got one Christmas card yesterday and one today! We love this!

We're hanging them in the kitchen on the end of the cabinet this year. :) We are so excited! Hopefully we will mail the rest of ours very soon!
