Recently I was diagnosed with pancreatitis and Mom was more than upset and I didn’t feel very good but with the help of modern medicine and Veternarians who keep up with the times, we are controlling that too.  I get to eat moist and dry food from Purina EN .  Mom sprinkles it with Veternarian approved enzymes and I am back to normal.   I am still running my laps, but Mom is limiting them…..bummer!!

So this Thanksgiving I am thankful for all my wonderful years on this earth and I am thankful to be loved by so many people.  I am thankful for being so cute and adorable…did I say that???  ruff, ruff, ruff.

Mom wants to thank everyone for trusting her to write pet sympathy letters to loved ones, during a pet loss.  We hope everyone has a great day with family and friends.  Will chat soon, The Babe

The Angel asked him if there was anything else he needed.  Baker kinda shuffled his paws a bit and said he used to have 3 balls in his mouth, all at once and he only has 2 balls left in his room.  Three Balls??????? , the Angel replyed.   Baker said “Yes, it is quite an attention getter”.  They both cracked up laughing with each other.  The Angel made a committment to Baker that she will see to it that a minium of 12 balls will always be at his beckon call.

Baker said “Wow….dirty socks and free balls”!!!  It’s been a great day!!!!  As he trotted off, he smelled a dirty sock as it was behind a tree.  He picked it up and it smelled so good!!!  Baker turned around to look for the Angel to say thanks…..the Angel saw him and smiled.  All is well.

While he was swimming around, he saw a huge fish and they struck up a conversation.  The huge fish told Willie that he was the first “One Man Submarine”…this was the fish that held Jonah in his  belly for 3 days.  Willie was amazed as he knew the story about Jonah.

Willie asked him to tell him about the experience.  “Well, it was in the middle of the night and I thought this guy was going to be an appetiser for me.  Somehow he  escaped my teeth and landed in my belly”.  Willie’s eyes got big!!!  The huge fish continued.  “There I was with some guy in my belly fighting to get out.  We didn’t have Pepto-Bism0l in those days and he gave me indigestion.  I sensed that he was in a bad mood.  Anyway, after 3 days, I was so sick of this guy with his bad attitude and swishing around my belly.  Then suddenly he got into a really good mood….I know God had something to do with that”.

Then he told Willie that he burped and Jonah came tumbling out and he landed on the  shore,  sopping wet with sea weed and other disgusting things all over him.  We looked at each other and we went our own ways.  I am pretty sure he  did what God asked him to do after that.  Willie and the huge fished smiled.  Then he said, “And that is how I became the very first One Man Submarine”.

Not too long ago, a family came in and saw little Tommy…their eyes met and that  was it!!! Tommy found a new home and everyone was so happy.  When Tommy got to be around 6 months old, Tommy got up at his regular time and he didn’t get any breakfast.  He thought…what is this….no food?  Shortly after that his Daddy got his leash and they both got in the car.  They arrived at the Veternarian’s office and Tommy’s Daddy kissed him and told him he would be back later.

They gave me something to make me go to sleep and when I woke up, I felt  like someone had snipped something.  I did not even want to look.  Is this kinda like a Father/Son thing….hey, we didn’t even discuss it.  Pretty soon my Daddy came back and acted like nothing had happened.  He wanted me to get back in the car.  After the ride in the car this morning, I didn’t want to take another ride in the car again.  Dad assured me we were going home and Mom had a special meal waiting for me.  I reluctantly got into the car but I wasn’t jumping around too much.  Dad held me and comforted me all the way home.

Soon we arrived at home and just as Dad promised, Mom had a special meal just or me…it was yummy!  Daddy told me this little trip to the doctor was for my own good and I would never have to do that again.  Then  under his breath, he said…”Trust me Tommy, I know how you feel”!!!  He just smiled at me and we understood each other.

I woke up the next day and everything was back to normal….breakfast, a walk outside, played ball and took a nap.  As I was settling in for my nap I said, “Thank you Lord for my new home and Thank You for such a wonderful Mom and Dad”. 

Never give up!!!

St. Francis asked him what he was looking for.  He told him that he really appreiated the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches he requested, however, he told him that his Mom back on planet earth opened a jar of peanut butter every night and he went into the kitchen to get some.

He asked, ………..”Well….uh….er….Could I have my own jar of peanut butter in my room for a late night snack”?   St. Francis said, “You sure can and I will have one of the Angels come in and open it for you…..how would that be”?  “Oh wow!!!  that would be perfect”, he replied.  St. Francis told him the service would start for him tonight around 10:00.  The thankful Golden picked up his 16 squeaker toy and squeaked away as happy as he couldl be.

This little guy has been in Pet Heaven for about a year and he is such a nice young man and he is such a gentleman.  He is very popular with the angels.  He saw Fonzie at the gates as he was greeting the newcomers and Fonzie saw him and  asked him how he was doing.  The Golden said he was doing great and he wanted to know where he could find a toy with 16 squeakers in it.  Fonzie said, “Absolutely”!  Immediately,  he called for O E Pete to get the toy.  Pete was immediately on the scene with the toy.  The Golden was thrilled.  He gently grabbed it and took off to the park….squeaking all the way.

Fonzie told O E Pete, “It’s such a pleasure to be able to have the toys available for everyone”.  Pete agreed.  Fonzie glanced at the Pearly Gates and noticed a beautiful poodle was coming in.  With that, Fonzie resumed his position as the greeter, to make sure all needs are being met.  He is doing such a wonderful job.

I asked her what she wanted for her  birthday and she told me she had already received it when she got the news that  there was help for my pancreatitis.  I am doing really well.  There are rules we have to follow but we are both willing to commit.

Does anyone remember  the song….that goes something like this.  “We’re just going along, singing a song, side by side”.  That’s our song.  Did I mention that I am 14????  That is 98 years old in human years.

I  have a few years on my mom but we keep each other going.  We are in this together.  The other day, I heard my Mom say she loves what she does when she writes sympathy letters for pets, because these are the people who love and are committed to their pets for life!!  What a blessing it is!!!

Mom and I saw the neatest article today in the Pet Heaven Herald News. 

Ellie Mae who is a really cute Bloodhound doggie was out walking with Liz, Blue, Jessie, Bruce, Little Man, Lady and her Dad.  Her Dad had never met Fonzie the greeter before and she wanted them to meet and say ”Hello”.  Fonzie extended his paw and shook his hand.  They talked about the beautiful  sunny day and they were off to finish their walk.

Suddenly, Ellie Mae started barking really loud.  Her Dad said, “Ellie Mae, what are you barking at”?  Ellie Mae said, “Dad, did you see that UPS guy knocking on Mom’s door”?  He said, “No, but apparently you did…..I know how you always like to protect your Mommy….good girl”!! 

Dad said, “I hope she bought something nice for herself”…..Ellie Mae smiled and said, “Me too”!     ….and off they went into the Sunshine.

Maggie, Minnie and Scout cracked up laughing…..and told her “No….it’s a party for all the Weiner dogs in Pet Heaven”.  Peanut sighed with relief and off they went, paw in paw to the Dogie Diner.  Maggie whispered to Peanut….”It’s all vegitarian here”.  Peanut smiled!!

Babe told her Mom how she loved the stories they are hearing from the Pet Heaven Herald News.  Stay tuned for more!!

About this time, O E Pete came on the scene and told Fonzie he had everything under control.  He looked at Peanut and said….”Do you want some socks like your Daddy has with his scent on them”?  Peanut jumped for joy!!!!!!!  “Yes, I do….that is why they called me “Stinky Dog” ’cause I love his socks”.  OE Pete said, “Consider it done and….I have some balls for you too”. 

They took off together to go shopping for some more neat things.  Fonzie stood there for a moment and shook his head…”Women, I will never understand them”.  ruff, ruff, ruff.
