Games For Us & A Wheelchair for OC… By Pippin

With all the rain we’ve had over the past month, the weeds have grown really tall in the front yard. The other day, Grammy let us go into the the front yard and play.

We had a great time playing tag and bunny hopping through the weeds... 

Grammy also played hide and seek with us by throwing some of our toys out into the weeds and then having us hunt for them. She seemed to have a lot of fun watching us, and laughed a lot while we played.

A while back, GrandPaw Robert made us a tetherball, too! We LOVE it and play with it a LOT!

Gimli likes it the best though…

Lately, Grandma OC has been having a lot more trouble walking. The Pain medication she takes (Dr. Frank’s Joint Pain Relief) has worked very well to keep her from being in pain, but she still has a problem with her left hind leg, which tends to not want to support her for very long anymore.

Grammy decided to do some research on Doggie Wheelchairs, and then, GrandPaw Robert built one for her. She is doing pretty well with it. It also supports her, but allows her to go potty both ways which was a BIG concern. Grammy and GrandPaw are working on a better support cradle for it, that might make it more comfortable for her.

Little Bear is Visiting…

Grammy’s 6 year old grandson, Little Bear, is visiting and we have been SOOOO BUSY!!! He is in bed now, so we are going to just take a few minutes to post a few quick pics to give you an idea of how things are going, and then fill you in more later…

Pippin: I got it!!! See Ya, later!

Gimli: Me! Me! I LOVE Tug-a-war!!! I LOVE these new Christmas Presents!

OC: Come on already... Throw the ball!


Mercy: Get his ear, Auntie Sadie!!!

Pippin: My Buddy!!!


Mercy: Aww, come on... It's only the 50th time we've run through this course today!!!

Grammy’s loving every tired minute of this, and so are we!!!

They Left ME Home...

It’s just not fair!!! I got left home both yesterday AND today !!! Mom told me that she didn’t want me to have to sit in the car while they were doing their shopping, and they THINK they snuck Dott out without me noticing, but I’M NOT STUPID!!!


Mom apologized profusely when she got home and said that it was Dott’s Master that had decided to take her, and she game me some chewies, and lots of lovin’ but I was still a bit miffed. They better have done some of that shopping for ME!

At least Mom went out and played with me some, after she fed the horses this morning, and I got to chase my favorite toy bowling ball all over the yard. My kids keep wanting to play with MY ball, and I have to make sure that they don’t get it, and then I’m all “stove up” afterwards from “overdoing” as Mom calls it. Sure I’m 10 years old now, but I’m still a Corgi and I can do anything I set my heart on… It’s just that I don’t FEEL like getting up by the evening after playing a hard game of ball.

And then, they left me again today! I don’t know what a funeral is, but both Dad AND Mom said I couldn’t go. At least Mom is home a lot more now, since she got her back hurt, than she used to be. I know she misses the special kids she used to work with at that school, though. She talks to me about a lot of things, and they have a really special place in her heart. She still goes to the school sometimes, to read and play with them.

Well it’s really late, so I better get to bed. I just have to wait FOREVER to get a chance at the computer!
