HAPPY EASTER!!!!!

Hi,
I just want to wish all my furry and human family and friends a very Happy Easter!!  I also want to thank you for all the support and prayers that you have been sending me while I try to regain the use of me legs.  Your messages of support and the power of the paw makes me keep going.  Me and me mom and Chris hope someday that I will walk again, but the most important thing that me mom says is that I am still alive.  Life is great especially when you have a family and friends that love you and support you no matter what.

Thank you again and I hope you all have a beautiful Easter Day.  God Bless You all!!

                
                                                                  Love,  Blu

A Tribute To Blackie

A Post From Blu's Mom
As some of you might already know on January 31, 2012 we lost a very special member of our pet family.  Her name was Blackie. Otherwise know to us as Queen Blackie, or Wacky Blackie, or our One Grand Cat.  But really she was a Queen and she held that title with grace until the day she went to the Rainbow Bridge.

                                                                    Queen Blackie


 Blackie was 14 1/2 years old when she suddenly feel ill and died.  I guess in a way it was God's way of not allowing a very special cat suffer for too long.  Because you see after she became ill we found out that she had cancerous tumors in her abdomen and stomach.   We never knew that she had them because she never let on that she was that sick.  We thought we would have to make the decision for when to say goodbye to Blackie, but again God in his own way did it for us.   The vets allowed us to take Blackie home, and she died peacefully in Chris' arms about an hour after she came home.  It was a fitting ending because Blackie was Chris' cat, and  they always had a special bond.  We all miss her a lot, but we have 14 years of very special memories of her that we will keep in our hearts forever.  Today as a tribute to our special Blackie I would like to share some of this memories and pictures with you all.

Blackie was born in July of 1997 to my niece's cat named Lucky.   What is amazing is that we had found a little kitten in June and named him Lucky.  Some of you might know our beloved cat Lucky from Facebook.
When we first saw Blackie, Chris fell in love with her and she came into our lives in October of 1997.

                                       Yes folks she really was watching a movie!  It was Muppet Treasure Island


Her and Lucky became best buddies and you would always find them together someplace in the house.  Here are some pictures of the Blackie and Lucky together.

 Oh just in case you are wondering the bird wasn't eaten just in another cage.

Blackie and Lucky always shared a window

At one point in time we had 3 cats and here is a picture of three very special Dudley cats who are now at the Rainbow bridge together.

                                        
                                                 Lucky, Blackie and my precious cat Tuffy.

One of the reasons why we called her Wacky Blackie was because of the silly things she did. Here are some pictures of our silly Blackie.

                                                               Playing with her toy. 

                                                           Using a fan stand as a pillow?

                                                  Blackie loved to go into a bag.

         Blackie went into Chris' backpack, so he was going to try to take her to school that day.  Sorry Blackie, but mom had to say no because of some silly rule of no pets at school.

                                                       She loved to help me wrap gifts.

                                                        Or lay down on top of them

Blackie was my son Chris first pet, and they held a very special bond.  Chris was 7 years old when we got her and it was a joy watching them both grow up together.  Here are some pictures of  the 2 of them.

                                         
                                                         Chris loved to read to Blackie

                                                                  Chris and his Blackie                                                      

There is no real easy way to end this tribute except to say, thank you Blackie for 14 special years together.  It was an honor to have you as a member of our family.    We miss you so much and we will never forget you.   Love you always.  Mom

                                                            

New Coat To Go With Me Wheels

Happy Sunday Everyone and Happy March.  The first day of Spring is only 16 days away!!!  The days are getting longer and I am getting better!!  Still no feelin in me back legs, but I am doing great in my cart.  I just love racing around the house with me brother and sisters.  Mom has even setup a cushion by her desk so that I can be near her when she is working or playing on the computer.
I am so glad that me mom got me a cart and that Eddie's Wheels did such a great job making it!!!  Here is the official picture from Eddie's Wheels on the day I got my cart:

 

                              It was the happiest day for me and me human family since I got hurt!!! 


The other great event that happened in February was that we pups all got coats to wear outside.  Now all I need are boots and a license and I am ready to wheel around town!!!!  Just kiddin about the license, but the boots I need to protect me feet.  I just want a license with me name on it. Me mom says she is going to get that for me soon!!!   I want to thank me special friends Addie, Lucie and Hailey for getting me my coat!!!  I love it and it looks great on me!  It was so kind of you to buy me this so that I could go outside and get more exercise and help me get better!  Thank you also to Sam for letting me know where to get me license and me boots.  Sam has been giving me and me mom lots of advice and we appreciate it a lot.  We appreciate all the support you all have been giving me.  The power of the paw will get me better, I just know it!!!

Here are some pictures of us with our new coats!!!

           

                                                I just love the color of me new coat!!!!

Next week I am going to let me mom do me Blog because of a very sad event that happen to our family the end of January.  On January 31st, our Queen of the Dudley pets, Blackie went to the Rainbow Bridge.  It was very very sudden that she became ill and died.  She was 14 1/2 years old and we all miss her a lot. We are still trying to get over her passing away.
 Me mom wants to do a special tribute to her next week and I said it was okay.   But to honor her today here is a picture of Blackie.  God Bless you Blackie and I hope your are running and playing with Lucky at the Rainbow Bridge.  Love always, Blu

Blu on Wheels For Real

Happy Sunday Everybody!!!!  I have good news to report, I finally got my wheels!
Whooo Hoooo does it feel good again to be able to get around.  Of course, I still have to get used to not bumping into things.  Or mom has to rearrange the house so I have no objects in my way.  LOL  I don't think that will happen. The humans are still getting used to putting me in the cart, and my step brother and sisters are also trying to get used to it.  HEHE if I want to I can go faster than the other dogs. In time we all will get used to my cart.  I just love it.   Now to get a license plate for it.  I also need to get a coat so that I can go outside with it..  Oh, it is so nice to roll around again. 
The humans, Mom and Chris, and I went up yesterday to Eddie's Wheels to go get my cart.  I was soooo excited that I couldn't relax in the carrier.  When we got there Leslie brought out my cart and showed Chris how to put me in it.  Not sure where my mom was, but she got back in time to take pictures and watch me take my first steps with wheels..   Whoo Hoo it was so nice to walk again.  I haven't walked since January 9th and I didn't want to stop.  Leslie said we could go outside and I would have more room to run.  So, we did.  I was lucky that the weather was just warm enough to me to be outside without a coat.   They had a nice deck and a great ramp that I went down on.  It was great, I was almost running.  I walked around outside for a bit than we had to go back in so mom could pay and I could get some water and treats.  I didn't stop moving until they took the cart off for when we had to go home.   We thanked Leslie so much for the great cart and left for home.   I slept all the way home.  I was really tired out.   Mom put me in the cart a couple of time again for lunch and supper and I even took a nap in it.   I now feel like a dog again. 

Here are some pictures of me and my new wheels.  I hope you like them.

          The big tease, putting my new wheels on top of my carrier!!!

Leslie clipping me into my wheels.  You can't see it but I had a big smile on me face.

                      Outside on the deck...  Ok mom let me gooooo!!!!!!

       Mom was saying kiddingly, on your mark, get set, gooooooo!!!!!

After going down the ramp, mom just had to have me stop to take a picture of me in front of the sign for Eddie's Wheels for Pets.

Back inside and still rolling along.  I had a great time chasing Chris or mom. LOL

                      On the roll again, I just loved being on the roll again!!!!

                                                  You can't catch me!!! 

             Thank you mom for getting me some wheels.  I am so happy!!!

                        Thank you Eddie's Wheels for making them for me. 

Home again, and taking a break after eating lunch.  It's nice that I can lie down in me cart and rest or nap.  

Umm, this is suppose to be a video of me coming up the ramp.  I hope it works and you can see it.  I am still getting used to blogging.  Mom says we need a video camera so our voices can also be heard.  She just wants a new toy.  :-)

Well my friends that is it for today.  I have to go now but I promise to have more pictures next weekend.  Mom will be putting me in me wheels soon for lunch and also get some exercise.  We are all hoping that the wheels help me out with my recovery.  And hopefully, someday I might have more use of my legs.  But, one day at a time.  Just having the fun of walking around again is a healing feeling for me. 
Have a great week my friends.

My Trip to Eddie's Wheels For Pets

Happy Monday everybody!!!
Sorry that I didn't post anything yesterday, but I was too tired and sore from my trip to Eddie's Wheels to order my cart.  I was so excited about being there that I wore myself out and yesterday I just slept the day away. Of course I sleep most days aways anyways, but yesterday I was also sore.  I better today.
I had a really nice visit to Eddie's Wheels For Pets on Saturday.  It was a long ride, but I slept most of the way.   They even had snow there which was nice to see.  I even got to meet a border collie and a great big collie that were getting their wheels.  I got to watch them getting used to their new carts.  I was so excited and couldn't wait until it was my turn.  Leslie the owner was really nice to me and my mom and Chris.  I stood really still while she took measurements of me.  That made my mom really happy.  Chris took some pictures. Unfortunately, she didn't have a cart for me in stock, so I have to wait 2 weeks to have my very one made.  I wanted it motorized, but my mom said no.  HEHE  I tried.

Here are some pictures of me getting measured for my cart.

That is my mom on the right holding my head while they took my measurements.  I had to be really still so they could make my cart.

Sorry for the skin shot, but that is where I was shaved to have my surgery.  I guess it takes a while for the fur to grow back.  Mom is gonna get me a doggie coat for when we go for walks outside, and boots.

After I got measured, my mom talk to Leslie for a bit about the disc disease I got and how the cart will even help with trying to walk again.  She had a doxie named Daisy that was paralyzed also from the disc disease, and the cart helped her out a lot. She also recommended a supplement for all us doxies to take and to also try acupuncture.  So, we ordered the cart and we have to come back in 2 weeks to get it.  Whoo Hoo, I can't wait!!!!  Just in case you want to visit their website, here it is:  http://eddieswheels.com/

Here are some other pictures from Eddie's Wheels.  I am sure we will have more when we go get my cart.  Maybe even a video!!!!

    

 This is the big room where they make the carts.

 

So many carts and none that fit me..  Oh well, I get mine custom made just for me.     By the way on top  of the cart in front is a pair of skiis for a cart to use in the snow.  Mom said no to that also, besides the cart being motorized.  :-)

                               I tired, let's go home. Where's my crate, I need a nap.

Well, my friends that is it for today! I hope you enjoyed my story of my trip to get me a cart on wheels.  I also want to thank you for joining my blog and also for all the nice comments you sent me.   They meant a lot to me.  With all your support I know I will get better! 


Have a great week everybody!!!!
