Farewell my friend

Pups and kitties, we have some very sad news to report. Everyone's great friend Charlie the Big Dog has gone to the Rainbow Bridge.

Yesterday he suffered a stroke and then heart failure. He was able at the end to tell his mum and dad that it was time for him to go.

Please go and visit his blog to give some support to Greg, Brooke and Opy. Greg is the man behind Dogs with Blogs and Cats with Blogs. He and his family could use our support right now.

Run free sweet Charlie.

Slacking on Sunday

Last night, Charlie and Opy's mum and dad came for dinner. They are very good dinner guests; they remembered to bring me a present! I got a new mouse and some Temptations. Very tasty - thanks Charlie and Opy's mum and dad!

Anyway it was a late night last night, so we have been sleeping in today. I managed to escape out the garage door and lie on the front porch for a change. Mum caught me, took this photo, then shooed me back inside.

Tortured!

You will not believe what mum and dad are doing to me today. First, they're making me go to the v-e-t. That's not what I want to do with my weekend.

Then, they're going to visit Charlie and Opy's mum and dad! But they're not taking me with them! I don't think that's very fair at all.

I'll be sulking on the bed this afternoon. Tomorrow, if I feel up to it, I might tell you about my vet visit.
