Pawsitive Thoughts, and my Wefwidgewatow

Hi all my sweet fuwwfwiends..

I'm still in England wif my fellow nuwsies..Lacie and Agatha..we take tuwns watching ovew Jackson, but sometimes we all leave at once to give Jackson some pwivacy wif J1 and J2...
I'm out on my nighttime walk...and I was thinking of my good pal Petey's wondewful idea:

"We all know the power of prayers and of positive thinking. So here's my idea. Every night, when we go for our last walk before we go to sleep, let's look up at the big sky over our heads and send a big dose of healing energies to Jackson. Imagine, all day he'll be getting our warm rays of healing love. And for those of us in the same time zones - wow!"



.......so I looked up into the night sky..and spotted the dogstaw, and made my wish...I know all of you did too..and I believe we have the powew to make Jackson well.





Meanwhile , I asked Mommi to finally put up the pictoowes of ouw Wefwidgewatow..I was tagged fow this so long ago, that I don't even wemembew who tagged me, and who is left to tag..but hewe goes....
we have an ancient Fwidge, which will nevew get new, cause we went ouw apt. and we'we stabilized..that means we get nothing new, hehehehehe..but who cawes..it still wowks(it's only 26 yeaws old)
On the fwont of my Fwidge is a whole bunch of stuff..
(you can biggify the pictoowe by clicking on it)
you might notice Scruffy and Lacie's pictoowe, a cawd fwom Wallse..one of my pawents' favowite westauwants neaw us,
a pictoowe of Nick and Nora Charles and Asta from the ThinMan,
a copy of the painting Mommi made of Nowa when she was little, a sign that says I'm cwazy(I think)
me as a baby..
Mommi's magnet saying she fowgot to have childwen, hehehehe..
mypawents in fwont of a mooseum in Austwia, a magnet of an ocean linew,
the phone numbew fow calling a TAXI in Budapest(weal ooseful, heheh)
a cawd fwom my Dogtow
Daddi wif my angel bwuvvew Nikki 26 yeaws ago....
my fostew doggie Chad(Jax paid fow him last yeaw as a Birfday pwesent to me!!!...
and my twin bwuvvew Nicky, and his sissy Jenny , who is my half sistew..
oh yes and a pictoowe of cocktails, wif a note fwom BobT Beaw on it about fwolicking.
on the side..Mommi keeps wecipes...she can see this fwom the sink and countew, and a doggie holding notes
this is my favowite pawt of the fwidge..ackshually , it's the only pawt I can see..it's down on my level...a pictoowe of my StanlyPupboy Sweatheawt, and a twuck full of love he sent me

now fow the inside...
the fweezew has umm ,bevewages, and paprika, and fwosty paws..that's it..in NYC, we buy fwesh!

the fwidge pawt, has essentials..like eggs, and punkin, and pate, and cheese, and buttew, and yoguwt, and olives, and salami, and Milk and Pwosecco, and limoncello, and seltzew, cooling eye mask fow Mommi, and of couwse.....................................................espwesso coffee..without which my Daddi would die

and did I mention WALLYMELON?????????

MYRNA MAKES A DECISION

Hi EVEWYONE!!!
It's Myrna again..this week went weally fast, and I've had to keep my smelling salts vewy close all the time....I even got a vewy special bootiful bottled one fwom Italy, and i twied Doga, and I twied Bwandy to calm my newves, but all to no avail...Evewytime I heaw my beloved's name..I pass out..just thinking of him...klunk...(Myrna ha to be wevived)

See what I mean??
So , I have come to a decision..I have to go stay wif...you know....and get used to being neaw him, and maybe that will solve all my pwoblems

this week, while keeping the salts close by, I've been looking at Bwidal magzazines



I also saw Mommi's Vogue, and thought someone had taken clandestine photos of me and ..you know...I had to look twice...they look so much like us

Evewything I see and wead seems to be about my upcoming wedding



I had to stop looking, cause I kept seeing HIM ..and guess what happened...well Asta has othew things to do besides weviving me, so I asked fow hew help in packing a few essentials fow my twip to Pittsbuwgh

I'm vewy lucky to have such a nice sissy, cause wifout hew, I don't know how I could have gotten done..my mind was on othew things

wish me luck!...... ...love and wheeley smoochiesMyrna


Asta weceived these wondewful awawds, and she is vewy gwateful and happy to have such wondewful fwiendz

My sweet Angel LacyLulu and hew Bwuvvews Rocky and Beaw gave me this bootiful awawd..Thank you so vewy much!!! They nevew fowget a biwfday ow a huwt ow lost doggie..they awe the best wecepients fow this awawd!
The Big Red Bow is now an award of special recognition, for always reminding us to wish each other well and cheer each other on. They are like a bow that ties all of us together.

I'd like to pass it on to Huskee Boy, Joey and Tanner, Gussie,and Lenny, and Lacie,Scruffy and babyStan
my new fwiends the OP pack pwesented me wif this lovely awawd..I weally appweciate it !!!!

I'd like to pass this on to Petey, BenBenjamin, Jake and Just Harry(the Barkalotboyz), and Mango, ( I know most of you have aweady gotten this awawd, but I think you'we so bwilliant, that you should have it again)
smoochie kisses

Updates on FWIENDS




Don't despaiw evewyone..just keep thinking pawsitive thoughts and wooting fow them..you can do so much wif youw doggie enewgy..you have no idea!!!
Us nuwsies awe just letting Jackson west wight now


and Snickews is patiently waiting, and we'we just twying to keep hew still and entewtained

Update!!!! I just weceived this lettew...
Hey Pals, Just wanted to tell you first that I have NO liver problems!!! Mama is soooooo happy right now. She already went to the vet quick to get my medication. I start on 1/4 gram 2 times per day of the Phenobarbital. The vet is hoping I don't need to increase the dose. It will take 2 weeks to get into my system well, so I could have some small seizures in that time period. After that time, then if I have any, they up the dose a bit. My weight is right in between 2 different dosages so the vet opted for the lower dose. So that's why I might need to up it later on. He also said I could act a bit spacey while I adjust to the medicine. (we'll just tell my other pals I was drinking Lacie's smoothies, tee hee!) Thanks so much for everyone's paws & prayers. We know they helped me out!!! Luv & Wirey Hugs! Snickers, Butchy & Mama
while we wait fow those wesults..I wushed ovew to Snowball's house to massage hew back..she has constant pwoblems and pain fwom it fow a long time now


and finally, I went to see my dawling Fwiend Noah, who has awfuw -Itis.. It's quite cold in Austwalia, so I built him a fiwe..we awe doing spa thewapy..while he thinks of tweats and his beloved...I am massaging his back

(his sissy Tess had to have hew cwacked toof pulled, but is feeling pwetty good, thank dog)

Pleez keep youw paws cwossed fow all these fwiends and fow any othews you know who awe feeling poowly like Dakota

Dawn

Last night I just couldn't sneep..I was so wowwied about Jackson and Snickers...it was 5:30 AM
and I was still up.

I went to the living woom to look out the window and pondew life

Evewything was so bootiful and peaceful..the lights wewe still on, but the sky was getting lightew...even NJ looked nice

I know that you must think this is noisy cause thewe awe caws and twucks fow the meatmawket..but it was silent as anything

So why can't things stay peaceful, and ouw fwiendses healthy and happy , and not in pain?
I paced and thought and thought, and I couldn't figoowe it out...
I guess the best I can do is go and help..so I'm on my way to Snickewrs' wight now..
My BFF Lacie is joining me, and hopefully Agatha will also come, cause thewe is a lot to do...we need to keep the pawents spiwit up doowing all this too, as well as comfowting and cawing fow ouw patientses.


Myrna thanks you fow all the good advice...I think hew favowites wewe spending mowe time wif Gilbewt, and pawhaps having a dwop of bwandy to calm hew.

Asta is off again...Myrna's dilemna and anothew gweat awawd

As many of you may know..My Sweet Gilbewt pwoposed to me and I accepted wif a joyfull heawt
I should be delewiously happy and jumping fow joy..cause this is a dweam come twue, and Gilbewt is a wheeley among wheeleys and a dweamboat besides!
( I even have Opal volunteewing to be my flowew giwl since she is the smallest wheeley)

howevew, we have wun into a snag in ouw pwepawations fow my dweam wedding

Evewytime I think about My Fiancee Gilbewt..the blood wushes to my head and I faint dead away fwom Joy...Asta says this could be a majow obstacle to ouw wedding planning....she has wevived me sevewal times wif snout to snout wecussitaion..and she got me a jumbo jaw of smelling saltses
In the midst of my happiness, thewe is also the dawk cloud of some wevolution bwewing among the wheelies.....I hate stwife, and I don't want ouw doggies to not love us...so I'm totally against this..plus it's making me even mowe succeptible to passing out..
so fow now ,I'm keeping the extwa stwength smelling salts by my side at all times.

Pleez let me know if you have any advice, cause this is tewwible
many thanks , wheeley smoochies MYRNA

ASTA :as if we wewen't aweady ovew awed by so many awawds,
My Dawling fwiend GAIA,  sent me this awawd a while ago, and I'm sowwy I'm just now thanking hew.....and today, I weceived the same one fwom Freckles and Deb...I'd like to pass it on to my fwiend Petey 

I know the wules say I'm supposed to pass it on to seven fwiends, but all my fwiends have aweady weceived this..if by chance you havent' pleez take it wif my love and admiwation.

I am sad to wepowt that my nuwsing is wequiwed again..Deaw Miss Snickers had anothew sewies of seizuwes last night, and my sweet Jackson is undewgoing a bunch of howwid tests.
I'm packed and weady to go..fiwst to Iowa, and then when Jackson's wesults come back, to England.

I'll be wunning back and fowf between the two ..I'm wishing vewy hawd that all these tests help to figoowe out what's going on and how to tweat it to make them well again.....
Pleez cwoss youw paws and pway that ouw fwiends wecovew!!!
smoochie kisses
