Fwiends helping Fwiends

Wemembew my good fwiend Taylow?? She's Ruis, my fellow CCSI membew and fwiend's woofie sistew.
A while ago I asked all of you to go and send hew get well wishes when she was weally sick.

Well She wecovewed, but is not so stwong in hew leggies, and was having a lot of pain when walking. This made hew sad cause she still wants to wun and play and wag hew tail and join in the fun.

She just celebwated hew 14th Biwfday, and
hew two Mommies decided to get hew a wheelie chaiw to help hew walk.

Photo by Ruis
well, she was a little pawplexed, had no idea what to do, so she wemembewed that hew fwiend Myrna is an expawt in wheeling. Luckily, Myrna and Gilbewt wewe still in OOwope, and wushed wight ovew.
Taylow was a little embawwased in fwont of Gilbewt, and so he gave them theiw pwivacy. don't wowwy, he didn't go faw..he would nevew leave Mywna.
I heawd about this, and asked if I could use theiw telepowting machine and join them. I just love the Nethewlands, especially in the spwingtime, and I figoowed it would occoopy me and take away my newvousness ovew Stanley's visit next week.

I immediately put on my cheewleading outfit, and Myrna got hew stop watch and whistle to help coach Taylow..well, at least we made hew laugh, but we wewe having teck-nickel difficulties

suddenly we came to a sudden stop.. I spotted something I had nevew seen, only heawd of...wabbit dwoppings!!!!!!
Taylor and Buzzew laughed and said, hahahahcity dogs, hahahaha...
let's just say, thewe awe advantages to being in the countwy

aftew all that exewtion, we decided to take a wefweshing swim...Ruis, found some flippews fow Mywna so she could twy swimming wif us..she was a little scaiwed about it

The bootiful day stawted wif Myrna giving Taylow tips on how to get awound wif wheels, and ended wif Taylow teaching Mywna the joys of swimming.

Fwiends awe the most wondewful gift in the wowld!

Thank you Ruis and evewone at Kattenpwaat fow youw gwacious hospitality, and fow taking all these faboolous pictoowes of ouw time thewe.

I plan to come back often, if I can. (did I mention the gweat food and dwinkies we had??well you can imagine!)

We think this is absolutely wonderful. It is marvellous to see Taylor has these wheels to help her.

Sophie Brador said...

Those wheels are cool, although they would probably freak me out and I'd keep trying to run away from them. But that might actually work, come to think of it. Mom wishes they made those wheelie carts in a front end version for dogs like me.

We've seen a dog with wheels like that around the Mission -- it really helps her get around.

You and Myrna are such sweet friends! I'm sure Taylor will adjust and be wheelin' around in no time!!

TwoSpecialWires said...

Oh my dog! You went to the Netherlands!!!!? Keukenhof is one our Mom's favorite places and she LOVES LOVES LOVES the Dutch masters (as in artists... not dog masters... but she might like some of them, too!)

That's great how Myrna (and you, Asta) were able to help Taylor with her new wheels. It made us smile. Mom wishes she could have gone with you ... that's what she used to do with children, when they had trouble walking around! She didn't wear a cheerleader outfit though (good thing!) It doesn't look like you needed any help, though.

We're happy you got to experience wabbit dwoppings, Asta! We know where there are lots more, and you're welcome to come enjoy them!

And swimming, Myrna! Your tail did a great job counterbalancing your head! (I guess I'd better work on gettint my tail up if I'm going to try swimming this summer!)

What a great way to spend a day! You are right. Friends ARE the most wonderful gift. (We are glad you are ours! And, yes, I am feeling much better!)

Now ... don't get yourself too worked up in anticipation of Stanley's visit. You know (I know, too) that anxiety can create the most undesirable symptoms with a sensitive system.

It will be wonderful.

Love,
Supergirl Fergi (and Jake. He's somewhere)

Asta and Myrna, thank you again for helping my sister Taylor! You are such great friends! We all had a wonderful day together and hope to do it again soon!

We made people smile, which is always good, but most important is that Taylor is walking so much better with her wheels and a happy girl again!!

Dear Asta,

You are the a true guardian angel of furry kids. That is so nice what you did for Taylor. Thank you so much for posting a link for Millie. Dad says you have too many http things so the link won't work. If you click on it you'll see what he means. That stuff is all human to me. He said it should be

Thank you again for your kindness. I know that your bloggie gets way more traffic than mine.

Millie was afraid of the thunder we got lastnight so I slept in the next room where she could see me so she wouldn't be all alone. Bark at you soon.

I was so happy to hear that Taylor was going to get a wheelie to help get around. It was so nice to you to pitch in and help with things. This was such an important day and I know how much your valuable information was to Taylor and the family. How great it is to have wonderful friends.

Oh, I like your blog, makes me feel like being at home, stop over and you will see what I said that, ha, ha.
