1000th POST

I can hawdly believe it. This is my 1000th post.  When I fiwst came home to live wif my Mommi and Daddi  I had no idea I would have a blog.  Aftew all, I was little, and neithew Mommi now I knew how to even tuwn on a compootew.

My pawents wewe so happy to get me aftew theiw big sadness of losing my angel sissie Nowa, I think they wanted to do something special to celebwate theiw life wif me

a boxew fwiend fwom Califownia named Caiwo bwagged to my pawents that he had a dog blog...a what???????
 well if he can , I figoowed so can I
All we had to do was leawn how

Daddi set up a blog and said to Mommi
"OK, now write something and put up a picture"...sounds easy now..not so much then
, but we did it....and waited....and waited....and waited...


not one answew fow weeks

I fiwst wote about snow
( I was about fouw momfs old at the time, but no one wead it ow saw it)
eventually a few of mommi's fwiends took pity and wead it and answewed, but it took almost a momf befowe some doggie fwiends awwived

Daddi told me not to wowwy..I figoowed no one liked my  silly haiw ow me , but he said that just wasn't so

I made fwiends at my doggie wun wif all sowts of doggies..this is Honey, one of my fiwst.. but,I wanted to make fwiends all ovew the wowld though

I leawned that food cheewed me up and the owange is my favowite colow

and that wif patience, I was able to make lots of fwiends (at least locally)

I got tallew and tallew, and finally stawted making Fwiends on line
Caiwo wote, then Asta la vista fwom Ostwalia, then Bussie,  Jackson(my hewo) and and Oscaw the aiwedale fwom England and  Butchy and the bootiful Miss Snickews (who it tuwned out wewe my welatives even though they live in Iowa),  Gussie ,then Maggie of Maggie and Mitch, Ozzie and Womeo, Koobuss ,Wonin  fwom Womania and even a sweet hammie named Fufu fwom Sing-a-Powe..then magic happened, Opy the Gwuffpuppy  and co foundew of DWB wif Chawlie welcomed me to Dogs with Blogs, and the west is histowy

It was vewy exciting and I was happy

but along wif the joy of meeting all these fwiends came the fiwst big sadness
knowing and loving all these fuwwkids and feeling like they awe pawt of ouw family means that when they become sick ow cwoss the bwidge, ouw heawt bweaks

Fufu was the fiwst to leave in my life on the bloggie, then suddenly Oscaw in a fweek  accident..
I couldn't believe it..It hought we would all be hewe fuwwevew
that day Mommi cwied hew eyes out and hew non-blogging fwiends couldn't undestand why she would cwy ovew a little hammie fwom acwoss the wowld and sob uncontwollably ovew a bootiful young doggie fwom England
It's impawsibull to explain to those who have not expewienced the connection we feel.

all my DWB fwiends wewe saddened by Fufu's passing..we had had so many adventoowes togethew
Mommi and I painted a pawtwait to send to Fufu's family, comissioned by auntie Bwooke on behalf of the DWB family, then one of Oscaw.. since then, we've had too many losses to think about without cwying

Mommi consoled me and twied to explain that someday we would all be togethew again ovew the bwidge..It's a vewy hawd lesson..hawdew somehow fow hoomans.
I've discovewed we fuwwkids awe gweat at savowing the moments and living  all of them to  the utmost.  I've leawned many lessons fwom my fwiends.

We almost stopped blogging  a few yeaws ago, when Mommi lost all my pictoowes on my blog fwom the febwuawy 15th 07.until June 20th 09

It was devestating..we had wowked so hawd..mommi leawned photoshop and I had the best viwtooal adventoowes wif my fwiends..I now only have the memowies and a few pics that wewe saved elsewhewe, but the love and fwiendships awe fuwwevew.

I've lost faw too many fwiends since then, and wowwy about all the ones who awe not well, but I've met many many new ones too and now we have blogville and no mowe Dogs wif Blogs....

Last yeaw we had a wee-union wight hewe in my house and hoomans came fwom places faw and neaw wif "flat vewsions" of my fwiends..it was magical
I've seen unbelievable genewosity among blog fwiends and  and always a helping paw extended.  Sadly, many fwiends don't have the time to blog anymowe and we twy to find them on FB, but it sowt of teaws us apawt. It's not the same, and To twy to visit evewyone on the blogs and on FB too,  is impawsibull.


I'm gwateful to Mommi fow not giving up, and mostly to all my fwiends who have gotten me thwoo good times and bad and awe a constant souwce of joy in ouw lives
smoochie kisses



and Mommi
