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)

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

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

Updates on FWIENDS

Well..we wewe hoping that we would have wondewful wesults and news about Jackson and Snickers today...we'we still waiting fow Snickers' wesults, and Jackson 's awe inconcloosive, and he has to go back fow mowe towtoowe at the dogtow's

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

twying to keep patients entewtained

Aftew leaving Lacie and Agatha at Snickers' house...I wan ovew to Jackson's
we awe anxiously awaiting the wesults of his tests..
he was getting westless and needed cheewing up, so I did my silly nuwsie dance fow himm
I think he was stunned.....but aftew a while I got him to giggle and get his mind off his ouchies.
( i couldn't wait to get those silly platfowms off.. and change, but anything fow a fwiend!!!)

Awwival in Iowa & Calling my bootiful , single Giwlfwiends

sent fwom my eye-fone fwom IOWA

I've awwived at Snickers' house and she is comfowtable..

we awe awaiting the wesults of hew tests fwom the dogtow..meantime , we awe making suwe she is comfowtable and entewtained

now anothew topic.....

it has come to my attention that my good fwiend and pwotege, Petey,has placed a pawsonal add in the hopes that bootiful , pupgiwls will wespond, and see what a gweat guy he is......

and guess what..he's hawdly gotten any giwls wesponding..I can't believe this..he is fantastic, and any pupgiwl would be lucky to have him as a boyfwiend..so what's going on Giwls??

I hope all of you awe well..I have to go plug in my fone now..my battewy is going

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,
