A prayer for Uncle Bernie

My Uncle Bernie is not well!

He's been sick for along time: a couple handful of bladder stones, a weak heart, and a growth on his spleen.

Well, Bernie's particularly not feeling well today. He's moving slow and doesn't want to play.

Please say a special Puppy Prayer for my Uncle Bernie that he will feel better and not be in any pain. Mommy is very sad because she is still in DC and she wishes she could be here with him. I try to tell her on that phone thing that it's ok, because I'm here with him and I'm keeping him company with grandma. Mommy tells me it might be time for him to go to the big kennel in the sky, and I don't really know what it means, but it sounds nice. I just want him to be able to play again without hurting. I love him very much and he's my favorite puppy playmate.

I will keep you all posted on how he does. (Shh...don't tell Mommy that I borrowed her laptop!!)

Nubbily Wiggles,
Ellie

Tag! You're it!

Well, my friends Raisa, Cairo and Sam tagged me... three times in two days! Well Bernie and I decide to swap my accumulated "weird habits". I'll give you ten. He'll give you five.

Here are the rules: The player of this game starts by listing "5 weird things/habits" about yourself, then you "tag" five friends and list their names. Those who get "tagged" need to write on their blogs about their "5 weird things/habits", as well as state this rule clearly, then "tag" five more victims. Don't forget get to leave your victim a comment that says "you're tagged!" in their comments and tell them to read your blog.

But before I confess my "weird things", I tag the following doggie friends: Charlie, Bogart, Cubby Charlie & Coco, and Bosco:The Chocolate Dog! Check out all their sites to see their confessions!

10. I have to take daily Beano so that I don't stink Mommy out of her house. It's a boxer thing.

9. I get the hiccups at least six-times a day

8. I know where Bernie's spot on the couch is, and I know how to steal it.

7. I dig at the pantry door for the chicken jerky treats.

6. I like to talk to Mommy on the phone.

5. I moan when Mommy cleans my ears. Or does anything else, I don't like. Mommy says it sounds like I'm being torchered.

4. I'm still learning how to jump up, so instead of jumping. I put my front paws on the couch or bed and swing my but back and forth until one of my back legs gets high enough to pull me up. Mommy calls it my boogie woogie dance.

3. Something really embarrassing...I grunt when I doo doo. Mommy laughs!

2. I step on Mommy's foot when I want her attention. When that doesn't work, I sit on it.

1. I try to chew on Bernie's dangle down parts when we play or smell his tinkle while he's still squirting the flowers.

Bernie's confessions:

5. I steal Ellie's toys even though I don't really like them. It's a power thing.

4. Don't tell her, but when she's gone, I really miss Ellie. When she had to spend the night at the vets, I spent half the day looking for her.

3. I'm not really afraid of the garbage truck, I act scared so that the humans will take pity on me.

2. I pee pee on certain plants so they won't grow. Ellie's mom taught me do that to zucchini which she hates!

1. I like to watch X-files!
All right...now you all better dish it on out!
Double the Nubbily Wiggles, Ellie! and Bernie!

I miss my Mommy!!!

Today has not been a good day!
First, grandma took me to the see the puppy doctor. He checked me out and then he took me to a back room, and grandma left! Next thing I know...I wake up and my belly is hurting and I have a scary looking owie on my bellie. Something horrible has happened! And I keep hearing the word "spayed".

I WANT MY MOMMY!!!

The doctor says I can go home tomorrow but I have to spend the night here with some other doggies to make sure that I don't get sick. I wonder if my Mommy will be back or if grandma will come back to get me. I am very sad and I miss Mommy and grandma and Bernie!

Wish me well that I get better so I can go home!
