And one more picture of this beautiful loving doggie.


Goodby for now Heidi.




More pictures of our dear Heidi



Here are more pictures of Heidi. She was having trouble breathing Wednesday morning and we took her to the animal hospital. They took x-rays and said she was in heart failure and that her lungs were filled with fluid, and that she was dying. I held her in my arms until they took her in to the other room to put her to sleep, since she was struggling unsuccessfully to breathe.

Our dear friend is gone




On Wednesday, Feb. 4th at 4:25 am our dear doggie and friend - Heidi - died. Her unconditional love and good spirits were our treasured gift from God for over 15 years. She will be greatly missed.

A Dog's Advice

If we took a dog's advice we would learn stuff like:

* When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

* Never pass up an opportunity to go for a joy ride.

* Take frequent naps.

* Always stretch before rising.

* Thrive on attention and let people touch you.

* When you are happy, dance around and wag your entire body.

* No matter how often you are scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout.

* Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

* Eat with gusto and enthusiasm, and stop when you have had enough.

*When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.

*Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.

Good News

Monday I had good news. I saw my doctor and got the results of the CT scan and x-rays, et al and I am still cancer free. It has now been just over a year since my Jan. 15, 2008 major surgery.

Today I watched the inauguration of President Obama and used several tissues. It was a beautiful ceremony and I have a lot of hope that he will undo the terrible things that Bush did. At least the most evil person who has ever been in powere in the United States - Bush - is now gone. One newscaster said that President Obama and Michelle watched Bushs helicopter leave the White House to make sure that he actually left!

Unfortunately the "Rev." Rick Warren was present and gave the invocation and it appears he was even a main speaker at a Martin Luther King ceremony in Atlanta. He looked like the redneck bigot he is. It sad to see a hater and bigot get recognition but I guess that some people are always willing to listen to the scum of the world. Look how Hitler got attention and look how the Aryan Nation and the Ku Klux Klan get attention. The one good thing is that the internet said that only about 10 people clapped for the "Rev." and that is a good sign.

Going to church no more makes you a Christian than standing in the garage makes you a car.
