A little vacation

Hi all...my master felt that she needed a little vacation from writing (like she is soooo busy) but any way, she promised to write today, so here we are.

There has been alot of rain around here, making our walks kind of interesting. Puddles to jump, frogs and toads to chase and lots and lots of bugs. Luxi can't stand any kind of bug, she is such a wuse. I watched her run from one room to the other just because of one little fly! Any way, its suppose to rain again today and be very hot and muggy. I don't like hot and muggy coz my master won't run us with her bike. Sez its bad for us, but I think she just doesn't like it for herself.

There has been a bunch of new dogs here, some for a day and some that have stayed several days. Didn't get pictures of all of them....soooo many. But there is one dog I have to write about, coz it created quite a stir around here.

It involves a Boston Terrier.

Last week, someone called the office (where my masters work) and wanted to know if any one had lost a little dog. It was roaming around their neighborhood and they thought maybe it had run away from the camp sites. No one had reported a lost dog here, so my masters thought the people that called the office would take care of that poor little dog. They did water and feed it, but they didn't bring it in out of the heat, so it ran away........to our RV park. Someone found it and brought to the office. There was a family here that said they'd take it if no one claimed it.

Now, how lucky can you get...that little dog had someone already to take him. Trouble was, he was hurt, couldn't walk very well. But luck continued...that family said that they would take him to the doctor.....and would keep him, requardless of the outcome...WOW....thats a lucky dog.

The family is a military family, heading to their new posting in Virginia. He is in the Coast Guard and they just happened to stay here on their way there. The dog is a Boston Terrier about 1-11/2 years old (what the doc said) and was loaded with fleas. Also, it appeared to have back problems from either getting hit by a car or by someone kicking him. They think someone just dumped him along the side of the road and left him. Anyway...they named him DABNER and he will be a part of the family of five and another dog called TEXAS. I love a goooooood ending..don't you?

Here is picture of Dabner...didn't get one of Texas, but I think he was part bulldog, boxer.

Well, don't you think he is just the cutest thing! This is a picture Dabner looking up at my master with a treat in her hand. She is feeding him my pupperoni! Oh well, guess he deserves alittle treat. I guess I will stop for now, will try and stay up on the writing (or my master will)

Take care, Tuck

Memorial weekend

Yeah!...new dogs have come to town, I mean the campsite. I am soooo excited to smell all those new smells. There are a bunch of people around too, tall and short ones. I'm not so sure the small ones know how to be quiet, We'd get into trouble if we talked as loud as they do. Oh well, they are puppies, er... kids, so they get to get spoiled.

My master went around and took some pictures of the new dogs, I haven't met them yet. But I did want to show you Buddy and Freds "after the hair cut "pictures...they look so good!

























These next set of pictures are of the new dogs that I have not met yet, but sure want too. They are super fine looking!

This is Zoie, she is a 8 years old Pap-westie mix and next to her is Mitzey, a 11 year old min-pin...isn't that dress just the greatest! I don't think Mitzey liked getting her picture taken, she stuck her tongue out at my master!

















Across from our RV site there are five dogs that I have not met yet, but they sure are a mix of dogs. Most of them are rescues, just like us and they each have a great story to tell, but I won't have time today to tell it all. I will give you the group shots and then, maybe tomorrow, the stories.


















So, until later, hope you enjoy your holidays like I am...and remember to remember those who fought for us and paid the ultimate price...men, women and K-9s. Tuck

New place to stay

Well, Hello...we are at our new site and have been for about a week. Takes time to get all the smells down and see all the new things, like trees and bushes and picknick tables and fence posts and on and on. My master tells me that we will be here for a couple of months, so get use to it. The only thing I don't like right now is the wind, it blows my ears back. Its sort of slow right now in this camp ground, but should get busy later next week or so. Have only met the owners' dogs and a couple of others.

Let me introduce Buddy and Fred. They belong to the RV resort owners and are very friendly. Buddy is the black one and almost looks like me...he is not happy right now coz he is going to get a haircut soon...and he told me that he likes being a free agent and taking 'unsupervised' visits to the neighbors down the road. Fred, on the other hand is just a mellow fellow, likes to watch the world go around. But he doesn't mind joining Buddy on his visits to the neighbors. I will get a updated picture of Buddy post haircut...soon.

The two new friends of mine, one is a poodle named Anna and the Shipoo is named Sally. She is our next door neighbor (the white one). Thats the only problem with being at this camp ground, our neighbors don't stay long like they did in Texas...but on the other hand, will get to meet more new dogs and cats!

So anyway, I have lots of pictures and things to tell you, but not enough time today..just wanted to catch you up on where we are and what is happening. It is sooooo much fun here, so much green grass and NO stickers!!!!!

Until later.....Tuck

Tribute to Tasha

Hi

While we are staying at our friends house here in Lincoln, and Jackson is so kind to share her yard with us, I thought, even though I didn't know Tasha (Jackson's sister) very well, our masters did. She passed away in January and I know Jackson and her masters really miss her, so I wanted to say something about Tasha and show you some pictures.

Tasha was a German Shepherd and a very pretty girl. She loved chasing her Kong toy and keeping it away from Jackson.

She wasn't very happy with us small dogs coz one attacked her when she was small and she never got over that...but she loved everyone else. She would greet her humans with a full body slam, just wanting to be petted. Her tail always seemed to wagging and always seemed to be smiling. I wish I had gotten to know her better, but such is life. The last couple of years caught up with Tasha and she wasn't able to play with her kong as much as she wanted...I would hate not being able to play.

So, I know Tasha was loved and is greatly missed. But I also know that she is in a good place now where she can run and not feel pain...so Tasha, I will probably see you sometime in the future and maybe we can be friends then.

A visit

Hi

We just got back from visiting my other master Marg's parents house. Stayed there for about a week and got to play with Zach and Zoe who were visiting too.( My master Marg's nephew and neice). We like going to Bob and Dorothy coz there is a lot of room to run and play. We get to watch out this big picture window people walking and running around a track.

And sometimes, Dorothy will give us extra little treats like cherrios at breakfast time.....yummm!

I think Dorothy likes us coming to visit...she pets us all the time and throws the ball for me!!

Here are a couple of pictures of me, Toby, Luxi and Zach.

Anyway, we got to play and play and just have fun running around. Even shy little Luxi got into it. It was great to see them all.

We are back in Lincoln now, getting ready to head back up North so my masters can go back to work..hee-hee.

Catch ya later.....Tuck
