An Early Easter Surprise!

Every single year, the Easter Bunny seems to skip our house.....or come days late! We got some bunny ears this year, hoping that Mr. EB won't forget about us!!

And to our surprise, a package arrived today!!! From our furiends Jack and Oliver in NJ!!
They felt bad about our past experiences with the EB so they wanted to make sure we had a special Easter!

Ebby wasted no time tearing into the toys and destroying the squeakers!

I of course enjoying sawing off whatever small limbs I can find! BOL!

Thank you so much guys!! We feel Eggstra special this year!! Who needs the Easter Bunny when you have furiends like Ollie and Jack!!!

Benny & Lilly are celebrities!

Today in the mail we got our usual "Only Natural Pet Store" catalog, and we were flipping through it as we always do, and get to page 33........Mommy shrieked and shouted OMD it's Benny and Lilly!!!! We know them we know them Ebby and I kept shouting!
How cool!!!

Spring time = visitors!

Boy, March and April have been busy month's for us with family visitors!

My daddy's mom (I call her Nana Sue) came to visit us for my daddy's birthday!
She got to meet my sister Ebby for the first time.....and as you can see, Ebby and her got along quite well!

We got to celebrate Daddy's 29th Birthday with delicious cake! As you can see, me and Ebby patiently waiting on the floor in case anyone dropped any crumbs!

I also found a new spot to catch some sun! Daddy had put the chair cushions up on the table while he was cleaning and when he turned his back, I hopped up on the table and made myself quite cozy! BOL! Mommy and Daddy got quite a laugh out of me!

And then LAST week, Mommy's daddy came to visit, (Pep Gary I call him). He too got to meet Ebby for the first time! Pep Gary is the best.....he fed me STEAK! We don't have steak in my house unless Pep Gary comes to visit, so I think he should visit more often! BOL!

Saving more wanderers!

The humans are starting to wonder why it is that stray and wandering dogs keep coming across their paths. This has to be at least the 6th or 7th time that they have come across some loose dogs who make their way to our house!

It was a quiet, hot Sunday morning, when the humans were about to go into the yard to catch some sun, when these two stragglers showed up in the backyard. The one on the right, was frantically trying to get into the lanai, while the one of the left, was taking off across the retention pond. The humans grabbed our leashes (the nerve), and managed to capture them both. Luckily they both had name tags with their address and phone numbers.

First they walked to the address, which happened to be right in our neighborhood, and no one was home. Then they called and got voice mail only. So the two dogs came back to our house and hung out in the backyard for a bit.

This one was named Bella. She was soaking wet so she must have ran through someone's sprinklers, or swam through a retention pond.

This is her brother Elliot. He was quite the howler!!

So glad there was a happy ending here, and after about 15 minutes, Mommy received a call from the owner who was out grocery shopping. He had left the dogs in the backyard and they clearly dug their way out. Thank goodness they wandered to the right house!
Ebby and I were barking our tails off in the house though because we knew their were doggies in our yard!

I told the humans that perhaps these dogs read my blog and they just wanted to meet me! BOL!

Thoughtful Thursday

Stumbled across this today.......very sweet and wanted to share!

A day in the life of Bruschi and Ebby

Hi! Just me, Bruschi here......Mommy has been so busy with work lately she's had very little time to help me blog. My Nana Sue came to visit last week and my Auntie Moe too......but she said she'll help me upload those pictures later. But for now, I didn't want you to forget my face. So here I am on Saturday, watching Mommy lay on the couch and watch TV!
Oh and don't forget about my sister Ebby. Isn't she so pretty! Mommy says she gets prettier every day! When we call her "Pretty Girl" her tail goes 100mph! BOL

The weather has been so great here that Ebby and I decided to get some sun in the lanai. Nana Sue bought us this neat storage box but I use it as a new seat. I could lay out there for hours and just listen to the birds chirp, watch this giant turtle dig his way through the retention pond, and of course, keep an eye out for squirrels!

Hope all of my furiends are having a great week so far! Hopefully I'll have better stuff to post later!

Tragedy for a Friend

It is with a heavy heart that I post about Cosmo. Cosmo was a staffordshire bull terrier who lived with a family friend of my pawrents. They actually breed show dogs and Cosmo was new to the show scene and was already becoming a champion.
They live on about 5 acres on this beautiful fenced in property complete with a lake, several other dogs, and 2 miniature horses. Cosmo was out playing with his sister Fiona, when tragedy struck. He was bit by a snake. A very BIG snake. Within just a few minutes, Cosmo had passed away. His Human daddy rushed him to the vet right away but it was too late. The vet estimates that the snake was at least a 10 footer, and possibly a rattlesnake! Poor Cosmo didn't stand a chance. He was taken from this earth much too soon.
Please pray for Cosmo's family as they struggle to cope with this awful awful tragedy.

RIP Cosmo. You will be missed by so many.
