I'm Back!!!


Hi Folks,
Riley here. I was really, really sick last month. Whoa! It was a close call. I can't tell you how awful I felt. I couldn't hear the birds and didn't care about the coyotes roaming in the back yard. No barks out of me. I just laid there. Oh yeah, I could get up to do my business, but that was about it. Shelley fed me by hand a bit and even though, I didn't feel like eating I saw the concern in her eyes and wanted to please her. The vet put an IV in me and told Shelley something that made her cry. She stayed with me and that made me feel better. They did a lot of tests on me......like putting me on my back with my legs straight up in the air in a dark room. Weird is all I can say!!! Shelley took me home and Steve was there. Oh, how I felt bad. Steve rubbed my belly a lot and loved me a lot. I was soooo tired. Well, I am here to say that I was not ready to kick the bucket and luckily my masters had a lot of hope for me to get well and.......I did!!!!! Hope saved me this time. Here I am feeling my oats again and loving the perfect winter weather of Paradise Valley, Arizona. I love my life and am glad I have more tummy rubs from my friends and family to look forward to.

Happy Thanksgiving to each and everyone of you!!!

Today!!!


Happy Is Today


Without a care and without a worry
I smile at the simple pleasure
Of laying in the cool green grass and watching
the butterflies frolicking in the breeze

All is well in my world right now
I can see the sun shining on the water
And I can smell the fragrance of the rose petals
And I can hear the birds singing a lullaby

These are the days I will remember best
When love surrounded me everywhere I went
A pat on the head and a rub on the belly
Life doesn't get any better than this!
