My Grandma

Hi, everyone!  I know I've been gone for a long time but Momma, Daddy, and I have been really busy helping Grandma and Grandpa.  Here is a note from Mom:

As many of you know, my mom (aka Twix and Taffy's grandma) has been fighting leukemia for several years.  She was the most courageous fighter I've ever seen.  There have been several times that we thought she would not be here more than a few days but she always fought her way back.  Unfortunately, no matter how hard she was fighting in her mind and in her spirit, her body was no longer able to keep fighting.  She passed away comfortably at home on Tuesday.  I've always known my mom was a strong woman but I never realized how strong until this past year.  She was a beautiful and amazing woman who touched many lives.  


Thank you for being a wonderful woman, Mom.
I will miss you every day for the rest of my life.

Thank you to our blogging friends who have provided support to our family over the years.  You guys put so many smiles on her face when she was down.

Lampshade Model

I'm planning to get back to work at the Blogville City Offices this week but, I've been injured.  I have something called a hot spot on my toes. 

It goes down in between my toes and is very sore.  I know, it isn't pretty but the worst part is that the V.E.T. says I did it to myself!  I am not very happy that my doctor said that......

....as you can see by my face.
Momma says I have to wear this all the time because I won't leave my sore alone and because the V.E.T. says it would be bad for me to lick the medicine off of it.

I have to go back to the doctor on Tuesday and hopefully I won't be a lampshade model when I get home because my sore is looking a lot better now.

My grandma is home from the hospital and doing better.  She is still on oxygen and her V.E.T. told her that it might be a while before she doesn't need it any longer.  She is still weak but we live close by so Daddy and Momma can help her and Grandpa most days.  Grandma has to get plasma and platelets several times a week due to her leukemia.  

Thank you all for sending her lots of POTP and prayers while she was in the hospital.  She was really, really sick and needed as much help as she could get.  I know she is also thankful for your support. 

For Stanley's eyes only:
I've really missed you but I'm glad to be back to work so I can admire your Monkey Buns!

Grandma Update

Thank you to everyone who has been sending POTP for my grandma.  She is still in the hospital and will be for at least another week.  She has the para-influenza virus which is very serious for people that have compromised immune systems.  As Stanley and Murphy mentioned on the POTP blog, her leukemia is no longer in remission but her virus is a separate issue from the leukemia.  Of course, each one affects the other but the virus is not caused by the leukemia.  

Her breathing has improved since she went into the hospital.  She went to the hospital because she couldn't keep her oxygen levels at a safe level on her own.  She remains on oxygen but her level is more consistent and doesn't drop as frequently as it had been earlier so we are all encouraged.  I know several of you remember when this all started with my Grandma and it has been several years.  She is a strong lady and she will fight through this again.

Taffy and Grandma 2012

Thank you so much for keeping her in your thoughts and prayers.  It may be a little bit before I can get back to Blogville City Hall......hopefully, I don't get fired!

Mayorz Marathon Miles 17 Through 20

I hope you guys all had a great time listening to our
Blogville DJ, Sweet William!

Welcome to miles 17, 18, 19, and 20!

Some strange changes have happened during the race and it looks like Easy is the only one catching on. 

More short dogs at the head of the race?

Looks like the big dogs are catching up to the littler ones.

Sugar might be starting to figure this out too.

Who let Shyla run near a mountain?

What is Roxy talking about?
There must be an issue with Taffy's mom....

Oh, no!  Murphy has lost Ruby....or has Ruby lost Murphy?
I bet I know where she is!

So, this is how the short dogs are in the lead.
Very strange for Stanley to do something like that.

Oh!  It looks like Stanley was just having a night mare!
It's a good thing he was dreaming cuz he coulda gotten thrown outta office.

Wyatt was able to get away from the pack and have a quiet moment.

You will have to go to
Frankie and Ernie's
in order to find out who is really in the lead of this race.

The Rest of the Story

STOP!!!

Before you read this post be sure to go to 
to see what Stanley and Taffy were caught doing.


So, Stanley and I had been talking about doing something to help out the pets in our community.  We were both aware of Joe getting hurt and decided to do something to help.  We thought if we were able to take some hay to him it would help out with their medical bills.  We had to keep our plan a secret in order to make our gift a surprise which explains all the whispering.

We had no idea that our conversation in the supply closet was overheard.

Stanley and I were so happy to be helping out our community.

 It was pawesome hearing Frankie talk to himself!

Yes, I did go for a roll in the hay....ALONE!

But I didn't know I was still wearing it....

I was shocked to find that Murphy was so worried he hired Sarge to figure out what was going on.

And I was shocked again to find out that Sarge actually tailed us!

Some of the rumors made me BOL!

Really, you guys thought I would put Stanley's life at risk? 
You have met my dad before, right?

Stanley and I are so happy that Joe loved our gift!

For those of you who aren't aware, Joe was badly injured recently but he is doing much better now.  His injuries were quite frightening and it was important for Stanley and I to show our support.

A special Thank You to Stanley, Frankie, Sarge, Joe, and Marg for all their help with this story line.  It was a lot of fun!!!

Out to Lunch

Murphy is VERY concerned that Stanley and Taffy
are hours late returning from lunch.

They return to the office and Taffy is unaware
she is leaving a trail of fresh hay behind her!

Ernie stops by Taffy's desk.

Uh oh!
Taffy doesn't have the judge's paperwork ready!

Ernie notices something strange about Taffy.

Murphy confronts Stanley about the extra long 
lunch break he and Taffy took today.

The Blogville City Office has become like a Dallas remake!

Overheard

Good morning, Blogville City Mayorz Office.
This is Taffy, how can I help you?

Taffy, this is Ernie.  I know how great it is being in love and all but you need to be careful.  Hiz Honor, Frankie Furter a.k.a. Tattle Tale Frankie overheard you and Stanley today.

What did he hear? 

I'm not sure but he has been whispering and talking to himself all morning.

What did Frankie hear?
You have to visit his place to find out.

Stanley and Taffy in the Supply Closet...ALONE!

Stanley finds Taffy in the supply room 
of the Blogville City Office.
Taffy is hoping spring arrives soon!
(Be careful what you say, Stanley doesn't like it when Taffy is teased about her step ladder!)

Stanley is happy he found Taffy in the supply room alone.

Stanley and Taffy discuss their

It doesn't take much persuasion for Taffy to give in.

Unbeknownst to the 2 love birds, 
the door to the supply room doesn't latch properly.

What is going on?
Check back Friday to find out!

I Turned Seven!

Yesterday was my birth/gotcha day and I turned 7 years old!  I hope Stanley still loves me since I am now considered to be a "Senior" dog.  Because I came from a mill, I don't know when my actual birthday is so we celebrate my gotcha day as my birthday.  Mom and Dad can't believe I've been home for 4 years already!  They both say I am a different dog than the one who came to live here back then.  I don't know what they mean by that but I guess it doesn't matter cuz I love them so much. 

I spent my birthday acting like a princess.

I woke up hungry and requested my servants provide me with some treats.

Look what they brought me!
I don't know if you can tell but that Pup-Peroni says it is Turducken!  
Feel free to give them a taste if you would like.

It was a very low key birthday but I'm ok with that.  I got treats and love, what more could a seven year old wire haired doxie girl want?

I Don't Brush My Teefers Day

Yes, yes, I know, this is Brush Your Teefers Day but, I don't do that.  I don't really like it and it hurts me.  As most of you know, the first 3 years of my life were spent making puppies at one of those horrible places.  During that time, I didn't have any dental care.  So, before I got to go home with Mom and Dad, I had to have a couple of my teefers pulled.....my 2 front teefs actually.  Then I had a whole bunch of teefers pulled the next year because they are just that bad.  Momma and Daddy tried brushing my teefers but I fought really hard even with the flavored teeferspaste.  Daddy said he thought the brushing was causing me pain so they stopped.  But, being the great pawrents they are, they didn't want me to lose the rest of my non-pearly whites so I have some different ways of keeping my teefers clean.

I get some of this stuff every morning on my breakfast.
We get this from our vet and it is just sprinkled on my food.  It only takes that tiny spoonful each day so the bottle lasts quite a while.

Then, before Mom and Dad leave for work, I get a Greenie every day.

I love my Greenies!  They are so yummy!
Then, when they get home from work, I get a Dentastix.

Oh, yeah!  These things are delish!  
Mom and Dad also provide me with lots of bones to chew on, but most of them end up buried in the couch.

So, see, there are ways to help out your teefies without using the brush....just in case some of you are like me and don't like it.
