TGIF

Hello again!

Thanks to all of you who stopped by this week. Granddad, sister Dawn,cousins and some new friends.

In the future,we will talk about some of the ideas presented to us. Companion and Pet therapy, grooming , Bichons, socializing( yeah ,play time) and training and behavior tips.I do some tricks, and they were so easy to learn. Thanks for the suggestions.

Yeah! for the weekend! Every Friday morning when Maloa wakes up,she tells me TGIF, and I know that the next couple of days I get her all to myself!

I don't like when she leaves for work, and I let her know it. I give her a really sad face, and she lavishes me with treats. I hide one of my cookies every day, and eat it when she returns home. Maloa shares an apple or pear everyday with me and Gloria, our parakeet. We sit on the swing on the patio. It is our daily ,after work ritual. Sometimes when she takes too long to give me my piece of fruit ,I get a little vocal and let her know. Once in a while I am naughty, and try to take Gloria's fruit from her cage.Rarely am I successful, but its fun trying.

Today I had to go to the vet. Maloa had some trauma yesterday when she came home from work and saw a big lump on my back. I am fluffy and white usually have ribbons and a bandanna .I am always neatly groomed, so this totally freaked her out! The Vet said I had a swollen gland. He then proceeded to shave my back about 3 inches in diameter, and took the lump out. He said not to worry, it would be easy, and it wasn't life threatening." Easy" for him to say.Besides, the little procedure really HURT and now I look goofy.As always, I was a good girl , and gave everyone kisses when it was over.I am sweet that way.

Our friend Poalani, a mini schnauzer, passed away this week.Her mom Darla was so heartbroken, as they had been each others companion for almost 18 years. "Po" had a wonderful life with Darla and her sister Keiki( a long haired chihuahua) We brought them flowers and a card and pray for healing time.

It will have to be a quiet weekend. I shouldn't be running around too much for a couple of days while my back is healing, and my fur grows in. I was not able to go to my Friday night visit with Dick and Judy. Maybe tomorrow. Guess I'll call it an evening,I am getting sleepy now from all that excitement at the Vets.

We will be back soon, and on to new ideas.

Have a happy and restful weekend.

Aloha and sweet dreams,

Makena and Maloa
