Adieu, au revoir, and fare thee well.

Things have been a bit hectic, and sad, and wonderful and sad again, and busy and, well, just life....
And since it is going to get a lot more "Life" like in the next little while, I am sad to say that My Vickie and I must take a break. 
 But before we go (and My Vickie says, it is just for a few weeks) I wanted to thank my buddy James Dean, who as you can see below, is being "Sat on" by Carly.  (What is with these boxers and their need to sit on you?)
 My Buddy James Dean and his family brought us this beautiful, tasty delight for Easter.  And believe me, it was TTTAAASSSTTTYYY.   We are the luckiest critters alive to have the friends we have.
 And before we go Annie wanted to send a PAW to her family to show them that she is still fine but is anxious for them to return.  (My Vickie says, we now have all our garden dug out so it is ready for planting......Thank You Annie)
A special Easter Wish, I would like to send to my Love Charlotte.  She is the best girlfriend ever.
 And finally before we go we want to send all of our love to Ellie Mae's family.  Miss Ellie went over the bridge this week and we will truly miss her.  She has been coming to Canine Country Club for 10 years and our house is much emptier with out her here.
 Dear Miss Ellie
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.
Hope you won't forget me.

Love
Bert

Hey my buddy Bert. Wow, I really hate to think of a few weeks without you. I understand...sometimes there are just other things to focus on, but I'm going to really miss you and worry about you and Your Vickie. I hope everything is okay and I'm sending you a bunch of warm Sarge-thoughts. I'll be waiting for you!

Bert and Vickie. I had a treat for you, logged on to see what was going on and found this. So sad so much has happened. Helping a loved one go to The Bridge is hard work, no matter the circumstance. And the other things are also very tough. I hope you are spending time with your mom and also taking lots of time for healing walks. Truly think the world of both of you ;). Godspeed, will see you in 2!! Ps. I'll make more treats when you get back :).

Leann & Polo. Xoxo

Dear Bert and Vickie,
My dear friends, firstly, I'm so sorry that I have not visited this pawesome and pawsitive site in such a long time. My human, Gary, has been doing some kind of blogging tour of those doing some sort of alphabet challenge and I only just managed to get hold of the computer.
Please have a peaceful time away and life has a habit of becoming a profound reality. See you when you get back and bless you both for all you do here.
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny the Jack Russell xx

Today, I went to the beachfront with my children.

I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She
placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her
ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is
entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
