Sorry for our absences. Life here has been Suzi-fied and egads is she a time suck! Lovely girl. Sweet. Eager to please. But lacking in house manners, car manners. Lots of intermittent training repitition. But kudos to the girl. She's learned sit. She's doing just an occasional demand bark when food's involved. She'll do a stay, until I turn my back! She's got the "come" command in the bag. So she's getting there. And seems so much more at ease knowing what our expectations are. It all takes so much time, though. Would be easier if she were a hearing dog. Will gets his one on one "best dog" time, too. I am so proud of how wonderful he's been.

Abdominal x-rays tomorrow for MsSuzi, a consult about her allergies...OMG, she's allergic to everything! But she's so deserving of the pampering and attention and care.

Fuzzy's placement was at the Angels' Overlook pet cemetery at the Sanctuary yesterday. Beautiful crisp, snow covered day. Will and I did a walk about at the nearby labyrinth in honor of the little boy. Many of Fuzzy's friends were there and the boy was placed with love, laughter, and lots of tears. Fitting.

Cats sense the new dog's "goodness." Sharing the couch, sharing the bed. I still separate them when I leave the house. A precaution.

But this is a Polly condo. And she's really throwing some nice sustained numbers. I'm remembering the late nights of testing from the way-back machine when I was first adjusting to the sugar dance. She's feeling fine, all P's in place. Back to hauling her butt up to the top of the bedroom cat tree, back to sunning in the office window hammock. It's been a while since she's holed up in the bathroom cabinet and even longer since she's found refuge on the totes in my closet. No heel clicking nor singing from the rooftop yet, but I am encouraged. A little less weight on my shoulders feels good!

Even when we're not here, our thoughts are. Hopscotching through condos a bit tonight. More catch up tomorrow. But know we always send

Vines and wishes.

Marilyn and Polly

Thank goodness Polly is back! Otherwise it's a lot to handle more than one at once. I wonder if she'll be good for tomorrow's vetty appt. for Suzi?

Sending more vines for Suzi. Especially some good vetty appointments for her allergies. Our shelter had a cute little white thing that was a cute little pink thing with white hair until the new adopter found that he could eat raw ostrich - and that was about it. Suzi looks like one of those "eager to please" dogs - helps the training.

Fuzzy's placement sounds lovely, with his fan club and their memories.

Scritches to Will and Rowsie too - be good furred ones.

Nice #'s for Polly. Glad she is feeling better. Fuzzy's placement sounds really nice with all the love, laughter and tears. Fitting. R.I.P. Fuzzy. Nice that all your furbabies are getting along, and that Suzi is learning her manners. Sending vines for Suzi.

 

[Tiger(GA) and Ruth]

That's so heartwarming to hear you talk about Suzi,despite her adjustment period, I am so in love with her!! Cheering her on! Glad the cats like her too, that's huge! Vines being sent.

((((Fuzzy)))) I think it's harder to go and collect the remains, but his placement at the sanctuary sounds wonderful.

Eh? Polly, oh yeah.... Go Polly!!

 

[Bron and Sheba (GA)]

So good to hear from you again. I was wondering where your condo was!
Suzi sounds a real character. And Fuzzy's placement was special.
Sheba told me she saw Polly at the lagoon today

 

[Ella & Rusty & Stu(GA)]

Hi Marilyn,
Polly is really looking good.
Fuzzy's resting place sounds just beautiful. He's with many friends and he knows how much he is loved and his memory treasured.
Many vines for Suzi. She may be taking up a lot of your time, but she sure is worth it. Sending good vetty vines for the abdominal x rays tomorrow. Have you considered trying Standard Process Allerplex for her allergies?

Have a good weekend. Thanks for visiting Rusty.

Hugs and scritches,

Ella & Rusty

p.s. some pats for Will

Lovely to read all the exploits in Pollyworld, my, you have been busy. I'm glad to hear Suzi is settling in well and learning how to be well mannered and sociable, she sounds such a cutie. Vines for her vetty visit. Fuzzy's placement was special, just like him, and I'm sure he approved. Will is a star, accepting Suzi into his home and heart.

Look at Poppydoodlebug go clever girl. Scritches to her and Rowsie.

I'm glad Polly is doing well. I just read about Suzue now. She's lucky to have found a home with you. Darn cancer. I hope it turns out to be the treatable kind. It's just not fair. Vines and prayers for her. She sure deserves a break.

 

[carfurby (GA)]

Great update for Polly. It sounds like Fuzzy's burial was special, just like him. Sending prayers for Suzi.

 

[Anne & Hyde (GA)]

Glad to hear all is well in Pollywood. Nice of her to share her condo with all the 4 legged. You know we want to have an update on everybody.

Heartwarming to hear about Fuzzy's send off. Could not have asked for anything better. Hugs to you and anti-cancer vines for Suzi

 

[Mandarin'sMom]

Good to see you back on the board! Suzi sounds like a very special girl. I am sure that she is thrilled to be in a home with a person who gives her a sense of security and takes such excellent care of her. Sending lots of vines for good news from the vet!

....and I wish that I lived closer to Best Friends. I have spent two vacations at the sanctuary and I loved every minute of it. Angel's Overlook is such a special, peaceful place.

 

[Doodles & Karen]

You're amazing with all you do! Glad to hear Polly is doing well and enjoying the window view. Vines for Suzi, extra rubies for Will and peaceful wishes for little Fuzzy. Enjoy your Saturday and hope you get a little rest time.

As always, thanks for visiting Doodles

 

[Peg and Toby]

Nice numbers for Polly. Keep up the good work girl. Sounds like Fuzzy has found a nice place to rest. R.I.P. little guy.
Wishing Suzi good vetty vines. It's so hard when they have allergies. Glad Will is doing good to.
Hugs to you for all your hard work.

 

[Anne & Zener GA]

Wow, lots of action of all kinds in Pollywood these days! Sweet Fuzzy, many tears shed in L&LL for you. Angel's Rest is a wonderful spot. Many vines for Suzi and her medical issues. She couldn't get better care between you and BF.
