She looks wonderful! So full of energy and so vibrant!
Otis - 106 pound lab/Dane mix, lost his right front leg to osteosarcoma on Febuary 9, 2016. Four rounds of carboplatin completed in April, 2016. Lung mets August 25, 2016. Said goodbye too soon on September 4, 2016. Lost his adopted sister, Tess, suddenly on October 9, 2016. likely due to hemangiosarcoma.
Wherever they are, they are together.
Applawse! Applawse!
You sure CAN fly, Eurydice, you are as fast as the wind and as beautiful as the rainbows. It's so much fun watching all the ways you spend your day there. We're learning so much, like I had no idea about that Pentangue game. If you catch the humans playing it, you'll have to show them the dog way to play!
Our days are even better when we see how much fun you're having

Oh ... you really made me feel special now, so so so special 💗🐮💗
I SO wish you would all be here with me for real, nothing would make me happier 💞💞 and I am sure Mom would be totally thrilled too 😄
I overheard her saying to one of her friends how she would love to be able to get me on a plane and extend our trip overseas as well ✈️🐮😍 and how she would rent a mobile home like Jerry's and we would spend the most amazing time going from place to place and meeting all of you adorable people plus your adorable fur babies 💖🐶😺
I hope we will be able to do it at some point, I just need to get a costume (I already have a passport) 👒👗👡👛 with my size I should be able to pass for a young woman but I have to practise if I decide to go for heels 👠👠 and can't forget my shades 🕶 and lipstick 💄
Sending you all lots and lots of licks 👅👅👅👅 some dribble 💦💦💦 and happy woof woofs 🐮

I felt particularly energetic this morning, and a bit cheeky too

Mom let me hop in the garden as much as I wanted and I later realised that wasn't by chance ...
She went for lunch with Ann and Augusta and as the restaurant was fully booked when we arrived, she wanted to make sure I would not even bat an eyelid and all went according to plan as I was snoring away during starter and main course and only got up when desserts were produced ... sadly, not for me ...

I did manage to get some furtive licks before the waiter arrived and ended my joy by removing the plates GRRRRR!!!
But at least now that I was awake and up, I got some cuddles from Augusta

The question of the day is for Sally....
How were you able to type EXTRAORDINARY so extraordinarily so many times on your tavlet?
