Ailsa checking in

Hi everyone.
Ailsa here. We thought it was time I said hello, as you know Brodie was the one that did most of the chatting as he was the kid in the family.   I spend a lot of time just laying around, as I can't run around any more as my legs forget what way they should be going but I still love to walk s-l-o-w-ly around the garden. I was 13 on May 11 so I have excuse to go slow.

Walking round garden with Burtie

My day is, sleep, eat, have tablets, walk round garden sleep, have tablets, eat sleep well you gets the idea, Mums said its a wonder I don't rattle.

My morning tablets

Mums been trying to get a good photo of me but as soon as she clicks the button I put my head down.   she thought it might be the flashy but thinks I hear it click as she tried putting flashy thing off but made no difference.

 

As you will see from the photos I've taken up Bros spot in the kitchen to keep an eye on food preparation.  I still have the bed under the kitchen table that was put there when I was sick, I use that in the daytime.

I sleeps a lot

ON the news front, I've heard them talking about some dog thats might be coming to live with us, she's a long long way away, she has a big road trip that has to be organised and thens she will be puts on one of those big birds that swallow you up and make loud noises then spits you out at some other place,.  I know all abouts big birds as when I was a pup I was put on one and they lost me so I have always been frightened of noise, then Mums and Dads will take a drive and bring her to live with us.

Bone munching off the sheet thats suppose to keep my bed clean.

I drinks LOts of water now so its been moved into the kitchen.

 Burtie is fine, doesn't have Brodie to cuddle up to so is hassling mums a bit but he did see that there are a lot of look a likes on the computer so might start a club.

 

 I'll hate to tell the new girl when she arrives  but ALL the beds are mine, I uses them all at different times of the day,  she wont get here for week or so as she has just had operation.  She has a family that loves her buts for her own safety she had to be rehomed so mums found her through rescue, she has to learn to live in a house, just as long as she knows the beds are mine. 

"Tess"

 Will let you know if or when "Tess" arrives.

Cousin Ronan

Ronan
Aprox 1995 to 22 July 2009

Ronan belonged to our Skin Bro. She moved in with him because her family couldn't keep her anymore. Skin Bro had just left home and was for the first time in his life on his own in his own flat. Ronan has been with him ever since in all the ups and downs of life. she didn't mind car travel and with her fur sis who moved in with them a few years later (Burtys Mums) used to came to visit sometimes and stayed with us when Skin Bro went on holidays. But she was finding it hard to breath and last week X-rays showed what was probably lung cancer, today she left for Rainbow bridge.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigour. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. There bright eyes are intent. The eager body quivers. Suddenly they begin to run from the group, flying over the green grass, there legs carrying them faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
