I'm Your Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Cherry Bomb!

Hey y'all!  Some of y'all thought da dress I wuz wearin yesterday wuz new - it wuzn't.  It wuz one of da dresses I gots from my birfday last year (since we celebrated dat in Florida, I had to have an allygator dress).  Anyways, dis are da new dress my momma made - it's got tons of cute lil cherries on it!

Dat are right, I'm your ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb!

I even has a musical soundtrack, BOL!

It are real cute - it kinda looks like 50s pin up style to my momma.

Here's a closeup - dere are even cherry buttons!

I's still lookin cute, even if I can't move much.

A new dress will still make me smile.

And here are me and my momma together - we been spendin tons of time together and I luvs it!  I's still not movin much at all - it wuz anudder day of da same.  I has to be held up be a scarf as a sling AND a harness wif a leash to do by bizness - it are embarrassin, speshully when weirdos gotta slow down dere cars to watch.  I don't watch dem do dere bizness, so dey should leave me alone, dat's what I thinks.

I got to go on a walkie today - I wuz alert for zombies, but we didn't see any.

My momma made Finley a cherry dress too and we wuz twinsies.

Den me and momma hung out by da pool - she are gettin real tan and I are workin on bleachin my furs out to be all white.

Since it wuz real warm again, I gots to get in on da S.S. Whitley for a lil bit.

Tonite wuz BBQ chikken and cream-style corn!

And guess who got some of each???  Dat are right - ME!!!  And it wuz delishus!!!

I's all ready for a nap now.  It wuz a pretty good day all and all, but I is not really doin any better which are frustamaratin. Sometimes I'll run in my sleep and it makes momma sad, she'd luv to see me walk again, much less run, but we know it isn't gonna happen.  I still can't even scoot around much.  All I can do is roll.

Please go visit my pal Forrest - he are gettin ready to make his trip to da Rainbow Bridge and I are shure his family could use some virtual hugs and POTP.  And I just found out one of my westie pals from Dogster, Ichabod, has lymphoma.  It are just too sad.

My momma and me really appreciamatates how kind everyone in Blogville has been to us, it are so tuff to be dealin wif.  As a lot of y'all know, my momma has had me since she wuz 15, which are bout half her life.  I's been coast to coast wif her and she are tryin to get used to da idea of life wifout me.  Which are why she keeps cryin I guess.  I don't like it when she cries.  After all, eventually I's goin to da land of endless BBQ chikken and smashed taters and eggie weggies and all dat goodness - it are no real reason to be sad.  And it seems like I's gonna have too many friends either waitin for me or arrivin right after.

The Perfect Date

Hey y'all.  Today wuz anudder ok day.  It started off not so great.  Well, me and momma woke up and she did my exorcising and I did my nappin.  Two hours of exorcisin are not my idea of entertainment.  BIG YAWN.  She says it helps distract her from stuff and relieves stress.  I say naps do dat better, so we are just gonna have to disagree.

She decided to test me out in my Whitley Wheels.™  I'd been takin a break from em since I'd gone out in my front leg.  She wuz using my most favoritest snacks, Nillas, to try to get me to walk.  I took bout two very stumbly steps wif my front paws den lied down and let out a sad lil howl.  It wuz just too hard.  Momma felt like she had been a big meanie, but she wanted me to try.  At least she gave me da Nillas.

Me and momma spent lots of time cuddlin today.  We even color-coordinated again.   And momma finished my new dress - it wuz sposed to be for May, but she figgered she'd better go ahead and finish it since she'd already started.

Den we went on a walkie.  Today wuz a lot better - no jerk peeples around.  I got to see a duck too and Finley ran at it and made dat sassy duck fly.  Which wuz fun to watch.

I wuz smart and used my stroller edge as a headrest again.

Den me and momma went out to hang by da pool.  After all, today wuz da perfect date. April 25th.

Or a bikini if ya lives in Dallas and you're my momma.  It wuz 86 here today - no light jackets for us.

Since it wuz so warm I got to get in da pool.

I enjoyed lyin on da S.S. Whitley.

Den I napped by da pool while I dried off.

It are Monday, and round here dat means Wingstop night.  I got my more dan my usual share of da rolls (YUM!) and momma also gave me some chikken (most of it are too spicy for us pups - my momma are a mango habanero fanatic, but she gave me a lil bit dat wuzn't dat spicy).  But best of all - I got somefin really speshul!!

Yup, I got beer!  I got a lil bit poured up in a bowl - it wuz delishus!  Where has beer been all my life anyways?  Now I know why momma likes it so much, BOL BOL!

Sunday Funday??

Hey y'all.  Well, my Sunday wuz kind of a mixed bag.  I's still not movin any better, but I's not really any worse either.  I guess ya could say I are holdin steady, but it are still pretty frustermaratin not to be able to move.  

I started off wif a nice nap.  Finley's daddy went and mowed while my momma exorcised and gave me a nice fresh canvas for yard art.  Fanks!!

My Spurs finished off da Grizzlies today, so dat wuz good.  I like dem, dey is old like me.

I gots a speshul brekkyfast today - scrambly eggy weggy and bacons!  I are livin da good life when it comes to noms for shures!

My momma gave me lotsa eggstra cuddles today.  I tolerated most of em a lot better dan I tolerated dis photo, BOL.

I got to go for anudder stroller ride today.

Da good part - I gots pets from a lil girl!  I luv da lil kiddos, speshully lil girls!  I wuz so happy when she asked if she could pet me.  She even told her momma dat she wanted a dog like me.  Finley's momma says I are an ambassador for da breed since I are such a sweetie.  I just really like da kiddos and have ever since I lived in Lost Angulus - dere were two lil girls at da apartment complex I lived in and dey luved me and petted me pretty much everytime dey saw me.  It are kinda crazy to think dey are 16 and 13 now since dey wuz lil girls back when I knew em.

But unfortunately, my stroller ride wuz not all funs.  Dis jerk guy crossed da street wif his lil dog to come right by me and momma and let his dog rush us.  Not cool.  And I got so upset/scared dat "anger pooped" my stroller.  I used to anger poop on walks when I saw udder pups.  Momma got real upset cuz she had made shure I pooped before da walk so I wouldn't mess my stroller.  But becuz dis guy had to be an inconsiderate jerk and let his dog rush me, I made a mess.  And I wuz real embarrassed bout it.  I's always been a real clean girl, I's never been one to roll in poop or nuffin (I know some of y'all like it, but not me).  So it wuz a bit upsetting for me and momma.

But den I got cleaned off and went for some time in da backyard.  It clouded up, so I didn't get any pool time since it felt a lot cooler today.  It wuz sposed to be sunny, but dey never know what da weather are gonna do in da springtimes in Texas.

I napped by da pool while momma read.  Den we all came inside and I napped in my crab bed while da mommas both worked on dresses for me - momma says she are finishin up da one she had already started.  And I are tellin y'all - it are a cute one.  Momma says she should finish it tomorrow so maybe I can show it off on Tuesday.

Tonite it wuz Nilla Wafers and Game of Thrones wif da mommas and Finley's daddy.  I'm #TeamStark all da way, I mean wolves are a WAY better sigil dan dragons or lions, right??  Plus, dat Jon Snow are a cutie who isn't into his sister.  Always a good thing!

One Day at a Time

Hey pals!  Furst I wanted to say a big FANK YOU for all da POTP and good thoughts.  Y'all are pawsome!  I are pretty much da same today - not any better, but not any worse.  I's still havin isshoes wif my front leg and are havin to be held up like a marionette.  

Right now we is takin it one day at a time.  I are not really shure what dat means, or how ya could take it a half a day at a time or three days at a time anyways, but whatefurs.  Anyways, today wuz da Fiesta Pooch Parade.  I got to go be in it four years ago - it wuz a pawsome time and I got to meet two of my Dogster pals, Ebby and Ceeley (dey are both at da Rainbow Bridge now).  I couldn't go dis year - momma had been thinkin bout goin until I took a turn for da worstest.  But dis morning, my momma and me saw dis on da Book of Faces - my friend Pugsley (he are Ebby and Ceeley brofur) dis.

Him and his momma are just da bestest, it made my momma tear up a lil.  Anyways, I wuz there in spirit since I wuz wearin my Fiesta dress, even if me and momma are a few hours too far north.

Lastest night, I got to watch my most favorite movie, Oklahoma, wif my momma.  She didnt even say nuffin tacky bout my native state!  Den today started out wif a nice nap - momma does her exorcisin in da mornin and it are sooper boring.  Finley's daddy sat wif me for a lil bit and gave me some eggstra pets, dat wuz nice.

I had a speshul brekkyfast today, fried eggie weggies and some Frenchy bread.  Oh la la!  Eggie weggies are my favorite and I usually don't get em cuz Finley are allyergick.  But momma says from now on I are gettin eggie veggies whenefur da peeps eat em.  Yay!!  Don't feel bad for Finley, she got more of da Frenchy toast, so she were not bein deprived or nuffin.  Depraved maybe, but dat are par for da course round here.

Den we went on our walkie.  I has gotten smart and are usin da edge of my Whitley Wagon™ to rest my head - it are easier dan havin to hold my head up myself.  No Yorkies to bark at today.

Den it wuz outside to hang out by da pool wif da mommas and Finley.  We are havin pawsome weather dis weekend - it are sunny and in da 80s - such a nice change from all da rains.

And best of all, it wuz openin day of POOL SEASON!  I got to get on da S.S. Whitley and I wuz so happy - coolin down in da water felt pawsome!

After dat, I dried off in da sun and took anudder nap.  Tonite I got some more nillas and some quality time wif my momma and Finley's momma and I's gonna get a chikken dinner too.  YUM!!!

Not Feelin Good

Hey y'all, I'm not feelin too good.  I woke up on Thursday morning and I was completely unable to move - it seems like at least one of my front legs have gone out on me too.  That's 3 outta 4.  Just like wif my back legs, it are pretty clear I didn't injure it - I was asleep in da bed right where I'd been put at Wednesday nite when I could use my front leg just fine - I'd used my Whitley Wheels™ to get around earlier dat day.  Momma wuz hopin I'd feel better today, but I'm not.  I'm not really wantin to do too much, I just kinda lay on my side and feel bad.

Momma are thinkin I mite have degenerative myelopathy (it are a degenerative disease of da spinal cord) - it kinda fits wif a lotta my symptoms.  Ya can read more bout it here.  It kinda makes sense - I started out walkin bad (we thought it was just arthur-eye-tis), then one rear leg went bad, then the other.  And now a front leg.  Da good news is dat it are not a painful disease.  Da bad news is dat dere is no cure, no treatment, and dat is eventually deadly. But if dat are what are goin on, momma are not gonna let it get to dat point.  She says dat wouldn't be right to do to me.

I's a terrierist and I don't wanna be a quitter, but I may not be around a whole lot longer.  I can't move at all now, da mommas said I are like a lil marionette when dey try to gets me to do my bizness.  It are real sad and everything for everybody, dey has been cryin way too much today.  I don't like it when dey cries, speshully since I can't even get up in dere faces and lick da salty tears anymore.

Right now, my family are tryin real hard to make shure I have da bestest time I can right now.

Me, Finley and da mommas spent da afternoon outside by da pool.  Momma said it are warm enuf dat I mite get to get in da pool tomorrow or on Sunday!  Yay!  Da S.S. Whitley are all ready for me - dere won't be any pool ball, but floating round will be nice.

Da mommas wuz even thinkin of me when dey went to da grocery store and dey got me my most favorite treat - NILLAS!!! I already has gotten a couple of cookies.

I also gots to go for a ride in my stroller.  I saw a bunny and I barked da Yorkie trio.  Can ya believe dey wuz gettin pets from a naybor and I wuzn't???  What da woof???

Look what else I gots - Frosty Paws!!  Dey eve has a westie on da box (ok, I has never seen a westie wif blue eyes, but I guess dere are artistical license or somefin).

Momma broke it up into smaller pieces for me and Finn.

Finley ate her Frosty Paws so fast she had to go to her room so I'd be able to finish mine in peace.

And I did!

I may be kinda over kibble, but Frosty Paws are a different story.  I also got some sossidge, pepperoni, and pizza bones tonite.  So not too bad a day for dis lil crippled pup.  I are makin da most of what I has left, it may not be long, but me and momma are gonna try our bestest to enjoy it together.
