I'm back! Sad story

Hi every pup! I finally got a few minutes on the compooter today.

You see, my mom has been very busy the last few months. Some of you doggies may know that my auntie Laurie had something really bad in her brain...She had two surgeries to try and make it go away. It didn't go away. The last few months my momma has been helping her out, and she wasn't doing good at all. My momma spent lots and lots of time at my auntie's house, and even I got to go over there to see if I could cheer her up. Last Sunday, my auntie went to heaven momma says and momma hopes that she met Beau her doggie at Rainbow Bridge and Jordan hopes that Daisie was at Rainbow Bridge waiting for our Auntie too. My momma she is so sad, and I've been trying to help my momma to not feel so sad. Momma says as soon as things settle down, I can start blogging again. Momma was busy trying to keep a caring bridge site up for my Auntie and that is why I couldn'd do so much blogging. So hopefully I'll be back real soon

Happy Valentine's day every dog and TANNER!

My mom's still gone. HMPH. I don't know when she will be hoMe. I couldn't even send anY VanEntiNes to my doggie friends or to my husband since I've been abandonneded. So I'm sneaking on here to wish everyone a Happy Heart day.! Mine is beating for Tan Torkelson. Hope yours is beating for someone special too!
Enjoy your day!

Missing in action.....sorry

Hi everyone:
I know I've been missing for awhile but I can't help it. My mom has been busy with my Auntie Laurie. She has a brain tumor and is having surgery so my mom has been in Rochester and not at home with ME.

HMPH. Noone to chase after or beg from. Noone to hog the bed, or jump on. Noone to LOVE.

Say a prayer for my auntie and when mom gets back I PROMISE I will post again. Mom took some sporting new pictures of me and the hooman pups! I got a haircut and am looking very vogue...........

Love ya'll
Lillie

To my Tan Torkelson!

I got a message from Tan Torkelson a.k.a. Tanner Doofus (but remember he's not really a doofus). He said he' like me to blog since, I hadn't in quite a while, he'd like to see me. Well. HERE I AM!!

Its been pretty cold here in MN. Where we live we have about 24" of SNOW! Last week it was -29 one morning with a windchill of -50!! The hooman pups DIDN'T go to SCHOOL for 2 days. Can you believe it?

Then it warmed up (well sort of) until last night.....today when I woke up it was -11 with windchills from -26 to -36!! That is chilly. Right now I am chillin' with Kendra on the bed. She's making her hooman pup friend a birthday gift! I am helping. So I better go and help her finish! Talk to you all SOON! Oh and, I LOVE YOU TAN TORKELSON! I don't care if you have a booty mark on your face. I just hope that your mom doesn't take you back to that MEAN vet person! Maybe you should run away and come visit me. You'll need your parka, though!

My most handsomest husband, Tanner has asked me to talk about some secwets. I'm sposed to tell you three. Problem is I'm sposed to have the pictures to prove them. Yeah right. My most evilist mom hasn't let me blog for over a month! So I am going to try and see if we can come up with three.... I know this post is kinda late since he asked me to confess last week, but since we were behind on blogging, I thought I'd post my most secretest of confessions.

Here are the rules: Make 3 confessions (Conan O'Brien style) with the pictures to prove them. Then nominate at least 3 friends to do the same!

First of all: It was my hooman pups' birthday and I sneaked some of the frosting off the cake.....you can't really see where it is here in this picture because it is up on the top where it says "happy birthday". I guess I just thought the puppies were soooooo very cootie!!

Second......If I am hungry (which is most of the time) and my EVIIIILLL mom won't feed me, I knock over the food bucket and feed myself. This is what you call a doggie booffet. Notice Mr. Whiskers taking part in my boofet? I'm not so dumberest after all am I Mr. Whiskers???? huh, huh?!?

And lastly.....this picture shows a little bit of what I call "doggie heaven". Its a special place we go to once in a great while if I'm being really good. (We go there about once a week, silly girl!) It is my secret place where I can run off lead and chase rabbits and squirrels and snakes!! Mr. Whiskers comes too and its at my Grandma's house!! While the hoomans work to help Gran take care of the lawn, I run free...........and I come when I'm called and mom tells me what a good girlie I am. I like to go poo there because there are soooo many places! My gran says I don't go at home so I can go at her house!?!!!

Well, that's my three secrets confessions.. Not all that exciting. I wanted to confess my love for mom's hairdryer but I don't have a picture. Its hard for mom to take a picture of herself drying her hair and me loving that dryer up! Oh, and guess what! I had my birfday a couple weeks ago and I am now two!! I got some neat presents from my hoomans I'll have to post about. I got a stuffed flea!!

So now, I'm sposed to have 3 friends give their confeshons so, Maggie & Mitch if you are reading this......and girl girl, how about you???

Happy Birfday To Me!

'Ello fellow blogging dogs. This is Kendra, Lillie's hooman pup sister. Today on Septemember 7th, 1993 I was born. So that makes me 15!!!!! Dudes watch out I will be driving soon. HAHA. Anyways I took a lot of force to get Lillie to let me blog so I better make it quick. So today I got some of the bestest gifts in the whole world! From my mom and dad I got this really cool camera. But mom says I can't put pictures on yet. From my Grandma Cheryl I got the rest of my books. My friend got me started on this series called Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. You dogs and hoomans may have heard of it. Its pretty popular and it's going to be a movie. I was so happy I screamed!! I also got a Roxy Sweatshirt, socks and lots of money. I guess I made a haul. And at my church today my mom and grandma made me get up infront of everyone and they sang Happy Birthday to me.
Well maybe I'll get on again. But Ta Ta For Now. Thats what Tiggers say.

Attention, Attention everypup & their hoomans

Hello, everyone. This is a very important AND serious post. The information it contains is serious and maybe you even know about it. I might be telling you something you already know. Mom wishes she would have known it. Well, actually she did know it, but didn't realize it. The story goes like this......

Mom has a friend named Wanda (yes folks, she has a friend!) and her friend had a bischon named Codi. Mom was camping with Wanda a couple weeks ago. Mom asked Wanda who was watching Codi since no dogs were allowed on this trip. That is when Wanda told mom that Codi had died. Mom felt really bad, and Wanda proceded to tell Mom that Codi died of what they thought was pancreatitis and after he passed away the vet told him he thought that Codi got into sugarless gum. Mom didn't think anything of this until...... Fast forward to last night at the Gross house.
Mom took the hooman pups to do the last of their school shopping. In the checkout line the kids ask for gum. Of course they can have gum.....OR should they?

Now, you know kids. They LUV me. They LUV their stuff. I LUV their stuff. Kendra (who feels TERRIBLE) left her gum on the coffee table. You know, airedales....They are nosey and love to eat and sniff stuff out. Well, I found the gum. Now don't worry because I'm alright. There I was, minding my OWN business when boomerest. Someone slugged me in the headerest. I had that gum in my jaws, but darnest that Jordan got the nasty stinky (actually gooderest smelling) gum away from me. He took it to Kendra and she inspected the package....then she took it to mom. HMPH. I was NOT happy that they interupted me and my gum chewing. So anyhow, they got the gum away from me, like I said. Mom looked at tha package and it was totally destroyed. Then suddenly as though a lightbulb went on inside mom's head- she remembered what happened to Wanda's Codester. Now since the hoomans didn't know if I ingested the gum or not, (and mom checked me for fresh breath- none for me thanks) mom decided to watch me. She looked up a few things on the internet about Xylitol, which happens to be baderest for us doggies so don't even any of you think of stealing sugar free gum from your hoomans I am telling you this! Mom got a little nervous because everything she saw said to call your vet immediately. It also said that usually symptoms of (large quantities) ingestion occur in as little as 15 to 30 minutes. Since mom didn't really know if I ate any or not, she didn't call the vet. What apparently happens, or so mom says, that the Xylitol causes a drop in blood sugar, and can cause hypoglycemia (whatever that is) and seizures, as well as liver damage. She was really nervous, but she took really good care of me. She continued to watch me, and the kiderest cried because they thought something bad might happen, but I didn't appear sick. Which is good. But it was very scary for my family. Today I am still well, and mom is going to continue to keep an eye on me. We are thankful (or I should say I AM) that the littlest pupster, Jordan whackered me on the headerest to get that nasty stuff out of my mouth. AND mom says now, NO SUGAR FREE GUM! NO WAY NO HOW. We will not be taking that chance again. Please pass this information on to all your friends who may not know about this nasty xylitol. Mom wishes that she would have remembered it BEFORE she let the kids have the gum. For more information, go to: www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/xylitol.asp if mom KNEW what she was doing she'd be able to direct you there from here.

Now, I know my mom LUVS me, because she has been watching me like a hawk since this incident. I even slept in BED with her last night! She was so worried and I just took advantagerest of the sitchooashon. I'm eating ,drinking, and acting like a goofy airedale, and NO MORE GUM FOR ME!
