The dogs must be crazy!!!













So here I was enjoying my walkies around the lake when I came across this sign on a gate - I wandered over to have a look and could hardly believe my eyes! They have a pier for dogs to jump off ???? What self respecting dog would WANT to jump off and actually get WET ????? Before Mom could get any crazy idea's I quickly looked off to the other side - I am sure there was something much more interesting OVER THERE on dry land.

In other news we will be needing the Power of the Paw next week and maybe a few prayers too. Mom is going to have surgery again. It's a BIG surgery and we are all a little scarred and worried - given what we went through last year. They will be sliding a muscle from each of her sides and pulling it together in the middle to reinforce her stomach. Currently she just has skin only over her stomach and that doesn't offer much protection for her insides and this is putting a lot of strain on the skin. That is why we have been doing such a lot of walking, to help Mom be strong for the surgery. So please don't worry if you don't see us around for the next couple of weeks - we will be busy helping Mom get better again but we will try to leave a few quick messages.

I love the picture. We would love to go swimming, but Mom has never found a place.

We will keep your Mom in our prayers. Mom has an appointment this week to find out about surgery and there never is never a "simple" surgery for a variety of reasons. We hope our Moms come through in much better shape and are able to play more.

You know, I have two friends who love to jump off of docks. One is an Aussie and the other is a Lab. Go figure.

We'll say a prayer for you.

OH MY Goodness, you have a pier for dogs to jump from. That sounds just like heaven to me.

Maybe I better come out there to try it out and then I could help you take care of your mom after surgery.

Well, probably not, but we will be sending prayers your way and safe surgery wishes

Take Care of her
