The Kid Turns One



The kid made it to age one! As any mother would ask, “Where did time go?” It seems as if we just brought the little darling (said tongue in cheek) home. The truth is, while he has tested every one of us, every day, he has truly added to our little pack.

Happy Birthday Migo!
Thank you Saint Francis for watching over him. (Lord knows he needs extra watching).

Migo is Moving to Grenada!!!

The first thing you should note is the three exclamation points in the title. That ought to convey how excited I am about Migo (also known as Meego and Meegs) moving to Grenada this August. It's not that I do not adore the kid, I do. He is just a very busy kid who always seems to test my patience and my ability to repair the damage before Jim finds out about it.

Life really has not really been the same since his arrival here. Oh sure, there's more dogs to love, and certainly more love to get in return, but the back yard has taken a HUGE beating. He has proven to need my constant attention. Even the simple task of reading a magazine takes on a whole new meaning when this 80 pound dog thinks he can merely sit in my lap!

His energy is unlimited. If you have been following my blog for any time, you know he has added much to our lives. So how is it I am so excited about his leaving home? It's simple really. He is going to provide Caitlin with a good source of companionship in Grenada, and because she has missed her dogs terribly, this is a good thing. The two of them will have lots of fun and many adventures together. (I promise to wipe a tear every now and again from my eyes).

The real question we should be asking...is Grenada ready for Migo?

While he is away, my blog will be left empty of Migo stories, however if you feel the need to know how he is doing in Grenada or what trouble he might be causing, (other than watching the news media for any "Crazy Dog in Grenada" stories), you can add to your favorite places the following site: A Golden in Grenada. I'm quite sure the blog will be full of good stories courtesy of Migo and Caitlin as the two settle down in Grenada. In the meantime, Migo has promised to keep us posted as to what he is doing to prepare for this adventure...so please check out the blog. It might be fun! ( I know I'm curious).

It's Wubba Time!

It flies through the air, it whips around at fast speeds, it squeaks, and it gets chewed on!! But mostly, it is loved.

He spins, he runs, he slides, and he twirls! He is happy and I just laugh!

Our puppy Meego has the silliest way about him (when he is not being bad), but when he plays with his Wubba, he is like a kitty rolling in catnip. What’s a Wubba? A Wubba, it seems, is a dogs best friend, and Meego has proved this time and time again. Per one doggy site, it is an innovative toy. “With its durable nylon-covered mini tennis ball and auditorily-intense squeaker ball, the interactive toss-and-tug Wubba Toy is a double delight to the canine senses.” And it was recently recognized as one of the best new dog products at Global Pet Expo, America’s largest international pet industry trade show! I can believe it.

Meego got his first Wubba from Caitlin when he was a puppy, but it as time has passed, he seems to enjoy it more and more. And when he plays, he plays! Our home is a center hall colonial and this provides him with an endless race track. He and his Wubba average speeds that are not even recognizable by radar! I’m not kidding. But mostly he makes me laugh, and that is what having pets is all about.

One Golden: $600.00
One Wubba: $8.00
Watching them together: priceless

Meego's First Snow!

Meego gets a taste of what snow is all about... finally! Like his siblings, he found the snow to be fun to play in, and roll around in, getting as wet as possible!
Snowflakes, snowflakes
Falling to the ground
Each one rests so gently
They never make a sound.
Snowflakes, snowflakes
Are so pure and white
The special thing about them is
No two are alike.
