'N so ya know that we are all still doin' fine....here we are....all 3 of us lookin' mighty perky after our ordeal with the porcupine. Toby 'n me still have some quills comin' out but we're feelin' pretty good right now. Me, I never like ta pose fer the camera....Gram always has a time gettin' me on film.... Mom too....she sees that thing and wants ta take off..... We bid everyone a good day and hope that your weekend is stress free.
Remember this Sunday is Butler Doggie Fun Day.We'll be there fer the earthdog trials with our rats and earthdog tunnels. We hope we get ta meet some of ya there......cause we're gonna have fun, fun, fun !!!! This is Dewey Dewster reportin' on us and peace.......
Some of you may be reading this from other parts of the world.....others are joining us from the great country we call home and remembering....I think everyone can remember that day seven years ago when tears were shed around the world.... ..you cried as we cried.......
Today is a day to remember.....remember the day we were attacked on our own soil with our own airplanes....when brave Americans who tried to rescue others became victims themselves......when a group of Americans in a plane over Shanksville, Pa. refused to just sit in their seats and die without trying to save themselves and others. "Let's Roll !!!" Let us never forget that day on September 11, 2001 when we were glued to our TV sets....tears streaming down our faces in disbelief as we watch the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City burn......and as we saw the Pentagon in flames in Washington D.C. .........that day will live in our minds forever.......
"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door."
They wanted to bring us to our knees that day......to break our spirit.....what they did was UNITE US.
O beautiful for spacious skies,
(New York City)
For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassion'd stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness.
America! America! God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law.
O beautiful for heroes prov'd
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life.
America! America!
May God thy gold refine Till all success be nobleness,
(The face of a terrorist) And ev'ry gain divine.
O beautiful for patriot dream (The Pentagon) That sees beyond the years Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears.
(Shanksville, Pa.)
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
Let us never forget those who died that day when we see the USS New York, built with steel from the Twin Towers. America The Beautiful, the home of the Free and the Brave..........May God Bless them all......And let us NEVER FORGET.......
This is Dewey Dewster's Gram remembering yet again.........
We just wanted ta say that we are all OK and home now. But the computer we had with us crashed and so we couldn't update the blog. I Dewey, had to go back to the vet on Saturday cause I still was feelin' puny and Gram got some pain pills, antibiotics and a tranquilizer fer me. There are still quills comin' outta me but I don't want anyone ta pull 'em so they'll just have ta work out on their own. But in case Gram 'n Pap want ta ty that's what the tranquillizer is fer.
Now we get home 'n the wireless router isn't workin' well 'n so Gram has ta fool with it. Aw, the wonders of technology........
As soon as we can, we'll update everythin'......
But gee guys....thanks fer visitin' 'n thinkin' of us.....Pap says he's gonna try 'n trap 'n shoot any porcupines that come near our cottage.....they're nasty buggers fer sure.......
Oh, since we won't be updatin' fer maybe a few days, we just wanted ta post this lovely Get Well Card we got from Koobie....thanks a bunch Koobie....we love ya and yer poetry too !!!!! (click on it ta make it bigger)
Me, I never like ta pose fer the camera....Gram always has a time gettin' me on film....
Mom too....she sees that thing and wants ta take off.....
We bid everyone a good day and hope that your weekend is stress free.
