Well, here I am again.....

Hi Bloggies,

I tell ya that when ya are havin' fun, time certainly does fly. Here it is the middle of July and I haven't posted fer a long time. But I just want ya all ta know that I, Dewey Dewster, am still alive and well and guarding our little corner of the world.

Ya just never know if a robber or even worse, a vermin, will venture inta our yard or dare ta come inta our HOUSE. If they even TRY, I am ready fer 'em. Yes siree !!!

Update on My MOM

 

Well, in case ya fergot, last October and November, my Mom had 2 surgeries ta remove a cancerous tumor from 'er right hind leg. It was a fibrosarcoma, and the surgeon said that it would come back with a vengeance unless my Gram took my Mom fer many radiation treatments.

 

But Gram felt that at the age of 11, my Mom would not be able ta take all of those treatments (maybe 20 to 25 treatments) with a general anesthetic each time so she decided ta try a more natural approach. Gram found the Dr. Budwig Cancer Diet 'n she has been givin' my Mom the protocol from it now fer 8 months now.... along with some vitamins and supplements and good foods like Broccoli, a cancer fighting veggie. Yep, ya may snub yer nose up at broccoli but the 3 of us, we just love it. Gram loves it too.

 

Well, here ya can see yer yerself how my Mom looks taday.

 

 

What ? Ya say? Ya can't see my Mom?

 

Well, that sure is her just curled up in that little tub of water. She loves ta do that after we get hot playin' a game of ball. That is how she cools off.

Maybe ya can see 'er a little bit better here as she came up fer a bit of air.

We actually do have a bigger pool but Gram loves ta see Mom get into those little tubs.

Funny, ain't it?

See, here we are in our bigger pool.

There was a sprinkler on and we wanted ta get the falling water.

We sure love bein' up at the cottage but it has been a really hot few days here.

The weather all over has been hot as Hates, but we think relief is comin' this weekend.

 

See, My Mom looks pretty healthy, doesn't she?

Toby tried ta jump up ta heaven ta get that falling water.

This sure is a great way ta get cool on a hot day....and that well water is ice cold too.

Refreshin' I say..... absolutely refreshin' !!!!

A Special little visitor

 

Gram 'n Pap went up ta Erie, Pa. one day when we were up here at the cottage ta visit a friend who had moved inta a new neighborhood. This little guy was layin' out on their patio while Gram 'n Pap were there.

He's hidin' beside the grill and maybe he thinks that no one can see 'em......silly guy !

Here's a close up picture of the little fellow who seems ta have had a bit of an accident on the concrete. Guess he isn't house broken or patio broken either.

 

 But he sure was cute and looked so docile just restin' there. There have been 2 fawns in their neighborhood lately and they are just makin' everyone smile a lot when they see 'em.

 

 *******

Well, it sure has been nice ta visit with ya again but I really have ta get back ta work. I think I heard a noise out front and I want ta make sure both Gram 'n Pap are safe.

The job of a wire fox terrier is NEVER DONE !

 

It is an Important job and I do it well !

This is Dewey Dewster sayin'  "Hi" ta all the bloggers out in the world. Keep safe and healthy and if yer Mom gives it ta ya, remember ta always eat yer Broccoli !

Back in the Sunshine State

Hi ya Bloggies,

 

I, Dewey Dewster, am here ta tell ya that we are back in the Sunshine State

enjoyin' the delightful weather

and we sure are happy that we are not shiverin' back home

and wadin' thru a ton of snow......cause it sure is cold back home.

 

 

I love ta relax in the patio room where it is nice and warm.

 

 

Me 'n Toby guard the perimeter of the house from our great vantage point by the window.

Ya know geckos are always tryin' ta get inta our house

and I have ta make sure that they stay out!
 

 

Big silly birds walk in the middle of the road here

and they take their good ole time movin' outta the way too!
 

Doggies ride around in sports cars here....

.'n they sit in the seat just like they own the car!

Ya get ta see beautiful skies and lots of water cause there are a ton of lakes in this part of Florida......

.'n one is prettier than the one ya saw before it.....

that is Lake June right after sunset.

And this is on a canal leadin' out ta Lake Istokpoga

where more than 1,000 bass over 8 pounds were caught in less than a year.

Lake Istokpoga is one of the largest lakes in South Florida.

I wanted ta eat one of those bass fer dinner but I wasn't offered any.

 

Ya have ta love those angry skies framed with trees draped in Spanish Moss.

 

There's somethin' about the air here too......it's fresh and clean .....

 

Well, me 'n Toby are back on the job watchin' out fer vermin

 

and catchin' a few more rays of the sun.

 

Remind me ta tell ya about all that has been happenin' ta my Mom lately

 

......that's somethin' fer me ta save fer later....cause it is a LONG story.....

 

In the meantime.......wherever ya are........stay safe........stay warm......

 

'n stay dry.....cause baths are fer those who can't run 'n hide fast enough.......

 

 

 

This is Dewey Dewster reportin' on bein' back in Flor-ida.......bein' back on patrol......'n stayin' warm......

 

Heaven is.............

Hi ya Bloggies,

I tell ya....time has a way of flyin' by.

When yer OLD like my Gram,

Time has no meaning at all.....

She promised us that we could post ta our Blog,

That was the beginnin' of February.....

Here it is March and we have only created ONE POST......

Not satisfactory, I tell ya.......not satisfactory at all......

But I hear that the procrastination is about ta stop.....

And it sure is about time....

We actually got ta do somethin'

Other than watch Gram 'n Pap work around here.....

We got ta go swimmin'.....'n  water ball playin' in Lake June.....

I tell ya that it was refreshin'....definitely refreshin'.......

'N fun too.......lots of fun.....

Pap gets ta be the one ta throw the ball and be in the water with us.....

Gram takes the pictures....

She's not good fer much else.....

My Mom just LOVES ta play ball.....'n when she gets it......

She is REALLY EXCITED !!!!!

Ya can see that we really get inta playin' the game.....

And I can tell ya that I, Dewey Dewster, am gettin' ta be a better swimmer too.....

I learned ta use my back legs ta swim....instead of just usin' the front ones.....

Pretty smart of me....isn't it?

We were over at Aunt Sandy's house on the other side of the Lake.....

Here's a bit of the scenery there.......

More grass and much greener grass than we have........yep....fer sure....

A dock with a boat.......

And just plain beautiful water.......

Now before I lose my computer helper,

I will leave you all with this lovely picture of

The 3 of us....lookin' out the bedroom window here.....

Here's Lookin' at Ya !!!!!!1

Bet this will help ya all remember just how Cute, Handsome, Darling we all are....

This is Dewey Dewster reportin'...'n signin' off from our winter hideaway........but we'll be back....

I promise.

Free at last...........

Hi ya bloggies.....

I tell ya, after spendin' all that time in Florida without toys 'n without a yard ta play in, we were ready fer some good exercise so we could stretch our legs and flex our muscles.

We have a yard at home but it's pretty little and ya can't do much runnin' around there before ya run right inta the fence.

So Gram 'n Pap took us ta the cottage so we could really run and have some fun too.

 I have been playin' with my toys non-stop since we got back. Ya have ta count 'em every once in a while ta make sure they are all still there.......
I also have ta make sure no one steals 'em......

I was lookin' in the toybox at the cottage fer a special toy and was havin' a devil of a time findin' it.

If I could just see inta the bottom of the toy box, maybe I could find that toy........

Toby always tries ta help but there just isn't room in that box fer two of us........

We had some pretty nice weather this visit and so we got ta play some serious ball. Now ya have ta understand that my Mom has loved ta play ball since she was a little pup. Now I love ta play ball. And Toby does too. Fer some reason my Mom doesn't want Toby ta play...'n so she gets mad at 'em.

I tell ya one of these days, Toby's gonna get mad right back at 'er.....


Now since ya have seen us play ball before...do ya remember what happens when my Mom gets hot?

Yep...ya guessed it......don't ya wonder how she gets 'er whole body inta that little pan? I tell ya.. it defies all logic.

We even splashed water onta Gram's camera lens on this one........but ya can get the picture.....

Geez, we sure hate ta leave once we get here but we know that we can always come back again......freedom ta us always means....well, bein' free.......

This is Dewey Dewster reportin' on a cottage visit, playin' ball and coolin' off.........Have a great weekend everyone.....

Goin' With The Flow............

Hi ta all.........

We sure didn't disappear or anythin' but we've been outta comission in the blog world fer sure.

We blame it on Gram.....'n we're lookin' fer another new Gram right now ta take 'er place 'cause we need someone ta help us with the blog that isn't as busy.......

Know anyone willin' ta accept the job ?

Anyway, we don't have much ta report except fer our last trip ta the cottage. The camera person hasn't been using' the camera like she should be.....I won't mention any names but I think ya know who I mean........

We went fer a walk and my Mom got all muddy layin' in a mud puddle. So that meant that the pool got out and we all got ta get wet with the hose.......


We all love ta jump at the hose and that water is really COLD too cause we have a well there.....


But there's nothin' like a refreshin' romp in the cold water ta get yer blood flowin'........


Now for those of ya that want ta see us in action.....here it is........watch closely cause we move FAST..........

And then when we got home, Ross Township had their holiday fireworks goin' on and we have a Birdseye view from the back deck......so Gram did take a few pictures of the display.....

Gee, we're sure sorry that we haven't been around lately. I did sit Gram down a spell and had a talk with 'er but I'm not sure if we have an agreement ta do better yet or not........we may have ta go ta arbitration........we'll keep ya posted on any progress we make......

But have a great weekend and I promise we will be around ta visit soon.....

This is Dewey Dewster reportin' on a lazy Gram and our trip ta the cottage......

A Terrier-ific Meeting

Wow….ya just won’t believe what we did this past Tuesday…….come on now….....try ta guess anyway…….put yer thinkin’ cap on ‘n give it a twirl……spin yer bully stick ‘n see where it stops…….did ya figure it out now????

Oh well….guess I’ll have ta tell ya then. We, as in me… Dewey Dewster, my Mom… Asta Marie ‘n the red headed step-child…. Toby, met the famous canine healthcare professional, Lacie….nurse extraordnaire , ‘n her big terrier brother BabyStan complete with his huge jaws. Oh yeah…. ‘n Mumsie came along fer the ride too…..well…..Ok…. she drove ‘em ta the park cause Lacie didn’t have ‘er own car…’n maybe her drivers license was revoked fer some minor infraction too.

We got ta go with Gram ‘n Pap cause we don’t have our own kar like Koobie….’n we don’t have a driver license either….’n we like ta leave the drivin’ ta them so we can watch out fer other doggies that might be out and about while we’re on the way.

We were so excited ta meet them cause while we don’t live that far away…we just never got ta make their acquaintance before. Why, Toby even got ta ride in the car fer the first time without bein’ in his crate cause he hasn’t been getting’ car sick lately…..’n that’s progress, I tell ya…..progress.

Now, Scruffy didn’t get ta come cause Mumsie woulda really had a hard time controllin’ the 3 of ‘em…….I heard he was heartbroken cause they left ‘em at home by ‘emself. But maybe we can meet 'em another time cause I was sorry he didn't get ta come.

We met in North Park. It's a county park not too far away 'n they have a place ta walk yer doggies 'n port-a-johns 'n fountains placed along the way so ya can get a drink 'n use the facilities ta get rid of it too. We walked a bit after the introductions were over....'n stopped by the funny tree along the way ta take some pictures. Except if ya get all of us in the picture....ya loose the funny stuff on the tree.

It was pretty hot that day so we stopped ta get a drink 'o water at one 'o the fountains where there was a bowl ta drink outta. My Mom was pretty hot 'n she always knows the way ta cool off quick....yep....ya guessed it....she climbed inta the bowl 'o water. That was a small bowl too.....
Then she got curled around ta get her whole body inta the water.

If ya really wanta get cool... ya gotta get yer face right in there too.....way ta go Mom.....

After ya get a bit cool... ya can come up fer air....'n drip off a bit.....

This is one of the best pictures of the group 'o us cause we are all lookin' forward at the same time. Ya ever try ta get 5 doggies ta look the correct way at the same time?????
Then there's just the 3 of us on the picnic table......Gram just took a bunch 'o hair off me 'n Mom so we look pretty well groomed fer a change......
Then there's Lacie, my love (or is she?) 'n BabyStan....now does he look like a baby ta ya at all ??? Why he's bigger than all of us put together fer sure....... Mumsie asked Gram ta bring her groomin' tools ta show 'er what they looked like....'n Gram got poor Lacie 'n took all the hair off her ears.......bet she wished she stayed at home instead of Scruffy....
Now, Gram got her video camera out 'n took a bit 'o us checkin' each other out. I call it Lovin' Lacie......cause I was really in love with 'er....til we met...that is.....see why..........

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can ya believe my sweet Lacie acted like that fer real ???? Maybe she was just mad cause Gram took all that hair off her ears....don't know why.....cause she didn't need it.......

I almost think she doesn't like us at all.....er, well maybe it was that time 'o the month. What do ya think ?????

It was time ta go home but before we left, I had ta give Mumsie one 'o my big wet kisses. I, Dewey Dewster, am a lover fer sure..... Now can ya see why I'm known as such a sensitive guy....'n Mumsie had the softest nose I ever kissed......

Gee......we sure hope we get ta go on another walk with the terrific terriers 'n Mumsie too. Next time we hope ta meet Scruffy ......

This is Dewey Dewster reportin' on a very special meetin'.......
