Mom took Mulligan to the playground without me. I know she does it to give him more exercise so I am not the constant chew toy, but really!!!! I want to go for a walk too. Maybe later Mom will take both of us. Anyhow, here is the video of the boy at the playground today.

Here is Mulligan at the playground in November. Hmmm I think he has grown some.

Hope you enjoyed Mulligan’s time without me.

Until next time,

2011 has been a very different year for my family. It all started with my Dad having colon cancer, then Ted becoming a tripawd, in the spring Dad lost his Mom then his cousin then his uncle then his sister-in-law. In June we lost our beloved Ted E. Bear. Dad went through chemo treatments for 6 months. Mom’s Mom got remarried in October (we lost Mom’s Dad to cancer in 2006).  November Mulligan joined our family. Whew what a year.

Just about a week ago, Dad was in the hospital for a reversal of his colostomy. He is now home and recovering nicely. For Mom, this is the first Christmas in her entire life not to be with Mom’s Mom. All is good though, Mom’s Mom is having her first Christmas with her new husband, and Mom is having her Christmas with Tom and all of us furbies.

All is right with the world in our family.

Until next time,

Mom has finally snapped a picture for all of you to see. Oh yes, apparently Mulligan is the star of the picture. 

I just know we will get to Australia.

I was remembering when we were puppies, Ted. I remember getting a little dirty, but Mulligan has topped anything we ever did. Oh my goodness. I have more mud balls on me than I ever thought existed. Mulligan and I are digging a hole and are trying to give our pawrents a portal to Australia. I think we just might make it.

Thank you for bringing Mulligan to us.

Until next time,

Mulligan and I have been playing and playing and playing all weekend long. Here is a short clip Mom took of us playing.

Until next time,

Yesterday was a big day for my little bro.  His day started with no breakfast, then a walk with Mom but without me. I guess that was the easiest way to keep his  mind off the food and the rest of us could eat. Mom and Mulligan were a bit wet when they returned as it was rain/snowing out on their walk. I was not happy that I was not included in the walk, but I think I understand now.

Next thing I know, Mulligan is going out the front door again with Mom. Geesh, he got to do everything yesterday. I waited patiently all day for Mom, Dad and Mulligan to return. He sure was a funny boy when he got home. He was soooo dopey, he had bags under his eyes. After dinner, he relaxed and took many naps.

Today is a new day for him. He is no longer Mr. Dopey. The bags under his eyes are gone and he wants to play. Mom and Dad are watching very closely so he does not over do. I am being gentle with him too. He will be back to himself in no time, I just know it. I am really enjoying playing with him.

Until next time,

Life in my house is just great. The energy Mulligan has brought is wonderful. We all have our moments of course, just like any other family, but over all it is great. Mulligan is such a good boy for Mom and Dad. Oh Oh, let me tell you what the two of us did last evening.

As most of you know, we have a “dinner dance” each evening. I am the lucky one who dines outside. Mulligan is not allowed to see me until I have finished my dinner. In the mean time, he is inside eating his dinner with Missy and Hank picking up the food he drops while he wanders around the kitchen. Anyhow, when I am done, Mulligan comes to finish up what I have left him. He is not the neatest eater at all. So, he drops bits of food. Some of those bits of food land between the wooden platform and the stairs. Now the fun begins.

The space where the bits of food are also has leaves, mud, worms, and anything else that can fall in the space. Well, Mulligan and my nose get to work. We smell the tender morsels and begin to dig. Woof Woof Woof, we have a blast pulling up the leaves, worms and bits of food. Mom and Dad look out at us and just smile. I think they are glad we are working together. Well, when the deed is done, both of us have very muddy feet. Mom really does not care, she laughs and wipes our feet off.

Ted, thank you for guiding Mom to get Mulligan. Could you also help guide him not to take the socks and underwear off the bed and bring them down stairs? Mom and Dad would really like to put those on. Thanks.

Until next time,
