Gma Mary We Love & Miss You!

Hi Everyone,

We are all a family because of you Mary and are grateful every day for it~

Gma Mary & Gpa Philip you are in our prayers today. We know how very much you miss Gma<3 td="td">

Today is the anniversary of a VERY SAD day in the lives of everyone who knew our dear Gma Mary~ She brought so many of us into this world and made sure that we all went to homes that would take care of and love us! Gma we all pray that you are playing with all the babies that you lost and missed so much when you were here. We all try to be good doggies and we will remember and Love you Always! Mr. H

Here is the poem that was written by our dear friend Trevor Hardwick for Gma Mary from all of us SBG Cocker puppies<3 all="all" knew="knew" nbsp="nbsp" p="p" right="right" say="say" thank="thank" the="the" to="to" trevor="trevor" words="words" you="you">

                      Puppy Love

         I remember the very first time

 

Gma's hands on her precious little baby Violet:)

       I opened up my eyes

Grandma Mary picked me up

And comforted my sighs

 

I wagged my tail and licked her face

And licked and licked some more

Then she put me on her lap

That’s what grandma laps are for

 

I was born a cocker spaniel

I’m not an ordinary pup

I am loved much more than most

When grandma picks me up

 

I kiss her face, I chase her feet

I yap and play all night

And when I’m scared, I cry for her

She makes me feel alright

 

A puppy’s life is hard, you know

There are lots of things to do

I eat and sleep and chew on things

And then I’ve gotta poo

 

I can’t say how blessed I am

So I just wag my tail

I can’t say “come play with me”

So I just bark and whail

 

I can’t say “I love you”

If the moment should arise

So I just say “I love you”

In my little puppy eyes

 

So thank you Grandma Mary

For not leaving me alone

For finding me a family

And for finding me a home.

Mom Is In Puppy Love Again!

Hi Everyone,

I just don't know what I'm going to do with my mom! How is it she can love so many other puppies when she has me? I just don't get it~  You should hear her carry on about Coffee & Bucket down in Texas and now that the Firedogs have a new little sister oh boy! I can kinda understand about that she sure is a cute little button:) Hey there Jazz, you've got some pretty special big brothers! Hershey has a sweet new little sister too! Jazz & Holly are sisters and mom hopes that we can see both of them at the family reunion next year! I think mom is just in love with every cocker spaniel on the planet!

It sure has cooled off tonight! And this morning mom dumped almost 2" of rain out of the rain gauge. It was raining and lightening this morning when we got up and we got wet our first time outside and I did NOT like that at all!

Abby called me on the pawphone and she and Maggie aren't very happy their mom has to go back to work in a week and they are going to miss her. I told her I sure do wish mom would have won that lottery last night and then their mom wouldn't have had to go to work she could have stayed home with them like she does in the summer. I told Abs that mom is starting to get back in my good graces but that a few more bully sticks wouldn't hurt anything!  Hey there little Mags you are looking pretty darn cute yourself!

This is Bucket howling for his brudder Coffee to get home so he could eat:)

This is Coffee! Mom loves him!

This is the Firedogs new little sister Jasmine:) You have really good big brothers little girl:)

Coffee again! MOM!

This is Holly, Jasmine's sister:) Looks pretty comfy to me!

Mom & baby all pooped out:)

Keep putting your best paw forward and try to keep you mom and dad in line:) LOL Mr. H:)

Let Me Go Mom!

Hi Everyone,

Mom let me go!! I want to run!!!

Is that a squirrel over there?

Come on mom I want to run!

If only I could go!

I will keep dreaming!

NO Mr. H the last time you ran off to the neighbors and I can't run after you! And I don't want something bad to happen to you! If you could be a good girl like Bee you could run loose and we could play ball without you being on a leash:) I'm still trying to find your collar so you can run and I can get you to come back. I sure do wish you would come back to the squeak of a ball like you used to! I Love you too much to take the chance of something happening!  MOM!

Mom Is So Proud Of Her Flowers!

Hi Everyone,

Mom is really happy that her clamadus is blooming again! And she told me that other one should be blooming pretty soon too. That thing has gone wild! And mom just planted both of them last year!



Blooming Again:)

Yes Mom they are pretty:)

Wait till that thing blooms! It's gone wild!

Ok Mom you are working at getting back in my good graces:) Love Mr. H:)

We Had A Rainbow Tonight!

Hi Everyone,

Tonight when mom took us out she had to come back in and get the camera to take a picture of the pretty rainbow and there was a slight breeze so the flag was blowing:)

No rain but we had a nice little rainbow!

God Bless America!

Keep putting your best paw forward!!!

Going For A Ride

Hi Everyone,

Mom took some pics on our ride to see Grandma & Aunt Germaine last week and she said that we are going to be going back again hopefully on Friday!

These pics made mom smile while we were sleeping on each other. I love my mom and my mom loves me:)

I Love you little girl!

Gma Mary knew you would be happy with us:)

Big Yawn for a little girl!

Hi Mom!

Yes I am comfortable!

Awwwwwwww!

I love you mom:)

Keep putting your best paw forward! Mr. H:)

Abby!

Hi Everyone,

Lucky for mom Abby sent her passport to her so she could get back from her trip to China! I think she is trying to get caught up a little bit tonight. I do understand that mom has been pretty busy with important stuff so we can have doggie food and all the good things we are used to but........

Abby our mom and your mom keep talking about the new little girl Jasmine and how much she reminds them of you when you were a wee little baby girl! They are both thrilled for the Firedogs to have a little sister. The boys are all happy to have their new sister:) Our moms wish we could have stayed puppies longer. Moms it doesn't work that way and we do know how much you love us even if we did grow up too fast!

Abby when she was a baby:)

Abby that's what I would like to do to my mom! Thanks sis!

Thank you for helping me get back Abby! Love Auntie Kim

Keep putting your best paw forward! Mr. H:)

Grandma & Aunt Germaine

Hi Everyone,

We got to go and see Grandma & Aunt Germaine the other day and mom says that we are going to go and see them again on friday. We got to stay with Grandma when Aunt Germaine & mom went to lunch. She hasn't been getting around very good lately. She will be 93 years old on the 27th of this month. I would like to ask all of you to put Grandma & Aunt Germaine in your prayers. Aunt Germaine has been trying to help Grandma all she can but she just turned 91 in June. She fell down the steps a couple of weeks ago and when mom talked to her today she said she fell again the other day. Mom is really worried about both of them,

Grandma was happy that we stayed with her while they were gone and we were good and just laid down and took a nap. We love it when we visit, we always get treats and Grandma & Aunt Germaine love petting us. Mom is very proud of us taking treats nicely,

I LOVE you Grandma!

And Grandma LOVES me:)

Hi Aunt Germaine:)

Yes I am a good boy:)

We LOVE both of you!

Guess who has the nummies?

All gone:(

Keep putting your best paw forward! Mr. H:)

Bully Sticks!

Hi Everyone,

Mom is trying to get back in our good graces and she is going to have to do better than this, but it's a good start! We LOVE bully sticks! I think she should go back to the store and get more than just 2!

It's cooling off around here and they are saying on the news that it's only supposed to be 69 degrees for a high on Friday! We are liking that sounds of that!

Good job Mom!

It's about time we got bully sticks!

So you think I'm holding it like a cigar, I just know it's good mom!

Yummos!

Ahhhhhhhh:)

Keep putting your best paw forward and I'm going to keep after my mom! Mr. H:)

The Firedogs Have A Little Sister!

Hi Everyone,

This is VERY exciting news! There is a sweet little girl named Jasmine that now has 3 big brothers, Brinkley, Matty & Sparky and they all couldn't be happier! Auntie Angie told Auntie Marsha that it would all be good and this was supposed to happen and now Auntie Marsha knows that Aunite Angie was right:)  I think that Auntie Marsha should have a girl on her side living in a house with all boys! They sure do look good all together and mom was pretty happy to see that her name is Jasmine. Mom's first cocker spainel was black and her name was Jasmine. Everyone else calls her Jassy but my mom calls her Jazz.

Mom's Jazz was when she feel in love with cocker spainels and it's been over ever since. This little girl is going to be a princess and we can't wait to see all the great pics to come. The one's out there now are Awesome!

Congratulations on your new addition and we can't wait to see and play with all the Firedogs!

Mom I would like to have a word with you about this "camp" thing, from all the pictures I saw, it looks like fun!

We have  lots more news around here, but you know getting my mom moving anymore is kinda like moving a mountain and I still am just a puppy!

Jasmine Welcome to our world! You are going to have a wonderful life as the first girl Firedog:)

Yes we want to keep her!

Keep putting your best paw forward and I will keep trying!  Mr. H:)

We Had Puppy Company Today:)

Hi Everyone,

Today our friend Heaven got to come and visit:) Her mom asked my mom if that would be ok and she said it would be great for her to come and visit. And mom felt pretty good that we got to tell her mom about the Bag Balm that helps me with my nose, it helped Heaven so much today, that her mom was going to get her some tonight:)

We got to play with my new friend Austin. Austin has been coming out and helping mom with projects outside. They have gotten a lot done and we can't wait for dad to get home and see all of it:)

Mrs. B was a little snippy when Heaven first came in mom said that she didn't want any puppy taking her spot. Heaven is actually Bee's sister from another litter. Mom couldn't believe how she talks like Bee. She can come back and visit any time!

Austin with Bee & Heaven:)

Austin with all 3 of us:)

It took mom awhile to get all 3 of us in the picture while we were playing!

I say let's take a break Heaven!

I'm a  pooped puppy tonight! You all keep putting your best paw forward!  Mr. H:)

Good Morning!

Hi Everyone,

What is this morning and mom is updating my blog? No this will NOT get her out from under the doghouse that she is in about this!! I have been very patient and she knows that now I have put my paw down and there had better be more than 31 posts in August or else!!!

I am happy to report that all the holes are now filled back in the timber from where the stumps from the trees we took down were ground out. Mom twisted her ankle over a month ago and hurt her knee at the same time but she is getting better now.

There are going to be several updates soon now that some of the work is getting done around here!

I hope that you all have a GREAT Friday and enjoy the weekend! They are talking like we might get rain around here and mom is doing some funny kind of dance hoping it's true!

Abby give me a call on the pawphone we have to talk about this! Does your mom ever do this funny dance? What is wrong with our moms sometimes? I think mine is crazy, but I do know that she loves me and will do everything she can so I am happy and comfortable but she needs to get better about updating my blog!!

Yes mom I am still mad at you~

Keep putting your best paw forward! Mr. H:)

MOM!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone,
OK Mom it's a new month and do you think you might be able to take a few minutes to update my blog each day this month? I have showed you what I think about you being so far behind in all my updates!

Mr. H I am VERY sorry for getting so far behind! You know I've been really busy with things that I have to do. I know it's not an excuse but I promise you I will try to keep up better this month.

Ok Mom now its time to show me!

This is the side I'm going to show you mom till you start doing a better job of updating my blog!

All my puppy friends keep putting your best paw forward! Mr. H:)
