Animal Clinic of Rockbridge in Lexington, VA

Mom really likes their motto!

We wanted to go in no problem!

Kim the owner of the practice on the left and Barbara! Sorry we didn't get a picture of Dr. Bailey!

Hi Everyone,

As it goes it's another night of feast for posts on my blog. You know my crazy mom she is also forgetful! She forgot to bring along our Frontline and Interceptor and it's time for us to have it on the 4th. So she stopped by this clinic in Lexington, VA and found the nicest people there!!! We weren't with mom when she stopped by the first time. She did have all our paperwork from our vet back home with her and she thought that would work for her to get what we needed. The Frontline was no problem but the vet there Dr. Bailey told mom that Virginia law is very strict and they would have to see us to be able to give her the Interceptor. So she went back to the truck stop and got us and when Dr. Bailey was done with a surgery he gave us each a free exam so that we could get what we needed. The girls there were sooooooooooo nice too. Kim is on the left and she is the owner of the practice and Barbara was the one who helped us get settled into a room. Mom was so happy and thankful!! We both are very good about going to the vet and we will drag mom in. We know the places that will let us in. We haven't been to PetsMart in awhile mom hint hint!!!!! Ok this is the first update and mom is promising a couple more! Go out there and put your best paw forward!!! Mr. H:) Thank you again to Dr. Bailey, Kim and Barbara you are all AWESOME!!!

Happy May Day:)

Happy May Day!

Hi Everyone,
It's feast or famine when it comes to mom updating my blog I swear sometimes! I know she has other things to do sometimes but really don't you think that she could give me a few minutes a day? We hope that it's nice wherever you are and having a fun day! I'm not sure if Abby gets to go on her train ride today or not. She was going to go yesterday but had to stay home and help her mom plant grass and do things around the house. I sure do wish that I could go with her on the train that sounds like fun. Maybe we can do that this summer at our family reunion:):) Come on Angie you made sis work yesterday now let her go and play today:) Mom has told me about Nitro being in our little family network now and she carries on about his brown eyebrows and how much she loves them! I just don't know about my mom I think if she could she would have as many doggies as Gma Mary & Gpa Philip and then where would I be? At least I have dad to make sure that doesn't happen:):) I am his buddy and he likes to play with me and he loves to hold Mrs. B and rub her tummy she really loves that. She's got mom and dad both really well trained to do that. She just rolls over and they get busy tummy rubbing. I love that mom and dad are so easily trained:):) OK go out there and put your best paw forward! Mr. H:)

Playing Ball Before We Left Home

Better watch out Mrs. B will take your ball!

A ball will hold their attention for hours:)

I am cute and happy Gma Mary:)

Thanks Mom!

I have to take a little break just to catch my breath!

Hi Everyone,

We did get to have some fun before we had to leave home. Mom has a good supply of our favorite squeaky balls. She does get behind on my updates which doesn't make me happy but I think it would be worse not to have squeaky balls. When we go outside at home she makes sure to take 2 so we each can get one and bring it back. The weather reports at home say that it's cold and not so nice and it's still snowing up in North Dakota, that's crazy! It was beautiful here in VA yesterday and rainy and cooler here today. Hope it's nice where you are! Mom will put up some pics of the cars that were at the car show in the truck stop parking lot yesterday! Go out there and always put your best paw forward! Mr. H:)

Happy Easter!

It's just plastic eggs mom!

Hi Everyone,
I hope that you have a very Happy Easter. Mom was going to get us new bandana's but didn't get it done yesterday. She only had a Easter basket to take a picture of us this morning. I would have liked it better if there had been squeaky balls in it. But we did have a wonderful breakfast with cottage cheese and eggs:):) It's warming up a little bit and we got to play ball a few times yesterday and mom has promised to play ball with us today too. Mom read Gma Mary's blog and told us that she is home with the MOB and doing pretty well. I want to tell her and Gpa Philip and Nanny Janice how much I love them and am glad to see that she is doing better and I hope that all her flowers are up and blooming soon! Mrs. B wants to send her love too. She has really found her voice and she doesn't use it as much as I do mom always finds it funny to hear her bark. The other night on our last time out to potty Mrs. B was the one who started barking and I joined in. Mom called us and took us in right away because it was dark and she couldn't see the timber and knew there must be something there for Mrs. B to be the first one to bark. We were good kids and came right away. We hope that everyone has a wonderful and Blessed Easter! Put your best paw forward! Mr. H:)P.S. We have to say a special thank you to Josie for the awesome Easter doggie treats!! We loved them:)

The Golden Boy!

A good nap!

Nanny Janice? Where?

Hi Everyone,

The other day when I was riding with dad the other escort told mom that her "Golden Boy" had better be good or the prison was where he would end up. Mom assured me that I would not end up in prison but she really though he was spot on about me being a golden boy! I got to ride with mom and Mrs. B today! It was rainy and cold and a good day just to ride and nap! I am very good at both. But it is much better when I can play ball too! Can you believe that mom has updated my blog with 3 posts today! She has me in shock:):) I even got to talk to Nanny Janice today and I made her laugh. I was trying to go to sleep and mom said Nanny Janice and up I popped and wanted to know where she was. I can't wait to see her and Gma Mary & Gpa Philip. Abby's mom Angie and my mom talked today about our SBG Family Reunion and they are very excited about it. And mom told me that Abby gets to go to the park where we are having this in 2 weeks and she gets a train ride! I hope that mom will take me on a train ride when we get there! Mom has also told me that I had better be a good boy or she hopes someone will put me in my place but she thinks that I am bigger than everybody else. Right now I am being my sweet, sleeping self. Go out there and put your best paw forward! Mr. H:)

We Had A Little Snow Here This Morning!

Mom was wrong the snow is back:)

Couldn't it be a little deeper?

What are you doing over there?

I'm not done yet mom!

Don't we have time to just sniff around for awhile?

No I'm not coming in yet:)

Mom's favorite wind spinner!

Hi Everyone,

Well it wasn't much and it's not going to last but we had a little snow this morning. Not enough to run my snoot thru though:( We love playing in the snow and mom says it won't be back for months. Oh well if we can go out in the timber and play that's ok too. Yesterday we got to be outside when mom was picking up some sticks that were blown down in the wind when we were gone and she picked up pinecones under the big tree out front. All in all it was a good day and it's been a good morning so far! Hope your are having a great day! Go out there and put your best paw forward! Mr. H:)

Riding With Mom:)

The frog Gma Mary sent home with me:)

We play ball every chance we get!

Carry on mom!

Time for a little nap!

The ball will be right here when I wake up!

I have the ball and you can't have it!

Hi Everyone,

Well we got to ride with mom and dad on our last trip but mom doesn't get pics when I am with dad. Now it works out that I usually ride with dad and Mrs. B rides with mom and it works really well:) It was nice down in Georgia and then we got back to Iowa and it was rainy and cooler again. Mom is ready for spring to get here and stay!! We are getting ready for another trip and mom is trying to get this finished before we go. She had to work on getting her story done for the magazine and now that is done she should be better about my blog but you all know that I have to kick her with a couple of paws to make her move sometimes! Put your best paw forward! Mr. H:)
