It's so great that Gidget did well with the run of the house. I sure hope she does well when she is left out during the conference!
Gosh, Joanne is wonderful. She sure is a Godsend for u. You are right, there will be a very special place in heaven for her.
I know u miss Mike terribly still. It will take time, but it's so dang painful.
How is little Miss Gidget doing now??

I am so sorry abt ur friend who lost her Dobie. How heartbreaking to lose him, and what a shock I am sure. My sincere condolences to ur friend.

Take care jo. Big hugs to u and Gidge

Hugs, Cindy, Tuck and Justice

Hi Cindy...

Everything you've said is 100% right. JoAnne really is a Godsend. I don't know what I would do without her. Between her and all the wonderful people who have supported Mike and me through this entire journey, I can't help but be grateful... more grateful than anyone could possibly imagine.

I'm sure my friend (and possibly you're friend too {wink} ) will receive your condolences, since she reads Mike's blog regularly.

(And by the way, friend, I was going to call you last night, but I knew you had to get up early this morning for work... just wanna let you know I'm thinking about you. Also, I'm going to a conference tonight, so I'll be taping Ghost Whisperer... we'll have to tear it apart sometime this weekend. LOL)

Ok.. back to Cindy for a minute... the weather... I'm with you.. it's ridiculous. 80's and 90's for a couple days, the two days when it feels like it's gonna snow... today it was comfortable temp wise but raining off and on... right now it's beautiful, sunny and 70 degrees.

Give the boys a hug and skritches for me. I'll check on their thread in a bit. I'm praying they're both doing well and on the train.

Love You Bunches

I happened to find the videos of Mike and Gidget on my computer last night. I forgot I even had them. I watched my boy play tug with his sister and running and looking at the camera... his beautiful white, soft hair was shaggy around his face, his big loving eyes looked right at the camera. It was so good to see him again. I cried (of course) but they were tears of love (and missing him), and I am sooooo grateful to have those videos. Now, whenever I'm missing him, I can just double-click on the icon, and he'll be right there for me.

Everyone... you would all be so proud of Miss Gidget... I know I am. I left her loose in the house for 2 1/2 hours this morning... she did GREAT!!! And... you're gonna laugh, but since she is sometimes so unpredictable, I set up a Puppy-Cam. LOL
I turned on my web cam on the computer and set it to record when I left. I was going to aim it at her room (thinking she might go in there while I was gone) but decided to aim it at the couch instead. I am so proud of my little girl. I had it focused on the arm of the couch where she sits to look out the window, she sat there for awhile and then just fell asleep on the couch until she heard the car pull up... then met me at the door!!! I AM SOOOOOOO PROUD OF HER !!!!! She never barked once except for when I was getting in the car, and that was only a couple of yips like "where are you going". She never once got off the couch... glad I put the camera on that instead of her cage. Oh man.. can't tell you how happy that makes me... no exploring, peeing, nothing... and I even left the laundry room door open, thinking if she had to pee she'd do it in there instead of the kitchen and it'd be easier to clean... but she never left the couch so there was nothing to clean. :-D

I'm going to leave her out when I go to the conference tonight. I think she proved herself to me. Of course, six hours is a lot more than two and a half, but I "think" she'll be fine. My little girl is growing up. LOL

Ok.. gotta get going. Thank you all for keeping up with everything that goes on here. You're all such wonderful supportive friends. I'm so blessed to have each and every one of you. God Bless You All.

Love & Blessings
