Hey everyone, it has been such a long time since we said hello.
Holly and Tris are both doing really well though sadly their naughtiness has been severely hampered. Those of you who remember us might recall a tale or two of my renegade doglets and their stealing ways? They used to run circles round their granny and most notably ate their way through a 3 pound box of chocolates (and promptly vomited on the way to see the vet). We have had a pretty tough time over the past year - the beasties are now from a broken home :bandaid:! We weren't alone for too long though as Granny got ill and moved in with us - they ate their way through the little shopping bag on her walking aid and did absolutely nothing to help her up or bring her the phone when she took a tumble, sigh the training goes on..... Well sadly their Granny passed away and we have been adjusting to a very different life. I feel rotten as anything leaving them at home when I go to work but there is noone to look after them during the day now that Granny has gone. We have been working on how to use a cat-flap (Holly insists we call it that just in case she can entice one into the house lol). I was so proud when Tris took to it very quickly, learning to head-butt his way in and out while Holly just waits for me to open it for her. Strangely though when there was a hedgehog in the garden that they were menacing and I brought them indoors, she went crashing right out through the catflap without the slightest bit of bother......hmmmm, I think she might be taking advantage of me - you all know that feeling!
Mr Tris is getting grey and Holly looks as young as ever and both are keeping good and healthy, Tris hasn't had an epileptic fit in months.
I think that is about all for now. I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone's news and meeting new friends.
Love
Gail, Holly and Tristan
Gail - it is great to hear from you !!! I am so sorry that things have changed in your home life - we are here to support you. And I am sorry about your Grammy too - you have had a rough time.
Although they may be naughty (both of mine are !!!) - I am sure the kids bring you comfort each day. Funny about the door !
Take care of you and keep us posted !
Thanks Barb, it's nice to be amongst friends. We are doing well though, a new era in our lives.
Tris is still a real snuggle bunny...but Holly and I cope with the attention lol.
OMG !!! They are as sweet as I remember !
Sorry to hear of your bad year. They guys will be OK, don't let the eyes take you on a guilt trip, at least they have each other. With the flap we have ours tied open as Amy or Emma like it as it aways hit them when they nearly got in, and they have a little fly screen made of Voile curtain.
Keep you chin up. Funny it alwasy seems to be the boys that are the snuggle bunnies.

ps Oliver hear did you say chocalates.......................
Hey Gail!
Wow! Lovely to hear from you. So sorry you've had a rather bad year but it does sound like you are making the most of it.
If you hadn't heard, sadly we lost our Dolly last March. Maddie is doing good, although at ten, she seems to think that she has special Little Old Lady privileges and can be downrgiht pathetic at times. For example, she decided she HATES kibble and only likes canned venison. Does Mommy give in to this tantrum? You betcha. Well, little does she know, we are going to try the kibble one more time. Papa Mark will stop by the vet's to pick up her Bambi formula and guess what? It comes in kibble too. We'll see how it goes...heh heh heh. Oh, and another thing the little stinker is eating up is, since there is only one of her, she gets to just about go EVERYWHERE we go-except for work. Even if Mark is just dropping me off for my weeking bible study class down the street, SHE gets to go. Of course the method to our madness is this....she'd spite pee if we didn't let her come.....and it's kinda fun. Once I'm out of the car, the Madderoo is right in his lap. He's quite adept to driving with a weiner in his lap... :grin:
Anyway, welcome back. Hope to hear more Trissy and Holly stories.

Hi Gail. I'm glad you found your way back here. So sorry to hear of your year of tribulations. Has Holly given up climbing hedges?
I love the snuggle picture!! That is sooo cute!! :grin: Your two sound like my Porky Pie. Boy can he get into some trouble. :crazyeyes: I don't believe I've ever met you before so, its great to meet you. I have a piebald miniature dachshund named Porky Pie he is two and a half. He is a closet kitty-lover and always into some kind of trouble. He lives with me and my husband and our two kittens. (LaVerne and Shirley)
SO great to hear from you Gail!!! I too am very sad to hear your bad news...I'm so sorry. The kids look great though, I hope you will be a regular poster again I've missed the stories of Holly and Tris!
Hi Gail, its good to hear from you. So sorry to hear about your rough year and the loss of your grandma. The doxies look great and, unlike us, they always seem to go with the flow quite well. We lost our Misty girl, the one we rescued through DRNA, earlier this year to a sort of brain aneurysm. She was 6 years old, and we had her since she was 5 months old. She was the sweetest thing and we miss her very much. Willy and Alex are almost 10 and doing great.
I hope you will post here often. Take care.
Hi Gail. Im Carrie and have a 9 month old Red S/H named Sadie. We just joined but I thought what better way to make new friends than to just jump in. Im sorry to hear you had such a rough year. I hope next year brings you nothing but joy and happiness.
Carrie.
Hi Gail, Cheryl from Cincinnati, Ohio here. I have never met you before but it is always nice to make new friends :hello2: I am owned by two smooth red tweenies named Zoe and Winston (they are half brother and sister), one Australian Shepherd mix named Sheba, five cats and a bunny....I too am very sorry to hear of your losses this past year. May the coming year bring you much happiness and joy. Can't wait to hear stories about Holly and Tristin :thumb:
Hi, Gail! It certainly has been a long time! Sorry to hear about this last year. I hope you, Holly and Tristan become regulars again.
Hi Gail! Drew and I are owned by Penny our almost 5 year old red smooth tweenie and we live in San Diego. Glad you are back! :hello2:
