Dear I-dog.....

You talk lots?  I don't.....only at the kids next door when they throw their ball at the fence.  But my mom tries to get me to talk to her....Sydney will but I just sit there and make her try to get me to talk.  It's funny to see what she will do....she tries to talk doggy to me and I have to try to keep from laughing....my mommy is goofy.  Does your mommy talk doggy to you?

My Grandma and Grandpa are great!  They LOVE big dogs...dad says little dogs are for lunch, then he gives Sydney head-nuggie...he's funny, they would like you!!!!    They love us lots....Grandpa said that if mom and dad couldn't have gotten us through the jail in the hawaii place that we could have come and lived with them until mom and dad got back.  Then I would have gotten to go camping all the time...and seen my cousins.....Gili, Madison, Pepper, Roscoe and the rest of the crew....but we get to stay with mom and dad....That's good, cuz I would have been sad to leave my mom...I know just how to get her to do what I want!!!
 
Love Nigel

yeah,  I talk a whole lot and mommy gets 'noyed at me for it.  Mommy sezs I gots a high pitched girl talk (humpff!!) and that I use it way, way too much, but I do it to get tention and the more she 'nores me the more I talk.
 
if you can't see everbuddy right now, maybee your grandparents would like to borrow me??  They can come get me for a vacation any time...especially before we MOVE again.  I JUST got this yard the way I wanted it and now I gots to move again.....gee, people!

My mom's disease is something else, but the doctor thinks her medication is slowing it down and she's not getting bad headaches every day anymore, just a couple days a week. When she gets a headache I lay down by her and put my paw on her arm and she sleeps better.

My little sister talks talks talks all the time too. It drives me nuts and she screams like a banshee and mom always thinks I'm doing something to her! She screams and then runs to my mom and I didn't do nuffin! Mom's catching on to her though since she started growling and snarling at me too. She's been sick and hasn't played with me a lot, and she has to take the same medicine as my mom.

I love to go to my grandma's house! She lets us all play in her yard and my cousin Rufus and Kenzie are there! I love them guys! My uncle's girlfriend has a fat basset hound that goes there too, but we haven't met yet.

My mom is very excited about moving. She says this time we are going to get a better house and something about a basement rec room for me and Gracie when we get on her nerves, and so our big crates aren't in the middle of the office no more. We will move sometime after April when this house is sold. We get to stay here while mom finds something new though. She says it's a whole new start for us, but I don't care where we are as long as I get to be with mom and Gracie and the cats.

Mom sez we are driving her crazy.  That's silly cuz none of us knows how to drive.  She sez she can't move cuz someone is always up her butt, only we're just TRYING to help her sort an organize and pack stuff up.  She NEEDS our help, right?
 
Daddy is gonna look at THREE houses today and then mom is gonna look on Saturday too.  I guess daddy gets to what mom calls pre-screen all the houses so mommy doesn't waste her time.  Mommy doesn't go down there very often cuz daddy has our van....but when she DOES go, it means we're stuck with our furless brudder and he's not much fun.  He gets MAD at me for talking so much and then he puts me outside to play....big punishment....I LIKE being outside!
 
I really like the sound of the house on 5 acres....that's MORE than we've gots now!!
 
Love, Shadow

You guys are moving too?  We are too....but my mom doesn't know where we will will live.  She says that she has to go look for a place, but in the meantime we get to go live with grandma and grandpa for a couple of weeks this summer....YEAHHHH!!!!!!  I can't wait, I'll show Sydney all the cow pies to roll in and the good water that is in the pond to swim in!!!  Yeahhh.....Shadow, you and Boss coming with us? 
 
There is lots of cool stuff up camping, we have heard these other dogs up there, ...but they didn't sound like me....they sounded like they were yodeling.....Mom said that I didn't want to go play with them....so I just sat and listened to them right next to mom.  Do you guys know who those other dogs were?  Have you gotten to meet them?  Mom was pretty serious about it....so she must be right. There are even these things with reaaally loooong legs that have antlers and run really fast come into camp at night sometimes, in the morning you get woken up by these other things that I haven't seen yet but if I get to I'm gonna tell them not to wake us up sooooo early, they bugle, my mom calls them elk, but I don't know what that is, do you guys?  I can't wait for this summer....it'll be fun, you guys can come with us....G'ma and G'pa won't mind!

Yodeling dogs?? That sounds like US!!!  We make mom crazy when all 6 of us start to yodel in the mornings!!
 
We don't know sactly where we're gonna live either...just the area mom sez.  BUT mom sez it HAS to be in the country.  The country is GOOD!!
 
Love, Shadow

Yup...yodeling dogs....mom call's 'em coyotes or suptin like that....Mom says that we are going to probably move to a smaller house, something about the houses being expensive in the new place.....but she did tell me that there was water there that I could play in....lots of it she said.
 
I love the country Shadow....I want to live there one day too......

Shadow, you are gonna have a lot of fun with all that room to run around and play! My mom wants to move out in the country, but says we have to stick close to the city since it's hard for her to drive at night. Plus we're gonna move a little closer to my grandma so her and my uncle can help her. Then I can play with Rufus and Kenzie more!
 
Mom says we're gonna get a new car too, a van. I love my uncle Mat's van, there's more room in there and I like being higher up.
 
Mom's starting to throw some of my old toys away! She says I don't play with them anymore, but now that I saw them I want them back!
 
Okay, have a good day! I have to go tease Gracie cuz' she looks so silly with floppy ears now! Hee hee
 
Boss
 

Mom sez we still have to have our fenced place for going potty and stuff....just like here.  Mom sez that just cuz we live in the country we don't get to run free, darn it.  I kinda understand here cuz the road has LOTS of cars going really fast and mom sez we run too fast even if the road isn't really close.
 
Maybe when we get all moved and settled you and your momma and sister could come see us?  Mom and dad have that RV thingee....the house on wheels where you guys could stay so you could have your own space.  Mom sez that we've already chewed and eaten and furred it up so much that whats a little more.  But mom keeps cleaning up our fur......so it's pretty clean right now.  But, we'll get to work on it more when moving day comes!!

Love, Shadow
