As you may know
Miss Snickers is struggling
Mightily
Along with her family.

(The best place to keep up with updates is her Gussie’s blog.)

Last night looked as if it might have been her last.
This morning she rebounded with improved symptoms.

She is far from out of the woods
But she and her family
Including her gentle and loving brother Butchy
Have been granted another day.

We can’t help but believe
that part of the improvement is because of
The support and love that have surrounded her
From all around the world
Thanks to the linked paws
Of her blogging friends.
The Power of the Paw

We are asking everyone to set your alarms
And at exactly 11:00 PM GMT on Saturday 14 Nov 09
(Go to this link to find what time that is for you)
5:00 PM Saturday evening in Iowa
as Snickers’ family sits down to eat
Turn toward them (in the central USA)
And join together in a silent minute
Of prayer, meditation, contemplation, reflection
Whatever feels right to you.

Followed by whatever means of communication
You choose.

Arrooing
Barking
Howling
Yipping
Yapping
Wooing
Meowing
Mewing
Purring

To wish and send Miss Snickers and her family
whatever is in your hearts
That will help them feel the Love and Support
They need right now.

Personally, we’ll be praying for a Miracle.

Then

Blow a Kiss
and send your Love and Prayers and Best Wishes
to Miss Snickers and her Family
and they will feel their arrival
in the breeze.

OK?
We believe it will help.
And we’ll do anything in our power right now
To help.

Love,
Bogart

Stanley’s mama is an EXCELLENT booty scratcher.  And chin-action giver.  And present chooser.  But I have talents too…

Yes I will allow you to try to teach me about sticks.  I will even play the eager student.

Until you drop it and I place the mighty Paw of Doom upon it.  Then it’s mine.

Catch me if you can!

Oh Miss Lisa, mama and I had SUCH A GOOD TIME with you, and we’re sorry that we couldn’t spend more time together while you were here in Portland.  I hope you know that all of those times I tried to tackle you as well as the times I would grumble meant that I was showing you LOVE and APPRECIATION, even when it may not have seemed that way.

And thanks for all of the chin action and the introduction to the true atomic booty scratch.  Obviously mama has been doin’ it wrong all of this time, and she learned something too.

Give my love to Stanley and Stella!  And of course a little extra somethin’ for Merv.

Love,

Bogart

My pal Robin (one of what dad used to call “the mobsties”) is sick… he has a tumor and may need surgery – he needs some serious Airezen or any-kind-of-Zen-you-can-do!

Mama spilled the beans to me that I am going to get to visit my favorite Dales in LA this summer, and hey, I really wanna see my pal Robin.  Robin is a very, very special boy to his mama Mareike, so I’m asking for your lovin’ to come toward Los Angeles from all of the world!

Love,

Bogart

Ina and Jecke-Jule, two cool Dales in Germany, sent this song that their dad wrote and performed – it’s about Airedales!!! – for Klaus.  I played it for him this morning, it’s so great for him to hear something other than the beeping of all of the machines surrounding him.  Thank you!

Small but mighty, Dr. Dre wanted to explore Portland.  It was freezing cold out today – and as the humans planned to go into some stores and stuff, I had to stay home and “guard the house”.  Ok not my favorite, but oodles better than “guarding the car”…

Chinatown – Old Town Portland – two tough guys posing.

Grrr… by this time it was COLD – enough photos guys!!!

Dr. Dre got serenaded outside of Powell’s Books by a local violin player…

Checked out the pig statues on trendy NW 23rd…

Stopped for a bagel at Kettelman’s – notice how my dad carried his table number.  Because real men don’t carry plastic table numbers, apparently.

Then time for some shopping in Urban Outfitters…

All of this excitement makes Dre a tired boy.

One last stop at the Dapper Cap – yes, this is a tiny hat, not exactly Dre-size but close.  I really think these could be a full spread in Dogue:

Now how badass is Dre here?

Just hangin’ out…

Ah, finally back home after a quick stop at the Lucky Lab and the Hawthorne Fish House.  It’s good to be home…

I’m gonna miss ya Dre – can’t wait to see you again my friend!

Love,

Bogart
