Whew! Did Easter exhaust you as much as it did me? Well, we were pretty busy around here and while it was all FUN and the Bunny brought treats, my parents were on the go and I didn’t get a lot of time with them. I’m glad it’s Monday. Time for some catching up.
First I have a few pix from my Mom’s trip to visit her sister – my Auntie Carol – last week and I wanted to show you my Cousins……Shih Tsus Mollye, and Toby. Mollye only has one eye because when my Aunt rescued her, she’d been a puppy mill Mommy all her life and had no vet care…..she had glaucoma very bad in one eye and also never had dental care so Aunt Carol had her work cut out for her but Mollye is one great big sweetie love bug. She has problems ambulating because she was kept in a cage all her life just having puppies so her little legs had quite an adjustment to make when she could run and walk like a normal pup! Anyway, she’s doing just fine………and her big brother Toby takes good care of his sister! They are great friends and very close.
Then of course we had Easter! This is me and my Easter basket the Bunny very kindly brought to me. I know many of you wanted to know how my Dad did with the big Easter Bunny egg hunt………well, he found ALL the eggs thanks to my help and a bit of help from Mom. Mom and I hid the eggs in the basement before Dad got up and I helped Mom pick some GREAT spots……it took my Dad about 45 minutes to find 11 eggs!! HAHAHA
So I hope your Easter was a goodie? If you don’t celebrate Easter I hope you had a fabulous weekend anyway……………………don’t you DARE forget that tomorrow is Tuesday Teaser!! You don’t want to forget that now do you? The other thing about tomorrow is that I am going to be a guest on my good buddy and Cousin (haha) Bacon the pig’s blog tomorrow. You know his regular column “Dear Bacon” where he gives advice to animals who have problems of all kinds??? Well, I’m doing a guest spot for him tomorrow. Five distraught animals have sent letters to Cousin Bacon and I’m stepping in to answer their questions or solve their problems for them tomorrow! Make sure and visit Bacon’s blog Tuesday to see how I’ve tried to help these five poor lost souls find their way………………… 😉
Guess that’s about it for me for a Monday………………..see you tomorrow??? The Teaser will be waiting for you………..and you know you don’t want to miss that!!
Whee had a very nice wheekend, thank you, and it certainly looks like you did too. Whee will most definitely be checking in for the Teaser tomorrow!

Hi Miss Layla……Mollye was such a sad little girl when my Aunt got her…she didn’t move, could barely walk, and would gather all the “little things” she could into her bed like they were her puppies to take care of them (toys, etc.) because that’s all she knew how to do. My Aunt worked with her for a very long time to reassure her and get her out of her shell and she’s absolutely the most delightful and happy little dog EVER. Sadly more puppy mill dogs have no happy ending like Mollye.
