National Stuffie Appreciation Day!

Hello to all our furry and not-so-furry friends! Mr. T-Bone Beasley has declared today as National Stuffie Appreciation Day! In honor of this most auspicious occasion, I present to you one of only about 2 stuffies, in our possession, that still has his eyes. It's Clifford the big red dog! We salute Clifford for being able to keep his eyes intact for over two weeks!

Here, we have Mr. Zebra. He hasn't been as fortunate as Clifford...he is blind as a bat! I, Poppy de-eyed him a long time ago. He has a small amount of stuffing oozing out of one eye socket, but it isn't bad enough for Mom to send him to the bridge. I'm pretty sure that will change soon!

This is me with my trusty white (or NOT so white) Mr. Bear. He has been just as unfortunate as Mr. Zebra...he can't see a thing! That's okay though, I still love him! He comforts me when Mom and Dad go away and leave us alone like they did yesterday. We really LOVE all our stuffies and appreciate them greatly. Some a little more than others! My favorite of all time is my soccer ball, but Mom hasn't been able to get a picture of me with it. I like to suck on it and make all sorts of weird Aire-noises...especially right when Mom comes home from work.

This doesn't have anything to do with NSAD, but we wanted to show you a rare picture of us, together in our back yard. Dad took this picture when Mom was outside and Penny never suspected he had the camera!
This is what Mom was doing outside, after they came home from the peeple vet. She was digging some really big tree roots out of our yard. Dad keeps running over them with the mower so Mom decided they had to go. Since we have had a drought for sooooo long, a lot of the roots are coming to the top of the ground and dulling the mower blades. Mom has made a pretty good dent in the over-abundance of them, but there are still like a gazillion more!

Our dad's surgery went well, but he is in a LOT of pain, today. The doctor used a 7 inch long needle to put the electrode into his spinal column and now, Dad can't lean back against a chair. He can't believe that a "pain clinic" would inflict so much pain! So far, he says the neuro-stimulator isn't doing much to relieve the pain in his legs, but we are hoping that will change!

Aire-hugs,

Poppy & Penny
