Going for a Walk!

Here we are going for a walk. You can see Dragon Hawke, the Papillion, on the left and Gabriel, the Chinese Crested Puff on the right, and, if you look real hard, there I am again, in the middle. We were not moving along, so I was looking backward to see where My Lady was. This time, Gentle Sir was with her so they had stopped to look at something. I knew things were different. They just mosey along when they are together walking us. When My Lady is alone, she just moves right along, and we walk like she did when she lived in Germany, many years ago. They called it a "volk's march," or something like that. She is all business, but when they walk together, it is more of a stroll. I like that, especially since I am so small and my legs are short. I really have to run most of the time while the other two just meander along. Well, this will be a nice stroll today. Looking forward to it. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

A Difference!

Notice the difference: I am a little spot on the pillow on the big chair, snuggled into the pillows, and Dragon Hawke, the Papillion, is on top of the back of the chair as high as he can get. He loves to be on top of everything. I look like a little gray spot and sometimes even snuggle under the pillow a bit if I am chilly. Of course, if possible, I would rather be sitting on My Lady's lap. Dragon Hawke, however, would prefer to sit on her shoulder. He is so funny. Hard to believe this is the beginning of August already. Whee! Gentle Sir will be home all day tomorrow and Sunday. Gabriel will be especially happy about that. Have a nice weekend. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Good Carrots!

Glad My Lady is feeling better, and I am back on my routine again. I have had my big meal of dry food, and when I am finished eating it, I go to see My Lady who will give me a little carrot. They are small, but so am I. I usually get three carrots, one at a time and must finish one before I get the next one. Gosh, they are sure good--just good fresh, crispy carrots. No wonder I have such a shiny coat and sparkling eyes! Dragon Hawke seems fine today, but still is pouting over losing what he thought was a providential meal. Sometimes what we think is just terrific can turn out to be very bad for us. Glad My Lady knows which is which. She says that the Lord provides and watches over us. If she says so, it is true. I am glad the Lord got me into her care though. I am sure blessed. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

An Awful Problem!

A dreadful thing happened to my dear "brother" Dragon Hawke, the Papillion. My Lady was a little better, and we went for a walk. Suddenly, Dragon Hawke stopped and grabbed a bite of something on the side of the road in front of our apartment. My Lady quickly realized something was awfully wrong and grabbed Dragon Hawke, put her fingers into the dogs gagging mouth, and started to pull pieces of chicken bones out of her mouth. Someone driving by had tossed pieces of old chicken out as trash on the road, and the dear dog, thinking it was something great, gobbled it up. My Lady, with us other dogs pulling at our leashes, not realizing how serious this was, kept getting the bones out of Dragon Hawke's mouth and throat, shaking all the while. Some of the bones were two inches long, dry and brittle, and could have caused great trouble if they had gone into the intestines. At least, a vet bill would have been very expensive and most likely surgery would have been essential to save the dog's life. Still he may have died. All this could have happened because some unthinking person had tossed this piece of old chicken leftovers out where a dog could get it so easily. This is an area where many have dogs they love. Thankfully, My Lady is quick and reacted so well that she got all of the garbage out, I hope. Of course, now Dragon Hawke looks at her with disdain because she prevented him from a tasty tidbit, at least this is what he thinks. He doesn't know what a perilous spot he had been in with all that stuff in his mouth. Please, be careful with the stuff you toss out and allow some innocent pet to find. Throw it in a secure trash bin, and save a darling dog's life. I shudder to think that I may have lost this darling dog and friend. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Here We Are in Bed Alone!

Here we dogs are in the big bed alone. I am happy to say that My Lady is taking a shower and is able to be up and around a bit. She won't be lifting things or scrubbing, but her back is somewhat better, and she does not have to stay in bed. You can hardly see me on the big bed because I am so small, and we are in the midst of all the roses. If you look hard, in the midst of all the flowers, you can see Gabriel and Dragon Hawke, too. My Lady loves roses and has silk ones in pretty vases, pink ones here on the bed spread, small rosy ones embroidered in the sofa and chair upholstery, and even big red ones on the shower curtain. She loves the fragrance of roses and has perfume that smells just like the rose garden Great Lady used to have at her old house. She no longer has real ones because the roses do not like to grow well in the hot, humid weather in Florida, where she and Great Sir live now. Great Lady decided to get silk roses, too, that are easier than growing real ones. They sure don't smell as good though. I am so happy My Lady is doing better. I am taking very good care of her and know she will be just fine soon. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Visiting My Lady in Bed!

Here I am on my little stairway to get on the bed where My Lady is lying on a heating pad. She worked so hard on Friday, cleaning the carpets and fixing the rugs in the kitchen that the next day, when she was bending over the dishwasher to put the clean plates in the cabinet, wham! Out went her back. Ugh! She was in pain and was hardly able to move for a bit. She finally was able to get on the heating pad and then laid on the bed to relax, and I am happy to say that she is doing better. When she overdoes, she can get this back spasm which hurts, but it makes her take it slow and usually then she gets better. Of course, moving into a new place is always tough, and, as you know, we are in our new apartment for just a couple of weeks. Nevertheless, she is always so eager to work hard and get everything done at once that this happens every once in a while. She will take it slow now for a while, and Gabriel, Dragon Hawke, and I will be very good and help her feel better. She always relaxes more when I lie next to her, and she can pet my fur. Then, she automatically seems better. I will take good care of her. Hope I can give a better report tomorrow. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Here Is Dragon Hawke on the Carpet!

As I promised yesterday, here is a picture of Dragon Hawke on the fancy new carpet runners in the kitchen. Oh, I see, a bit of me is included, too. He was not pleased to see Gabriel and me with out him yesterday, so I had to get his in today. We had a bad storm. Couldn't even get outside for a while and then the electricity was off for a long, long time. My Lady wasn't happy about that, but we are all fine and even had our nice walk later. My letter to you is late tonight because of this odd day, and it is time for me to go to bed. I will write more tomorrow. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.
