SHELBY UPDATE, THE PITTIE PACK AND ME

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

(Same flower as before but in full bloom)



"Love comes to those who still hope even though they've been disappointed, to those that still believe even though they've been betrayed, to those that still love even though they've been hurt before"



Dearest friends,



Mommy asked a question on our last post. "What movie did Mommy pick Shelby's name from?" 3, actually 4, of our DWB friends guessed correctly....Steel Magnolias.
Cole, Maggie & Mitch & Maggie Mae!

Maggie Mae gave her reason and it was exactly the same reason Mommy picked it.


Because Shelby is as strong and beautiful, as the movie character she was named after. She has a lot of people, pups, kitties and a good doctor behind her and in time she will be gorgeous, just like the flower above, that we have followed since it was just a bunch of berries and now is in full bloom.


Yesterday Mommy went to see Shelby for the first time since her doctor's appointment. She cried, nothing unusual for my My Mommy, but they were tears of joy.


Mommy here........ Shelby looked so much better and even had a smile on her face. She still has lots of scraps and sores but looks like a different dog. This Saturday Sandra and I will be taking her back to Dr Briles. Like he said before, he will retest her for mange and then decide what happens next. The removal of her eye? The spay? The start of heart worm treatment? Blood work? Who knows but whatever has to be done will be done. I am in the process off setting up a Pay Pal account for "The Shelby Fund" and I will let the blogging community when itm is up. I know that the Power of the Paw is just as important as the money, so please keep the prayers coming........it worked for Mona and it will for Shelby, I'm sure.







Looking good Shelby!! Look at that shining smile and
the extra weight!!

Mona here......Mommy has always believed there are guardian angels among us. These are just a few from her angel collection, so I asked Mommy if they were the ones praying to make Shelby whole again. She said no. It was all our 4 legged friends, their pawrents and GOD who named the DOG, dog which is God spelled backwards, so you see he has gotta be on Shelby's side. Today's quote of the day was chosen for a special reason. I bet you can all guess why.

OK....now that you've seen our girl on to me and the pitties and wee ones.

First off let me say that, I have been a good girl and even though I didn't get to go yesterday to see my Tiger, I understand why. Even the Pittie Pack can't be around her, so she gets to go outside while everybody else stays inside. So when Mommy got home yesterday she gave this tiny little fish to play with. "It's not the size that counts, it's the thought."



"It's mine....come to me Mr Google Eyes....I promise not to eat you!!"




Told ya I wouldn't hurt him. "Wanna take a nap Mr Google Eyes?"


Mommy also took pictures of the pitties and the wee ones. Of course My Tiger had to be first. Mommy took lots of pictures of every doggie but lots and lots of My Tiger. I wanted her to post all of My Tiger's pictures but she said it would take hours so she is only posting 3 of each doggie. That's OK, I guess. I'll just go to his picture folder on my computer and feast my eyes on my man.

Tiger





Princess Lucky



(here with her Grandma)

Coco Chanel, Queen of all the Furry Universe.

(please excuse the Doofuss, she accidently removed one of Coco's pictures and don't know how to put it back right here.



Guero, the Model


Brinksey Winksy Puddin Pie, Chief & Commander of the PTO Society.




And Sweet, Sweet Bella


Help needed....Does anybody know a Tucker who is Bella's boyfriend? I haven't met any Tuckers, and Mommy promised Bella she would send her pictures to her true love, like she did for everybody elses. If you do please tell him Mommy has something special for him and for him to send us an e-mail address.

Here a just a few random shots.






Hope you enjoyed seeing all our friends again & how wonderful Shelby looks.

Love, kisses {{{huggies}}} to all......Mona
God Bless, you all.........the Mommy Sarah

Tucker said...

Ohh I am so happy to see pictures of the whole pittie pack! Especially my Bella who I have missed. I can't wait for the puter to get all fixed so that I can see more! Shelby is a great name - it's the same name my Turtle sister has. Although she isn't nearly as strong as Pittie Shelby, she just has a shell.....

my email is tuckergreatdaneATgmailDOTcom, could you please send me the Pittie Packs address? I have their old one but not their new home.

woof - Tucker

Mack said...

Shelby looks like a whole new doggie!!
We are soooo glad to see her smiling!! teehee!
And mom says she can't wait until the Paypal thingy is set up so she can help with Miss Shelby!
Mona's Mommy: you and Miss Sandra are miracle workers! And I can just tell from Shelby's eyes she believes it too!
Mom says she also can't wait for cooler weather so you and the Pittie Pack (and maybe Shelby!!!?)
can all get together at the park! WoOT!

Sugars,
Mack

Mona dearest... Sorry we have not visited in a while. The mom has been pretty busy at work, and she'll continue to be busy until the last week of July. :(

Shelby is a lovely name, and totally suited for well, Shelby!! Hope that all goes well with sweet Shelby.. **Paws Crossed**

Oh and guess what, our mom has an angel collection too! Just like your mom! Isn't that a coincidence!! Yes, our mom believes in Angels too... especially the 2 special ones in Heaven.

How's Mr Goggle Eyes doing? Hope he's not 'sploded?? Heehee...

Sending you and your mommy (plus Shelby too) loads of love...
