MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Yes, Merry Christmas dear blogging friends. We've had computer problems...had a new hard drive installed. I can now load pictures from my iPhone to the computer. Yay! I'm on my way back into the world of blogging!


 Just wouldn't be right to let Christmas pass and not post the old cupboard, and a picture of our same little old Christmas tree...


and maybe tell you how happy we are to have both Eli and Ellie with us for Christmas...


Just a few weeks ago, Eli became very sick. An ultrasound showed a large fluid filled mass touching his right kidney. He stayed 2 nights in the hospital. The doctor drained the mass and no cancer cells were found. He was also treated for Gastroenteritis. 

Eli will be 10 years next month!

You may remember it was just last March that we almost lost our sweet Ellie to Addison's Disease...

We're so glad both are well and gaining weight again....Eating us out of house and home, I should say. 

Thank you for coming back to visit. I'm far behind but will be around to read and catch up with you all. 

MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS
AND 
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Love, Henny

PS:  Smokey is well too and sends his love. :)

  4. Well, I'm so happy to learn that Eli has recovered, and Ellie is well. Our pets mean the world to us, and we try our best to take the best care of them. It always amazes me to see how white and beautiful your pups are, it takes a lot of work I'm sure.
    Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, dear friend, not forgetting sweet Smokey of course.
    Hugs,

  8. Precious says it is a good thing you did not forget about handsome Smokey! But we are glad you have Eli and Miss Ellie doing well at the moment. I am sure Eli's problem took your breath away for a bit. Hope this is not something that will reoccur any time soon. And you and Poppy are fine? Did you do some Christmas Craft shows? And with your sister?
    You do have lots to keep us up on after the holiday and you get in tune with the phone and the computer. Good luck
    with all that. Very Merry Christmas to you and all your family. Hope you are in for some family party time together. Lynn and Precious

  9. You've been missed around these parts, Henny; glad to know your computer is back up and running!
    Your dogs are gorgeous, and I'm so happy to know that in spite of recent illnesses, both are doing well again. It's so scary when a pet gets sick like that. They are part of our family.
    May you have a marvelous Christmas, my friend!

  20. It's good to hear from you again. We rely so much on our computers that it seems we can't function without them any more - even if we don't have a commitment like a blog. My mornings are spent with my coffee and computer. Eli and Ellie have both had rough years. I hope they continue to do well now. Sick pets are devastating. Wishing you and Poppy a very merry Christmas and happy new year.

    1. I made myself a snowball,
      As perfect as could be,
      I thought I’d keep it as a pet,
      And let it sleep with me.
      I made it some pyjamas,
      And a pillow for its head,
      Then last night it ran away,
      But first - it wet the bed! :).
