 Even though we don't get

much of a chance to

comment on our friends blogs,

Allred still wanted

to be sure that I sent

Miss Nellie this message.

 

"I still love ya girl......

Allred"

 OK, now that that is done, here is

how my week went.

 

My Vickie and I met the most wonderful

woman at the hospital this week.  She was

in the ICU and we don't know exactly what

had happened but she was in pretty

bad shape.  She was so sad too

and she was having a really hard

time because she couldn't talk or move.

But when I walked by her

room and looked in, you could just see

her face light up, so My Vickie and I

went in to visit.  She was in a special chair

so I got up on her bed so I could lay

my head next to her hands.  She couldn't

move her hands more than a few inches

because they had restraints on her and

you could tell she was very frustrated and

very scared.

Well, I just cuddled up to her

and laid my head under her hand

so she could feel my soft coat.

 

My Vickie and her spent the next

half hour smiling and laughing

as they made up a new language for

her to speak (well not speak, but

communicate)  By the time

we left, she was feeling happy and

smiling.  It was a very good

experience for My Vickie

as she got a better understanding

of how I feel when I try and tell her

something. 

 

There are lots of different ways

to share your feelings other

than by words.  Humans can

learn a lot from us dogs in that regard.

It is almost time for

school to get out for the

summer.  We only have three

more visits before all the

kids get to have vacation.

I am pretty sure My Vickie will

miss our times with the kids.

I know I will.

It will make summer seem

awfully long, except My Vickie

says that lots of the kids want

to come and take me for walks,

so I think I'll make it. 

 Our Friend Caren Quast sent

us some pictures from her new

house down in New Mexico.

She has the funnest guests come

play.  Like these two Javelina's.

Well we had never heard of Javelina's

before but now we know all about

them and they are cool.

(Nope, they are not wild boars)

The two birds are a quail up in

the top left side and a roufous-sided

Towhee on the bottom right.

Thanks Caren for Sharen.

(he he, I made a rhyme)

 And check out Oak Creek

 I just love water.

 We met up with our friends

on Saturday for our walk

and My Vickie set up a Pre-Test

for the search dog team of

Zoie and Brenda.

(Special thanks to the greatest

victim in the world.  Goose and his

human Michelle)

And Dougal got to go

on a weekend trip to areas

around the Great Salt Lake.

We thought that those of you

 

who are not from Utah might

enjoy seeing some of the variety

of terrain in Utah.

 

Of course you always see my mountains

and my moose and my rivers

and streams.  But if you want

to see another side of Utah,

check out Dougals flicker site

below.  It is amazing the difference.

 And for even more of a different

side of our wonderful state

I pulled up one of Shyla and KB's

post from a camping trip they

took last month.
