(wolfie is helping me type cuz we are excited and are leaving soon and
writing by myself is hard. but i *can* write all by myself)
did you guess?
we got an air mattress. you blow it up. we got it a while ago but we
haven't used it. n slept on it when she was here. we blew it up and put
it by the wood stove and wolfie covered it with a thick fuzzy blanket so
it would be warm and so pup and old cat couldn't poke holes in it. then
we added more blankies and we slept there and it was nice. it was way
better then bed and it wasn't all squooshed like the couch or cold and
wet like the hammock. and pup liked it lots and he was close to us all
night and for a while old cat slept with us too.
we are going to the ocean soon. I like the ocean lots. we haven't gone
in a long time and i'm gonna run on the beach and i can find good
feathers there. wolfie says i can't bring a stuffie cuz our friend is
coming to. that's dumb!!!! wolfie says i can come out and play but only
if herman is there too. that's how we done it before. herman can be like
a grown up but he knows how to play so people just think we are a silly
grown up
oooooo, wolfie just put a small stuffie with our stuff. it's a really
really soft manatee. i get to have a stuffie :) :) :)
i like all you guys. we won't be back for a couple days. bye
wow! sounds great! we'll miss you, but i hope yous have a great time.

wow. have fun. we love the ocean best of all the places in the world.
wish we lived near the ocean. have big big fun. hope the weather is
perfect. bye for a few days.
betsy
we are back. we are very very tired and still sick but we had lots of
fun. Monday BIG storm. winds so hard they blew us. friend and I laughed
and stood and let the wind tug and push and then rain and wind and we
watched from inside. we like beach storms. today blue skies and big waves.
we got tired and grumpy at the end. think maybe friend did too? was
maybe too much for us but we can remember how the ocean looked and
walking on beach and makes us smile. think tomorrow we will be glad we
went. friend was glad she went
we...it... we haven't been back to ocean since old dog died. we already
weren't going much because is a place with foo memories. we made new
memories today
pup is such a goof. his favorite thing was to chase teeny pieces of sea
weed that were blowing down beach. he'd go run run run and POUNCE and do
belly flop on eensy bit of sea weed. then another piece would blow and
he'd go chasing again
pup's anxiety is much better. pup is struggling a lot with ataxia (this
is a link if you want to know:
http://www.canine-epilepsy-guardian-angels.com/ataxia.htm). think he
wore out today and couldn't play much. he was mostly watching. then a
dog came along that was 1 yr pup too and they played but then pup kept
falling and finally mostly layed there. made me sad but pup and friend
made a game out of it. friend would jump over him and them pounce and
then they'd play bite and such.
shay found special rocks for me and C. she says it will help with pup too
we've been cuddling with old cat but now we are going to bed
glad you went and had a good time
think you'll be glad you went too
glad shay found special rocks
sleep well
my rock is in my pocket

did you get pictures???? we are so happy you had good time. you deserved it!
we took a few pictures. not that many. batteries were going dead.
any more big stick pictures??? How about face forward?
(snicker)
did you ever get a chance to see my picture? I don't think i ever did
email it to you.
nah, just pictures of the ocean.

> did you ever get a chance to see my picture? I don't think i ever did

no, email it to us. think we were going to reply to you and that's when
we started having all sorts of problems with outlook and news server and
all that confusing stuff
ok, to what email address?
the email it lists in my header. just take out the "nospam" part
late welcome back. sounds like my kind of weather. the only storms i
don't much like are snowstorms, and they're ok to watch, just don't like
having to go out afterwards.

we like all storms. don't always like the damage and complications but
storms are fun :)

us too, just that the cold storms have to let us stay away from them by
staying inside. triggers if we get too cold.

we think maybe we help another friend. she called us a few days ago and
said she had post partem (still don't know how to spell that)
depression. we were feeling overwhelmed and like couldn't help and bad
friend and all that usual head stuff. remembered other friend who went
through that (is still going through it?) and so we talked to both
friends and asked if it was ok if we shared email addresses and
explained some and they are talking back and forth now. gentle friend
doesn't feel so alone.

yes <sigh>
just reminders. we were cold for so long that when we went back to
tucson, we wore sweatshirts for the entire first summer, even when it
was 110. tolerate cold a little better now, but not too cold.

didn't do much
(someone wants to apologize for being negative)

remember a time in my life when i couldn't have done this for fear
friends would like each other more than me. is significant you did this.
is easy to downplay your role and be negative when you're feeling
stressed and depressed
is a better way to live, i think. hard to take those kinds of risks, but
can't be pleased with the results unless you try.
