Yesterday I went to Dr. Wendy's Vet Hospital.  I love Dr. Wendy...well, I did until yesterday.  It was a VERY SPECIAL DAY because it was the day that Dr. Wendy examined me from nose to tale...errr, um, tail.  

I am very long.  And I weigh 109 pounds.  I lost 2 pounds because Nana took my food away so that Dr. Wendy could do tests on me.  I was there ALL DAY with the cats.  I thought I was going to die.

But I was brave and did my job (except the pee part because I don't like people watching me so...well, Nana said we don't have to talk about THAT).  Now Dr. Wendy will send all my information to the Golden Retriever Study.

They are very smart, these studiers of Goldens, and already they have found new ways to treat cancer.

Yeah for me!  Yeah for them!  Please remember to tell all the Golden Retrievers you know to sign up. 

Thank you.

Spring is here and that means...Toddie gets a haircut!  Haha Toddie

We were all surprised because we have never seen Todd's ears before.  They are triangles.  I know this because I am learning my shapes.

Todd believes that cameras steal his soul so he was completely upset when we got his pictures.  The sad part is that we were able to sneak up on him because Todd can't see much anymore.  His eyes are creamy blue now - beautiful - but he can't see out of them.

The best part is that we can still see him because we love him.  We take good care of him.  I always go through the door first so that when my tail wipes his face, he knows that he can come in.  I taste his food for him because I want to make sure that Nana is not poisoning him with vegetables.  I let him drink from my bowl because it is bigger and he can tell where it is.  And I tell him,

"Don't fall in Todd!" because he doesn't like to get wet.  He gets to sleep with Nana because she has a Todd-size bed and he won't fall off.  We tuck pillows around him and we know that will all STOP when Grandpa gets home.

Maybe. 

You might have noticed that the weather is a bit off.  Hot, then cold. Snow where there should not be snow, no snow where there should be.

Great Nana says that when Nana drives there should be NO SNOW.  She is The Law so boyoboy were we surprised!

 

Great Nana has lost her meterological power and we are all undone!  Nana was driving and Great Nana couldn't or didn't stop the snow.

 

This is proof that the balance of the power for good is shifting away from Canada. Soon we will get no oil.

 

You have no idea how this is all connected but a word to the wise, don't annoy Great Nana. And don't tell the Feds.

Nana went for the hill and through the woods...

Back to Nana's house...
Back to Grandpa's house...

BACK TO BAILEY'S HOUSE!!!! SHE CAME BACK TO ME!!! 

Utah is very pretty and very exciting because of the angel that fell out of the sky, but Nana is home!
home.  We are so glad Nana is home.  Now I can sleep up on the bed again. I thought my back was going to kill me.

there is only one small problem...she has a Look about her.  You know, "The Look".  I don't know what but I hope it has nothing to do with me...I bet it is me.  I hope it is Grandpa.  But its me, isn't it???  ITs me!!!!! 
Do you know what I did?  Do you think I am in for it?  I don't know what I did...did I do something...I am a mess!!! Its me!!!!!  I need a shrink.

GRRAANNNDDPPPAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! I think we have a problem.  HELLLLPPPP

Hi!  It is a beautiful day in my neighborhood, a beautiful day in the neighborhood, would you be mine, would you be mine?

Do you see him?  My new friend, my new neighbor? Except that Nana won't let me bring him home.  He came right out of the water, like the Loch Ness Monster, except for the monster part...and the Ness part, but the Loch is Gaelic for Lake so I am one third right.

And yes, Miss Jan, that IS me pulling on the collar.  My bad. LOL


NOW! Check this out!

That song is really a Valentine song and while I was sleeping, Nana and Grandpa changed into DUCKS!  DUCKS! I love DUCKS!
See! Nana is following Grandpa. That is so nice.  Grandpa gets to be the Leader. 

Oh!  Oh OH!  RUN GRANDPA!!! Run! Its a trick! GRAB YOUR WALLET!!!!

Poor Grandpa.  If you had only gotten into the water.  She can't swim you know.

So you would NOT believe this...I hardly do myself because I was not there and Nana does tell stories...but would you LOOOOK at this!

Nana said that these two mallards are best brothers and they cause problems with traffic because everyone stops to let them cross the street. Then this puppy comes a-barreling out of the house and skids to a stop in front of the ducks and barks at them to "Get off the street! You silly ducks!"

THEN the puppy barks at Nana who is on the street (in car, taking pictures again) but who has a perfect right to be ON the street.  Because she OWNS the street.

Yes she does.  Because she told me so.

Nana calls everyday when she is on the road.  She misses me very much. I bet she has started to wear black again because she misses me sooooo much.  She only wears black when she is away from me.  It might have something to do with my hair color but I doubt it.  She misses me, I just know it.

So she sent these pictures.  If you have not been to Arizona, you should come!

AS you can see, Nana was driving when she took this picture...which is a very naughty thing to do.  Unless she lets me take over the wheel.  Which I can do.  Because I have a license.

Nana likes Monument Valley. I do too because sometimes you get to see sheep there.

Nana is now on the phone.  She says she did NOT drive and take pictures.  That I am telling whoppers.  Not true Nana.  Not true.

This is a Big Mitten.  It was in Nana's way so she drove around it.

Do you see the halo?  Nana said that it was a sign that Heaven was sending an angel.  They did! And Nana caught him!  'Way to go Nana!!

Nana says that Heavenly Father created these places so that when He got tired of watching us be mean to each other, He can rest His eyes on something beautiful.  I am trying to be kind so Heavenly Father can watch me.

Nana went off again and left me...

She went to the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show and I had to stay home.  BUT she told me that she saw dogs everywhere and if they were Goldens like me she scared their owners and told them about the Morris Foundation Study.

Grandpa just shook his head.  Oh Nana.  Filters! Nana, you gots no filters!
