HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL OUR FRIENDS

We have so enjoyed this past year of making new friends, sharing the good and the sad times with all of you, and making memories with our fabulous furiends that we will treasure for years to come. We hope that all of you enjoy this wonderful time of the year.

Thanks to Zoolatry.

Life at our house will be very busy for a few days. So if we don't get around to visit you, please know that we are still thinking about you and will be back for more blogfun soon.

Woos and happy holidays, Phantom, Thunder, and Mom

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid and Donder and Blitzen.,
But do you recall
The newest reindeer to call?

It's Phantom and Thunder!!!

Maybe if we just wait here, Santa will remember that we want to help with his sleigh this year.

Getting Ready for Santa

Early this morning, Mom loaded both of us into the minivan.

OK, I am ready - how do you think I fit in this booster seat? Can you please buckle me in, Mom?

I think I will stay right here on the floor so I can get out of the door first.

Usually when we get to ride in the minivan, it is because we are going to the vet or to the groomer. And we typically are not too happy about it. And yes, we are on our way to the groomer. So why do we look so perky and happy today?

Well, there are only three more days until Christmas Eve and we want to be sure we look our best when Jolly Old St. Nick comes down the chimney.

What do you think?

'Twas a few nights before Christmas

. . . . And visions of sugarplums danced in his head.

Wordless Wednesday

Woos,

There's a New Star in Heaven tonight.

It is with great sadness that we are here to tell you about the passing of another wonderful pup.

This is Kyrye. She is one of Khyra's sisters and she turned 15 years old in October.

She had been slowing down, and over the past few days she took a bad turn and let her humans know that she was ready to go.

Khyra and her Mom got to spend some special time with her over the weekend. This morning they said their good-byes.

There have been so many very sad losses of our beloved pets this year. Khyra and her mom Phyll are always there for everyone. They offer selfless and unlimited love and support to all. We hold them dearly in our hearts for the loving care and concern they gave to us when we lost Dakota and for the daily joy of friendship that we share. Now it is time to extend our love, friendship, support, and good thoughts to them. Please do stop by Khyra's Khorner and leave a word of love.

When our Princess crossed the bridge, Khyra gave her a wonderful tribute and included a very special song written in honor of Princess Di. Kyrye shares her birthday with Phyll's sister Di and so we thought that very same song was most fitting today for this Princess Kyrye. We have included the lyrics here, we are sure you all are familiar with the tune. Take a moment tonight, light a candle for Kyrye and all of the other precious ones with her, and watch the skies for that new star tonight.



There's a New Star in Heaven tonight.

Shadows darken and the day is done
And I cannot believe that it's true and you are gone
You were always here beside me
You gave so much as the Queen of Hearts
To those without love
You were their voice when they could not speak
A touch for the dying

And as we say goodbye I can hardly see
For the tears in my eyes
You are shining like a million suns
And there's a new star up in Heaven tonight

I wonder if you ever knew
How much you were loved
And in the darkness of a lonely room
Were you empty inside?
As you fade away it's like a light
Has gone from the world
But I am sure that there is a place
Where it will burn on forever

And as we say goodbye I can hardly see
For the tears in my eyes
You are shining like a million suns
And there's a new star up in Heaven tonight

And there's a new star up in Heaven tonight

Do give your furbabies and humans some hugs and kisses and tell them how much you love them.

Hugs and Woos, Phantom, Thunder, and Kathie
