HI THERE~~I'M MISS SOPHIE'S GREAT AUNT STELLA......................





UMMMM......please notice the wonderful cameo of my darling niece around my neck...oh my~~ oh my goodness.....I digress in my story.  Anyway....the reason for this little missive is due to a recent exasperating note I have received, as of late,  from Miss Sophie 

You all remember her don't you....that wonderful Cavalier King Charles who had the PERFECT life.....until Little Mister..aka...Skyler came on the scene.

She writes and I quote...

"Oh Auntie.....I had the perfect life of a 10 year old spaniel....

Endless pampering

People food on very, very many occasions

Always got my own small bowl of rice when we ordered Chinese food

Slept in the big bed with my humans..and I might add...had it all to myself

Was coddled, caressed and loved totally and singularly for the first ten years of my life

Never had to share my humans OR ANYTHING ELSE FOR THAT MATTER with anyone else

AND THEN HE CAME

Little Mister, Skyler.....


Now.... people food treats are almost unheard of

No more rice of my own when we order Chinese

Have to share the bed with HIM and my humans..and.....HE gets the pillow

Have to share pampering time with the new kid in town

And to top it all off.....my humans put me on a DIET....although I do look pretty snazzy having lost five pounds...

Oh Auntie, I need your advice.....how will I get through this puppy stage with little Mister......without having to see the doggie therapist???  You have always given such wise advice......

ANY SUGGESTIONS DEAR FRIENDS...

Hugs,

Jo

    I love it. So adorable. Oh that puppy stage is fantastic. Nothing like watching a little puppy or kitten playing.

    Okay- I came back and finished reading..got another phone call and almost forgot to leave a comment.

    Poor, poor Miss Sophie- being upstaged by an upstart.lol- Aren't they funny together though?

    I am glad they are both doing well. Five pounds is a LOT for a dog that size to lose. Good for her. My SweetCheeks would notice right away! xo Diana

    LOL....how freaking adorable is this! LOL....soooooo nice from other decor blogs I might add mischievously!
    But to help poor little Sophie!> seems boyz always seem to hog things a bit dont they?.....*scratching my head* (getting into dog mode, ya know lol) May I suggest then, that some attentions be given back to Miss Sophie as they were before to make her very very happy??
    especially her own bowl of rice? that may help her feel as before?

    This is just lovely! I think Miss Sohpie needs some special treats of her own so that she still feels special. Perhaps the ood walk without the puppy. I am having similiar problems with Alfie (my cocker spaniel) at the moment whho is terrified to two 8 week old kittens! xxx

    Hello Jo:
    We are sure that you will take your parenting duties to heart and ensure that both the senior and junior members of the family get equal attention. Otherwise, we can see that there will be tears before bedtime all round!

    Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are such adorable dogs!

    Oh Miss Sophie- I know just how you feel! I have a not-so-little interloper Scully in my life. I would suggest you ask for a "date
    night", noone else allowed. I'm trying this w/my Mom with mixed results so good luck.
    So glad Nana Diana sent me-now I don't feel so alone. I will follow you sister.

    So much joy shared here! Loved this tribute. We have an interloper in our life too and it is taking a while for the girls to adjust to him being here. Patience is key. Love and hugs to you sweet Jo, xoxo

    It is always tough on the older dogs when we bring new pups into our homes. Losing 5 pounds is quite a bit! It is difficult to get weight off of dogs.

    Dearest Sophie,
    I know that sometimes the young pup Skylar can test your patience, but I can assure you that your human parents do love and cherish you very much. Perhaps if you try to get along with Skylar they will take you out for a special outing and maybe there will even be treats or a new toy involved. ;) Good luck dear.

    xo

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right after the war...when I was quite young.  Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
