Until We Meet Again

Its very hard for me to paw this post. It is snowing today, and I should be happy, but I think of the snow as the earth's frosty tears at the passing of a cherished HULA Member, and wonderful pup, Dusty Doodles.

He packed so much life into his short time here, teaching his humans love, compassion, friendship, how to stop and smell the puppies (and the stinky cats), and live for the now, instead of planning for what might never come.

We all have the mission to teach the humans that the only thing that matters is now. There's no need to regret the past, there's no reason to plan the future as its all out of their hands. Dusty was a fine ambassador of the now, living his life to the fullest, and teaching his humans that the now is precious and should be embraced.

Thank you Dusty for your wonderful life and your knowledge. We laughed, we learned, and now we live in the now... until we meet again across the Rainbow Bridge.

Catching Up

So much to blog about, so little time with the computer (thanks to Spineless Bionic Hip Knee pup Sam's recovery time).

Things should be getting back to somewhat normal very soon, as I heard the humans discussing that Sam's recovery should be ending Monday, at which time he'll be introduced back to the pack, to run up and down the stairs and play outside with us again, and we'll be graced with a whole new downstairs fun room to play in once the human woman convinces the human man that Ikea furniture needs to go down there and not photography stuff. We can hardly wait.

Despite my royal edict, we had some losses recently, and for that I am very sad. As your Queen I wish I had the power to keep all of you safe and sound and healthy, and spoiled by your humans, but unfortunately the power of the fluffy is not strong enough for the pull of the Rainbow Bridge. We all know that our jobs on earth are not over once we cross, and we're called upon to comfort those who are still waiting to be reunited with their loved ones. It is with great honor that I call to Snickers and Doodles to comfort those that have passed before you until their loved ones can be reunited, and to comfort Darrell "Stone Cold" Canter, a good man who helped others through the charitable organization "Nam Knights".

New HULA Member: Shonee

Although Dusty Doodles has achieved HULA status, his partner in Huskyness, Ms. Shonee has proven to be a mistress of manipulation.

Their human woman contacted my human woman one afternoon totally frantic because Shonee was crying in pain. The poor thing would shriek the husky death scream seemingly randomly and for no reason their human woman could figure out.

She had done this on another occasion, which meant a trip to the vet and large amounts of money spent to find... absolutely nothing wrong with her. Their human woman was beside herself, wondering if this was something horrible wrong with poor Shonee. They checked her all over and couldn't figure out where it could possibly hurt.

While her human was eating a steak, Ms. Shonee let fly with a heart wrenching cry again, which made her human hand over the steak she had been eating. This seemed to help the pain somewhat, but she still seemed very restless and not comfortable. Just in case, the humans packed her up in their car and took her for a 12 mile drive to get her a corn dog. She ate the corn dog upon their return home, then curled up in a ball and went to sleep.

It was then that her humans realized that the last time this had happened, they had taken one of their other dogs to the vet. Wait a minute! Could it be that Shonee knew that another dog got special attention and had figured out a devious but brilliant way to not only get steak, but also a car ride to get a corn dog?

Yep, you guessed it. Our wonderful HULA operative Shonee has found the perfect way to manipulate her humans to get whatever she wants.

Welcome to the HULA Hoop Shonee. You have my utmost admiration
