Until next time . . . . 
Hope everyone had a great Halloween!!! We got to go up to Grandma and Grandpa's for Halloween. The momma drove for a change because Grandpa said he would be SUPER DUPER, INCREDIBLY NICE and put new brakes on the momma's car. I have a really great Grandpa!!!
So Grandma takes this Halloween thing very seriously. There is a lot of work and presentation that needs to be down before it gets dark and the little monsters start showing up lokking for candy. It was cold, but I agreed to go outside and lend a paw supervising the whole operation.
I was taking my supervising duties quite seriously when the momma suggested that my helping with the decorating might go a long way toward helping everyone forget that I had broken into the my cousins special Halloween treat bags that Grandma had made and tried to help myself to some Whoppers and Starburst =) After all, i was already confined to Grandma's yard after last year's rock eating incident.
I immediately saw the logic in her thinking and jumped right in with my yard decorating expretise!!! I'm quite sure that they couldn't have pulled it all togetehr without me
Ok, maybe Grandma helped out a little =)
This is Grandma and her date for the night! Grandpa's not big on the whole trick or treat thing. He would rather stay in the house and watch football with daddy!! So Grandma got this "guy" to hang out with her =)
Here are the results of the all our hard work!! Grandma's creepy graveyard in the front of the house. There was Marcus the Carcus and the creepy guy in the corner she hasn't named yet.
She also had a fog machine, but it was way to windy for it to work right.
I was the candy inspector!! I had to make sure that it was safe for the little monsters to eat. We wouldn't want to be know as the house that gave out bad candy =)
I was Grandma's devoted assistant. I helped her hand out the candy and got lovin's from all the little monsters.
I was of course rewarded for my efforts. Every assistand deserves to get paid. So I went to the momma and demanded my payment.
I glady accepted an offering of Smartees. The momma was quite generous =)
I very much enjoyed my paycheck =) 
The momma wanted to end with the picture daddy took of me sleeping on her lap while she drove home, but he keeps forgetting to send it to her =P 
They posted about Landon. Landon is a foster in need of rehab and surgery. He was very lucky to be saved from a shelter by Pugs 'n Pals of Southern California and now needs lots of love and care. Pugs 'N Pals is selling Yankee candles to help raise money to cover the costs of Landon's surgery and care. You can read poor Landon's story on Stella and Gunther's page and you can check out the candles here! Who doesn't love candles with a cause?!?!?!?
Little Miss TicTac is most definitely the Alpha female in her pack. Oh, wait, she is the only female!!! She's quite fiesty and knows how to keep the brood in line. Please go over and give her and her 4 brothers a warm blogger welcome!! 4 brothers, can you believe that??? And now is there is a 5th as her momma and daddy are fostering!! 
Until next time . . . .
Not only is it Friday, but I got word this morning that Lilo has turned back into a "FOOD MACHINE." She started showing an interest in food last night, but only for green beans and yogurt treats. Luckily, both of those are pretty easy on her stomach. However, the phone call I got at lunch informed me that she is back to eating anything put in front of her. I guess that means Madie won't get any more Lilo rejects. =) I put her in bed with me last night and she did not move from about 9:45pm when we laid down and midnight when the daddy got home and let her out. If she slept like that all the time, she would get to spend a lot more nights in the big bed!!!
So it looks like the momma's sweet baby is well on her way back to being her normal, rotten self!!!
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!!!! Thank you again for all being such wonderful friends!!!
I wanted to start off by saying THANK YOU to everyone that has commented or checked in, not only here on the blog, but on my Facebook page as well. The amount of support over the last 24 hours has been amazing and I am grateful. As I've talked about Lilo being sick, people will roll their eyes and I have heard comments about are you talking about a person? Some people have a hard time grasping the idea that some of do really love our pets. For me, I don't have human children. Lilo is my baby and the thought of anything happening to her is devestating. I am so grateful that I can log on here and know that everyone understands exactly how I feel!!!! It makes things seem a little easier to deal with.
Until next time . . . 
The momma here. I've taken over the blog today as Lilo is sick. I am, to say the least, worried. The last time she ate and kept food down was dinner Monday night. I took her to the vet last night and they gave us an antibiotic and said it looked like the onset of a respritory infection. My fear, of course, was that she had eaten something again. We are coming up on the one year anniversary of her great rock eating escapde!! I came home from work at noon today and for a little while thought we might be on an up swing, but not so much. I got half a Benadryl, her morning antibiotic (the daddy gave it to her this morning and she waited until we left to spit it back out) and some peanut butter into her today. My joy at those feats was short lived. She is once again sluggish and sickly. I want to believe that the vet is right and it's just a respritory infection that the antibiotics will treat, but it's hard. When she inhales, I can see her whole body shake. When I let her out to potty, she goes and hides under a pile of brush like its her den or something. I don't know what to do or what to think. Right now, we are just watching her. 
The hiding in the brush started this morning when I didn't let her in right away after she peed.
Until next time . . . .
