The Lighthouse

Look what I found! My dear fans, I am so excited to have run across this picture of Daddy Moose and little Bruno at the Point Cabrillo Light in Mendocino County.

I never knew Bruno but his scent is all over the house, shall we say. In pictures I have seen he seems so tiny. I understand he was usually between six and seven pounds.

His picture on the pillow on one my favorite chairs makes me chuckle (woof, woof) when I see it. He must have been a silly boy, but endearing.

Daddy Moose looks very good in this picture. He has a graceful walk and his own fashion sense. Little Bruno might have been in a hurry to leave his mark there on the restored lighthouse, which is still working, by the way.

Isn't this an interesting find for today?

A Serious Question

My Dear Fans,

Please let me ask you all a very serious question. This means a great deal to me.

Am I f.a.t???

I just heard Daddy Moose refer to me as "Sausage the Yorkshire Pudding."

Well!!

I agree that I am not petite, but I am sturdy. And in case anyone hasn't noticed, I can curl into a very small ball when I wish.

And I have feelings.

Sniff.

Your tenderest, most faithful friend, Sausha Angel

Hurricanes Oh My!

We are so unhappy about hurricane season. We have friends in Florida who escaped Gustav's wrath, but are in the direct path of Hannah. They are used to hurricane season, but that doesn't make it any easier when one of them is coming right at you. Of course, it doesn't help that it's been raining for a month down there on the tip of Florida. My dear little GizMo, Charity and Griffin, please be safe, you and your mommy.

Simple Amusement

Fun is found in such things as hiding and letting them find me.....

My Friend Jack

So, I understand my friend Jack has a puppy cut now. I think he looks so distinquished here, but a puppy cut IS cooler for summer.

Believe me, I know. I am overdue for a spa day.

Woof.

Friends and More

A big hello and belly rubs to my friend Jack Kennedy, a special Yorkie in Massachusetts. (Oh, my dears, I hope I spelled that correctly.)

In Utah, my cousin Sadie's mom is feeling better and better. Sadie's skinbrother and his wife have what it takes to be parents: a new baby!

That rascal Shadow Dancer had a birthday party recently. I envied him the jelly bean cake. I have never gotten a cake for MY birthday. But I do get a lot of treats so I shouldn't be too much of a glutton.

I get so much love and feel like a very lucky girl. My only complaint right now would be the heat. I come from the San Francisco Bay Area -- we NEVER had to put up with heat like this. Pant, pant.

The Week That Was

My dears, I have been so busy for the past week. I had an appointment with my Dr. Ellsworth who takes such good care of me at all times. She specifically commented on my eyelashes. After that Mama DiDi and I went to the POUND -- yes, call it what it is! -- and I received a 3 year license. (Mama DiDi looked at me and said, "Well, she IS ten years old." The clerk nodded sadly. "On the other hand," Mama DiDi continued, "she IS a Yorkie!" The clerk smiled. "Let's go for it," they said together.

No sooner had I recovered from that upset to my routine than Mama DiDi began spending many days away, helping her dear mother move from a lovely home into a small apartment. These things are never easy and I could tell it was often sad for Mama DiDi and her sisters. So, as time goes on, I will visit there and see if I can bring joy in my own small way.
