Poor Princess :(

My princess Madison was hiking with us yesterday and we don't know if she pulled something crossing the creek or if she is just that sore but she can barely walk :(

She is 10 (eek!) and has.. not so good hips but this is the worst we've seen her :( Poor Maddie is hobbling around.. we gave her mild pain killers but as soon as Tuesday rolls around she is going on a joint supplement (maybe Cosequin?) and possibly a vet visit if she's still gimpy!

Charlie doesn't understand why she wont put up with his antics today.. poor little guy. They don't really play... Maddie is above that (haha) but she does put up with him scooting circles and bouncing on her (just not near her ball!)

So Mads defiantly needs some get well soon howls!

Oh Canada! ... Almost!

Charlie is accusing me of being a lazy blogger.. rightfully so BUT I have yet another excuse! Beau and his owner moved to Ithaca NY this past week and... they don't even GET internet... you have to have dish internet! (Isn't that weird or am I just a suburbs kid to the core??) All the way to Ithaca we saw signs for CANADA! And there were statues of buffalo on the median... good thing I wasn't driving because I did a hard double take thinking they were real!

Heres where Ithaca is...


But luckily it looks like this...

Beau is SO SO happy. He is a good house dog but belongs on a farm and dearly missed his cows and fields and constant state of muddienesss!





Charlie and I will accompany them as soon as I find a job! ....easier said than done...



Charlie and Beau LOVE the huge grass field behind the house... I love that the yard is "fenced in" with corn and there are NO CARS for me to worry over!!!!

Happy dogs.. I think they were hunting butterflies? If only they could hunt jobs!!! :)

Charlie loved bouncing in the grass...

On the road...

"Grandma" says Charlie is doing great and sends lots of pictures! I cant wait to see him again... 3 days!! I'm posting a quick picture of Charlie's "big brother" Beau, a 2 year old Border Collie for Charlie's new friends to see (and yet another picture of Charlie relaxing on "Grandma's" couch!!)
