'Twas the Dog’s Night Before Christmas

'Twas the Dog’s night before Christmas, when all through the doghouse

Not a doggie was stirring, not even a mouse;

The dog's stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;

The puppies were curled all snug in their dogbeds,

While visions of cookies & bones danced in their heads;

And Ma Dog and I curled together,

All warm and cuddly, out of the cold weather.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from the dogbed to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I jumped (I'm an agility dog),

Tore open the curtains and looked into the fog.

When, what to my wondering eyes should I see,

A sleigh, and four reindogs all cute as can be.

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,

I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.

Then faster than flyball dogs they came,

And he whistled, shouted, and called them by name;

"Now, Rudolph! Now, Casper! Now, Buddy! Now Nikki!

Run on, run on! We must go quickly.

To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall!

Hurry on, hurry on, reindogs all.

And then, in a twinkling, upon the roof I saw,

The prancing and dogprints of each little dog paw.

And St. Nick filled the dog’s stockings with toys,

And balls and stuffies for all the dog girls and dog boys.

And he even left us extra things too,

Like bones, collars and leashes for the dogs in rescue.

Then he sprang up to his sleigh, and gave the reindogs a hoot,

And away they all flew to deliver the rest of the loot.

And that’s when I heard him exclaim, as he flew out of sight,

Happy Christmas to all dogs and to all a goodnight!

Woofs, from Casper, Buddy and Nikki's Momma

Do They Know It's Christmas? From Dog's With Blogs

We just love this. Hope you enjoy!

THANK YOU TO MEEKO

Hi doggies,

Momma is dedicating this post to Meeko who is doing awesome at his furever home!
She found this letter posted on a rescue site. It says it all.


THANK YOU

Thank You for bringing this foster dog into my life.

Had I not made the decision to participate in rescue, I would never have had the chance to meet him. If I had sat here comfortably in my home and said "I already have four dogs and I know that I couldn't take in another - even on a temporary basis," I would never have met this dog.

Yes, it takes time to rescue and foster... but who gave me Time in the first place? And why or what was the reason I was given Time? To fill my own needs? Or was there another reason ever so small and seemingly insignificant, like rescuing this one dog that could make a difference in another's life? Perhaps to add joy, hope, help and companionship to another who is in need?

With great sadness, I sat down on a footstool in my kitchen this morning and watched as this foster dog bounced back into the house and skidded across the floor to sit ever so perfectly in front of me. He was the picture of health, finally. He was all smiles for me.... and I smiled back at his happy face. Deep in his eyes, the storm clouds of illness and generalized poor health had blown away, and the clear light of his perfection radiated out from his beautiful soul. He holds no ill will toward man. He forgives us all.

I thought to myself as I impressed this one last long look of him into my heart, what a very fine creature you have created. Tears slowly pooled and spilled over my cheekbones as the deeper realization of how wonderful this dog is sank into my internal file cabinet of Needful Things to Remember. Lord, he's a dog - but he's a better human being than I am.

He forgives quickly. Would I do the same?
He passionately enjoys the simple things in life. I have often overlooked them.
He accepts change and gets on with his life. I fuss and worry about change.
He lives today and loves today. I often dwell in the past or worry about the future.
He loves no matter what. I am not that free.

This very lovely dog has gone to his new home today and already I miss him.
Thank You for bringing this dog into my life.
And thank you for the beautiful and tender lesson on how to be a better human.

Guess what ? Nikki and Momma are going to visit Meeko today!

They can't wait! I'll make them report back ASAP!

Woofs Casper

Thanks Poopsie Blue !!!

Hi doggies,

Do you remember our previous post on PAY IT FORWARD?

Well look what we received from Mr. Postman? Now we ususally don't like Mr. Postman and when we see or hear him coming we bark and bark and bark and bark and bark and bark and bark and bark ........ ( you get the idea- it drives Momma nuts ). Well Mr. Postman brought us this:

We were so excited.

We immediately knew it was for us!

How did we know?

Well there were 2 clues on the envelope.

Clue # 1

It says "Royal Mail" therefore it has to be for us doggies

- we are the only royalty in this house ;)

Clue #2

It says DOG TOYS !!!

And here they are:

A frisbee, a football that glows in the dark and a pretty flowered diary.

Nikki immediately took the football and won't let any other doggies play with it.

She just loves it.

Momma tried to teach me how to catch the frisbee but I just couldn't figure it out.

I kept looking inside it

So Momma put it on me as a necklace!

Hey I'm a boy dog.

Why does she like doing stuff like this?? :)

PS Thanks Poopsie !!

We are gonna let Momma use the pretty diary ;)

Welcome To Our New Eskie Friends At DWB's

Hi all DWB-ers, Have you met all our new Eskie friends that have joined us?


There's Nicholas the sanctuary dog from Tennessee

and Mochi from California

and Destiny from Maine

and Aspen and Tango ( Eskies) and Dakota the Samoyed from Austrialia

Aren't they all adorable? Please go visit our new Eskie friends ;)

MEEKO IS ADOPTED :)))

Well it's official! MEEKO IS ADOPTED! YAY!

Momma is a little sad to let him go. She says it's bittersweet. Huh ?? We ask you .... How can it be bitter and sweet at the same time?

Momma leaked only a little this time. Maybe 'cause she knew this was a good home for Meeko and 'cause she knew she would see Meeko again. He is going to live only 4 blockies away from us! In fact Nikki and Meeko have a play date tomorrow. Cool!


Here are a couple pictures that Momma took of Meeko last week just before she walked him over to his new furever home.

We will be sure to have Nikki report how Meeko is after she visits him tomorrow!

Sharing The Love

We are very late at getting this special gift from White Dog aka Siku on our bloggie. Momma has been so busy with work and 'Musical Doggies' (see post below) that she has been letting other important bloggie stuff slip. We gotta do something about that!

Anyway White Dog sent us this bootiful Sharing The Love award. Thank you White Dog!




The rules for this award are to pass it along to some people whose blogs you love. They make you laugh, smile, leave encouraging comments on your blog. You would like to share some love with them because they have uplifted, inspired, encouraged or prayed for you.
Please include this paragraph with the link to Memoirs of a Mommy so that everyone knows where this award originated from.



We are passing this award on to the 4 B's especially Bailey who is recovering from surgery on his leg. Bailey is on crate rest and so he really needs some love. Of course Baxter, Brody and Benson also need some love too 'cause they miss running and playing with Bailey. Goodness dogness they have to wait another 2 months and 3 weeks till Bailey can run and play with them again! We think they all need some love!
