Trumpets Blare Forth!

Vote for Jackson!!

My Pal Jackson has been nominated as the "Bravest Pet in Sussex" and I would appreciate it lots if you would go and vote for him. Ahem, Or, for any of the other very brave pets listed there......but !

Here is the URL to read the stories about Jackson and the other nominees.

Now, I may be a bit prejudiced, because Jackson IS a WFT, and he IS a rescue (like me!) and I like to read his blog and hear about his adventures, BUT.....

I think if you visit Jackson's blog

http://jacksonsworld-jackson.blogspot.com/ and read this excerpt from my muzzer's e-mail you will understand why I support him as a candidate.

Jackson, my 8 year old Wire Fox Terrier, has reached the finals for the Bravest Pet in Sussex Award, here in the UK.
Jackson has had a really tough year; firstly he was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease last August. While this was being investigated at the veterinary hospital he was also diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism . He had a malignant tumour removed from his neck in February this year and in June had 40 kidney stones removed.
We have had several anxious moments with him and he's been rushed to the vet during the night on more occasions than I care to remember!
However, in typical fox terrier fashion he is such a determined little dog. He acts as though there is nothing wrong with him and in fact most people think he's the picture of health and vitality! His resilience is amazing and he has recovered exceptionally well and is now able to go out for walks again and play with his toys which are his 2 favourite occupations.


Thank you for considering a vote for my pal Jackson!

Hi dog friends and other readers.

Muzzer and I have found a (relatively) new Wire Fox Terrier Blogger.

His name is Lenny, and he is nine years old. He lives in Indiana, and has only been blogging for a short while.

Of course...Jackson got there before I did, but then,,,,,,he is a much nicer fellow.

Here is Lenny's Blog Address: http://wirewise.blogspot.com/

"Gus sent me!"

Sending Love to Our Friend, Jackson

Everydog and person reading this please say your favorite prayer or intercession or blessing for our friend Jackson, who is having surgery this week.

He is a very special wire (all wires are special indeed, Jackson is just a bit specialler than most.) He is very brave and cheerful, despite some serious health problems.

Please visit him at http://jacksonsworld-jackson.blogspot.com/ to read his story and leave him some love and encouragement.

Thank you
Gussie

28 days, 12 hrs and counting

Oh boy oh boy.....We are leaving for St. Loulus on July 4! We will be "On the Road Again" and I will have lots of exciting things to blog about. Like, how many times does muzzer get sick in the car each day? And, how effective was Gussie at scoring a hamburger for lunch? And, did the lessons Teka is giving me make it easier for me to wriggle out of my safety harness? Wow.

Between now and then, we are also a pretty busy family. Tomorrow I see the vet. Add to the worry list the fact that I am getting some shots, and prolly a blood test. Woe is me. Must think of Jackson and be strong. Then, this coming weekend Dad is going up to Prescott for a couple of days. Prescott is the original state capitol, and a cute town. It is also much cooler than Tempe! But muzzer and I are staying home to take care of Grandpa and the store. Monday muzzer takes Grandpa to get his blood counted. I hope he has enough. I think I will put it on my worry list.

Then Dad comes back for a while, spends two weeks with me and muzzer, and then he goes to England for a long time. My friend Jackson invited him to visit, but Dad is going to wait until muzzer can go along with him for that visit. He is visiting friends at Oxford, then doing his
"dog and pony" show in Manchester and Stirling, and then flying back here on July 2. Hey, wait a minute....how can he do a dog and pony show when I am staying in Azrizona this trip???? Oh well, one more thing for the worry list.

Then, we spend a whole day doing his laundry, and early in the morning of the fourth of July, we get into the white Gussiemobile and leave. We will be blogging regularly....maybe even more regularly than we do now, and I will share pictures and stories and all kinds of stuff with my friends. But not food. Road food is my favorite. Steak n' Shake, here comes Gussie!

Final item for worry list for today. Miss Fee said she thinks I am looking a bit chunky. Am I really? Tomorrow we are visiting the vet, and I bet I find out. Oh..if I am chunky, can I still eat Steak n Shake? Will my friends like me if I am chunky? Oh my. worry worry worry. muzzer says I am becoming Eeyore. Note to self: who is Eeyore, and how can a Gussie become an Eeyore?

worry worry worry.
