Mom's Creation

Ok, here it is...drumroll....the moment you have been waiting for...the big unveiling of the quilt mom is donating to be won by raffle or silent auction at the Hike N' Howl this coming Saturday. I am so excited to see all my doggy friends I can hardly contain myself. Mom is not quite finished with the quilt (the edges are not done yet) but she allowed me to take a picture to share with everydoggy. I think the puppies on the quilt are very cute and it is even doggy-sized.

These are the close-ups of the quilt!
I apologize right now to everydoggy who's blog I haven't visited this week. I promise with my paw to my heart I haven't forgotten you, the Kapp Pack is just very busy getting ready to help out with the event on Saturday. Oh, and by the way, it's not too late to sponsor MEEEEE! Just click on the link on my sidebar that says sponsor me!

Go Steelers!

So, Mom and Dad left us home alone again!!! I don't get why they keep leaving us...but I guess I shouldn't complain too much since they always come back. Mom and Dad are big Steelers fans and drove all the way across the state to go to the Steelers vs. Eagles game on Sunday night. They told me there was no way they were going to wear Steelers jerseys to Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia so they went to Heinz Field in Pittsburgh.


I hope some of you are Steelers fans and can enjoy the pictures!

Dad "pretending" to be Big Ben!

The view as you walk in the stadium......very cool!

The view from the cheap seats...mom and dad were all the way at the top row of the stadium

The scoreboard was really different with the big bottles of Heinz ketchup.

I was very upset when Mom told me I wasn't allowed to have another pawty because I was still recovering. A girl's gotta have a little fun sometime.

Woo woo, Kelsey Ann

BTW, Don't tell mom I told you but I am unveiling the quilt she is donating to the Hike N' Howl tomorrow. Stay tuned!

Breast Cancer Awareness

Dad suggested a few nights ago, that I should add a link on the blog to a breast cancer awareness site since I recently had to have a partial mastectomy to remove the cancer (we're so glad that it didn't turn out to be the bad kind). We added the link to the sidebar on Friday night, but I haven't had a chance to mention it until now. This is what the link looks like.

Click on it every day, and sponsors will donate money to the Breast Cancer Site, a foundation that provides free mammograms to human women that need them (what about doggie women that need them???).

Queen Kelsey = Queen Elizabeth

I'm starting to feel better since my surgery this week. I haven't posted a lot this week, so I wanted to tell you how I've been spending the last several days. Of course, I've been resting a lot on my throne in the bedroom. They've even shut the door to keep the annoying one away from me. I've also been milking this thing for all it's worth. Take today at lunch for instance:

Mom, the little biped, and "Dama" (that's the little biped's word for Grandma) went out shopping for clothing. Dad and "Paw-paw" (Dama's other half), were out in the shed building bigger and better shelves. Paw-paw went to a nearby fast food restaurant and bought hamburgers and french fries for lunch. They brought them inside to eat since the air conditioning was on and it was so hot outside. I, of course, had to get off my throne to go and get french fries. Normally, begging wouldn't get me anywhere, but both Dad and Paw-paw shared with me. I got six whole french fries. It reminds me of my younger days when I was an only dog, and would go places with Mom and Dad. I'd get my own box of fries when they stopped at the fast food places.

The little biped is very worried about "Ke'y booboo," so she's been bringing me treats whenever Mom and Dad will let her. I've had to take several medications this week on top of the ones I already take. Normally, I get three pills a day. I take one pill, twice a day, for my spay incontinence (to prevent leaking); and another, once a day, for discomfort from arthritis and old age. Well, now I'm taking another pain pill once a day and an antibiotic twice a day. More pills means more peanut butter!!! Woooooooo!!!! I suppose you could say that I've been enjoying myself as much as possible this week except for the discomfort and the stupid lampshade.

Some humans call this an Elizabethan Collar or E-collar. It was named this after the ruffles on the dresses that Queen Elizabeth I wore.

She used to be the Queen of England, a long time ago. England is a country that is far away across "The Pond" (that's what the English call the Atlantic Ocean). Anyhusky up for a swim? I suppose that I'm getting to wear this thing since I'm a queen too so I shouldn't complain too much, but I wouldn't be Queen Kelsey if I didn't complain some - so here it is.

I tried to eat with it on when I had surgery a year or so ago, but it got in the way. I can't go up stairs with it on because the bottom of it gets caught on the stairs. So because of this, I get to take it off when I eat and when I go out. Twice this week, I got stuck in the room with the big, white, porcelain water bowl. In the middle of the night, I got thirsty, so I went there to get a drink. I must have been a little confused in the dark on Tuesday night and I wondered into the closet and couldn't get out. Dad came in when he got up in the morning for his shower and rescued me. The next night, I went in again and when I tried to leave, it got caught on the door and pushed the door shut. So, there I was stuck in that room until Mom got up in the morning and let me out. I had to wait especially late on Thursday morning because both Mom and Dad had the day off. Both mornings I was as mad as a hornet.

Well, enough complaining for now. More later - it's what I do best!

FOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rex has returned home. We would like to thank everyone for all of their help and support. I hope everyone can climb back into bed to capture a few extra zzzz,s I am very sorry for the inconvenience that this has put on all of you. After setting up camp in the back of the car Rex returned to the place he had escaped from. He leaped at the car. and made his circle looking for an entrance. He was so excited to see me that I barely got the door open before my face was soaked by his kisses. Unbelievable but true, he was only damp from the condensation and a hint of mud from the terrain had splashed on him. I really expected a drenched, filthy dog with the possibility of a touch of skunk perfume to top off the overwhelming day. On that note I am heading off to bed. The Rose Pack is sincerely grateful to all. We are looking forward to a little rest.

Good News!

Hi Everypup!

I wanted to pass along great, awesome, best we could have hoped for, news. Dr. Horst called and left a message for my mom and dad (I don't know why he didn't just ask for me since I was home) but anywoo, he said my tumor was benign.....that's the kind of cancer that we wanted the tumor to be. The pathologist also said there were clean margins around the pesky tumor.

The only thing mom and dad need to do to follow up is to continue regularly checking me for lumps and bumps! Cha ching!!!!! Bonus for me, that means mandatory belly rubs!!!!!!

Thanks everypup (and human) for your vibes and prayers!!!! They really helped me and keep think good vibes for a speedy recovery!

Woo woo, Kelsey Ann

Torture Device Poll Results

Hello Everypup!

For those of you wondering, I am feeling much better than I felt on Monday. I am keeping a positive outlook for good results when they come back in a week or two.

Torture Victims!

The winner of our poll is the evil furminator followed in a close second by every other torture device. Thanks to everypup who voted.


In anticipation of the season change (it has felt like fall here this week) I am posting a poll about what your favorite season is. I'm placing my vote now and believe me it's not going to be summer!



Woo woo, Kelsey Ann

Mom's a Puppy!!!!

Mom just had to try this quiz she saw on Quincy and Tristin's blog. I guess our mom is not a husky after all!

You Are a German Shepherd Puppy

Intelligent, quick witted, and a bit aggressive. You've got the jaw power to take a bite out of anyone you choose.

What Breed of Puppy Are You?

Woo woo, Kelsey Ann

Huskyless Vacation?

Hi All, I am back to taking the computer over again. I have lots of time to dictate since I am resting up and recouperating from my mastectomy surgery. Thank you for all the well wishes. Dr. Horst and his staff were very nice to me today. They told me in private that I should take advantage of the sympathy for as long as possible. Dr. Horst said my bump was definetely a tumor but we need to wait a week or two for the biopsy results. I will let everypup know when we get those.

Ok, so you will never believe what I found on mom and dad's computer last night. For those that didn't know mom, dad and the little biped left us for a few days and our good friends Megan and Morgan came to check on us a few times a day. I found pictures from their vacation. Apparently they went to Maine again. Dad's corporate office is in Maine and he had to go to teach a training in Portland. So mom and the little biped tagged along.

I wish I would have gotten to go. I've been to Maine before, back when I was the only dog and before the little biped was around. It appears that they did lots of neat things.

Mom and little biped went to the beach to walk around.

They went to look at lighthouses and ate at the Lobster Shack. Personally, shrimp is my favorite.

They got to ride on a big sailboat on Casco Bay in Portland.

They got to see a chocolate moose and a real live moose family.

They helped a wayward husky mix find his way home....see I told you they cheated on us!!!!

They also drove to Pemaquid Point and ate dinner at the little restaurant on the cliffs next door. (hint: If you've seen a Maine quarter you've seen this lighthouse.)

I hope next time they take us to Maine....maybe by then Maine will have SNOW!!!!!!!

I almost forgot...they also went to Planet Dog HQ and the little biped picked us some very yummy treats! Apparently Portland is a very dog friendly town...I just don't get why they left us home....

I couldn't resist including this very silly picture of my dad!

Woo woo, Kelsey Ann

(I'm feeling very loopy tonight)
