From May 5th:
Momma Sue,
Almost 90 degrees here in Buffalo today! We are not complaining since we had all of the snow.

Hope all is well. Buffalo is really changing. Lots of new restaurants...entrepreneurs compared to chains. Thai, Chinese, Indian, Mexican! Plus downtown is experiencing growth in loft type apartments. The area were The Aud was is completely changed. It is an exciting time.

Take care!
Kathy n Bentley Buffalo Ny

Congratulations from Mikey, Bailey, Cubby and their best bud, Jakey!

Hi Sue!

Wow- congratulations on your new puppy! I knew you couldn’t go without for long! I hope she’s as wonderful as ours are for us- absolute joys!
I hope she gives you and Mike lots of happiness!

I have an announcement! (Big grins here!)

OK.....I can't stand it anymore.   We have been without a dog for wayyyyy too long, and I just can't stand it anymore.   I bought a puppy.  Yes, I did!  She will be great company for us.  When I have to go places, I will no longer have to leave Mike home all alone.  I am so excited I can't even stand it.

Her name will be "Debbie" because that's what my daughter wants it to be....and it's also the name of one of my best friends....so Debbie is a good name. She is #3 in the line-up. Not the lightest...not the darkest...not the biggest...not the smallest....Just perfect. More pictures to follow.

Please rejoice with me on my new baby! MrsSusanMartin@aol.com

Hi Sue,

The days go so fast...I'm sorry we haven't written since last July,
after losing our beloved Chica to skin cancer at the age of 12. Since then,
Bailey has latched on to poor Curley. At almost 13, he is surprisingly tolerant
of a two (closing in on three!) year old. About the only time he moves when she
curls up next to him is in the mornings. He knows she doesn't want to go back
to sleep-she wants to play with her ball-so he moves to the other bed across the
room. It's always the same thing. She lays on Chica's old bed, I sit a few feet
away in front of the full-length mirror getting ready for work. She rolls the
ball to me, I roll it back. I have to get up 10 minutes earlier, but I love
this time with her.

She just got her Spring shave. She always looks so
different! She goes from being my fuzzy puppy to a very grown-up looking young
lady. But she'll always be my baby. She loves to cuddle! If not with me, then
her Dad. If not her Dad, then Curley. If not Curley, then her giant pink dog.
She looks forward to our morning walks more than our afternoon walks because the
neighborhood is so quiet at 5:30 in the morning. The only other person we see
is the man delivering newspapers. The change in season has brought out the
"fair weather walkers", which always throws off our routine, plus her
nemesis...skateboarders! I don't know if it's the sound or the fast
motion...she's just not a fan!

She remains in great health and is a
constant source of joy and love! You gave us a great one!

We hope all is
well with you and your family! God bless!

 Happy Birthday Bethany and all her litter mates!

Mamma Sue,

It’s me BETHANY!
I can’t believe it, but I’m 5 years old. I really missed my Mom, Daisy, and Daddy Tic-Tac, when I first arrived at my new home. I still love all the things I did when I was just a little baby. I still love my little duck, my blue ball and lots of other toys. It’s fun to run around the living room dragging all my toys out of the toy box. Mom can’t help smile when I act silly!
Our weather has really been strange, one day it is pretty and Mom and I can go for a walk then suddenly the wind picks up and the next thing you know cold rain is falling. I try very hard to get my Mom to do something about the weather but she tells me we much be patient and soon the weather will change. That’s how God blesses us.

Its been hard this past year. Mom was very sick and it took a long time for her to walk well. She still needs to take care of herself and I try to remind her every day. It's also been hard since Bella died last year. I found out I really miss my big sister. We had such a short time together. But everything is getting better and we know we’ll see her again when it’s time for the crossing of the Rainbow Bridge and Mom tells me of a special place called Heaven. Mom read all the blogs from the people who expressed their sympathy. She said they really helped to mend part of the heart.

Guess what? I’m going to get a little sister! I really miss having someone to play. I found one of Bella’s bones, it was well hidden under the bed. Well, I’ve had the best time playing with it and I can still smell Bella. When I hear her name I get sad and will even bark and cry. So Mom said she thinks a new baby will help. Mom is beginning to search for a new cocker breeder, we miss you and remember how you cared for us newborns! Maybe you know of a cocker breeder that has many of the standards you had! You were the best!

Pictures are included and I hope you get a happy thrill at seeing your Bethany at 5!
Mom, hopes you can come visit one day as we’re not too far away and maybe she’ll get to visit you.

Well, all my love Mamma Sue! You’re the best! Hugs with wet happy kisses and tail wagging love from your little girl of 5. Please wish all my brothers and sisters happy birthday and much love. In the photos you’ll see my new toys and a tired girl!

Love,
Bethany

Hi Mama Sue,

Today is April 20th and I am 5 years old today. I want to
wish my sister Gracie and my brothers Dusty and Bojangles a
very Happy Birthday!

My family gave me a beautiful new doggie bed and three new
toys. Guess who was the first to try out my new bed - and it wasn't
me; you guessed it Mama Sue, it was Cooper. He also thought all
the new toys were his - - I was lucky to get one of them. Boy, it sure
is a good thing I love my baby brother!!

We hope you and Papa Mike are well and enjoying this nice Spring
weather. Thank you Mama Sue from my family and especially from
me for letting me come and live here. I am very happy and loved a
lot.

Love,

Emily
