Too funny!! IF he does ever push it, I will be right beside him, so I'm SURE that whoever see's us will know that the leopard printed doggie stroller was MY idea, LOL!

Your posts just crack me up though girl lol!

Milo had hip surgury about 1 1/2 years ago I think the only thing that got me through was my warped sense of humor

LOL...I hear that! How is he doing after his hip surgery? I hope all is well!

He is great thanks for asking I was very lucky, when we went back to the Dr.
for his follow up they told me that I did not have to do rehab with him that he seemed to be rehabing himself. Which was great for him cause I was a wreck. I slept on an areo bed on the floor for 2 weeks cause I was afraid he would try and jump on things. At the end of the two weeks his body was in much better shape then mine LOL. Tatums doing great they are much more resiliant than we think they are, and she has a great set of parents

Well aren't you sweet, thank you so much for your kind comments! That is wonderful that Milo is doing so well! And I had to laugh because I seriously thought of sleeping on an Aero bed for the 6 weeks recovery period too - and I'm not kidding LOL. But...Tatum actually has been doing quite well in her little house at night, I do keep it RIGHT beside my bed though. And thank God she is, because my back is already broken from sitting on this dang couch all day, lol! I'd probably be hunch back if I had to sleep on a blow up bed for a month and a half on top of it Hah!

You're right....our babies are strong little buggers! Alot stronger than we think, that's for sure!

I just read all the posts and saw that little Tatum had surgery. Im glad that all went well. I don't know how you do it. It is hard enough when your child has to have surgery but to have to try to get through the recovery period with a little puppy who can't understand what you are telling them you need them to do.?. I cried reading about how horrible it was. I'm so sorry things were so hard but very glad that things are going well.

I got my stroller in yesterday!!!! I haven't taken pictures of it or really used it yet because we had storms and tornados all over us. So I will get those pictures and reviews to you today. I did put it together and the seat(enclosed area) is very large and roomy!

[Mom to Hot Rod]

Just checking in and seeing how the little Tator Bug is doing today. I know what you are saying about her in her house. Poor Hot Rod is depressed-I think. He's barky/whiney at Maggie is loose. He looks soooo pathetic sometimes when he just puts is face into the crate and sticks his nose out of it sideways.

I've been gone for awhile, but I'm glad to hear that the surgery is over and Tatum is doing well! You must be so relieved that at least that part is behind you!

I got the boys a stroller too (it's pink, but it was FREE) and we often have Max's sister with us, so the pink is forgiven, LOL.....it's such a great thing to have for when we take them out to eat with us~ we can put them in the stroller next to the table we're at and they have a comfy place to hang out almost at our level (as opposed to either sitting on our laps or in the carrier). And when we go to any of the many dog-related events here, it's nice for them to be able to get away from all of the excitement (and pitbulls) around.

I loved the pictures of Tatum on the mile high pile of blankets, LOL.

Just checking in to see how Tatum is doing ..... Wow! Sounds like she is making a nice recovery!!! It is funny how they can be.... if they feel a little better, they think that they can conquer anything!!! I remember how Shelbs was........ and it is so very difficult to keep them in jail for such a long time. (I think it was 6-8 weeks for Shelby..... but I remember trying to figure out how to keep her from running when we first gave her some freedom! )

[Mom to Hot Rod]

Hope that Tatum is having a good Easter. How is she doing? Is she ready to get out of jail yet? I know Hot Rod is! Happy Easter to you guys from Hot Rod and Maggie May!

Thanks girl! It is SO great to see you posting by the way...I have been wondering where you went!

That is so funny about the boy's stroller - but hey - when it's free it's free....ya can't complain too much, lol! I think it will really be great to have one....you never know when you are going to need it after all! When I get mine, I'm sure I will be wondering how I've gone without one all this time

LOL - thanks girl and I am so glad that you loved the picture of little Tator on her blankets!! She loves those darn things!

Hug the boys for me and I hope you are all having a Happy Easter so far!

Awwww, thanks Kristi! She is doing very well! Eating, drinking and pooping like she should be...and she has been getting more and more frisky each day! Hubby was doing something in here earlier with the Shop Vac and OMG was she ever going crazy with her little barking! LOL it was just soo funny to hear because Tatum is NOT a barker by any means and she hardly ever does it - so when she does we just CRACK UP!! Her bark is so tiny and raspy sounding...it sounds like she has a hoarse little voice LOL...just totally funny to hear!

Yes it is sooo difficult to keep them in Yorkie jail for so long...I hate it! I want to let her out of there so bad I miss seeing her walk around the house and following me around everywhere And we still have such a long time to go still before she can get out of there Darn it. I too have NO idea how I will keep her from going nuts when the day does come that I can let her out...no telling what she is going to do LOL.

Brooke, im soooo glad to hear Tatum is doing good and that her surgery went well. London will probably also need surgery but later on. Give Tatum a big kiss, im sure she's all cuddled up in your lap now. Spoil her rotten!
