My Popsy Is Gone!

My Popsy Sumo died yesterday!

I tried to keep watch over him.

As he walked back and forth . . .

But Popsy would plopped anywhere to nap!
Something he does not normally do.
Popsy always prefer to sleep on his pillows in his house!
So I would sit close by
to make sure I will be there if he needed anything.
And if he does I bark out to the hoomans!
And somebody would check on him
and spoon-feed him if needed!

And when somebody would tease him
I stick my tongue out at them!

Nobody can hurt my Popsy when I was near!

But when Popsy slept
he kept an eye on me
trying to watch over me
even in his weak moment!

And lately, Popsy would allow me to lead the barking
when there are intruders . . .
like he was telling me that
it is time for me to take the lead.
Popsy did not care to lead at all anymore.

He slept often which made Keeper cry!

I am the Alpha now
but I am alone!
I have nobody to lead
and there's nobody except the people
who are watching me now!

I miss my Popsy.
But Keeper said Popsy is in a better place
where my late Mumsy Pica and brother Bogart
lie waiting for him!
Goodbye, Popsy!
Be happy and pain-free wherever you are!
I will miss you
and will join you someday!

For my Popsy Sumo

Heaven Is Nursing A Broken Heart

I am putting all my SuperDog projects on hold.
Between stolen naps
and watching over my father Sumo . . .
I have no energy left . . .
So please understand . . .
I can not do some of your posters and cards
but I am sending some pictures by eMail.

Lookit:
Keeper is exhausted as well!
She comes home right away and in tears
and runs to check on Popsy Sumo right away!
Keeper has cancelled all events
so she can keep an eye on Popsy!

My Popsy is OK
but he moves slow
and he eats little
and when he sleeps
he gets easily startled.

My superjob now is to keep watch over my Popsy.
When he does not finish his meal, I do it for him.
When Keeper is done cleaning his fur
I wait for my furs to be cleaned as well.
When Keeper gives him a hug
I wait for my hugs as well.

There is nothing
that goes on in my Popsy's life
that I am not part of.

And now I take a wee break
to join Ashley's SHS.
It is one of my favorite weekly do:

SMILE
At least somebody can smile for me;

RUSTY AND SOMETHING OLD
My old rusty metal collar.

ARTIFICIAL
This is not a bone. It is not a tiger either.
It was a gift by my GF Happy many moons ago.

REPEATING PATTERNS
My dirty paws waiting for keeper
after following my Popsy around!

STAND ALONE
Now look at my Popsy Sumo.
He now hates being alone.
And while I can
I will keep him company . . .

There is no better time to show your loved one
how special and important that he is in your life
than in that moment when he needs you the most . . .

Do not grieve and be sad for your loved ones.
Because in their weakest moments
your love and happiness
is their only joy!

And that's my drooly barking
for my other favorite
Lisa and her Kitty:

And for all who sent us good wishes
healing prayers, love and concern
you make our tiredness and grief bearable . . .
Thank you all drooly much!
