Uncle Carlos came by the other day the other day because he had some errands to run for Martha. Of course, we Frenchies, went with him. One of our stops was the veterinarian, where Francesca had an appointment scheduled and prescriptions to pick up.
1 Thanks for coming with me to the vet, Sharkey. I know your appointment isn't until later this week, so it's awfully nice that you would keep me company during my visit.
2 No problem, Franny! It's always interesting to see other dogs and cats at the vet and you know that we always have so much fun running errands with Uncle Carlos. Let's sit on this bench and wait our turn.
3 Oh hi, little friend! You're just here for a check-up? Francesca needs to pick up refills for her prescriptions.
4 Pardon me, I'm Francesca Stewart here for my 2 o'clock appointment. Sharkey is just here for support. She'll be back on Friday for her appointment.
5 Oh, Dr. Jean! You're delivering such great news! You say that Francesca's eye is looking better?
6 Thanks for the prescription refills. I'll be sure to continue my current treatment of eyedrops.
7 Dr. Jean, you've taken such good care of Francesca, G.K., and me! We'll see you on Friday for my visit!
8 Well, Francesca, what do you want to do when we get home? Hunt for squirrels? Run around with G.K.?
9 Oh, my, Franny. You seem to be all tuckered out!
10 You may be onto something.....

Good morning one and all,
I am so glad that everyone seems to be doing better.
And that is excellent news about Francesca's eye. I was really worried about her
Rain, rain, rain. Everybody says we need it. I can't lay out on the deck when it rains so I
have to find other things to do. I gave up on trying to find that new show on tv, Girls Gone Wild Canine Version. Maybe I will work on my special Mother's Day words for Friday. I can't wait to see what everyone has to say.
Hey Cora-Belle, what color is your nail polish?
I will check back in later
love to all,
Maddox

Good morning ladies,
Your Dr. Jean looks so nice. I love my Dr. Becky (I know, I've said it before). I'm so glad you are both on the mend at last.
Hey Maddox, I'm sending some sunshine your way for the weekend so you can get some deck time in....oh, also for all my pals out East.
Cora Belle, how is your nose? I forgot to ask yesterday. Any more b-day presents?
It was really quiet here yesterday. I peed on the dining room table leg again..the table is on its side letting the leg dry and my bed is now in the laundry room and the gate is up. It's really not so bad in the laundry room, it's cozy & I eat in there anyway AND I thing I'm sleeping better. I can't here Mimi and Papa snore! LOL
Your pal,
Rebel

Good Morning F & S
I missed a few days due to my mom's work and golf schedule but I'm back today. Franny good news on the eye and Sharkey glad to see the lamp shade is off your head. GK what's up with you getting Lymes? Don't you use Frontline? Those darn ticks are nasty little things.
Nothing new to report down here in South Jersey. Rain today so I'm hoping we get rid of the pollen, it's horrible this time of year. I go out black and come in green - YUK. I worked with mom all weekend in the yard we did lots of planting.
I need dad to take me shopping for something special for Mother's Day. Have the 3 of you planned what you are doing for Martha?
Well breakfast is being served

Hello ladies, Kirby here.
Again today with the “404 error” message. Seems like one of the pictures isn’t working and is giving me an error. I couldn’t read what’s happening but I was able to make out there is some good news about your health problems. Good news??? What am I thinking, that’s great news. Maddox you should come down and visit me for a while. I think the filming of “Girls Gone Wild Canine Version” was done next door. There are there females living there and they are really wild. All I have to do is get near the fence and they run at me barking and growing. They think they are scaring me but I just laugh at them. Boy do they get wild then. What fun I have doing that about three times a day. I had better make ‘my rounds’ and then take a nap.
Catch you later, Kirby.
From: delia | 5/9/12 at 9:11 am
Oh dear Francesca, I do hope your eye will be better, I can see the light film across it...that brings back memories of my foal and her eye injury...a long drawn out treatment.
That little Westie at the Vet seems scared of you two Frenchies, or maybe the westie mommie was scared...they sure don't know you, do they!
Lucinda, tell James "Thank You"
for his service and that all is well with his VA hospital tests...my hubby Al is a Vietnam Vet and very much involved with Veteran Events.
Kitty is ringing the bell hanging on the door to go outside...she is such a smart cat!
Well here's another day, got to get busy!!!

Hello Ladies,
I loved these photos. Dr. Jean sure gave us all good news on Franny's eye doing well, and I know Friday will bring more good news on you Sharkey and G.K. My favorite is #11---you both look like you are having good rest time. Maddox, it sounds like you are taking good care of Karen. You are the Professor and you know how to bring smiles. Cora Belle, glad to hear the nose is healing. Stay far away from the feral cats---I got ring worm as a child from handling and trying to rescue one. Abby, good to hear you are getting lots of "cc" time with Grandpa and Gran. Chloe, a mole, oh my!!! Didn't Zoe's bunch get one recently too?Have a great Wednesday everyone.
I am looking forward to seeing MaMa M on tv again tonight. She needs to get on Saturday Night Live for their fall lineup. They need the real thing, not just skits on her.
Hugs & smiles,
Lynn
From: Kim | 5/9/12 at 10:00 am
Good morning, Frenchies,
I'm so thrilled you received great news about Franny's eye! I'm also happy you have such a nice veterinarian. My doctor is very nice, too. His name is Dr. Wayne Bush and he actually travels to my town every other Wednesday in a mobile office that is even equipped for surgery. Dr. Bush's practice is certainly a blessing to this community as there are numerous pet owners here who have difficulty obtaining transportation to carry their pets out of town for routine care.
I love the photos of you girls resting. That's exactly what I'm doing today. The threatening rain has my back a bit tender, so thanks to Dr. Bush, I have medication to ease the stiffness, but like the both of you, I much prefer hunting squirrels to lying around!
XOXO,
Poco

Morning Girls, GK & Glue Squad, Can't believe it, I was all set to post and received an error also.
Hope I can remember what I said the first time. So glad everyone is feeling better; Frannie you received great news, be sure to continue to your meds. Sharkey, you will also receive great news on Friday. Love pictures #2 & #4, so polite and well mannered. Hope GK is feeling better.
. In my new training class, there is a cattle dog, and I thought of you right away, he will be a year old this week. Rebel, the laundry room??? Hope you don't have to fold clothes. Zoe, glad you haven't gotten into any trouble lately.
Maddox, please give Karen extra "cc" time & hugs for me, so sorry to hear about Sahara. Cora Belle, presents every day, how exciting is that?? - almost "sweet sixteen"
Rain today with heavy showers, so guess I will be catching up on my zzzz's.
Hi Lynn
Stay well everyone, computer time is over; I better send it before I get another error.
Till next time,
Missy Chow
xoxo
From: ABBY | 5/9/12 at 10:41 am
Good Morning Francesca, Sharkey, Lynn, Maddox, Mr.G.K. and all our glue squad buddies,
It was fun seeing you both at the vet's office getting great news about Franny's eye! Just in time for Mom's day week. I am happy Sharkey too is doing well and hope Mr. G.K. is starting to walk more comfortably on his medication for lyme disease. Dr. Jean and her staff look very friendly. I love seeing my vet Dr. Diana and she lets mom take me to work everyday.
Rebel, were you sleep walking again? Our laundry room gets nice and toasty in the winter and I like all the clean clothes in there. Zoe hope you have some sunshine today, how are those Phillies? Kirby sounds like you are having lots of barking adventures.Poco, hope your back and allergies are better soon. Cora belle, our wonder woman dog, hope you are having fun and that James is well. Nail polish does not sound like your style. Like Sharkey and Frannie I am opting to nap today before work.Love, peace and no ticks to all- Abby

Hi Girl Friends, &G.K.+Glue Squad, Hey Kirby, we are getting the '404 error' again today, also-got it twice! To get back to the blog, we clicked over to Martha's Blogs section and got back here twice right now. Very strange, so will comment quickly today! Did get to read all of your 7 comments so far and they were terrific-thanks! I am so happy that Uncle Carlos took you girls to the vet and things are getting better! I love the photos and you sure did have fun! Hope all of you have a great day and stay safe! Love, Dudley Do Right XOXOXO+
From: Sonya | 5/9/12 at 11:53 am
So glad you two are doing much better. It looks like you had the chance to play ambassadors at your vet's office. Hope G.K. is walking better as well.
Zoe glad to see you back. Still getting blog errors and loading the photos. Hope this post works!
