When we got home...

we had alot of unpacking to do...run the film in to print and put on cd...which they forgot to do. Then Herb had to go and get fitted for his tux for the wedding. Well that afternoon(a Tuesday) we had all gotten haircuts and was picking up a few things at Walmart. Herb grabbed his left chest area in pain. To make a long story short...he ended up at the emergency room and admitted to the hospital with blood clots in his lungs. He is now home after spending a week in the hospital. He is on medication to thin his blood and to clear up the pleuriscy. We thought the long trip had something to do with it...but he was having problems before we left and didn't say anything about it. So we are very lucky. But we'll just have to stick around here for awhile.
So now I can hopefully keep up on blogging. It's good to be home.
Thanks for visiting my blog.

We headed for Petey's cyber wife's place.

Petey was in a rock and roll band on the TC...Petey and the Petey-etts. Petey had alot of adoring fans. But one young westie gal caught his eye. Her name is Sissy. Petey had a concert in Las Vegas and Sissy met him. They eloped. That was 3 years ago and they were just cyber wife and hubby with a cyber wedding and adventures. Well they finally got to meet in person. You could see that they knew...they just knew.

We arrived at Betty's and the Oregon Girlies on a Thursday afternoon. The Girlies and our furkids had a great time getting to know each other.

Then on Friday we got to meet another TC er...Kay and Elliott. Everyone got along just great. They had so much fun checking out each other and Betty's garden.

Our next fun project was getting all 8 westies to sit and pose for us. As you can see it wasn't an easy time of it...

The natives are getting restless. Oh No!!!!! They're leaving!!!!!!! But we did get a really good picture of them all sitting and looking at the same time. What a job it was...but no treats or velcro was used.

We had just a super great time...and before we knew it ...time to head for home. Betty and the Oregon Girlies were great hostesses. Petey loved meeting his cyber wife, Sissy. And I loved meeting a dear friend that I met on the Terrier Club. As friends we have gone through alot just in cyber space. It was a dream come true to meet in person. We hope to make another big adventure out to Oregon someday. It is a beautiful place!!!!!

We saw some beautiful waterfalls

Here is a picture of Herb and the 3 pupsters in front of the Horsetail Falls sign. And a picture of Horsetail Falls. I was close enough I could feel the mist and a cool breeze. I was so excited. I have only seen waterfalls on TV.

Here is another one. This one is Multnomah Falls. It is in Oregon's Columbia River Gourge National Scenic Area. There is a path that you walk up to the bridge. It is just breathtaking.

Sweetie is a stinker...

Here is a post of our silly Sweetie trying to get a drink from the T bowl at a motel. We had a dish of water for her but I guess she preferred the T bowl. Not too shabby for a pupster that can only see shadows.

Meeting TC friends...

We met R Gang and their owners Fran and Duane. They have a wonderful place where R Gang and our furkids ran and played. We didn't think DJay would ever wear out. He ran and ran and played. He did sleep good that night. It is out in the country and so peaceful and relaxing for us humans anyway..
Here is a picture of 7 westies plus one friend. If I remember this right...from left to right it's Rudy, Princess, Petey, Rainey, Rocky, Sweetie, DJay, and Rose. The Swinging Seven Plus One.
Then the next day we went to Bandon and met Val and Mac. We walked on the beach and had lunch at a very nice restaurant called the The Boathouse. We could sit and look out the window at a lighthouse. After lunch, Val and Mac had to get going. Fran and the R Gang headed for their place and we checked out some of the wonderful shops in Bandon. We found out that later after we had left there was a tsunami warning issued and Bandon was evacuated. Boy was that close. From left to right...Val and Mac, me(trying to get my three to look at the camera), Fran and Duane with the R gang, and Angela.














Here are some of the other pics trying to get a good one of all of us...




So you can see we all had a wonderful time...hehehehehehehe!!!!
We absolutely loved meeting Fran and Duane. Many times Fran and I have chatted in a chatrooom. We discovered that we were both Norwegians. That was fun. It was a super great time meeting them and getting to hug in person and not just through the computer. It was a dream come true. They are wonderful folks and westie lovers just like us.

We've been on vacation

We had a wonderful vacation. We drove out to the Oregon Coast to meet some special TC friends. The coast is just breathtaking...
We saw alot of the ocean which I just love.



This is a picture of Devil's Punchbowl. It's a cave that was formed when the ceilings of two caves caved in forming one big cave. The ocean waves come crashing in two entrances.


We saw wonderful things. Here is a pic of the Columbia River Gourge...


.


We stopped at The University of Oregon's Marine and Science Center. Angela got to touch sea urchines, sea anemones, and star fishes. They also have an octopus that you can stick your hand in his tank and let him feel you. But he was asleep and they DO NOT wake up a sleeping octopus!

We also stopped at Sea lion Caves. But there was too many steps for Angela to go down so we stayed at the top and tried to see the sea lions. If you look real close you can see a brown dot...that is a sea lion.



One day of travel we saw the elk grazing along the roadside. They are Roosevelt Elk at Dean Creek which is a refuge near Reedsport. Alot of cars stopped along the roadside to take pictures and just to watch.

We made it through DJay's

2nd birthday. The old wife's tale is that by the 2nd birthday, your puppy is suppose to settle down. Hahahahaha...not our DJay. Turning 2 for him meant to zoom more. He just loves to come in from outside and pick on Petey and Princess and start a wrestling match. So that's what has been going on today. DJay on the go. He did take a short 5 minute power nap this morning. But now I think he went back outside again. What a little go getter.
The furkids got pudding with their supper last night. They really enjoyed it. So DJay had a memorable birthday.
We are having a beautiful day here. The sun is shining and it's going to be in the 80's. So I better get busy and get Angela's room straightened up. I think I can safely switch over to summer clothes.
Hope you are having a great day!!!!

It's a big day

It's DJay's 2nd birthday. The morning has started out with him running around and barking. He must know that today is his day. He grabbed a toy and was shaking it when it went flying over his shoulder. He stood there with a funny look on his face...hmmmmmmm, where did it go? Pretty soon he looked behind him and there it was. So he growled at it, shook it, and threw it up again. What a funny game he plays.
So far he has gotten a Meaty Bone Chewlotta. I think that should keep him busy for a very long time. He growls at it because he's mad...he can't make a dent in it. Give him time and he will. We will have a special supper and then all the furkids will get some doggie pudding and Frosty Paws for birthday dessert.
Will probably blog more later. Have a great day.
