Me & Dad

Hi everyone, Tasha and Eva's Dad here. I would like to start by thanking every pup, kitty, hammy and human for all of the prayers, kind words, and encouragement that have come our family's way since Tasha's trip to the Rainbow Bridge. I have finally gotten the courage to read all the comments and see all the tributes that our fabulous friends have written. I must say that the outpouring of love and support is unbelievable. All of you have made this extremely difficult time easier to bear. Knowing how much Tasha was loved by people that have never met her makes me feel like Vicky and I may have come close to showing what a wonderfully beautiful soul our Tasha girl was. Thank you all once more so very, very much for your kind words of support and encouragement.

Our neighbors are here for us, too. Our good friend Cheryl from down the street had this made for us.

What a wonderful gesture, thanks Cheryl. Cheryl helped us when we first brought Eva home by coming by while Vicky and I were at work to let the young pup out to do her business.

Eva seems to be doing better. She was off her food for a few days, but now she is eating everything again. You can tell that she misses big sister, though. Poor girl is lonely, but I'm doing my best to entertain her while I'm home. I think she loves the extra attention. Oh, what the heck, I should turn it over to Eva since this is her blog. Thanks once more to all our fantastic friends who are so understanding of the puppy freaks that we are.

Hey, furkids, Eva here. (Finally. That Dad of mine can get kinda long-winded!). Well, it has been a very strange week for me. First the Momma and the Dad came home without Tasha and they got my fur all full of leaky eye and nose stuff. Then we went to a new dog park that just opened not too long ago. I think Momma told you about that trip already. I did a good job of sticking up for myself when another dog thought he could scare me! The humans were very proud of me. I guess I can be tough when I need to be.

Tasha has told me that I have to be the big girl of the family now, so I have to do a lot of things that I haven't done before. Here I am saying goodbye to Dad as he leaves for work.

(Dad here again. Tasha would always go to the top of the stairs in the foyer to see me off to work. Eva would come by once in a great while, but she has been there every day this week to say goodbye.)

Another new job of mine is to protect Dad when he goes to get the mail. This is a very hard job, cuz you never know when a squirrel or bunny would want to steal our mail. I'm such a good girl that Momma and Dad trust me off-leash out in the front yard.

Then it was time to check on the new flowers.

A close-up of MEEE! and the flowers. (Sorry Pippa's Mistress, the flowers are small and the mulch won't be refreshed until the rest of the flowers are in. We'll show them again when it's done.)

I also get to hang out with Dad in the garage! Here is me and Dad's motorcycle. I know right away when Dad is home when he rides this somewhere.

This is great, Dad! HIGH 4!!!!

I am also taking the guarding of my territory very seriously as you will see in this video. Be sure that the volume is up so you can hear the ferocious defending of my turf.

Did you notice the talent that I displayed? I can bark with my ball in my mouth. If that doesn't scare off any intruder, I don't know what will! I guess that is about all for today. I really miss my big sister, but it sure helps to have so many great friends out there to keep me company. (And I have been getting spoiled rotten by the humans!)

Belly Rubs, Eva.
