Castaway Returns?

So, umm, yeah. You know that movie where that mailman gets on the big flying car/plane thing, then it goes all BOOM! in the water and he is left on an island and all he haz to keep him company is a ball named Wilson and he's gone for like FOREVER but he decides to chance it, meets a whale and makes it home and everybody is happy ever after?
 

Well, my long absence is just like that, minus the plane, and the island and the whale. But I'm pretty sure there was a ball involved...

I'm back. Don't ask why I hasn't been around. I honestly couldn't tell you, I was stuck on an island, remember? Let's go with that. A lot has happened in the last (gasp) almost two years, so I'll give you a top three run down. If any of my friends is still out there, know that I have kept up with you, but I didn't have a keyboard on the island. I've seen some friends we've lost and we has been sending hugs and prayers to their families.



1. Bald puppy is a much larger bald puppy..with a little less baldness.

But he and I are still BFF! FOREVER! We has all kinds of shenanigans we get into!! And he can kinda talk, which makes it interesting to say the least.

2. Duncan turned 16 this year!!!

My doggie mind cannot even comprehend how old this is in people years...like a gabillion!?!? We've had a few health scares (that turned out to not be too scary) in the last year, and I'm sure I'll talk about that laters. 

3. We lost Simon.

This was a hard one. Especially for mom. Six months after we lost Alley Cat over the Bridge, Simon got very very very sick. Mom and dad let us say our goodbyes, and took Simon to Dr. Vet where mom held him as she said goodbye too. It's been about a year now since Simon left and mom still gets all watery-eyed over it if she thinks about it. Simon was her Boo. She had him longer than Dad! 

Dr. Vet thinks it was the evil Big C in the end. But we knows he's with Alley now, so all is good!

And there's been  all kinds of other stuffs. Like, we all went to North Carrylina for our annual family vacation last year! And we're going again this year! And dad is back in school, and mom started a side business for fun and we got a new family member (there's a hint to that in this post! Muwhahahaha) and so much more! Whew, maybe that's why I've been lazy and not posting err...been trapped on a desert island! 

Anyhoo, I is back. So if you remembers me, say hey! If you don't....say hey anyway. I'm cool, I promise!! :)
