| Finally! Back online as of this evening! Wow, did I ever enjoy seeing all your new puppies! What a family you have now!! You must be up to your knees in puppies! We are finally all moved, our pastor up here, and his wife, helped us unload our last truck full. Here is a picture of my dear Sydney as we were packing the truck down-state: |
| Dear Susan, and did very well, she has gained 2 1/2 lbs. Dr. Tim gave her the first of 3 place to help guard against loss...so now she is trackable by satellite. Dr. Tim said Bonny would be a little tired today because of her shot...but he must have given her go go juice instead as she has been flying around the house with super energy...hahaha. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that she is doing super, and we love her more each day. Have a wonderful day, Love in our Savior, Sharon |
| So glad to hear from you. Bonny Wee-Lass is doing very well. She had her last puppy shot and first rabies shot at the vet on January 2nd and he is very, very pleased with her growth and weight. The only problem we have had is a little yeast in the ears which we are on drops and solution for now...plus she had a wee urine infection show up on the second trip to the vet, which he gave her pills for and has since cleared up. We weighed her this morning and she weighed in at 13 1/2 pounds. She has a good appetite, probably because she walks to the post office everyday which is one mile, then she goes out into the fenced in yard and races around, and around and around and around and around....well, you get the picture. The vet says that it is very apparent that she is very healthy, and very, very happy. She is completely house broken...except for the excited widdle that she does when friends come which we are at a loss to break her of...we have heard that cockers are prone to that, but neither of our other two cockers never exhibited that behavior. Bonny is being home schooled and has learned to sit, sit/stay, lay down, shake hands, sit-up and beg and take her treats "nice" instead of lunging for them. Sydney is in the process of teaching her to "heel" on our walks. Bonny is full of energy...nap times are becoming a thing of the past...except for after a long walk and run. She had her first time alone in the back-seat of the car when we drove to town yesterday and was a perfect little lady. The only time she cried was Sydney...then she cried a little when Sydney went into the store to buy milk and she was left with me, but she remained calm and a good girl. brushed every day, although she hates to sit through her grooming sessions...she would rather be playing. She sleeps through every morning until we get up at 8:30...praise the Lord. She does have a strong willed nature and hates it when she doesn't get her way and tends to sass, but that will pass as she matures... NO is not her favorite word! She is also has a very loving nature and loves to snuggle when 'she' feels like doing so! Ha ha ha. Of course, she is still a puppy and loves to get into mischief. She is an instant friend to everyone she meets, and all of our friends love her! She absolutely adores the snow and loves to romp in it until she is fully caked! She also loves to go out onto the deck and sit for long periods just watching the traffic out on M28...I think she would sit there for hours if we would let her, which is kind of spooky for me cause my Dad's favorite pass time was sitting on a porch and watching the traffic go by! Bonny also has a quirky way of studying things. She will sit for the longest time and study our face and our eyes, which can be quite unnerving. She will sit and study my hands as I knit (then lunge for the yarn). Any 'new thing' comes under her serious scrutiny. She also just learned of the joy of POPCORN. I can just forget trying to sneak a snack from now on, because Bonny LOVES popcorn! She has to have two or three kernels to satisfy her longing. However, she does not beg for food during our meal times. She lays quietly at/on our feet while we are eating at the supper table. Our life has been renewed by our Bonny, and refreshed! If we were getting to used to retiring to our rockers in this our golden years...Bonny has changed that mind-set! Every minute of every day is a new adventure with Bonny, and we are so blessed to be a part of that adventure! Well, I think that brings you pretty much up to date...I think you have this latest picture, but I am not sure so will send along. Have a wonderful day, Your cocker family members, Pastor Syd, Sharon and Bonny Wee-Lass |
| Hi again Sue, The full moon is out peeking in the window and boy is it cold! Our toilet in the back bathroom electric heater aimed right at it to try to warm it up. This freezing weather doesn't seem to bother Bonny...we have never had a "snow" dog before, but Bonny sure is one. Well, guess we will go join Sydney in the living room in front of the fireplace...it is almost time for popcorn...and can't you just hear Bonny yelling hooray? Love you lots, S&S |

| High Calling Cockers Bonny Wee Lass |

| Dearest Susan, Bonny loves to sit up on my lap at the computer, and when she see's you and or any of the dogs, her ears perk up and she studies the pictures with silent, rapt concentration, and today when I went to your site she saw her own picture and she actually yipped and wanted to lick the monitor. People call them dumb dogs...ha! She went on another walk today, and I cannot express enough how much this puppy loves snow!!! She goes into total bliss while wading through the frozen stuff! I guess the good Lord picked the right family for her when He blessed us with her...cause the UP of MI is noted for SNOW! We love you. Sharon |
| Hi Momma Susan, It's me...the 'peanut' Bonny. I just came in from the snow, me and Dad went for our walk and Momma Sharon says I look like a snowball cause I have sooooo much clinging to me...hee hee. I have been learning how to It's me...the 'peanut' Bonny. I just came in from the snow, me and Dad It's me...the 'peanut' Bonny.

Anyway, here is my I gotta run to the kitchen cause I heard Dad say the word 'lunch' and that means FOOD! Bye Bye, I love you...Bonny Wee-Lass |

| This is the one where Bonny is "talking" to me in the computer room, she always insists that she be up on my lap during computer sessions and if not she "tells" me just what she thinks of me...ha ha. |

He says I am we are going to visit something called a droppin' they better get me a new one...I don't like having some ole teeth out of my mouth, and Dad says how my coat put on for a walk, but then when we walk pretty my brand new teeth look. He says I am through all that white stuff I am glad Dad put it growing out of my fancy winter snow coat and on me cause it's c-c-c-c-old! My tail would get froze to my behinder if I didn't wag it all the time. Dad says I am the tail-waginest dog he's ever seen! Mom & Dad was lookin' at pictures on dad Mikey, and Dad said to Mom it was just like lookin' at me...so I guess I'll do pretty good, cause they was smilin'. Well, Mom says it's time for me to go to bed, but when I get growed up I will stay up as long as I want to! Bye, bye and I love you...Bonny Here's my shaggy picture: |

| Dear Momma Sue, rode nestled down on my blankets. I made my own bed on the floor in the back seat of the car. Momma Sharon and me water and food every time we stopped and I went for walks at the place called "Rest Areas". Then we stayed in a strange place called a 'motel'. It had all kinds of strange smells, but I never barked or howled once, but I cried a little when I had to learn to use my new portable crate to sleep in, while Momma and Dad had that big comfortable bed. I told them they should share with me, but they wouldn't. And guess what Sue, while I was getting beautified, Mom and Dad went and bought a new house and we are going to be moving...what's moving? Any way, they say I will love the new house down-state...and when I get it figured out I will let you know what it all means and if I like it or not. I am getting soooooo sleepy, I guess I will ask Mom to tuck me in early...I love you, Bonny PS Here I am below, with Joyce the groomer lady, don't I look pretty? |
| write you a letter with Daddy Syd's ole pen, and sneaked up on his chair, grabbed it and then Momma Sharon busted me! |
| took a clothes pin out of my mouth just the other day, and Momma found me with a cookie cutter just yesterday...and won't you just know it...they take em' away just when I get to chewin' real good! Why is it Daddy Syd and Momma Sharon keep takin' all my treasures away!! Dad Momma Sue, that everything I love...they tell me it's bad for me??? What's bad anyway? I just love havin' fun...I have chewed Daddy Syd's galoshes, his mittens, his new knit cap, Momma's socks (I always help take things out of the dryer) tee-hee...it's so much fun to get them to chase me all over the house. write and tell you to come get me....then they'll be sorry! Then I can help you with your laundry..bet you'd let me chew on your clothes pins! Momma Sharon says if I don't behave she will pack me in a box and mail me back to you...but she always says that with a grin on her face, so I guess she doesn't really mean it! I love you...bye Bonny Wee-Lass |
| wonderful toy to toss in the air...over and over, she never tires of this game: |





| She see's the fly! |
| She thinks she has it! |
| Darn mom, it got away! |
| I think I see it outside! |
| Can we go get it??? |

| your house when I were a baby...now I'm all growed up...well Momma Sharon says not quite all the way, but I'm getting a big girl I am. Daddy Syd says I will be 9 months old in a couple of days...and guess what I can do...I can be "trusted" now...what's "trusted" Momma Sue? Any ways, my folks can go to church or lunch or dinner away from home and I get to stay out of my dumb ole crate all by myself! I don't chew the furniture or notin! Momma Sharon still gets my help takin stuff out of the big warm thing called a dryer, and I drop my ball in there and then steal daddy Syd's socks so's they'll chase me. I carry my ball all over the house and never drop it. How is my doggie mom Sophie? Momma Sharon says I am going to have some half brothers and sisters soon...how come? I ain't never seen a half dog before. Oh, and I am sending you my 9mo picture...see me? I weigh 20 pounds...whatever that means! I can shake hands, sit pretty and beg, rollover, sit and stay and bring my ball to dad when he throws it down the yard. You tell all them people out there I am a good dog and they would love one just like me...cause I am sweet (most times)tee, hee. I like to give kisses, and snuggle on laps. I am sittin on Momma Sharon's lap right now, and want to get down...bye...I love you. Bonny |


| My mom is finally back "on-line", and I am sending you a picture of me and dad by the great big truck that moved me and my folks from the UP of Michigan to here...mom and dad call this place Martin. I don't care what they call it as long as I have my stuff. Guess what Momma Sue...I gotta new dish that is pink with roses all over it, but my food tastes just the same...tee, hee. I never sleep in that dumb ole crate anymore, I have a fleecy white bed right next to the big ole bed they won't let me in! I sleep good all night. Well, that is all for now, cause daddy Syd wants me to go outside with him for a potty visit before bed...night...I love you, Bonny Wee-Lass |

| We had that 24 foot truck packed to the gills! Bonny is glad to be back home in the UP, and rejoices in being able to gallop around her fenced back yard once more! She has a new wee friend who lives next door. Her friend is a beagle/pug mix puppy and the two of them love to have fence races, each on their own side....up and down, up and down. Here is a picture of Bonny after such a race.... |
| She was completely exhausted and very content to sleep even on the rungs of the office chair. She appears to be so happy to be back at her first home! |
