Happy 4th of July!

Wow, I can't believe Short Tails of Suki is two year old today! Celebrating Freedom was my very first post. Being something new and never blogged before, it was a must to include my best friend, (aka, my bestie), Brandy. My first post only had one comment, guess who it was from? The one and only Puglet!

This picture makes me smile & sad at the same time. Mom's eyes leak, but she smiles at the same time too. Just last July, I lost my bestie to the stupid "C" word. Brandy had bad, bad heart cancer (Hemangiosarcoma).

What makes us smile is that she is no longer in pain and frolicking in heaven with my friend Payton teaching her to swim, just like she taught me. One day, we will all meet again. Brandy & I had awesome adventures that are priceless & will always have a special place in our hearts.

Enough with the leaking eyes, time to put my big girl panties on and celebrate the 4th of July! Puggies, don't melt in the heat, humans stay safe, buckle up when traveling.

To all the military men, women and military doggies, as well as their supporting families, Mom & I send a very sincere THANK YOU for all you do!

Happy 4th of July!

  1. Happy 2nd Blogversary! July 4th will always be special to me. 16 years ago, Tim proposed. And 1 year ago, I met two very special ladies for the first time.

      Noodle - if you met Brandy in the fur, she would have you swimming in no time my friend.

    We will always remember our furry friends that have gone on to the Rainbow Bridge before us...it makes our eyes leak, too.

    Happy a great 4th!

    1. Hi Minnie, Mack & Mario,

      I'm keeping my paws crossed that Mario doesn't try to eat any more wicker baskets & his future forever home applicants work out.

      Please send a thank you to your human brother for his service.

      Hugs,
      Suki

    1. Hi SFP,
      Happy 4th to you all too. Wish I could go swimming, but the temps are pug melting. No outside adventures unless at the break of dawn. Texas-summer-hibernation process has commenced.

      Hugs,
      Suki

  8. Happy 4th to you, too, Suki! Sorry I'm a little delayed. I'm working at getting caught up with all my friend's blogs now that we're done moving (still unpacking though!). Sounds like Brandy was a good friend and is definitely missed. Although, like you said, she's not in pain now and is probably hanging out with Payton, being taught new ways to obtain treats. Hope you stay cool during this HEAT WAVE!

    -Love,
    Sid.

    I'm sorry about Brandy, the photo is amazing, you both look incredible and patriotic!
    I miss all those who have crossed the rainbow bridge, especially sweet Payton, she was one of my fave bloggers and she always made me smile!
    Love to you all, forever in our hearts!
