Emma Rose

It is with a heavy heavy heart that I bear this news. On Wednesday we lost our beautiful, beloved Queen Emma Rose. There was no warning. We were not prepared emotionally, although we knew someday she would leave us. She was healthy, bouncy, bubbly and totally normal right up to the last hour of her life. Losing her was like having ourEmma Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16687752178033531295noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1603010734527837908.post-45238149940517081452019-01-01T07:32:00.000-08:002019-01-01T07:32:36.918-08:00Happy New Year!
It's ME! Emma Rose!
I know it's been so long you probably don't know if I'm still around, but I am. Still running like the wind at 13 years old. And I'm still the Queen of my Castle. The kingdom has changed a bit over time. My subjects come and go, but I am still reigning supreme.
Don't I look stunning with silver furs? Most of my subjects are green with Emma Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16687752178033531295noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1603010734527837908.post-81295146588195344232015-12-22T02:00:00.000-08:002015-12-22T02:00:00.491-08:00Still Sparkling At Ten
Hello my friends. Today I celebrate my 10th birthday.
And, if I do say so myself, I'm looking pretty fabulous for my age!
My furs are a smidge more silver as the years go by, but I'm as soft and fluffy as ever.
And I'm still waiting for snow. . .
I'm sure it will come someday.
And Mr. Higgins is still pestering me. He's all grown up now, but he doesn't know it.
We have Emma Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16687752178033531295noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1603010734527837908.post-31676242036941797332013-12-22T14:40:00.002-08:002013-12-22T14:40:54.896-08:00Eight Years of Royalty
They say today is my birthday. I don't feel any older, so it must be a mistake.
Cookies? Oh, YES it must be the Royal Birthday!
I can sit nice if you need me to....
Cookies are a favorite of mine, you know.
Maybe a little silver here and there, but still a Queen.
Guess who else is Eight Years Old today!
The Grand Son!!!

Sir Bear
June 9, 2000 - May 16, 2013
Our beloved Sir Bear has crossed the Rainbow Bridge.
We will miss him every day for the rest of our lives.
He gave us so much.
There is so much to say about this fine gentle dog,
but our hearts are sorely hurting and the words are too fractured.
Run free our sweet boy. We love you.
Thank you,
from Bear's family.

Life at the Castle has slowed down a bit. Sir Bear is still on his feet (well, he does lay down any chance he gets), but we don't know for how long. The Vet says he is only using his front legs to get around, as there is no muscle left in the back legs. He uses them for balance, and sometime they slideEmma Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16687752178033531295noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1603010734527837908.post-25504813285252573632012-04-09T05:35:00.001-07:002012-04-09T05:35:54.488-07:00Hanging Out With Harriet Not much going on around here.

We had a bit of snow.
Not enough to play in, but enough to make us smile.
I went outside to check the girls
and the snow was nowhere to be found.
I finally found a bit in the garden.
Higgins should have been named Pig Pen.
See how dirty he is?
There's my girls.
Looks like they're having a pow wow.

We have taken your advice and have switched to Google Chrome. So far , so good! We also have a new battery for the camera - FINALLY!!!! Hopefully we will be taking pictures again soon. We are having quite a rain storm here, so there isn't much chance of getting outside. But the Duchess is on furlough next week so maybe we'll get lucky and have a break in the rain.

First I want to let you know that Sir Bear is doing marvelous on his new medication. He is getting around without trouble and seems to be pain free. Thank you for your well wishes.
You may have noticed that we don't post very often anymore. We don't mean to be gone so long each time but circumstances keep getting in the way of posting. So, rather than having Emma Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16687752178033531295noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1603010734527837908.post-68852245972892208452011-09-02T20:38:00.000-07:002011-09-02T20:38:33.966-07:00Same Old Same Old
We were sailing along, just enjoying our summer weather when BOOM, Bear hurt his back / hips. He had a muscle spasm in his back and ended up hurting something. He cried. It was terribly sad. So, The Duke had to put him to bed because Bear could not sit down or lay down by himself. We doubled his Vetprofen (Rimadyl) to see if that would help him sleep.
It was a long Emma Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16687752178033531295noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1603010734527837908.post-32568031525662134882011-08-25T19:38:00.000-07:002011-08-25T19:38:04.591-07:00And Then. . .We had a trailer tire going flat so we stopped off at Les Schwab on our way to Washington State. The nice man said it was a faulty stem and then he fixed it for free! When the Duke thanked him he smiled and said "Enjoy your vacation!". Wow. There are still some really nice people out there. He must have dogs at home :)
So off we went to Cascade Locks, Emma Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16687752178033531295noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1603010734527837908.post-24052603015221863252011-08-22T20:24:00.000-07:002011-08-22T20:33:05.349-07:00Dog Creek Trail
Down past the fish hatchery is a trail to the river. It's called Dog Creek Trail. It is really beautiful.
So let's get started! Just follow Sir Bear and he will lead you to the trail.
Oh look, we beat him there. He's an old slow poke you know. That's cause he's just plain old. He likes to stop and smell the roses. And the leaves. And the dirt.

They grow Salmon there. Okay, it's a bit more complicated than that but it boils down to the same thing. They are like a fish maternity ward - sort of...

As you know we went on a week long trip with the Granddaughter, Lady G. When we got back the Duchess wasn't feeling too great and then we had computer troubles on top of that. So, WE ARE SO GLAD TO BE HERE NOW!!!!
On to the camping story!
We are going to break this up into several posts because there is just too much to tell. We went back to the park with the Bat Nursery and Emma Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16687752178033531295noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1603010734527837908.post-85878328194611452132011-08-09T20:15:00.000-07:002011-08-09T20:15:15.670-07:00Just So You KnowWe did go camping, and we plan to tell you all about it. However, the Duchess is having some muscle pain in her neck and shoulder from working at a computer all day. As soon as it calms down a bit she will help me do the camping trip post.
Thank you for your understanding!
