A Place of Reflections

@danapixie  on Twitter Please meet this pixie named Dana! We all know a part of loving a pet is the excruciating heartache that happens when as a responsible pet human it is discerned the quality of life due to medical conditions for your pet will not improve and it is far kinder to assist them with a final end of life care decision. Intellectually, we are all capable of processing this, but emotionally it is still very devastating to have to let that animal go.  This was the situation we found ourselves in for our beloved dog Buddy this past week. As many of you know, we simply wanted to Celebrate Buddy's Life and Celebrate Buddy's love, a #CBL hash tag on Twitter. Never have the words "Kindness Matters" meant more to our hurting hearts than this past week.  We could never possibly find all the right words or say enough "thank yous" to Dana for her kindness to our Buddy  @3DogsWhite , Taz, Daisy and me.  ...

@Shelly338  on Twitter #Whippet Power Please meet Shelly a wonderful Whippet, a co-founder of   The Aviators Club  on Twitter.  @3DogsWhite  are members of  The Aviators.  The Aviators fly three basic types of  flight missions. A  "Porch Mission" when called for is to comfort any anipals or their pet humans in illness or crisis. A "Porch Mission" can be called for by any individual member. Over The Rainbow Bridge ~   "OTRB Tribute Missions" are flown for anipals who have made the crossing to The Rainbow Bridge. The club leadership organizes these missions. "Adventure Missions"   can be called for and done by any individual aviator. When we knew our own Buddy of @3DogsWhite earthly time was shortened and this past week was his last time to fly in physical presence with Taz and Daisy, we called upon The Aviators and all our anipals of Twitter to take an adventure and by doing so we thought it would help us...

 Buddy April 20, 2002 to June 29, 2013 As it so happens we have come upon Buddy's last few days to fly before his last great flight Over The Rainbow Bridge.  Buddy is in end stage of life. His circulatory system has slowed. He has all the indicators of impending organ failure coming upon him very soon.  He has had several difficult and extreme episodes in the past six weeks. They took a lot out of him.  He does have an extraordinary need for rest and napping throughout each day now and during the night. As much as our entire family would like to be the pet humans holding Buddy to our chests and willing him to be healed and whole, that is not the way it works. Instead, we hold Buddy to our chests daily and tell him how much we love him and how much he means to us. Veterinary consultation, family conferencing, soul searching, prayers and a lot of tears have brought us to an end of life care decision.  Buddy i...

Barkyard Drama by guest blogger DAISY of  @3DogsWhite  on Twitter Introduction ~  Hello! My name is Daisy.  I have two brothers.  Taz is my brother from the same litter. We've never been apart our entire lives. When we were adopted in late Fall of 2011 we had to stay together. The gramma and her family that adopted us were delighted with that. Gramma has some trouble remembering dates and time passages, but she thinks we were born on February 2, 2006.  Not only are we now 7 years old, we were born on Donald Driver's birthday and live in Green Bay, Wisconsin. For those of you who don't know, Donald Driver is a recently retired Green Bay Packers NFL football player and one of the most loved players in Packers history.  Taz and I are Maltese breed dogs. Buddy is our brother from another mother (and father).  Buddy is 1/2 Jack Russell Terrier and 1/2 Rat Terrier. His birthday is April 20th.  He ...

  Image Credit: Bing Images and   Because of Grace Word Press Really, having never been one for the whole New Year's Resolution(s) thingy, the mention of 'resolving(s)' at least did spark this question, I asked myself:  "If there was one thing that could be done regularly (consistently) to have a positive impact in the world in the year 2013, what would that thing be?" That answer came fairly quickly in the form of  promoting  "Kindness Matters".  I had several sources of inspiration for this. I am out there in 'social media' (i.e. Twitter) on almost a daily basis. I see a lotta baaaaad schtuff. I also see some very good, loving and KIND schtuff.  I had seen the Twitter hash tag #KindnessMatters. On several occasions I had also used the hash tag #KindnessMatters. In addition, I had also found the picture above while doing an image search for "Kindness Matters" and had used it on Twitter.  Next in...

Twitter  blessings ----> THE AVIATORS  Wednesday, July 11, 2012 the biggest twitter blessing of the week came while I was helping  Taz , Daisy and Buddy @3DogsWhite  with their twitter account. They had received a tweet from  Lolly   @LollyMadonna   about a 'memorial flight' scheduled for 5:00 PM Eastern Time. I didn't understand what that was about.  Me and the doggies stumbled upon something beautiful. Right then it was 4:00 PM Wisconsin time which is 5:00 PM Eastern time. We found THE AVIATORS   (their twitter hashtag #theaviators).   We began to see tweets and retweets happening about a flight mission, a memorial flight for all departed pets and animals who went OTRB <---   Over The Rainbow Bridge and GTRB <---- Gone To Rainbow Bridge   ~  For those of you who do not know what the concept of The Rainbow Bridge is, here is the story.

Home Dog Grooming by guest blogger TAZ of  @3DogsWhite  on Twitter Itz wuz only 10 short dayz ago I was happily standing next to my sister Daisy in the backyard on her photo shootz day. Thenz comes Sunday, July 8, 2012 ...... "OH PLEAZE, I DON'T WANTZ NO HAIRCUT" Our GK's daughter invested in a wonderful pair of pet clipperz cuz the professional doggie grooming place the last timez they uzed it rounded off  to a cost of $60.00 for one doggie.  GK's daughter made a wonderful soft baby blanket sling apparatus to keepz us safe when she workz on our heads, whiskers, ears, and trims our nails. Sunday's session was leash only out on the garage work bench. ( FREESTYLINGZ )   GK's daughter called GK in several timez to calmz me, makez me feel securez. I also called GK in several timez to make me feel even more securez. The nicest thingz about home grooming vs. professional grooming iz  GK called a FULL STOP BR...

This is a follow-up blog post to Twitter Suspended My Doggies @3DogsWhite I received notification from Twitter Support via e-mail dated Monday, April 9 at 5:11 AM (Pacific Daylight Time) that upon our appeal reviewed that @3DogsWhite were scheduled for unsuspension within 24 hours.  There was no indication of why the suspension had originally been triggered, another 'read the Twitter rules' message was included in their verbiage. When that unsuspension had not happened by the morning of Wednesday, April 11~ I sent a reply to that same ticket help number that they were still suspended. Only thing is  I got a reply back from Twitter Support saying that help ticket had been closed. So I then had to send another help request to Twitter Support that requested they were scheduled for unsuspension but had not been unsuspended yet and I made sure to include the original ticket help number .  I think I also included in that message that the Twitter Rules had been read. ...

Subtitled: So Far Not A Happy Easter Weekend Crump! Crump! Crump! (These being said in lieu of bad bad baaaaad other words, I'm a trying not to think, let alone say.) When one bad word pops up into my mind, I 'crump' it away!  Bottom line is so far I'm not having a Happy Easter weekend and it is only Saturday!  I'm about worked up to "pissedamonious" which is standard and used cuss word in this household that I feel no moral or ethical need to block from my mind or mouth. For those of you who do not follow along my blog regularly..... Pissedamonious ~ any combination percentage of beyond peeved, sanctimonious and acrimonious. It is prevalent and happens in our home, the social media, politics, and in the world at large . I first directed that word at myself early this morning upon awakening. I have put off a dental need for too long until now it is almost an emergent situation. I'm aching and in terrible pain and doing everything in my power to...

  Introducing 3DogsWhite @3DogsWhite on twitter   https://twitter.com/#!/3DogsWhite  "and the plan is there is no real plan..."  Daisy, Buddy, Taz Taz, Daisy, Buddy ~ from bottom to top their twitter profile picture Giving credit where credit is due: The first pet on twitter I can remember seeing was Tucker James @pugbeaglemix whom  Dustin (@siouxhockeyfan1 on twitter) belongs to. Dustin is a Packers fan. I follow Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Lisa Vanderpump (@LisaVanderpump on twitter), so following her Sir Giggy (@giggythepom) was a natural progression for me. Here, there and everywhere on twitter I'm seeing a veritable upward trend of pets on twitter. Well, me and my doggies wanted 'in on the trend'. We know the legion of Green Bay Packers fans have pets they adore and share pictures with us. We know the Green Bay Packers players themselves have pets they adore and share pictures with u...
