Welcome, 2013

Another year gone by.  Another New Year's Eve has past.

Here's how it went down at Mercy's foster home.

Also...

Additional late night celebration with her foster brother, Colby.

Happy New Year!

 

Should old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind.
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang syne.

 

Snow

Frozen precipitation in the form of white or translucent

hexagonal ice crystals that fall in soft, white flakes.

Snow!!

Oh, happy day.

:)

 

Merry Christmas!

Scampering and cheer. 

It doesn't get any better than that.

Merry Christmas, Mercy!

 

 

Secret Santa!

Our friends at French Bulldog Rescue Network are at it again.  That's right,

each year at Christmas time volunteers gather all kind of goodies

for gifting special care packages to each frog in the entire foster roster. 

Here's just one happy picture showing  how very 

exciting it can be for the Secret Santa recipient.

Mercy is part of it too.  She and her best pal, FBRN grad. Brook, helped choose a little a' this & a little a' that to be delivered to a foster frenchie nearby.  Be sure to have a look at all of Santa's little helpers at FBRN's facebook page...  Secret Santa 2012.  You may even find a picture of the Harvey Manor elves (Mercy and Brook!).

Feeling fine

All of the sudden and out of the blue, little Mercy-bear showed some lameness and significant discomfort at her right front leg.  Always at the ready for addressing whatever is needed of their charge, her foster home took action. 

Medicines were administered, a rest day was put in play and guess what?

Mercy is feeling fine!

 All better.

Fine, fine, fine!

Ah, ha, ha, ha...

Mercy and her foster sister, Brook, enjoy each other immensely. 

Brook, Brook-Brook, the Brookie Monster

is a frenchie (about the same size as Mercy)

and a French Bulldog Rescue Network graduate.
Both girls have overcome mobility issues and
get along just swell, each with a unique gait
that is theirs alone.  Nothing but cute.

Behind you, Brook, BEHIND YOU!!

Mine!

 

 

We've said it before and we'll say it again,

Mercy loves her fancy orthopedic bed.

She knows it is hers and don't try telling her otherwise.

Here she is AH-sleep.

This is how she does it.

Sweet dreams, little alligator.
