Breaking News!

I would like you to take a really good look at this.............

.... photo of our little Squeegie.  You can see that his fur is getting rather frazzled, his nose is wearing thin - and though it is difficult to see in this photo, his eyes are worn from being in the dryer.  Hint: click on the picture to see a larger image.  Then.....

...... take a look at this little lady. She is in pretty good condition (but, she is only 5 - Squeegie is 13!), but we noticed her neck is a little floppy and perhaps needs a bit more stuffing.  So........... after much thought and consideration........... they both went yesterday to the Teddy Bear Hospital and Spa for some tender re-conditioning.  The doctor there is called Margie and you can see some of her projects on her web-site - http://www.margiescuties.com/home.  We expect the "kids" to be away for about two weeks, which should get them back home just in time for Squeegie's birthday on Feb. 14th!  The really good thing is that Dr. Margie lives in Lakeland, FL which is only about 40 minutes away from the villa.  We are missing them madly as you can imagine, but..........

........... little Minnie is trying her best to fill in for them - and for such a little girl is doing a pretty good job.  One day down and 13 to go!
