Oliver - October 2010

Oli - enjoying the warmth of the sun

Big yawn there Oli Boo!

Oli... looks so cute

Beautiful Oli Boo!

Awwwwwwww......

"I feel a sneeze coming on"!!!

Another big yawn!

This is from our good friend (and the boys vet):

“Here is my take on the matter:
Since Bodi’s injury, there has been some disruption to the dominance hierarchy in your household. I think Bodi’s behavior represents his attempt to re-establish his dominance. As long as no body is getting hurt, I would give it some time and let them work it out without your intervention. If the fighting occurs in your presence, let both dogs know that YOU are the top dog in the household. Put them both in their place and demand that they acquiesce to YOU.
— Dr. B”

Things are getting better slowly, there is still a bit of tension between them at times, but they are playing together more, allowing themselves to be together at times, and the hair takes a little longer to raise up.  A large part of the problem seems to be Oliver’s total lack of fear when it comes to pushing in front of Bodi to get his portion of love and petting, as expected, Bodi gets pissed at these times.  Before all of this happened Bodi would let Oli do this, but now he is quicker to lay into him.

Today Bodi and Oliver played in the yard for quite a while, as usual Bodi spends way too much time barking at Oliver, but Oliver’s speed keeps him out of reach (the benefit of being 15lbs. lighter LOL).

On the walks both are working towards backing each other up – watch out lizards.

We feel it will still take a while to get back to normal, but with a bit of work and controlling the energy everything will get better and these two pains in the butt will be living the good life again.

Tucker and Rowdy... Beautiful

Tucker and Rowdy… brothers, born in 1997… have both moved on to the Rainbow Bridge.  Rowdy crossed the RB in March 2008 and Tucker in August 2009.  Tuck and Rowdy were both from the same litter… Russet Leather Rawhide.

They loved to play together and often displayed that youthful exuberance, exhibiting the famous Vizsla “brain cramps”!  We always thought that they were crazy dogs!  Ha!  That

Playful pups!

they were…

We miss them both very much and wanted to send them love, kisses and many, many blessings!

Enjoy the pics!

Beautiful Boys

Puppy Rottie

Patti & Matt had taken her in, to comfort her.. after losing their 11 year old Rottie, Jessica.  So they have suffered two losses in the past year, plus the loss of Tucker, as they knew Tucker very well.  Tucker and Jessica had been good friends for many years!  My love goes out to Patti and Matt.. “I love you both… and take comfort in knowing that Jill is with Jessica and Tucker right now and they are free and healthy!

To Streak’s parents, Andrea & Rob… we all feel the pain of your loss and we do know what

Beautiful Streak

you are going through right now.  Please accept this post as our tribute to Streak (as well as Jill) and to you guys and Magnum as well.  The love of our dogs is endless… endless.  That love will go on forever, trust me.  I still feel Tucker’s presence here, very strongly.  Tuck has been gone for 10 months now and  I know that he is still with us, in our hearts and will be forever.  I know that you cannot reach out and touch Streak, but know that in your hearts, he is with you and will be forever.  Streak is no longer in pain and no longer suffering… and HE knows that you did all that you could do for the little guy.  Let his love carry you through… and let the love of Magnum embrace your soul and keep you safe.

Tucker's Urn... "If Tears Could Build a Stairway, and Memories a Lane, I Would Walk Right Up to Heaven, and Bring You Back Again".

The love of our dogs will go on forever… Please, as you read this post, I know that it will bring tears to your eyes, but also, let the love and comfort of your friends warm your hearts and get you through…

This is the saying that is etched on Tucker’s urn… “If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I would walk right up to heaven, and bring you back again”.   I know that this is how you feel about Streak (and to Patti and Matt, how you feel about Jill and Jessica).

God bless you all… and know that we are here for you!

With love,

Jim, Nancy, Bodi & Oliver Morrison

Welcome to the famous, doggie wrestling ring (OUR bed).   “Here we have the “Bodacious” Bodi, weighing in at a whopping 62lbs!  And in this corner (my pillow), we have “Little” Oliver, the defending light weight champion, weighing in at 45lbs.  With Bodi having almost 20lbs on little Oli, can Oliver win this match and keep the championship title?… and there they go!  Bodi, pouncing on Oli full force… but Oli is fast and extremely agile… as he slides out from under Bodi, he leaps over the top and has Bodi in his famous “Oli hold” (front leg on the chest).   As Bodi lies there underneath Oli, pinned down, Bodi pulls his famous move on Oil… “The Bodaaaay Mouth Grip”.  There he goes folks, he’s got his whole mouth around Oli’s neck!  Oli is retaliating… snarling and showing all teeth, the Boadster backs off… they jump out of the ring, wrestling, snarling, growling.  It’s getting intense folks!  And there they go… they jump back in the ring, full force!  Jumping all over the ring… now they’re up on their two hind legs!  Now they are punching and grabbing each other, throwing each other to the ground!  who will when this match?  Stay tuned for further coverage of this intense wrestling match!

Whew… the refs (mom and dad) need a little break!!

Oliver and Bodi, caught by the sunbeam

Ah yes… this is such a sweet scene!  After a nice morning walk on the trails with mom and dad… a morning of playing hard… chasing each other throughout the house, running up and down the stairs, (at least a thousand times),  playing tug-a-war with every toy they can possibly get their paws on, and of course, tearing it to pieces.

Sweet... sunbeam dreams... our little angels!

A nice breakfast, followed by a couple of treats… they run back upstairs to catch the sunbeam and now it’s time to rest (so they can have the energy to do it all over again)!

“Dog naps” are definitely underrated!

Yes… this is a “Dog’s Life” indeed!!!

Beautiful Tucker

I just wanted to write a little something… in honor of Tucker.  Today marks the 6 month anniversary of Tucker’s passing.  I am still so very sad.. to this day.  I miss our little guy so much and it still hurts as if it we had just lost him yesterday.

They say that time heals all wounds… and I know that eventually, this wound will heal.  But right now, I still feel that… the longer he is gone, the more I miss him.  He was the puppy love of our lives… and we had such an incredible bond with this dog!

Tucker... sweet, happy dog!

Tucker was the epitome of love, caring, sweetness, affection… I could go on and on.  Yes… “caring”! Most people would not describe their dogs or pets as “caring”.  But Tucker truly cared for everyone.  He had such a love of live, his family and friends.  He worried so much about all of us.  He was… “Mr. Sensitive”!  God… how I miss that!  How I miss every part and everything about Tucker.

He touched many, many lives.  When people came over, he was so excited and so thrilled to have visitors!  He loved all of his doggie friends.  He watched out for all of them… especially in his later years.  He felt the need to keep things calm… whenever there were any “issues” amongst his friends.  And they all respected that… they all respected Tucker.  It was beautiful to see this.

To Tuck:  As I write this post… the tears welling up in my eyes… I am thinking about you, sweet Tucker, and sending my love to you in heaven.  I look forward to seeing your beautiful face, when it is time to meet at the Rainbow Bridge!  I love you, I miss you and I will always cherish you and the wonderful life that you gave us while you were here on earth.  Miss you sweet Tuck… sending you kisses right now!!

Who's that good looking puppy?!!

And…  I hope that you are having the time of your (after) life with Rowdy, Ritzie, Vixen, Jessica, Marley and Brandy!!  Oh… and the cats too, Arthur, Lumpy, Sammy & Sylvester!  Hope you are not terrorizing the cats too much!

May God rest your sweet, beautiful soul.

Love,

Mommy, Daddy & Bodi
