More great pictures, Barry!! I would love to know how you make Fritz sit up and beg like that. It's such a good trick. He really does always look like he just left the groomer's.

Painting makes me tired too so I can imagine your Dad needs to rest up a bit before the next job. Tell Fritzie, Daisy and Delilah love bologna too :)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...erchsnooze.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...peekaboo-1.jpgFritz snoozing in the window and Fritz resting his head on my shoulder .He got up ther,i asked for kisses,he gave me a few and then rested his head.Fritz ate all his supper,had some of out fish sticks we had and a little Mince meat pie,just crust ,not the raisins.I had the flag out again today,Canada was playing Russia for the Gold Medal in Junior hockey and won 4-2 ,third straight year.Fritz had his usual play with his Monkey and Duck,then had a snooze.Mom was snoozing,Fritz sat up and looked at her,then he got up with her to lay beside her . :D

I love that he dozes off in the window sill, that's so sweet!

That second picture is just adorable, Barry!! Look at that little man with his head on your shoulder. What a great little boy he is and a wonderful companion to all of you. He does look so cute on that window sill too. I'm glad Fritz lives the good life all the time. It sounds like the hockey games are going your way--YAY!!! :) :D :)

What adorable pictures as always of Fritz! I LOVE the begging one! :D

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...6/rugsleep.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...6/lappynap.jpg Fritz last night ,snoozing under the couch and this morning on Dad's lap,dad has his hands around Fritz's head.Fritz stayed under the couch when Mom went to bed at 9 last night and still stayed there when i went.I had to stop at the washroom and i heard him run up the stairs.When i got up to the kitchen ,he was in the hallway and then he headed to the window and at some point after that jumped up on Dad's side of the bed.He didn't want to kiss me this morning,was in no hurry for breakfast either,but in the end,Fritz had the cereal,toast and probably the porridge also. :D

There you are cutie. Peeka boo....we see you. It looks like Fritz is enjoying some coffee with Papa. What a good caretaker boy you are sweetie!! :)

WHAT A LIFE YOU HAVE FRITZ!!! You're just living high on the hog, sweetie pie!! Great pictures, Barry. I see Fritz is guarding Papa's spot on the couch while he's away. :)

p.s. We would love some fish and chips too and ice cream for dessert!!

Great picture he is such a sweet lil guy!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...morningboy.jpg Fritz this morning with Dad.He come over and had cereal when I was finished with it,had toast,he takes the toast off the plate and goes a few feet,eats it,goes back for the other piece and does the same thing.Fritz was sleeping under the couch again last night,stayed when Mom went up and sometime before I went up,Fritz went up to bed.last night,I had just taken the picture of him laying on the cushion,mom wanted dad to see him there,he sees him, and for some reason is mad and says how am i going to sit thee with him there?I told him you didn't have to holler about it.So he says you would holler if you felt like i do.?That was enough for me,i didn't have to listen to that,so i come down to the computer. :cool:

What a cute little fella you are Fritz!! Right at Papa's side. I can understand your Dad's frustration Barry. I can also understand yours. It has to very difficult to go through his every day. I'm so sorry and so sad that I can't help. I'm glad Fritz is there to cheer everyone up and he provides an outlet for you. Taking his pictures is the thing you need to be able to do to feel a little better. Take care. T, D and D

Awwwww!!! Kisses to you Fritz!! You're such a good boy staying there with the family to keep them company. Enjoy the game, Barry!! :)

Oh Fritz you look so pooped in that last photo. :)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...6/nosetuck.jpg Fritz with his nose tucked in between Dad's legs.This was before I went to the game tonight,our team,the Bowmanville Eagles beat the Kingston Voyageurs 4-3.the Eagles are first in their division and are ranked 4th in Canada in Jr.A hockey.I have not missed a playoff or regular seson game of theirs since November of 2003.Mom swears Fritz is listening for me to come back,he perks up at every little noise.He was in the window when Mom brought me back and was at the back door when we came in.Mom went to bed shortly after coming home,Fritz soon followed.Dad went to bed just before mom took me at around 6 tonight. :)

We see you hiding there Fritz!! I'll bet he is listening for you Barry. He knows when you're missing. GO EAGLES!!! :D

Papa looks pretty happy in that picture Fritz!! You're cheering him up! :)

Look out there Fritz!! Taffy could be taking over the big bed ;) Just kidding. Good boy, sharing with Taffy. Have a fun day!! :) :D :)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../fritznpal.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...6/watchdog.jpg Here is Fritz and me again,Fritz at the back door watching as Mom and Dad come back from the hospital.Didn't tell me how it went,probably didn't tell them much there.Like when Dad went for the results,mom wasn't going to say anything until i asked and all she told me at the time that it wasn't good.She didn't tell me about what it actually was until she was home.While at the hospital waiting today,they met Auntie Bev and Irene.They were there for Irene's cancer trouble.Dad has gone to be ,Fritz is in the window,Mom at a church meeting.Tomorrow,they have to be gone by 5-5:30 in the morning as thye have to be there for 8:30.My sister is going again tomorrow and Taffy will be here to keep Fritz and me company. :cool:

Great pictures, Barry!! Please give my best to everyone for all the medical visits. I hope all is well with everybody. Have fun with Taffy tomorrow Fritz!! :)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...checkinout.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...26/visitor.jpg Fritz in the chair this morning and Taffy on the couch.You would never know there are two dogs in this house.Fritz is upstairs in the chair and Taffy is down here with me on the little couch.Both Larry and Marlene have gone to Toronto with Mom and Dad to this ALS support group meeting.The appointment yesterday, it turne dout had nothing to do with Lou Gehrig's,it had to do with his protein in the blood that was out of kilter,it is good now,so now he doesn't need to go to Oshawa on Thursday for the bone marrow test. :D

I'm glad to hear that Fritz and Taffy are staying together and behaving. It's a good thing that all is quiet. More prayers going up to you and your Dad and family Barry. I'm always thinking of all of you. :)

He has two more appointments in Toronto,one on February 8th and on February 27th . :cool: This drug is supposed to delay the progress of ventilator assistance or tracheostomy.It prolongs survival by 2 months,i guess every little bit helps.

Darling pictures! I love Fritz's little paw over his face! :D
I hope this new drug works well for your Dad!!! ;)

Kim

You're just too cute Fritz!! That closeup shot is great. Did you and Taffy have a hard play so you both needed a nap?? ;)

Barry, I'm hoping that new drug will help your Dad tremendously. Anything is worth a try. Take care. :)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../cutefella.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...rningnap-1.jpg Fritz last night under the small couch and this morning cuddled up with Dad.Right now ,he is laying on his side in the same place on the couch.A few minutes after taking that first picture,Fritz went up to bed.At around midnight,he got down and went to the kitchen and layed there wanting some water,so Mom had to go out and get him water and he gulped it right down.At Sunnybrook yesterday,Mom and dad met a couple and the Man has the same thing as dad,only his is in his voice,not the legs. :cool:

Fritz, you look so sleepy under that couch. Wake up little man! :D

Fritz~ I'm just catching up with all the news now, and I have to say that you are such a Cheerful Little Munchkin to see today!!

I liked seeing your pictures, along with Taffy and of course, I really liked seeing those posted with Papa as well!!! Your close up was naturally a Bonus round~

You're so funny, Fritzie!! Running off with the family's things. Anything to keep the family laughing, huh sweetie? :) Great pictures Barry!!

I am sure your Dad is grateful for all that you do for him even if it doesn't seem that way sometimes. I hope the new drugs work well.

That little dog of yours is an absolute superstar!!!

Oh Fritz, look at you with your little blankie on Papa's lap. You are such a kind and gentle soul my friend.

Awwwwww!!!! Once again Fritz, you make Papa's day(our's too). Such a cute little man. Papa is so proud of you. :)

I know your Dad is feeling lousy and depressed, Barry. We're here for you for support. We can only imagine how hard it really is to see this. Take care.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...z26/caring.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...windowrest.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...curlysleep.jpg Fritz caring for Dad,snoozing in the window again and curled into the chair,looks like his tail caught a breeze.He had a play with me and dad with his Monkey and bone.Earlier ,I was holding the walker for him to get up off the couch,it flipped up a bit,felt i wasn't holding it down right.Mom held it for him ,put a knee on it,that is fine.then he had to say i should be ashamed of how held the walker.just now,i felt i had too much Macaroni,I am a little too heavy, she says there wasn't any meat and then gets mad at me and dad for complaining I really wasn't.I didn't need it from dad,Mom didn't help matters.I hope it gets better,i don't know how i am going to take much more of this. :cool:

Barry I love your pictures and look at all the new ones every chance I can get. I can sympathize with you and the things that are happening in your household which are stemming from your dad's illness. When my dad was very sick and my mom was his primary caretaker, many times she would collapse in tears just from sheer exhaustion. I hope things get better for you and your parents. When you feel stressed have some play time with Fritz and come here to PT to visit with all of your friends. :)
