Aww Fritz you are Adorable.
You're too cute buddy!! I love the pic of you on your side with those footsies in the air :) Hope you're having fun at the groomer.
Take it easy out there Barry. It sounds like alot of work. :)
Oh Gosh Fritz, You're always such a Big White Ball of Fluffy Love :p
I like the picture of Fritz in front of the Louvered doors, as though he is saying~ " Can we talk?" :D The expression on his face is soooo fabulous!!!
Have fun at the Groomers Fritzy Boy~( Burrrrrrrrrrr *******)
Fritz, I missed you while I was on vacation. It's so nice to come back & see your smiling face.
http://www.imagebee.org/images/4198spiffyboy.JPG Fritz with dad just after coming back from the groomer.Dad liked the way he looked in the picture,didn't rip it up.This time,couldn't wait to come home.Slept on the couch until Dad went to bed and he is now under the little couch downstairs.the groomer Michelle Hope has a dog she showed,it was a champion of a show.it is a Rough Collie called Emeraldbrae's Silver Lining as it has silver and black markings on it.
What a handsome boy we have here!! You look great Fritz!! So does Papa!! I can see how proud he is of his little man :)
http://www.imagebee.org/images/3220beggyfella.JPG http://www.imagebee.org/images/8513snacking.JPG Fritz begging to go outside and having cereal this morning.i took him up last night to go out,was stsarting to put his leash on and he run off to the livingroom.Got him to come down with some bologna.Earlier he had been begging,wouldn't let me pick him up,he would run off,he was playing with me.At night when it is bedtime,i go up and get aome bologna and he comes up on my lap in the chair and i hold on to him until mom is ready to go.Dad not too bad,he had 11 hours sleep last night.Mom said his apetite wasn't as good yesterday. Legs not great,he is just a dead weight trying to lift him.Irene is having an ultrasound on Monday and they are coming here for a few minutes,Fritz wil be really really excited to see his Aunties,hasn't been since after Christmas,dad will like the company too.Mom was talking to Bev last night and it appeared that Fritz knew who Mom was talking to.No snow I hope today,need a break from it.
Fritz, you're so cute in your pictures this morning. I know you'll be ecstatic to see the Auunties. How exciting that you all get to see each other. I bet you did know it was Auntie Bev on the phone. You probably would have been happy to talk to her. Right buddy? :)
Oh Fritz, I just can't get over how *Spiffy* you look today!!!!
You're looking so Fresh and Spunky, and I just know that the Aunties will be tickled PINK to see you!!! :p ( You smarty, you knew it was Aunt Bev!!)
OHHHH :o
I know that their visit will be so refreshing for Mom and Dad as well!!!
The picture of Fritz with Dad is GREAT to see today!!! ( I give it a 10)
NO MORE WHITE STUFF~It's time to Relax~

Wonderful pics, Barry! Everybody looks great! I hope and pray every day for a major breakthrough. How frustrating for everybody :(
{{{{{HUGS}}}}}
Such GREAT Pictures Barry!!1
I especially savor the one of Dad, Fritz and Marlene, yet the one of Dad with Fritz comes in as a close second~ :cool:
I also have to admit that I treasure the framed picture on the wall !!!
Sooo much of your beautiful home inspires me.
I realize all that you are experiencing~and I know that Mom helps him soooo much !!!!
Great Moments Barry~ Thank-You
http://www.imagebee.org/images/8508sleepyboys.JPG Fritz and dad sleeping this morning on the couch .Fritz had all his breakfast and this is where he got.I found what was bothering Dad so much yesterday.he was all worried asbout the tractor.He shouldn't worry about it anymore,he can't use it anymore.it is at larry's brother-in-law's.Larry told him the oil has been changed and a filter put on.It really hasn't been done yet,Larry hasn't had the time,works all week and is doing painting at home.He just said thast so dad doesn't have to worry about it.I don't know if we are doing the ramp today,it is cold out there and he has work to at home,painting the bathroom.
AWW! Fritz is just the most handsome boy after his groom (although was just as handsome before!). I continue to marvel at the pictures of him in the window and the fact that he doesn't knock that candle down. I don't have anything in my big window that Ripley likes to sit in because I am sure he wouldn't be quite as careful. :) Your dad looks so happy in these pictures. I am glad your sister visited and brought some joy to his day.
Get a good nap in Fritz!! It's going to be cold outside so you just stay inside and cuddle up. Take it easy Barry. Stay warm!! :D
AAAAAWWWW...the photo of Fritz & Papa sleeping is adorable.

Wonderful pictures, Barry!! Fritz is looking very spiffy after the groomers. Of course he always looks spiffy ;)
Sorry to hear about the Eagles. Maybe next year. Sorry to hear that Marlene got sick. Burnt liver sounds awful! I hope Larry sent it back :(
Oh Fritz, I just can't believe how "tiny" you look after a visit to the groomer!!! You look so sweet , sitting Pretty for the Camera!!!
It was good to see Dad and Fritz again~ No doubt that Dad wants to get out and DO what he always has done when Springtime is around the corner~ hence the grumbling. :( But, you've got to admit, Fritz is sure his Buddy, huh!!!) :p
The Ramp will be sooo Great to have !!!
http://www.imagebee.org/images/927twins.JPG It looks like Fritz and his twin are having some cereal.I was close to Fritz when i took this and it caused a double exposure,looking like there are two Fritzes instead of one.The Aunties are coming at some point,maybe after Auntie Irene's ultrasound which was at 8:30 this morning.dad is about the same,Fritz is up keepin ghim company.good day to stay in wind and windchill warnings today.Dad was having supper yesterday and he needed some gravy,mom brings and Fritz starts to lick at the gravy,got a kick out of it.Marlene is fine this morning,guess it was the Hot Chicken Sandwich she ate.
What's better than two Fritzies? Hmmmmm.....maybe three Fritzies :) You look adorable buddy!! Kisses to you this morning. Stay warm and get ready for the happiest day ever. The Aunties are coming!! Can't wait for pics of you diving towards them. You'll be so excited. :D
I'm glad Marlene is better. That sandwich must have been the culprit.
Have a good day everybody!! :)

YAY YAY YAY!!!!! Aren't you a very happy boy Fritz? I know the Aunties are happy too to see their little man. Considering, I think Auntie Irene looks pretty good, Barry. Bless her heart. I hope the chemo does the trick and she's back to herself in no time. Great pics!! :D
Just looking at Fritz's expression in the first picture assures me that He was soooo Happy to see his Aunties, Bev and Irene!!!~ Bless your heart for tending to her with all of your affection.
It's comforting to know that your Auntie Irene will have just ONE more Chemotherapy treatment~ I think she looks real pretty ~She's obviously a very strong woman!!! I hope she's feeling better and better!!!
Great pictures too, Thank-You for the Double exposture explanation!!! :D
http://www.imagebee.org/images/9798blankydog.JPG Fritz this afternoon,sleeping with green blanket over him.Ate most of his supper,don't know if he had any with Mom and Dad.Fritz is up in the window,babysitting him and watching Dad as Mom has gone to a church meeting.he has been down here twice after barking at nothing out the window,but then wants up.He is quiet now,will have to come back down to his own bed.He sleeps down here now as he sleeps too close to Dad in the bed and Dad needs to stretch out,can't do it with him right up to him.Windchill is to bein the -20's fahrenheit,skin will freeze in 10 minutes if exposed.Fritz wasn't out long tonight. :D
Fritz, I don't blame you for resorting to "The Green Blanket" and wanting to be in bed with Dad!!!
It's just tooooo darned cold outside!!! (Burrrrrrrrrr ***)
You had better confiscate that blanket for the night, Fritz!! It's really going to be cold there! You're adorable in that pic, Fritz. I love the way the yellow bandana goes with the green blanket :)
http://www.imagebee.org/images/3831eater.JPG Fritz eating cereal.he had his porridge too and toast,He went out,not for long, 5 below fahrenheit.he has been up to tricks.he got kleenex from dad and under the dining room table he went.he wouldn't come our with a milkbone,came out with a piece of bologna.He was cuddled up to dad this morning as usual.He just let out a yip,don't know why,he got under the table,maybe his paw that is bothering him.
Brrrrr!!! Stay inside Fritzie. It's really cold up there. Brrrrrrr. That's the way Fritz....hold out for the bologna every time. Those milk bones aren't nearly as tasty. ;) Have a good day buddy!! :D
Hi Fritz!
I know about cold, it got cold here overnight, too. The wind is howling and it is making my neighbor's fence tilt and creak. I didn't like the sound this morning, so I ran out and did my thing and ran right back inside to mom. AND I demanded my carrot!
I had to have a bath last night. I sat still for mom, but that doesn't mean I LIKE it! Then when we went to bed I snuggled under the covers to keep warm. I like your green blankie! I have a blankie too, and I love to sit on it, under it and with it. I also like to snuggle up close in bed.

"Mom asks Fritz if he is waving : "Good-Bye" ~ :D Ohh Dear Fritz, You do know where to Good Food really is, don't you boy!!!
Of course, The spelling word for Today boys and girls, is :
BLANKET!!! :D
For Heaven's Sake, it's sooo cold outside!!!
Glad to know you're keeping WARM!!!
We would love some meatloaf too, Fritz. :) Yummy!! Stay warm little man. You look pretty cute in those pics :D Don't lose sight of those blankies. :)
http://www.imagebee.org/images/8269backynap.JPG Fritz on his back this morning on dad's lap.He had his cereal with me,wouldn't touch my toast until he had some of dad's Oat Bran.Good time to stay in,it is only 4 fahrenheit out Fritz was upstairs when dad went to bed,started barking,got meat to get him to come down and he then stayed under the little couch the resat of the time.Had to get more bologna to get him out.
Awwwwww.......we love those "all fours up in the air" pics buddy!! Look at Papa smiling at you. What a couple of contented guys :) Have a good day and stay warm!! :)

It was easier getting him out of there than it does getting him out of the couch.His scooter come this afternoon and he is proud to have it,he will be able to get around come spring.he ate his supper,mom puts gravy on it,eats it up and then wants meatloaf from dad.Just had a short play with him with his Monkey.He is downstairs here looking for food crumbs.Mom has to serve at a church dinner,so will have to get dad in bed before she goes,too much of a lug for me to do it by myself.
Fritz, I love that green blanket next to your white fur. You look so adorable next to it and it makes you stand out. But you stand out anyways. :)
HURRAH!! Dad gets a ~~~Scooter this afternoon~~~ :cool:
What with the COLD temperatures outside, the picture of Fritz tucked behind Dads legs , with Mom looking on, is a great Bonus shot !!!!
I also liked the *close-up* of Fritz's face~!!!! :o
