I have missed a few pictures and stories these last couple of days so seeing all of these pictures was a real treat. Bella said to tell Fritz that she realizes that the only way to get a good night's sleep is to totally relax with all four legs straight up in the air. Barry, I am glad your mom is keeping busy. That is the best medicine at a time like this. We are still all thinking of you and hope you are doing OK. It will be nice when this crazy weather is over and we can have some outside fun again.

Fritz having a siesta on Mom's bed.I sat on the floor and I held the camera at an angle to get this picture.I put ketchup on his food,wouldn't eat.Mom put some of our supper with it,Hamburger Pie and he ate it up,got a little more from each of us.Fritz had a little ice cream and a bit of pumpkin cake from each of us .he has been a thief today. Grabbed each of the 3 tv remotes,not at the same time,also got a coaster off the table,got meat to get it back.I think he does this to get the meat.He won't settle down at night until we have had a treat,had a ice cream bar.He had a play with each of us with his Monkey,then rested with both of us,rested in the window and panted after that.Fritz is now settled down,in Mom's lap.

Yes Fritz, we all know what you're up to Mr. Tricky Guy Anything to get a piece of meat. Huh?

I was thinking a few days ago that once you started the yard work, you would miss your Dad even more. It has to be so hard to do things alone that you two used to do together. I know he would be proud of you. It's obvious that your Mom is very grateful for your help. It sounds like you two are getting along pretty well these days, considering what you've been through. I always hope for the best for you, your Mom, Fritz, and all the family. Take care

[Pawsitive Thinking]

You will always miss your Dad, Barry. But he is part of who you are and you are great!

You're adorable little guy!! You grab that one ray of sun like Daisy and Delilah. Great pictures as always Barry!

It sounds like you're really getting alot done outside, Barry. I love doing outside work but my bum knee won't allow it anymore without severe penalty Don't work too hard.

Boy it looks good to see that lawn mower there!! It means that there will soon be something to mow! Spring is finally around the corner! YAY! Fritz you are a clever boy. Curl up with a loving human, play with your monkey and then run off with a shoe or something and get a treat to give it up. You are one smart cookie.
