Sightings! Maybe...

So I just got back from a walk and I swear I keep seeing Terry around every corner.  On this walk I thought I saw him a number of times hiding in trees.  I called and called for him but he didn't come.  I snapped these pictures with my iPhone so that, once I enlarge them on my personal computer, I can check to see if it was really Toto or not.  Turns out the first two weren't him....I'm still not sure about the last one though...

Has anyone seen him??????????????  I'm going to Rebecca's house for dinner tonight to talk strategy about how to find Toto.

We're going to have Fettucini Alfredo yum! I'm excited and I feel like with all the searching I'm doing, I'll definitely find my lost cat!

I'm off to go search the neighborhood again.

Homeward Bound!

I've been watching more and more episodes of Homeward Bound! I absolutely love that movie!  Sometimes it can be so sad, but it is mostly uplifting.   I love to see the dogs that have been taken from their homes be reunited with their original owner. I'm not sure how all his dogs ran away though? But what a brave man going around the world to bring all his furry family members Homeward with him.  Here is a beautiful moment from the movie show...

Don't they both look so happy?!  One day that will be me!!! My dog Toto and I will be reunited and happy as can be! Just like this...

That was such a nice time when Teensie and I went to the lake in Chicago.  We had to wear out coats and scarves though because it was sooo cold that winter.  Not much of a beach day I suppose!

Well, I better get going. I have some laundry boiling...

So Sad

Oh Lord, "Homeward Bound" was the wrong movie to watch tonight!! :(

Maybe he'll turn up tomorrow... I'm not sure how much longer I can go on this way..

Lunch with my daughter

Well Rebecca came over and fixed me a wonderful lunch.  Here's a picture of my Tuna Club Sandwhich:

We also had some potato chips.  It was very nice of her to stop by, and it seemed like she was seeking some nurture from her dear old mother.  She has been quite upset as of late.  The loss of her father, my husband, has been difficult for all of us in the family and Rebecca is struggling to cope.  Stress is mounting at work and Danny has been nearly entirely reclusive.  If hes not out with his friends, he keeps himself locked up in his room blaring rap music she tells me.  She mentioned that there's also a terrbile smell coming from his side of the house but he refuses to let her in to his bedroom.  After she and her husband divorced Rebecca has been keeping busy taking care of Danny and maintaining a house.  Oh that child can sure be a burden.

I did my best to console her, we all miss Howard, yet he lived a long life.  I told her he wouldn't want us fretting like we are, he would want us all to get together as a family and take care of one another.

I tried but I felt like I just couldn't get through to her today.  Oh well.  Any advice?

Still waiting...

I've been waiting by the phone but I still havent heard any replies to my flyers.  I suppose it's only one day but I would imagine I would hear something  by now right?  Well, about all I can do is the crossword and cross my fingers.  Although I'm feeling better the doctor AND my loving (but often overbearing) family wont allow me to drive around town searching yet.  They say I'll become so fatigued it will be dangerous..but I feel up to it!  Tootsie is the primary source of joy and excitement in my life! Without him I'll become too fatigued because I'll have no one to cheer me up and share my days with.

Rebecca is planning to stop by on her lunch break so I better be signing off soon.

back on my feet

So I've been starting to feel better and I've been researching to learn how to find Tootsie.  I found this website with a lot of helpful advice: http://www.fidofinder.com/find-your-lost-dog.php

I think I'm going to go plaster the neighborhood with posters for my missing doggie!

Wish me luck~

Pneumonia and induced comas

Hi folks,

So I know it's been a while since I last updated, but that's because I came down with a terrible case of pneumonia and have been hospitalized for the last few weeks.  At this age, an illness like that really gets the best of you!  Luckily now I am feeling better and steadily regaining strength and energy.  I am back home and on my feet again, and ready to solve the mystery of my missing Tootsie with all my might.

The doctors said that all the stress of losing my poor pomeranian seemed to have weakened my immune system and made my susceptible to pneumonia.  For a while I was in an induced state of sedation with a respirator doing all of my breathing.  It's amazing how technology has evolved in the medical field over my lifetime.  Once I was awake, my family was very supportive.  Rebecca came to visit me everyday to check in and see how I was doing.  Danny even stopped by once or twice.  That was very thoughtful of the him, however I found it to be quite rude that he laughed told him what happened to Tootsie.

Well, now that I'm home again I guess ill check in with my friends in the blogosphere and leave some comments.  I don't have the energy to do much else, so I'll look around the internet to see if I can't find any clues as to Tootsie's whereabouts.
