Blogging Friends Come to the Rescue !!
Several weeks ago, I put out an All Points Bulletin for a
Tickle Me Elmo.
Here is the post: Finding Elmo
My blogging friends came to the rescue, and not only did Junior receive a new Elmo, Bubba did, too. If I ever had to give a reason for blogging, this would be one of them. There were blogging friends going through toy boxes all over the United States. We had offers of Care Bears, Tiggers, and every kind of Elmo imaginable. It is a constant reminder that people are generally good and will go the extra mile to help out. No one wanted to be reimbursed for the toy or for the postage. (((HUGS)))
Thanks to all of you with your concerns for Junior. After almost 4 weeks of undergoing chemo for lymphoma, he has finally started to respond to the meds. He spends most of his time sitting in the window with his new Elmo watching the rabbits. As you can tell from the above picture, Bubba loves Elmo, too.
I'm groaning. with grins and giggles
How much more fun than getting Elmo in the mail for your dog.

Awww, so sweet. Plush toys don't last long in our house. Well, except for one. Sounds like a post huh? Well, someday.

Gald to hear that Junior is doing well and that they are both happy with their new Elmos.
It is refreshing to see people coming together to help one another, that is how it use to be and how it should be.

There is good in this world SW, and it flows to great people like you.
P.S. I do a great Elmo voice. :)

Puppy love :) Big grins! Don't think that's a "Tickle-Me-Elmo"...more like a "Love-Me-Til-It-Hurts" Elmo.
I talked to my kids this morning about your "challenge" to me...they're in like Flynn" (btw, who's Flynn??). When do you wanna write about it?

That has got to be the cutest picture I've ever seen! Funny Girl is here with me. She said, "That puppy is hugging Elmo?" Sweet, sweet puppy.

TO ALL: There is a chance that very few will be back here to read my reply, but just in case, here is an update on Junior.
He responded to two of the chemos, briefly.
The last time, there was no change for the better. We are taking all 3 dogs to OK with us for Christmas. We are hoping Junior has a good Christmas and makes it through the holidays.
