Elizabethian Collar... "Why is this thing attached to me?" 15FEB08/Friday - Road Trip to Boulder Creek... mama has a "THREE DOG NIGHT"... 23FEB08/Saturday - Izzy secure in the "seclusion" and "privacy" of her "room"... - doesn't matter that everyone can see her in her room... - it's her space and only her space and she's safe in there... - and this was the case for her whole life...

Izzy - 23,30MAR08, 20APR08, 23MAY08, 08JUN08, 05JUL08, 02,21AUG08... 23MAR08/Sunday - Road Trip to Boulder Creek... 30MAR08/Sunday - Bernie and her "guard dog"... gamma correction applied to the above photo so you can see what was not so easy to see... Izzy, not even a year old yet has "assumed the position" that she will maintain for the rest of her life as guard dog; we never really knew for sure what set her off and caused her to jump up and run around the pool, and in particular, back and forth on the sidewlk next to the fence barking, barking so much that she was also known as "Ms. Barky Poo," so, what set her off? people walking on the sidelalk on the other side of the fence? people walking and talking on the other side of the fence? people waiting at the bus stop? a kid riding a skate board on the sidewalk on the other side of the fence? a bird? a lixard? a squirl, a butterfly?... - usually we never knew what set her off. ... Izzy fournd a potted plant to THOROUGHLY investigate" (I'm sure Bernie had nothing to do with the potted plant mess) (Poor Sheryl... she was babysitting the dogs when this happened) 23MAY08/Friday - Bernie and Izzy... - 27APR08/Sunday - daddy gets a new Nikon (digital) and tests it... - 23MAY08/Friday - I'm sure Bernie had nothing with tearing up a doggie pillow... - 24MAY08/Saturday - Roxie visits from across the street... 08JUN08/Thursday - Wyatt visits (RED collar, and SOLID BLACK ALL OVER)... 05JUL08/Saturday - BIG Bar-B-Q & Pool Party... Izzy knows how to swim, we HAD to verify that... ... and she knows where the steps are, we HAD to verify that... ... ... but... ... "I DON'T LIKE THE WATER! LET ME OUTTA HERE!" 02AUG08/Saturday - dawgs!!!... 21AUG08/Thursday - Izzy, part time chin rest for Bernie...

Izzy - 18OCT08, 08,20NOV08, 03,09,14,25DEC08... 18OCT08/Saturday - Road Trip - Pumpkin Patch and Boulder Creek... 08NOV08/Saturday - Bernie-n-Izzy at home on the couch... 20NOV08/Thursday... Bernie-n-Izzy-n-Sox-n-Wyatt Thanksgvng... Bernie liked getting into the pool... summer OR WINTER!!!... brrrrrrrrr... this window was CLEAN before everyone got here, but, within 2 minutes... oh yeah... in the pool again... and, this was a comon moneuver for Bernie when the PUPPIES became too much of a neusiance... get in the pool and they will leave her alone there... dad and Tyler are decorating the tree... Bernie is creeping into the livingroom... inch by inch... Izzy is being a good girl... 03DEC08/Wednesday - Bernie and Izzy and chew sticks... did I mention that when I gave each of them a chew stick that Bernie would burry hers... which was consisted of going and putting it in a corner like the corner of the hall by the guest bath... Izzy would then leave hers on her pillow and go get Bernie's... eventually I got to where I would bring in three!... and when Izzy went and got Bernies then I would give Bernie another one... but... eventually they got so that they were devouring the chew sticks so fast that they were swallowing chunks of un-moistened with slobber rawhide then having those chunks stuck in their throat and caughing a bunch... and so... we quit giving them chew sticks and began getting them "donuts" from Petco... ... how about Izzy's "devil eyes" ? ? ? 09DEC08/Tuesday - Bernie and Izzy and Christmas letter photo shoot... this is the one: Bernie and Izzy waiting for Santa... 14DEC08/Sunday - Bernie and Izzy sacked out on the couch... 21DEC08/Sunday - Bernie and Izzy waiting for mama to get out of the shower... Izzy is Bernie's chin rest again... 22DEC08/Monday - Roxie visits Bernie and Izzy... 25DEC08/Thursday - Christmas day... Bernie, Izzy, Wyatt and Roxie look with contempt at Sox who leaps the gate without correction; Bernie knew the living room was "not her room" but, if nobody was home she would leap the gate to "bury" bones "rawhides" in the couch...

Izzy - 2011... 25MAY/Wednesday - Izzy is a lone dog in the house now... Bernie - 11FEB03-25MAY11 - Gone But Not Forgotten... ... Izzy clearly misses Bernie... Bernie liked squeeky toys and from now on, and, for the rest of Izzy's life, (interesting that Izzy NEVER forgot Bernie) if you squeeked a squeeky toy Izzy would think (perhaps hope) it was Bernie who squeeked it and she would come get the squeeky toy to take to Bernie and she would carry it around for the next 20 or 30 minutes crying because she she couldn't find Bernie... it would be a couple of lonely years for Izzy (25MAY11 - 09FEB13) before Penny would be here so Izzy would have company when we were out of the house...... 24,25,26JUN11/Friday,Saturday,Sunday - Road trip - Friday - Boulder Creek, Saturday - Santa Cruz, and, Sunday - Capitola for the BIKES ON THE BAY VINTAGE MOTORCYCLE SHOW at the Capitola Mall on 41st Street in Capitola... ...

"hides" in a safe place: mama's closet... 06NOV11 - Izzy's comfortable... ... and 11NOV11 and 28NOV18... 04DEC11 - Izzy, "Ms Dainty"... 21DEC11 - the typical fur pile after an Izzy brushing... deffinately the Fur Queen of all of our dogs! 24DEC11 - Izzy on Christmas Eve...

Several weeks ago we noticed a lump on her right front leg and after an x-ray examination she was diagnosed with bone cancer and the only reasonable solution at this point in he life was to make her as compfortable as possible for her remaining days and so the narcotic Tramadol was added to her pill regiment... seems "comfortable"... considering... 10MAY18: Lucy arrives and Izzy mothers her same as she mothered Penny... 12MAY18: Lucy plays around... 13MAY18: Izzy likes Lucy, Lucy likes Izzy... 15MAY18: Izzy was euphanized today brought on by a spontaneous flipped stomach, a mixed blessing, she's no longer with us (and we knew her days were numbered) and she wont suffer continued increasing pain as her cancer continues to grow up and until we decide that the pain medication is no longer giving her enough comfort... 16,17,... Penny does "guard duty" alone now... View ALL of the pictures of Izzy in 2018... click here
