Hello everypawdy! JD and Max here! It's been a long, long time since we blogged. We're mainly on Facebark now but we miss blogging so we asked FH if she would help us get back into it again.<br />
<br />
So here we are - nearly 5 years old (gosh, it's been a while!) and wanting to give big paw waves to all our pals out there. Um - we sure hope you still remember us!<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: 78%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span>
Please watch this space - we will be back!</div>

We're still enjoying our coastal walkies!<br />
<br />
But we wanted to do a quick blog update to let everyone know that we're both well and happy - and that plans for JD and <a href="http://www.ro-uj-iz.blogspot.com/">Izzy's</a> wedding in October are going well!<br />
<br />

We miss our bogging pals - we hope you haven't furgotten us completely!<br />
<br />
And we also wanted to let you know that our humans are VERY excited as they're going to be in the YOU-ESS in a few weeks time - they're going to visit a place called NEW YORK to celebrate their twentieth wedding anniversary. Wowzers - they're OLD!!<br />
<br />

Us with some of our best furiends and one of our favourite human friends!<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: 78%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span><br />
They are extra excited about this trip as they're going to meet up with our blogging friends from <a href="http://schnauzer-tude.blogspot.co.uk/">Schnauzer-tude</a>! Which means they'll get to cuddle - IN-THE-FUR!! - our four great pals!! So, much as we're going to miss them whilst they're away we're also very excited for them!<br />
<br />
We probably won't have time to blog again before they go away but we'll make sure that FH updates our blog after their journey and let you all know how it went!</div>

It's been a nightmare (and we feel so rude as we got some lovely pressies from pals overseas for Christmas but we don't <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">know</span> their e-mail to let them know just HOW much we loved them!)

Some bad storms took out some trees and fencing in our garden and we're sure you realise how long these things take to clear up.<br /><br />Also, poor Max has been very ill - it involved a mad dash to the emergency vet and him being kept in on a drip, having tests and generally being a very unwell boy. He's fine now thankfully but it was all very scary at the time. And then just after that JD needed some dental surgery - he's okay and did very well, but it's been a worrying time all round!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSBc_DhUa3Lxr0J4VcnpIZf49jiwukkfYVcprcF-Mm4Fb9cMvE1g7NxpJvLGptfVaFmcqFUkqcbtQ46nmmhyj_cyiRXhrQeMVwOx_jK-c03_Q_qWac9A9vAsxVNwF5fvM97NetPQN4_0M/s1600/poormax.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSBc_DhUa3Lxr0J4VcnpIZf49jiwukkfYVcprcF-Mm4Fb9cMvE1g7NxpJvLGptfVaFmcqFUkqcbtQ46nmmhyj_cyiRXhrQeMVwOx_jK-c03_Q_qWac9A9vAsxVNwF5fvM97NetPQN4_0M/s400/poormax.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700562430863182834" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Max being brave with a drip in his leg!</span><br /></div><br />And - probably as a result of the stress of all this - last week our <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">FH</span> came down with shingles - on her FACE (ouch!) She's feeling much better now but still looks a bit hideous, he he he! We're sorry <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">FH</span>, but you DO!!<br /><br />So, all in all the start of 2012 has been a bit of a faff and this is the reason why we haven't had a chance to post until now. Anyway, things are getting back to normal so - even though it's about a month later than we intended - we want to announce a new auction!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiTB-ARlTlMMl39mX4eI6iLj__r7frnDZnFFQMBi-yei1EtIgpAspSnZOy8ZsdqN8czpTDGE8fgtRBkDjMtklQ0k8Bxv9yN4OvcJgu3-DX_Cz7EsZAX8KSDNxG0liAf2iwDZ7XRPsgP5I/s1600/crossed-paws-logo-4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 220px; height: 206px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiTB-ARlTlMMl39mX4eI6iLj__r7frnDZnFFQMBi-yei1EtIgpAspSnZOy8ZsdqN8czpTDGE8fgtRBkDjMtklQ0k8Bxv9yN4OvcJgu3-DX_Cz7EsZAX8KSDNxG0liAf2iwDZ7XRPsgP5I/s400/crossed-paws-logo-4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700566321357795570" border="0" /></a><br />Now, most of you know about the heartbreaking tragedy that our friends <a href="http://kissa-bull.blogspot.com/">The Houston <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Pittie</span> Pack</a> endured just before Christmas. We were SO proud to be a part of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Blogville</span> as we witnessed how everyone came together to help.<br /><br />So we want to run a new auction with 2 aims which means that the money that we raise will be split in two as follows - firstly, we want to raise some money to add to the donations that have already been pouring in for <a href="http://kissa-bull.blogspot.com/">The Houston <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Pittie</span> Pack</a>.<br /><br />And secondly, to honour the memory of <a href="http://kissa-bull.blogspot.com/2012/01/shelbys-spirit-lives-on.html">sweet Shelby</a>, who sadly lost her life in the tragic fire, we wanted to raise money for another bait dog who so desperately needs help, just as Shelby needed help all those months ago.<br /><br />So we would like to introduce you to Ava - she was rescued in Chester, SC. This precious little girl, only about 18 months old, was rescued by the wonderful people at <a href="http://campaign.r20.constantcontact.com/render?llr=b5sfc6cab&v=001QORyCDlYxyuSNgrjCse_FVbD4Pdzpd6nPu1XckvwaDVUULrXoVGmYaW6CKjYhBS6mgAIOtuSn0v27u17QSFm8xVr6y_XZhTvVIs9Gd0hvEia7nvbt_La6kpTNIGRcG9i8kJXdHmjUE0%3D" rel="nofollow">Noah's Arks Rescue</a>.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif1RyURL6RSsjlRHN8Cc9U8MKgbvYgDdSTQc5G6B_J9VXaekEY42n6tHRjhbkobNz77mijtig5dFbaCsLUF8GGVeKY8HqLBCw89eqgXhxlLBWa8d5cZO3X6c_rQxUvQ9NW0aQmgv77mZU/s1600/Ava.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 210px; height: 170px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif1RyURL6RSsjlRHN8Cc9U8MKgbvYgDdSTQc5G6B_J9VXaekEY42n6tHRjhbkobNz77mijtig5dFbaCsLUF8GGVeKY8HqLBCw89eqgXhxlLBWa8d5cZO3X6c_rQxUvQ9NW0aQmgv77mZU/s400/Ava.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700562424066228626" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Sweet Ava - victim of cruelty by the hand of man</span><br /></div><br />Poor Ava's face has been shredded to the point that a large part of is completely missing. Her sinus cavities have punctures and her throat is torn. Her entire little body show the ravages of the attacks from the fighting dogs who were being trained to kill another dog. She is emaciated from starvation. Yet through it all, Ava only wants to be loved. She never stops wagging her tail and wanting to show that love, even in the face of the excruciating pain that she is in. This beautiful spirit reminds us so much of our beautiful Shelby. We could not think of a better way to honour her memory than to raise money for Ava. After all, if it wasn't for sweet Shelby, Crossed Paws would not even exist!<br /><br />So, down to business! We would like to run an 'All In The Name Of Love' auction - because we love The Houston <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Pittie</span> Pack, we've totally fallen for Ava and we love <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Blogville</span>!

"But we just HAD to visit you guys to tell you that I'm okay. You see, I did try so hard to hold out for the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">barkday</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">pawty</span> on the weekend but you know, when the call comes from the Bridge it's just too sweet for any pup to ignore."</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">"He's right." said Angel Molly. "I've been waiting for some time now for Richie to join me here and today was his time. Oh JD and Max! It's so wonderful here! There's no pain or sickness and LOTS of our pals are here. We run and we play and we never get tired and we all watch over those we love - we're never far from your sides."</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Our tails were now wagging furiously.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">"But we miss you so much here!" we exclaimed. "Did you really have to leave us?"</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Richie and Molly looked at each other when we said this. "Oh boys!" Molly said softly, "You're both so young and we know you find it difficult to understand, but it's the circle of life."</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">"That's right!" said Richie. "We were lucky enough to share our lives with the most amazing <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">momster</span> and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">popster</span> when we were down here and they looked after us and showed us what it is to live and to love.

"That's our ride!" said Richie, "We have to be leaving you now boys, but before we go we have a special message for you."</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">"That's right!" said beautiful Molly. "We wanted to tell you how amazing Crossed Paws have been. You have done so much for our wonderful <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">momster</span> - she had been so stressed about the vet bills and how she was going to afford them - I could feel her worrying all the way at the Bridge and it was awful just knowing she was so upset!"</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">"But then Crossed Paws stepped in to paid the vet bills." continued Richie, "which meant that my last few weeks were pain-free because I was able to be treated. And it meant that our <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">Momster</span> didn't have to stress any more about us because our wonderful vet could be paid. After all, what would any of us be without our vets?!"</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">They were now skipping up the stream of moonlight as they made their way back to the Rainbow Bridge.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">"Please continue the good work at Crossed Paws!" they both shouted to us! "It made all the difference to us and we know you can make a huge difference to lots of other pups and kits!"</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">And with that they were gone!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Well! We looked at each other in disbelief. "That DID just happen, didn't it?" we asked. But the evidence was there in front of us - the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">biccie</span> crumbs!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">As we made our way into the house we started discussing what we could do next for the Crossed Paws organisation.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">"Hi boys!" said <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">FH</span> suddenly appearing in front of us.
