Visitor!

Ok, so I know we have all been down in the dumps lately with sick friends and broken parents and people losing jobs and other crappy stuff. But I have some great news - my cousin is going to be visiting for a little while.
Meet my cousin Harry - Harry Kiester!
(Pee S - he's very sensitive about his short arms.)

Shifting gears.

Ok, so my mom's back doesn't work anymore, and she pretty much can't stand or sit or lay down or do anything for any period of time. This changes things for the project which wasn't going well anyway. Soooooooooooooooooooooooo, I have moved on to Plan B which is going to be pawesome, and I'm really excited about it! So don't worry guys, I'm putting your donations to good use, just running into a few bumps in the road. I'll update when there is more news. You can email me if you want to know what is going on if you are not Joe Stains!

Plugging away!

Ok, so my mom has solved the hiccup and it now plugging away at the secret project. Barring any unforeseen problems, it should be done relatively soon. (She only says relatively because she won't commit to a timeline! That lady...

Pee S - she would love to take some of you up on your offers to help, but it can't be done that way :(

Set backs.

Ok, so my mom has been working on the project but she's running into some problems, but she promises to work it out somehow. I'll keep you up to date with the progress. Thanks so much to all who donated!

And here's a cute old picture of me, just because.

Progress Report.

Ok, so my mom and dad went to Hawaii forever and then they got home and then they had to go back to stupid work, so my mom has been thinking about the secret project a lot, but not working on it a lot. I just want to let you know that we haven't forgotten and will be putting some time into it this weekend (even though my mom has to go to stupid work Saturday and Sunday) but we hope to have it ready to go within the next week or two. I'll keep you updated.

Here's a picture of my mom and dad having a great time without me!


But they did give me a lei when I picked them up at the airport, but it smelled terrible. As you can see from the photo, I was a little confused.

Donations!

So the donations are coming in - 3 figures already! Please re-post on your blog if you are not Joe Stains and want to participate in this super good idea fund raiser. Email me at emilyhthompson @ yahoo.com if you are not Joe Stains for details!

Super good idea that will make everyone feel better.

Ok, so I have a super good idea that will make everyone feel better, but I'm gonna need a little help with this, and by help, I mean donations. So if you are not Joe Stains, and want to help, please email me at emilyhthompson @ yahoo.com and I'll let you in on it. And if you can't help, don't feel bad at all but pass it on to the other dog bloggers because Joe Stains brings a lot of love laughter into our lives and we are going to CELEBRATE all that he is!
