Hey Neba,
Ise sorry Ise gots it mixed up dats it wuz youse Momma dat wusn't feeling good. Wese all crossing our paws dat she bees on da mend and is soon her sunny self. Since your Daddy is waiting for annuder load to haul, does dat mean he fixed da battery problem wif his truck? Or does he have some kind of AAA for his truck? Dat would be a rweal pill to breakdown on da road so Ise hops it is properly fixed for hims.
Your Mom sounds liks she is berry independent. My Momma used to be able to bees like dat till she gots sick. And now she hates asking Daddy for helps. It just makes her cringe all da time. She'd radder do fings herself.
Da kids here in our area habe been in school full time since August 15. Dey go bak rweal early here. The webber continues on the hot cycle and will be at least 100 with a heat index making it 110-115 degrees thru da weekend. It makes da water in da swimming pool so warm its like taking a baff. But I'm sure dat Daddy will be back in it, ebery chance he gets. He liks to swim a liddl and den he fwoats around on a lounger and takes a nappy for a half hour or so. Momma gets after him because she doen't fink he uses enuf SPF on his face. Wately, he has been trying to wear all da colored clows to show off his dark tan. He already has an olive complexion cuz he is half cherokee indian. His hair is jet black.
It is Momma's big day to get dem stitches out. Annuder one busted agains last night. Momma said, dat one hurt. Some of da surrounding skin is swollen and Momma is worried dat dere is infeskshun underneaf dere since she aintse had no andebiodik since Monday.
We watched dat Talent Show last nite on da tb. Mom gabs us da frosty paws which were berry good and really hit da spot with da hot webber. L'il Bullet had his ears tucked strait back whil he was eatin. We also had some cookies and a kumpressed bones. I just lubs chewing.
Gotta check da fermomeder dis morning, as Ise been waiting to see when it's gonna break!
Sending you lots of hugs,
XOXOXOXOXOXO Murphy p.s. How old and whut grade is Morgan in?

Hey Neba,
Yup, Momma knowz about dat preadopt program, follow dat houndie, and we'se gots two brudders kummin in da futshur. Daddy finks dat it is just 1, but when da last one ended up being an orphan and didn't gets no fabily to taks him, Momma said we wulds. Hopefully dey won't boff come at da same time. One boy's name is Diablo and da 2nd one is Chancho. I fink dat she's got some pitchurs of dem.  Dey was born last December so dey should be eight monfs old now. She uploaded sum pitchurs so I hops dat dem kum out okay.  Dey won't start training till well until after they be a year old.  
Ise gwad youse Momma is feelin a widdle bedder and youse a sweetiepie to keeps her good company.  Youre a spechul girl, Neba.  It's no wunder youre so lubbed.  Momma tries to teach me abouts da laundry and Ise just dontse pay no mind, cuz as far as Ise kuncerned youse can keep wearing da same cloz for a week.  I do liks da smell of da wady perfum do.  When Momma wears dat to go out sumwhere spechul, Ise gotta sniff her ober rweal good.  
Let youse Momma know she can sends my Momma and email about da partikulars about da preadopshun program.  One of my Mom's girlfriends gots Momma interested, and dat's how Momma started and preadopted Diablo.  Her girlfriend, preadopted a black houndie boy named Loco.  He will fit wit in cuz dey bees crazy cajuns from New Orleans.  So boff of our fabilies will hab brudders in da same lidder.  Aintse dat sumfing?
Well, I fink dat today Momma is gonna wants a nappie herself.  She gots dem stitches out, but it hurt a lot and got her all worked up.  I'm off to dreamland. 
Tailwags to you, sweet Neba.
XOXOXOXOXOXXOXOXOXOXOXO

Hey Neba,
Wouldya know?? Ourse preadopted pups will be kumin from Owen Kennelz. Has your Momma sent in paperwork to preadopt Moon? Momma is gonna spend some time looking at da puppy pics tomorrow when she is feelin a liddl bedder. Ha Ha!! Youse Momma makes mine feels so much bedder about chippin'. My Momma just lubs houndies. Boff of da preadops Momma committed for were boyz. Pookie is a rweal handful all on hers own, and wants to rule da roost. And I aintse sure how dat will wurk if da houndies will be small dog friendly. We knowz dat Comet will habs to go to da bridge sumtime soon, wif his heart and kidney problems and all, and espechilly wif him being seventeen years old. He cantse so berry good and sumtimes we finks he's about as deaf as a post. He has been gettin worser in da last week or so, and Momma has been trying to put it off as long as she cans. It is just not a happy fot for her.
Dere was a rweal cute girl in da same lidder as Diablo and Chancho and she is berry similar in markings to Bullet. Her name is Sadie. There was one udder girl in da lidder as well and she is a red fawn and her name is Violet. I hopes dat youse Momma will get one of dem pups if dat is what she wants.
Momma has had a rweal bad afternoon and her arm has been gibin her a lot of pain. She says you are just the sweetest thing to send her the hugs, kissies, and ear nibbles.
Finking of you berry, berry often,
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXXOXOXOXOXO

Roo dere Neba,

Mom's appointment turned about to bees helpful dis time. Da orfopedik doktor said dat he needz to fix Momma's knee and has to skejul surjery. It will eider be dis kuming Friday or next Friday, depending on when dey can set up da consult for Momma to have to see da anasea nursie. Dey tried to call dat nursie on Friday but she wasn't at wurk, probably cuz of da holiday. Da doktor says da he has to make a kuple of holes in Momma's knee and dey's hook up a camera to a monitor so he can see's what he's doing. He's gotta remob bad tissue and make repairs to cardilag and ligamends. It is same day surjery at da same hospital as before only dis time Momma wontse be able to gets around for maybe almost a week. Daddy is gonna hab to take off wurk and take kar of Momma and all of us dis time. We'se not sure what's to make of dat.
Ise gwad dat youse Momma went to da mobies wif Morgan. Dat wus fun for dem go togefer. And rweal nice for youse to stay wif Oreo and keeps him company. Is he all bedder now?
We'se hads rain all day today, but no funderstorms so it aintse been bad. I just wanted to quick tells you whut was going on. We cantse neber tell when Momma's knee is gonna kollapse.

Uh oh, Neba,

Dat is a berry bad knee dat Momma has!! It kollapsed free more times dis morning already!! Den she was holding her weg and Daddy was farder down on da property askin if she wuz okay. I wuz finkin' she doesn't looks okay to me, and I can figger dat outse and Ise just a houndie! I hopse dat doktor fixes her knee fast. Dis is rweally terribl!! She was weaning on Pookie when she was walkin her and dat wasn't working out so good cuz Pookie bees much shorter den mees! Momma hasn't kyed one time wately from da pain which rweally surprizes me cuz Ise know dat she is rweally mizerable. Ise dontse knot how she does it. I fink dat all of dez surjerez and bandajez is rweally gettin on her nerbs do. We'se trying weal hard to be good and keep her laufin.
Momma and L'il Bullet saw dat tic tac about your human girl-Morgan's birfday so we'se hopin dats you answer da questhun about what she likes. She is a rweal cutie patootie. One of des days she is gonna habs a bunch of boyfriends and den your housie is rweally gonna bees busy. Orweo will be bangin dem off wif a bat!! You will habs to interbiew ebery one of dem to mak sure dat dey be up to snuff!!
Well, Ise better check on Momma and helps her downstairs. Sending youse lots of soft nose kissies!

Lots of lubs, Murphy

Roo dere Neba,
Dis bees Murphy!! Momma did gets to reply about youse human girl's birfday and we'll pardicipate for dat. Dontja worry none. : ) Daddy tooks Momma for a rides to Milledgeville today and most of everyfing was closed up on account of da holiday. But da had dere lunch out at Mexican college grwill. Dere are two colleges dere--George State College and Unibersity and Georgia Milidary College. Dere boff berry nice. Den dey cum home. Mom wuz wore out from tryin' to walk even wif her cane. But dey habin trubl wif Momma's car again but it's still under warranty and it's gotta got bak to da shop in Augusta which is about 30 miles from us. Momma already tooks it once and dey charged her $175 for a transmission oil change. Dis time she swears dat transmission needs fixin and she aintse payin no more money. She is fit to be tied. It acted up on Daddy dis time. It only do it once in awhile, but when it does, it is just not nice. She had it in da shop just a monff ago. Geez, dat makes me rweally mad especially when Momma isn't feeling good!!!
I guess dat youse Daddy is kumin home dis weekend. Too bad, he won't bees dere for Morgan's birfday. I hope dat he changes his skejul so he aintse gone so many weekends and youse can enjoy him more.
I hope dat all of youse had a good day. Dat temperashur is bak up in da nineties again. No more rain for now. We just hab lots of piles of fire ants. Ya can seem to get rid of dem here. Ya really gotta watch where you step. Haff da time, Momma is running Buwwitt under da hose to spray off ants dat he's gotten into. He's really gibbin her grey hares.
Can't wait to hears from you again.
Lubs Murphy XOXOXOXOXOXOOXOXOXOXOXOOXOXOXOXOOXOXOXOXOXOXOOOXOOXOX

Roo dere Neba,

Mom is only to gwad to helps out wif Morgan. Is you gonna bak a cake for hers birfday? I liks cake berry much. Sumtimes Momma makes cake wif banilla icing and den wese can hab sum. It's really good. Momma remembers when Daddy's girl used to lib wif us and it makes her sad dat she is gone. She did sum mean fings and left. It still makes my Momma cry. Momma used to bake lots of cupcakes and cookies all da time. And she took dat liddl girl eberywhere but maybe dat liddl girl gots too spoiled.
Anyroo, Momma wuld like to try and gets her car fixed and Daddy cantse always take time off. She is worked up about it anyways cuz she just paid dat money and da same fing is still wrong wif it. She is finking dat she was ripped off.
Ise really sorry dat youse gots to starb your Daddy when he kums home so he can gets dat medikal test. Dat stinks. He shuld be able to eat good when he kums home and not be hungry. Dat aintse right!! Is he feelin' okay?
Momma gots to gets more fireant killer cuz Buwwitt keeps rollin round in dem fings. It is almost liks he gots an attrakshun for dem. She gots to goes to dat hardwar store dis morning.
Crossin my paws dat youse be okay at dat bets and takin a nice naps about now.
