Mom here: Here is our first promised Saturday post and the whys of it. Now after all your curiosity, I really wish it were an around the world cruise or something quite exciting, and its not. Oh, to me it is, but its not.
On April 26th I will be going into the hospital for surgery on my knee. I will be requiring a total knee replacement, which I have needed for a very long time. The aftercare part of this is extensive physical therapy, 3 days a week for about 8 weeks. At first I will walk with a walker, then a cane, then hopefully, just dancing about on my own. The PT people also require doing exercises on your own at home. So I felt,I just wouldn't be up to helping Stella with her blog for quite a while, not to mention not doing much of interest to anybody. Then the more I thought of a once a week blog, the more I liked it. We could feature Stella, Ali Z and myself and each have some different say-so. We'll see how it goes.
Z here! I can tell you, I am not going to like this one bit. I will be alone in this house with Stella who just loves to chase me around and she thinks its FUN. What she doesn't know is that I have more hiding places than she ever thought of in her whole life. I don't care what anyone says, dogs are NOT all that smart. Uh, probably next week, Twinkie Twinkerson will be taking over my Advice Column and you should watch for it, it should be pretty good, heh, heh!Something interesting tonight, for those of you who read Ludo's blog and he spoke of a fellow who likes to build arty things with stones, and did so on Ludo's beach. I have long been interested in the Inuit Inukshuk which is a statue made of rocks to help the Inuit of Alaska to find their way about in the winter when there are no landmarks. You can see some photos of Inukshuks here . It is my wild wish to make one of these before our next winter if I can add enough stones to my collection!
So thats all for now. Try us again next week and we won't be talking about surgery or TEAMS. We will find somethings that will be of interest to all of us!.
Kisses, Cheers and Meows,
Stella, Jo and Ali Zophia

Dear Stella, Ali-Z and Mommy,
We wish your mommy a speedy recovery and we will keep her in our prayers.
Stella, you will never find Ali-Z! You may have to call 911!
Take care all.
Luv,
Riley and Star.
Best of luck with the knee replacement. We are rooting for you.
Good idea on cutting back on the blogging for a while, but we still want to hear from you.
I have a small Inukshuk (ok, not just balanced, but looks right) that was given to me by some of the Canadian team that I work with. It has a prominent place on my bookcase. Very interesting.
The surgery won't be fun the the result will be miraculous! I'll congratulate you now on your new knee!
We'll be looking forward to hearing how you're doing. 2eep us posted!
Well, what a stupid post.
OF COURSE it interesting to hear about your surgery silly Jo, we very interested in you because we care about you lots and I expect to get all updated on how it goes and how you hobbling about after!
ok. Now I has done my tellings off I think that your saturday posting a good idea and I likes your little piccures! I hope you does manage to make your Inukshuk.

Oh no...I hope the surgery goes smooth and your mommy has a speedy recovery.
I hopes your knee gets better real fast and you are dancing a jig in no times! I will very much look forward to Saturdays knowing I gets to hear from you and Stella and Ali Z!

I like your new blog. Once a week is fine as long as you don't stop! I love reading your blog! Have a Happy and Blessed Easter.
We think you new plan sounds very sensible. You'll be able to collect ideas and events all week to share with us.
Now, Stella and Ali Z, no bickering. This is the time when you step up and help your mom, OK? Got it?
And, to your mom, I'm glad that you're doing this surgery. I've known people who've had the same surgery and it's been miraculous. They can walk and be active without pain after the recovery.
You're very wise to cut back other things so you can focus on recovering. If you follow all the PT instructions, it can take all day long :)
BTW, Ali Z, in case you care, you contradicted yourself. If dogs aren't smart, then why should we even look at Twinkie's new column???
Ali Z here: I really meant to say that MOST dogs aren't all that smart. But Twinkie has an edge on them, he is smart AND funny. I mean when you are a teacup chihuahua,with three good legs and weighing in at 4 lbs. you gotta have some extra stuff going on, right?
Meow, meow!
Every time we see your new blog look, we just love it even more - it is so beautiful and tranquil and peaceful. We wish you the very best for your surgery and recovery, Jo. Do take care of yourself and accept all the help you can get. And good luck with your rock project.
Happy Easter.

Happy Easter Sunday!

Stella's Mom: I hope that day of dancing on your new knee comes sooner than you think.
Stella and Ali-Z: I hope you treat your mom well and let us know how she's doing. I'm sure you'll survive each other's company.
Hi, Stella, Ali Z and Mom!
Now we know!
I am sure everything is going to be fine!
You have already a good plan!
I will have my paws crossed for you Mom, wishing you a veeeery fast recovery!
Take care
Kisses and hugs

That's a cute format and nice choice of photos too. :) I'm aiming for Tuesday and I'm aiming to make you proud, okay maybe just not embarrassed.
We hope all goes well and you exceed all expectations and deadlines. You also owe us a dancing shot, mommy :)
Twinkie
We hope you and Stella are dancing about very soon. Best Wishes for the surgery!
Your pals, Morgan & Maisie
Best of luck with the surgery -- hope it goes well and you are back at 100% very soon! Stella, it sounds like you have a crack team (an A-Team, if you will) to take care of things during your mom's recuperation, so we're sure everything will be fine!
We are wishing you the best for the surgery and just know that Stella and Ali Z will be great urses!
Smileys!
Dory and Beth (the Mama)
We will be thinking lots about you - I like your thoughtful idea about blogging in the next bit of weeks and know how hard you will be working on your recovery. We want to say Happy Easter for today and will check in to see how you are coming along.
Big Hugs xo

It sounds like you will have your hands full so blogging once a week is fine. We hope that your knee surgery goes okay!
Steve and Kat
Oh shoot, I was so excited. Now I'm a little worried. I really, really hope you are back to your snarky self in no time. :p
Stella is so cute! Best of luck with the knee surgery. Can't wait to see you back next week with an update!
Stella best wishes to Mom with her surgery. She has a great support system so we know she will be dancing on the table top before long.
Ali you find a nice warm spot to hide during the daylight then come dark you can roam about the cabin freely.
Madi adn Mom
Hi Jo, Stella and Ali Zophia,
Now I shall always have something to look forward to on Saturdays. I hope there won't be any quarrels about who gets most 'airtime' on the new style blog!
All the best with the surgery - my mother had a knee replacement operation about eight years ago and hasn't looked back since. Hope it all goes well for you too.
Cheers! Gail.
