Hahahaha, just kidding!

I love hydrotherapy!

Today I was so excited to go, that I was running downhill. My foster mom had a hard time keeping up!

I worked really hard again in the water and it shows – My muscles are building up nicely!

When I got out of the water today, my foster parents were thrilled to see that for the first time ever, I stood like a normal dog – My hind legs were parallel to each other. Apparently that’s a great thing. Usually my left leg leans to the right and when I stand, I often rest my left foot on top of my right foot. That apparently is not how it’s usually done.

You know what else? I’m starting to be really bouncy again!

I’m definitely feeling better and getting stronger every day!

My foster dad went to Long Live Cats and Dogs, our awesome pet store in the neighborhood, to pick up some noms.

Even though Boo and I have only been there once so far because of our health troubles, we’ve apparently made a big impression (or maybe Charlie just charmed them both?) – The lovely owners sent us pups a super yummy buffalo liver cake home with our foster dad. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

If you are in Vancouver, go check them out! They carry really yummy treats, healthy food and lots of locally made products! They carry the duck feet (and other products) by N/A Nothing Added I love so much!

We just had a little picnic outside. Food and good company makes me forget all about how scary the outside world can be – AWESOMESAUCE!

Look at Charlie and me – We’re clearly the good dogs here. Boo is the wee brat who is convinced that sit/stay doesn’t apply to her!

Waiting is soooooooooooooo hard! But I’ve worked on my self control a lot!

Ready, set, go!

If you’re wondering where Boo is now…. She recently had pancreatitis so she’s currently on a special diet. We saved her a piece though hopefully for a later time.

Mine, all mine!

Lip smacking good!

I stole a huge piece and took off with it so I could eat it in peace…

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMHHHHHHHHH CAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Making sure that there are no crumbs left…

*yawn* Good morning! That’s right people, I’m just waking up now! A girl like me needs her beauty sleep. Plus… I’ve been partying it up pretty good last night as you might guess from the mess in my XPen….

I attended a cookie party last night… It involved yummy dehydrated elk heart I got from my friend Miyeko over the weekend.

First we had to do silly tricks like sit…. I’m a pro at this now!

And once we did that, we had to catch the cookie. I’m so awesome at this, look at me go!

My awesomeness got me a new nickname – COOKIE MONSTER

We had a lazy weekend! It was POURING here and you know what they say about Pit Bulls – Pit Bulls are made from sugar and will melt in the rain! Needless to say I don’t want to melt so I didn’t want to go outside at all.

Spent a lot of time snoozing in my sleeping bag – BLISS!

My friend Miyeko stopped by for a visit and brought me treats! NOM! Thanks again, Miyeko!

Now that I’m feeling better each day, Charlie and I have A LOT of fun together! WRESTLEMANIA!

We’re best friends forever!

He is sooooooooooooooooooo much fun!!!

Today is Thursday and you know what that means – HYDROTHERAPY!

Check it out, I’m standing a lot better now

I like smoochies!

FLOATING! As always floating = relaxed puppy = Sleepy puppy. Ok, fine. I clearly haven’t learned my lesson last week. I just can’t help myself. You should try it!

This is currently all the range of motion I have in my left leg. My left leg is the one that had severe external injuries, it also shorter than my right leg. The left leg is also the leg that was operated on the last so I’m still recovering from that. My right leg is a lot better. But you know what, I’m getting better every day. I’m working hard every day and I’m sure that will improve as well though I’ll never be 100%.

See – I’m working hard!

I’ve become such a good, strong swimmer in the recent weeks, that Brenda and Jacqueline can barely keep up when they let me go… So one of them ended up waiting for me at the other end of the pool.

The best part – Snuggles and cookies after I’ve worked hard!

I went to hydrotherapy again today and I was all relaxed as I was getting my massage…

I was also soaking up all the love I was getting from Jacqueline…

Warm water, massage, kisses….. I was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo relaxed and got a little sleepy and decided to close my eyes for just a second….

Next thing I knew, my head hit the water. Let me tell you, not a very nice gentle wake up call. It scared the bejesus out of me! Falling asleep when you’re in a pool? Not a good idea!

And would you believe it – My foster parents and Jacqueline thought it was hilarious and had a good laughter at my expense! So embarrassing!

Other than that, the session went great! I worked really hard and it is really helping me immensely!

I was bored so I decided to play hide & seek with my foster dad last night. He came to the XPen to take me out for a last pee at 4 am and he couldn’t find me! He thought he hadn’t locked me up properly. He ended up looking through the whole apartment and expected to find me in a de-stuffed couch or bed. When he couldn’t find me, he came back to the XPen and he finally spotted me. It was great fun!

I tried to play the same game with my foster mom just now.

Dang! She found me already! What gave me away!?!

Did I mention I just got this bed a little over a week ago? Impressive, I know!

Happy Mother’s Day!

Nothing makes me happier than eating a giant bone!

Thanks again, Chevy!

I taught myself to eat them on a towel so it’s not messy at all. And yes, I taught myself! My foster parents are quite amazed as they had to teach it to Charlie but I’ve done it automatically since day 1.

In other awesome news – I walked 600 meters in one stretch today!!! It’s a new record since my second FHO surgery. The last 50 meters I had to work pretty hard but I DID IT!

It’s been really quiet here the last few days, my foster sister is still at the vet. Even though she doesn’t like me, I miss her a lot! I’m still trying to be friends with her!

Yup, I’m deliriously happy about it!

As soon as we get to hydrotherapy, I rush inside. I’m always the first one by the pool. Apparently I’m the only dog who is so excited and rushes in before the people are inside.

I was working really hard today!

Both Jacqueline and Brenda were in the pool working with me. That’s right, I’m getting the VIP treatment at Aqua Paws.

A little massage… Aaaahhhhh yes, that’s the spot!

A bit of floating… I love it! Next to the massage, floating is my fav thing! Both make me relax and almost fall asleep sometimes! Actually I just lied… my fav things are the snuggles and cookies I get but massage and floating are fantastic too!

I love hydrotherapy! All I need is a cute pool boy to bring me a drink and it would be perfect!

All done!

Now that I’m physically a lot better, we’re upping the amount of hydrotherapy to 3 times/week!

Sorry for being a stranger… My foster mom has been very busy – She got a plot at the community garden so we’ve been hanging out there while she plays in the dirt. She’s also busy crocheting a blanket.

I got a new bed last week and promptly turned it into another sleeping bag.

I’m doing great! My progress is slow but I am getting stronger every day! I’m now at the point where I can go around the block twice a day. I was really scared again as you know but the last two days I thought it was quite fun to be out and about.

My foster mom took this video of me earlier today:

My foster mom is also working on setting up an online auction to raise funds for Bully Buddies. Luna needs double ACL surgeries (~$2000) and as you might have seen, my foster sister also had lots of vet bills. If you have any item to donate towards the auction, please get in touch with her or Bully Buddies! Thank you!
