Bone!

Had a super yummy dinner tonight – A giant neck bone that my friend Chevy Stevens bought me from Wild at Heart.

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!

Pool time!

It’s another gorgeous day here on the West Coast – Perfect time to hit the pool!

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!

Hi guys

How are you?

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!

Thank you N/A Nothing Added!!!

As you know, I broke my healthy diet last night and had ice cream. Today I’m back to the healthy goodies!

I’m sure you all remember, how much I LOVE dehydrated duck feet – I blogged about them here, here, here and here.

You’re not going to believe what happened – The owner of N/A Nothing Added found out about me and how much I love their treats! They got in touch with my foster mom and I GOT A BOX TODAY!!!!!!!!!!! How awesome is that!?!?! You should all go buy their treats, they are soooooo good and healthy too!

You know me – I’m a workaholic, I never sleep on the job…. Needless to say I got started right away!

It was a big box so I had to work hard!

Almost there!

GOT IT!

Oh, there’s more in there!

PIZZLES!

Look everyone, I can chew 4 at once! Now that’s talent!!!

Oh! DUCK FEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are a natural source of Glucosamine which is great for gimpy puppies like me!

Check out all these goodies the owner of N/A Nothing Added sent me!
Pizzles, beef heart, lamb tripe, duck feet, chicken feet, rabbit ears, pig snouts and anchovies from RawPaw

You guys, I don’t know where to start!

Maybe with the anchovies!?!

But they all smell so good!

So my foster mom suggested pig snouts….

She went “Oink, oink, oink, wouldn’t you make a cute piggy!?!”

GIMME!

OH NOMNOMNOMNOM!!!!! So good!

Can we open my duck feet next!?!

Thank you sooooooooo much N/A Nothing Added for all the goodies!!!! LOVE THEM!!!! As hard as it is, I promise to share with Itty Bitty Boo and other Bully Buddies dogs

OMG!

You are NOT going to believe what I just had. I still can’t believe it myself. It probably was the most delicious thing I’ve ever had!

ICE CREAM!

My table manners went right out the door because I couldn’t contain myself!

*SLURP* More please!

They ended up having to lock me up in the XPen because I wouldn’t let Charlie and Boo have a turn…. But it’s sooooooooooo good!

Thank you Diana & Taylor!!!

Oh boy, oh boy! Big surprise today! I got another parcel!!!!

Charlie and my foster mom offered to help me with it but I said “No thank you, I’m good”. I’m doing better so surely I can open a parcel by myself!

Well hello there, little hole!

Getting there…

Now I just gotta get my teeth on whatever is in there and pull it out!

SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!! How awesome is this Angry Birds toy!?!?!

Look what Diana & Taylor sent me! I love it!

The toy is awesome, look at me go!

Thank you so much Diana & Taylor! You really made my day!!!

PS – I’m walking up to 200 meter 3-4 times a day! Baby steps but we’re getting there! I’m going back to hydrotherapy again tomorrow

I’m walking

Look at me, I’m walking! Using all 4 legs!

 

I can’t go far yet, only about 100 meters in one stretch. I often forget to use that 4th leg, especially if I want to ter parents make me go sloooooooow and then I generally walk ok.

I also have to admit that I’m back to being pretty scared outside. I forgot about cars and all the noises while I was locked up but now that I can actually go outside… well, I get scared again. I start to shake, freeze and want to run home. As you know, just before my leg gave out, I managed to walk all the way up to scary Hastings Street. I’m not sure I’d have the courage to do it right now besides the fact that I can’t physically do it.

Still lots of work ahead of me… baby steps every day.

You know what’s totally awesome though? Playing with Charlie! SO MUCH FUN!!!

On Thursday I went to hydrotherapy again, this time with Brenda. I was working really hard and used all of my legs to swim. After my swim I got lots of cuddles from Brenda. Also lots of cookies. Mmmmh cookies!
