Arrival Story: I was living up in another state and a friend of mine had just bought Vin from a breeder- he was to be a working dog because this was in the country where people had horses, sheep, etc.
They had just wanted him for a pet. It turns out, they couldn't keep him due to the landlord- and there was no fence. She told me she would probably take him back to where she got him-but Vin had already met my dogs I had then, and he was so shy. I told her: "Don't take him back there (besides, they docked his beautiful tail- AND they had named him "Vicious"- I renamed him, of course), I'll try and find him a good home." Well, we bonded so quickly, and he was already a member of the pack, so I just adopted him myself! He's still very shy with people and dogs he doesn't know. He's been that way ever since I got him. But if you meet him and become "a trusted human", he'll be asking you to pet him over and over and over....ooo, scratch the ears, scratch the back, wait, where are you going? Pet me, pet me, pet me!
Bio: I've had Vinster since the summer of 2000. He was about 6 months old when he came to live with us. He's moved with me over 1500 miles, seen me through losing my three other dogs, has always been there for me, and is never, ever more than a few feet away from me at any given time. I know he's a dog, but I sometimes wonder....he's just so smart and I could swear he knows what I'm thinking! I've never seen a dog like him. To say he's loyal is an understatement! But anyway, having a working dog and no livestock to herd, keeping Vin occupied has been no easy task. He loves to have a "job" to do. He doesn't need a leash on our walks, so I let him carry his with him, tucked into his harness. That way, he's free to "herd" the rest of us people and dogs up in front, and make sure everyone stays in line. He's focused, and that makes him happy!

No, no, no worries. There are coyotes- no monster men- no REAL monsters. 'Sammy likes to think there are.
What I fear is Halloween, when the kids come out for treats, and we bark, bark bark.
Mom has to turn the lights off like "were not home". She actually likes giving candy out- but we bark too much, like the 4th of July.
It really IS a fun holiday. all children should enjoy it. Mom did. but then it got unsafe for kids.
Better for kids to be at the school fairs, than going door to door. Better if parents go along, I guess. but it is a barker....
Well, mom has taken me to the vet for a check up, especially about my squishy fatty toumors. She was so worried. We saw our vet, and it took mom about 3 vets until she found a good, experienced vet, that she settled on.
So, we trust him. I guess if anything was really wrong, our vet would have ordered tests. I'm not uncomfortable, but my belly is so tight, and those "fatty toumors" squish.
Do any other older doggies have this problem? My Mom is thinking about taking me to another vet.
Plus I'm so thirsty- again, mom told the vet. We are worried.
Okay I'm not ,mom is. I'm going to be 10 in December. Have a good appitite , go for walkies, on meds for itching (not fleas) allergies.
Okay, she is all worried about me. Can any other older doggie tell me if they have those big squisy fatty tomours?
Thanks, The Vinstmeister
Yippee!
Good that we've had a little, not so good for walkies.
Our human is still a little under the weather, we don't have our regulsr walkies, (like every night) but we are gettting back to that.
Real good dinner tonight- baked chicken.
She still feeds us good! And treats! Haven't ran a whole lot, but it'll get better.
Mom gives me my medicine, and I am so much better.
Maybe it's because of the medicine, maybe because the weather is SOOOO much cooler. I feel so much better.
Mommy is happy because I don't itch nearly as much as I did when it was so hot, and before the VET gave me the new medicine.
