My Life by Vincent Van Gogh

Christopher's Birthday 2012

Just a note. I love Birthdays at my house. We all get to share the birthday boys cake. yum yum can not wait.

Birthday 2012 yes!!!!!

Wow I am a special boy. My Human mom actually took a vacation day from her job, you know that place that takes her away from me every day so I can have kibble and treats. Anyway I woke up to a massage on Friday, then for breakfast I had scrambled eggs with salmon and cottage cheese over kibble. I had to share but that's ok. I chased two trains then we went to the park with one of my pack brothers. We walked around at the park and then I got to watch the water in the pond swirl around. I love that. The bluebirds were dive bombing in the pond. Then we went home and we each got a yogurt ice cube yummy. After that we were back outside chasing balls and birds and planes and hunting in the yard. So much fun to chase that hawk away from my brothers. That's my job you know, to make the Hawk go away. I played fetch with my shredded basketball for a while. Later we had dinner, chicken, tofu, green beans and kibble. The pack took a short nap cuz we are not allowed to run for an hour after dinner. Then we went back outside and each of us got our teeth brushed, nails clipped and we were groomed. Love the brushing part. We each got a treat for being good groomies. Such a wonderful day I could not be happier but then it happened my human mom brought out my birthday cake. She sang me happy birthday and then we each had a little piece of Home made doggy cake. I could have eaten all of it easy. Mom said she was just glad I got to have another birthday. What a wonderful day. Thanks mom.

I'm doin fine mom.

It has been a little more than a year since Vincent was diagnosed with cancer and lost his leg. He is officially a tripod as he has since the surgery placed his front leg in the middle of his body for balance. Vin does not even notice the leg is gone. He runs, jumps, jumps into the car, much to his mom's dismay, tears up the stairs on a regular basis. His last oncologist visit was very good. Now instead of visiting her every three months we will be going back every six. During the visit prior to that Vincent gave hope to someone else who had come to the clinic and had to hear the "C" word. Such an amazing boy that Vinny. If only he would stop giving his mom palpitations each time he jumps into the car or over one of his brother shelties. His oncologist told us, Vinny and me that is, that she would say he was in such good shape because of the chemotherapy except that I opted not to do chemo so she says it must be the love that has kept him looking so good. I told her it was the TOFU. Vin gets TOFU an immune booster CQ10, Salmon, Salmon oil, Flax oil and cottage cheese, lots of fruits and vegetables and low carb food. Mostly though he gets lots of hugs and gets to sit on my lap like a 35 pound lap puppy.
