Pet-Peeves: Doctors, little brothers, when mommy leaves, the vacuum, bath time, and when I can't get my blankies to lay right. Favorite Toy: A cow with no stuffing. A pink bear (that's bigger than me) with stuffing that mommy has to keep restuffing, and my baby doll. Favorite Food: String Cheese and Pup-Peroni Doggie treats Favorite Walk: Anywhere as long as I am being carried or in a stroller. Best Tricks: Rolling over, twirling like a ballerina, shaking hands, and eating Arrival Story: Gracie was a Birthday present, in fact she was the best gift I've ever been given! Bio: I have this annoying over bite. When you flip me over you can see that my top jaw is miles longer than my lower. But I guess that is what makes me so dang cute! I'm a keeper!!!!!!! Forums Motto: I\\\'m mommy\\\'s sweet little Girl
So last time I wrote in my journal was a LONG time ago. Lots has happened since then. Not all of it bad, but the fair majority of it is.
First change was that my mommy and daddy broke up and mommy, Gordon and I moved out. We left Gus and Gage with Dad. Mommy says it was only fair, whatever THAT means.
Second change, Gordon and I got a new daddy and he is wonderful! Not only does he love us like crazy, he is nice and warm to cuddle up with, mommy is very jealous that daddy and I have such a close bond in such a short time. Oh and mommy and daddy are getting MARRIED on August 1st!!!!
Third change, I'm blind now. There really is no explination as to why I am blind. Vet told Mommy that I might have a brain tumor but we can't afford to get the expensive tests done to find out for sure so for now I just "feel" my way around.
Four change, we moved to a different town. I can't tell you what it looks like but I sense it's smaller than Sioux Falls cause the air smells sweeter and it's not as noisy.
I am happy for the most part. I sleep a lot and my doggie senses tell me that all is not lost. Mommy seems to be holding up well which is what is important to me.
Have you ever been wandering though a patch of life wondering how to bring joy and happiness to the every day monotony? That was me 6 years ago. My wondering led me to the greatest gift of my life. Her name is Gracie. She stands all of about a foot off the ground and is as long as a football field. I joke, but she is a long dog with a very long list of wonderful qualities that makes me a better person and my world a better place in which to live.
The day had come to pick out “my dog” from a litter of three. It was a 2-hour trip one way and my nerves were straining to breaking point. In my mind I knew exactly what I was looking for but when we arrived I had not prepared myself for the event that would change my life. There I was totally in charge of my decision trying to pick between two boys, when out of no where “Gracie” had not only stolen all my decision making abilities, but my heart as well… Gracie chose me.
To this day you can’t find one of us, without the other. Gracie’s love for me is unconditional and on days when I don’t feel like I should be loved at all she greets me with such enthusiasm shown with her wagging tail and smothering kisses. When I look into her puppy dog brown eyes I swell with such emotion I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
In my world Gracie is the best dog ever not because she is better than any other dog, it’s because she is my dog, my faithful companion, my soul mate. The definition of grace is an undeserved favor and that is exactly what I experience every day in her presence.
Summer was here and now it's almost gone. It was a cold summer. And I hate cold weather. Good news is, mom is going to have to break out my little space heater pretty soon. Just the thought of it makes me happy. Mom bought us a new pool but we only got to use it 2 or 3 times. I personally don't like swimming that much, but on hot days it feels pretty good. Mom spoils us and fills our pool with warm water. She REALLY loves us. I think that's about it for now, everyone is happy and healthy, and I continue to have my mommy be at my every beck and call. :)
