My life as a lick addict

My Back Surgery

Hi everyone, I've had a busy summer. My crazy jumping ways finally caught up with me and I had to have back surgery in August. I was in a lot of pain and my mommy was very worried about me. She brought me to a doggie neurologist and found out I had a herniated disc in my back. I was taking medications for a little while, but they didn't help me. Finally, I was having trouble walking so mommy rushed me to the vet for help. Mommy decided, with the doctors advice for me to have back surgery.

I was a good boy and a very good patient. All of the doctors and nurses at the vet loved me, which was a good thing, since I was there for almost two weeks! My second mommies also came to visit me because they love me so much. After two weeks at the vet, some physical therapy and lots of love and care, I came home and was walking!

Now I am good as new and the doctor said I had a speedy recovery. I have to watch my jumping ways and now I use my ramp to go on and off the bed, I am being a very good boy, but I am so hyper that I just can't help to try to jump. Mommy doesn't like that though!

Last week I had my first outing since my surgery and we went to Washington Square Park for the Dachtoberfest, I was a big hit in my pink piggy costume. I was also filmed for the news because I am such a ham that I was dancing around and barking.

What a little ham I am. Maybe I will convince mom to put up some pictures of me in my Halloweenier Dog costume!

Happy Halloweiner Dog Day everyone!

I was a "Big Brother" this weekend!

My mommy went away and left me with two new friends who had a beautiful puppy named Frankie. He was so cute and playful and he jumped so high. I stayed at their house and showed my new little 'brother' the ropes.

Mommy says I am such a good boy because I was nice to Frankie and let him jump on me and be a puppy. I hope I showed him how to be a good dog. I missed my mom and she missed me when she was away, but I love my new friends and especially Frankie, I will see him again in June when we meet at the park.

Spring is here!!

I love spring because that means I get to go for a ton of walks! Yesterday I went to the park with my mommy and we walked on the trails, I was so pooped! At the end of the month it's the Doxie Fiesta at Washington Square Park, I can't wait to go see all of my Doxie friends. I think my mommy might make me get a bath for the special occasion.

Last month I had my first time at a babysitters house because my mommy went away. I loved it so much and I love my new aunts. They were so good to me and spoiled me rotten. My mommy says they might come to the Doxie Fiesta, I can't wait to see them again!
