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!
