Likes: going places, playing with my people, swimming, having my belly rubbed

Favorite Toy: tug rope
Favorite Food: PIGS EARS! Purina One - (don't even think about feeding me generic or anything lamb)
Favorite Walk: ANYWHERE - but usually I walk in my neighborhood with my mommy
Best Tricks: swimming underwater, catching food in my mouth, ringing a bell when I want to go outside
Arrival Story: When I was a puppy I had different people, but they didn't want me anymore so I ran away. Some guys found me and put me in a cage, they called my people but they said they didn't want me. I was so sad. But then some new people found me, there at the animal shelter, and they took me home. They loved me, and I quickly knew I was going to love them too. They are good people and I am so happy.
Bio: I love to play with other dogs at the dog park, but not as much as I love to swim at the lake there. If I saw a people come into my house, I'd jump up to say hi, because I am just the friendliest dog on the planet. I know I'm special because I'm the princess of my house.

The Last Forum I Posted In: Congratulations
My mommy and daddy recently took me on a camping/hiking trip. It was lots of fun. While I was with them, I did a couple of things that made them laugh and daddy told me that I should share my "jokes" with other doggies (so that their people can laugh too).
1st... mommy had just gotten back from the restroom in the morning. Daddy her to take me for a walk after she put her sweatshirt on. As soon as mommy put her sweatshirt on, I was ready to go. I guess they thought that was funny because I was listening so intently. No one had to tell me it was time, I just knew.
2nd... everyone, including me was really tired and just lounging around at the end of the day. Daddy said that in a little while he we was going to brush me off and we'd go to bed (in the tent). I got up, shook myself off, and went to the tent.... to let them know I was ready right then. They thought it was funny because once again I was listening so intently.
Well it's been several months now... Mommy hasn't allowed me near her computer in a while... I just wanted to let everyone know that my surgery revealed that I did have cancer :-( .... however, the vet removed the lump, said that it was caught early, and I should be just fine... does that mean I'm in remission? I guess so. So, anyways, the thyroid medicine has helped me so much... I feel and act like a young pup again... I can even keep up with mommy on our long walks - which I just love.
I also wanted to share with those of you who don't read the Dogster blog (shame on you), they wrote about us Doggy Cancer Survivors, and a great organization that is trying to help us.
I don't like going to the vet, but I'm a good doggy... I know the vet is there to help me, and that I need to see him once a year to stay healthy.
This week we finally found out why I can't keep up with mommy on our walks - I'm FAT! (which we knew) but I also have a thyroid condition (which is new to us). I have to on a strict diet of green beans (which I love) and diet dry dog food (which is what I've already been eating).... The portions are 1 cup green beans to 3/4 cup dry dog food. I only get a nibble of my favorite treat - pigs ears... which is much less than I'm used to. But I get to eat 2x a day, with a pill! But I only get pigs ears once a day - and not as much :0(
The pill is supposed to help me get my thyroid back under control.
Once that happens, I should start losing weight, and get my energy back. I also take mini walks, until I'm to walk more - at least 3x a week...
I get no more people food (other than the green beans) - which is hard for daddy and for me.... I love my people food.
I also have an ear problem... which I needs medication for, but it's ok... I get ear rubbings twice a day --- ahhh, that feels good :0) The vet says a lot of doggies are having this problem this year, due to allergies and the Texas weather
I'm having teeth problems due to too much bone chewing - so no more real bones :0( - so I can only chew on a small green teeth cleaning "fake" bone. I don't know about that.
I'm kind of scared, and so is mommy and daddy. The vet says I have a lump on my chest that has to be removed... I have to have surgery. The vet is pretty sure that the lump is not cancerous, but if not taken care of could become so... We trust the vet though, so I guess it will all be over with soon.
