It has been a very very long time. Mommy has been really busy at work, and I have had a tough year too. Right after we left Dogster in 2008 I started to get sick. I got to the point that I could barely walk and Mom and Dad were really scared for me. I had TONS of x-rays done, and it was determined that I have Wobbler's Disease. Surgery was not an option for Mom and Dad so I was started on medications immediately, and did GREAT!!! Mommy was so thrilled. I was doing amazing and even gained weight. I have always been a skinny guy and never weighed over 135#, but I gained 15# and am up to 150!!!!

Then when Mommy thought everything was going great, the worst thing ever happened. I bloated!!! Mommy realized what was going on and rushed me to the vet. Mom and Dad were both crying like babies thinking they were going to lose me, but thankfully the vet was able to save me. My recovery from surgery took a little longer than expected, but once again I am doing well.

After all this I am doing great. I celebrated my 4th birthday in October and hopefully nothing else bad happens to me.

Sorry to hear of the tough time you've had. I'm glad to hear that you have the wobblers under control though and that you're feeling good. Here's a much calmer and healthier 2010. Wishing you and family all the best.
