Overall, I'd have to say it was a great summer. That leg was hurting something fierce, and even though I hate going to the vet, I was glad to see it go. It wasn't long before I was up and hopping around on three legs. In fact, I heard mom telling the vet that she was having a difficult time keeping me from overdoing it. I was just so anxious to get back to chasing cats and bunnies. In the meantime, I spent a lot of time doing my second favorite activity - laying in the shade sniffing at the wind. Finally, I was allowed to get moving- and boy did I! Those cats thought they were in the clear, me missing a leg and all, but boy did I surprise them. A take off fast as lightning! I never did catch one, but I think it was fun for all of us.

So, you can see why when I suddenly couldn't move my back end my people companions understood a life of not being able to around wasn't going to be any fun for me. They did the right thing and took me to the vet where I was given medicine to help me fall asleep. Next thing I know, I running over a bridge on four legs. Going top speed, I ran toward a meadow. And when I got there, well, you will never guess who was there waiting for me! Heidi! I had missed her so much and we immediately did a play fight dance, just like old times. She was surrounded by bald puppies. (Inside joke) When we stopped to rest I looked around and saw all of my favorite things- bunnies and cats to chase, vast meadows to run through, large pools of clear cool water, and bowls stacked with American cheese. Life couldn't be any better. :-)
