My Story of Pain and Victory

DJ Jazzy Jeffz

I've added a ‘Z’ to the end of my name for a few days. They call me DJ Jazzy Jeffz around here. I'm walking more and more and more all the time. One of my vets (I have 3 of them!) calls it amazing. She knew I could get better but not this much better. I'm a very happy dog. I have some new friends, Lemmy and Iggy (my friends are Pittsburgh Penguins fans as am I). But having these new friends is not so much a big deal as I love other dogs. The big deal is that my new best friend is Rod, who is a human. Rod walked right up to me, leaned over and rubbed my head, turned around and sat in a chair. I ran right over to him and jumped up and down insistently for more. Eventually, Rod had to pick me up and put me on his lap. My mom thought it was amazing, since I've had issues with men before. So now I have some place to go when mom has to go out of town. I'm doing better all the time with people. Not so much in the house yet (except Dana- the girl who watched me for 2 weeks while mom was in Africa), but still amazingly calm. Me and my doggy brother Zeke play a little more now.

Well right now Mom has 2 dachshunds on the couch with her – one completely across her lap and me with my head on her leg and my little eyes barely staying open….soooo it must be time for nap #2 of the day.

Bark at ya later!

New Update

Yesterday, I walked about 20’ straight. Today I've been walking up a storm. And I don’t meet walk, scoot, walk. I mean WALK. ALL 4 LEGS!! My back legs are pretty stiff and atrophied but they are trying their best to get me around. (Did you see my new picture of me standing up getting a drink?)

And I have come to some conclusions:

I dosn’t like acupuncture at all. I say that’s for the birds.

I don’t like physical therapy. I says that’s for the birds too.

I don’t like people in the house. BUT, I love people OUT of the house.

And I love dogs.

BOL!

I say woof and wag my tail (and I've been wagging it a LOT lately)….I love my new mom & my new dachshund brother! (Did you see my new picture of us together? We could be twins!)

Bark at ya later!

Happy 4th of July!

I won't be out enjoying any fireworks, they scare me! All that loud noise makes me very nervous! Hope all my pals are careful and safe!

Did you know that the 4th of July is the highest day of missing pets all year?? That is scary! So make sure your humans put your ID tags on, its even better if you are micro chipped. And tell them to leave you in the house when the noises are loud so you won't be scared and run off to hide and not be able to find your way home again.

Bark at ya later!
