Rainbow Bridge

Bobo crossed the Rainbow Bridge into Heaven on December 8th, 2010. He had a bad back and 3 sudden herniated disks and became paralyzed within hours. We miss you so much, Bossy. But you have wings now and can play frisbee with your buddy J.J. again.

Doin' Swell!

My kneecaps is doing good. They bend good and I like to lick them to keep them shiney. Mom says they smell like corn chips cause I lick them but who cares? At least I dont smell like gross fruit and Dove like mommy does!

Me and mom took lots of walks this weekend cause it's a howliday or something. She was home a lot. We trekked up across the dirt field and ate goose poop (just me ate goose poop) and I also got to bite a toad when momma wasnt looking. Thats why I love the wind-up stretchy leash cause I can walk way behind momma or infront of her. Its good so other dogs wont make fun of me for obeying mom and heeling at her side and looking like a mommas boy. Anyways, I was behind mom and I bited a toad real fast then ran up to her. My tongue started to zipzap tingle a lots and I spit my spit out all over my face. It was bubbly. Momma looked down and her eye got real big and her lips were in a "O" shape. She looked worried and wiped my mouth out on her shirt. She knowed what I did when she remembered that she almost stepped on that toad. "IT WAS THAT TOAD!" she says. "YOU dummy now you know that you dont eat toads"! I acted like I didnt care and strutted infront of her.

After we trekked over the dirt field, we got to the new houses far away and I got to sniff a Westie girl. She didnt like me too much cause I had foam still on my cheek and forehead. She walked into her house real fast to her pops when he called her. He probably thinked that I had rabies! hahaha

Then I got too hot and splatted down into a construction puddle and mom swore at me like "UGH! Get UP! Damn now you definately need a bath!" I WAS HOT momma! You walks too fast! My belly was muddy and it feeld'd real good to run fast and have it windy under my belly!

So anyways, we tooked the bike path home which I love cause kids ride by me really fast and I try to stand in thier way then dodge them right befores they hit me then i chase them! (mom yells at me again "NO!")

Wehn we get to our house finally momma carries me up the stairs. She declairs its baff time! yay! I hopped in the tub and she squirted my mud off and sudsied me up good. Dad sayed I smelled good and they both kissed me. I smiled but they couldnt tell cause my lips are long and droopy. I ate dinner after that then pooped and went to sleeps with my clean blankey. What a good howliday weekend I had! No more toads.

Bo-skie

July 10th ACL surgery. I got a bum knee :(

So here it goes...
I got to go for another car ride again, but this time something was off- Mom drives and drives forever before I realize I had seen this scenery before! So the wheels are turning in my head (sometimes wheels that spin too fast for me to think correctly. Maybe that's why I chewed up Dad's ink pen last week. I knew it was bad but I kept doing it...anyhow....) I realize mom has driven us to that nice lady doctor that massaged my butt a few months ago! YAY but momma didnt look happy. She goes to the front desk and signs a paper and then another lady takes me towards the back . Mom runs up and hugs my neck and kisses my forehead and the door slams behind me! OOooo no! Is this where they do that thing mom was talking about last time? Surgeries!??
Before I know it, I get flipped over and pinned down and they take pictures of my knee and then off to sleep I go....again.....

A whole day passes where I have lost all sense of time. Mom says I've been drugged up. I dont even remember the ride home. I have that darn disk on my neck again and shiny metal wires holding my skin together.

Every 8 hours I get a big chunk of lamb meat though! Mom looks like she's mushing it on the counter and rolling it up before she gives it to me, but im not sure why. ...sike... I know there's a pill in there, but I dont care! It's too yummy that I dont chew it anyway!

So... my butt is shaved and I get a cold icepack on my booboo and a massage. This is not looking good for the lady-getting. So unmanly.


Boss

Owie...

Mom and Dad and I decided (well, THEY decided) to take a trip to see a new Doctor today. We made an appointment. It was my fault actually. You see, the other day as I hopped out of my personal drinking bowl (Mom and Dad use it too but they get my water all soapy so I have to wait till one of em rinses it out before they let me back into my drinking bowl.... anyhoo...) well as I hopped out of it this time, my left rear leg got stuck or something and my joint wouldnt bend. I had to hop on three feets till Dad ran over and asked me what was wrong. It hurt for a little bit, but then the next day I pretended I was fine. No luck. Off we went....
So this new Doctor is very nice. She massaged my kneecaps and butt! Ahhhh. My hipths or hipp? are in perfect working order, but my knee is slippery or something. No surgery, but I have to take un-swelling pills. Whatever... Back at home now and first thing on the agenda is mom HAS to take me for steady walks everyday to help me get muscles in my joints in that bum leg. If not...... well... if I get caught hopping out of the water bowl and running on three feets again, we will have to do SuRGEriES!!!!!!
I winked at the Doctor Lady and that's why I think she told my mom to walk me. I LIKE HER. (The Doc. ) ---and mom too. and dad.
Bye.
And I WEIGH 30lbs!!! I have my sexy small waist, but big boobs and elbow muscles are growing still ahhah ha ha ha

Doc visit; 1yr, 3.5 months

So I went back to the dog doctor for booster shots. I weigh 28.03 lbs. Mom says I feel like I weigh 35 because she carries me up and down the stairs so I wont hurt my back.
I got a skin scraping on the back of my neck because there was a one inch bald spot. It doesnt really itch, but doc wanted to make sure there werent any bugs on there. There wasnt. Mom thinks its from the Advantage monthly flea killer she put on there 6 weeks ago. That's my only bald spot thank goodness. Im too young to go bald.
So, because she spent $215 on all my shots and poop screening and scraping for bugs, I dont get any new toys or treats for two weeks! Doctors SUCK!

Removal of a certain body part

I was so excited to go for a walk this morning, but we just walked to the car and mom drove to the vet and just abandoned me there! I watched her go after she hugged and kissed me goodbye. I didnt know what was happening!
Next thing I know, these strangers poke me with a needle and flip me over and stuff a thing on my face and I start dreaming...
I wake up and try to focus but everything is fuzzy. Where's My Mom and Dad!!?
Hours later, Mom rescues me from these mean people. I walk wearily toward her and notice that my inner thighs touch! OUCH and my tummy is cold and hairless! What the---?
I get home and get pampered and get ice cubes and cookies. Im diggin' this!
Whatever's missing down there has somehow enabled me to get extra cookies. Works for me!... now give me a pain pill and carry me outside to piddle, mom. Thanks.

Oh by the way Im 1yr. 1.5 months old and weigh 27.08 lbs

All alone

So Mom and Dad decided to take a trip to the other side of the world in L.A., California so they can see the New Year thing. They left me with Grandpa and Grandma for 4 whole days. Mom called to see how I was doing and Grandma lied and said I was being good. Mom didnt find out later (from Grandpa) that I did all of the following things:

1. Barked from my crate at 6 every morning.
2. Drug Grandpa down the road when I took him for a walk.
3. Ate the corner of the fireplace rug.
4. Slept quietly on Grandmas lap for 6 whole minutes!!
5. Sped lightening fast across the street to the neighbors while grandma and grandpa had thier backs turned raking leaves (I had to-- I thought I saw a cat...or dog... or..I dunno- something moving...)

So, thanks to mean Grandpa, Mom and Dad now know that I was bad the whole time they were gone.

Isn't that what goin to the Grandparents are for!!!!!???
Right now, Im back at home and acting like a little angel with big brown eyes trying to make sure Mommy and Daddy still love me and wont leave to travel to the other side of the world to party with Mr. New Year.
And Grandpa was glad to see me go. I think I made him walk too fast... and stand too long while I sniffed deer poop.

Bye!

8 1/2 months --- 27.3 lbs

Hm..... Mommy said it's looking like imma be a biggggggggggggg boy! She cant believe that I was ever 8lbs... even 15lbs! That wasn't that long ago. What had happened was she said that her and daddy grew me up on love that that's how come im so giant!... and maybe cuz I eat rocks and crickets, too?

6 1/2 months!--- Im 22.2lbs

Mommy and I went to the vet to get more flea killer drops today. At first it stings and I try to scratch it but I cant reach my shoulder blades and it's real annoying!
I'm a little teenager now and I act like it too. One second im calm and lovey and the next, I dash up the stairs with a forbidden object (like a cell phone) and wait till someone comes and chases me down!...but they never look happy like they want to play. Cell phones are fun to chew on cause they light up!

5 1/2 months---20lbs, 12oz

Mom took me to the vet to get another Frontline because I ran out. Everytime I go to Grandma and Grandpas house, that danged ol cat gives me fleas!!! Everyone at the vet hugged on me and they let me lick their hair and ears which i looooove. I gotta cookie and I had to sit real still like on that thing that tells how fat you're getting. Mom (once again) thought I was heavier than I really was, but I think almost 21 pounds is big since im only 6 months old gosh!!

Arroooooooo
