To all my fellow pals, you have been there for my health issues. up down up down. You know how it goes for an old Saint. Well age is not kind on an old man. I now am leaking urine all the time. I cant get up without peeing on the floor. This is really embarrassing, i have been house broke for years. I feel like I am going backwards. My joints hurt. It is geting real hard for me to get up (harder then before). I have been extra brabby. i have even been growling at Abe(dumb on my part, he is WAY bigger than me). I have a lump on my side, now i have had iot awhile but it has been the same size for years. (i have already survived testicular cancer) but it has been really tender lately and we think it is getting bigger. Mom and dad know if the cancer comes back, I wont survive the treatment. i cant even survive the anesthia for a dental.!!!! mom has promised me i will not be allowed to suffer. thats nice of them since i have suffered enough. this is my last summer here and I am thinking about REALLY living it up these next couple months!!!! Me and mom are making
THE Bucket List! Things to do before i kick the bucket(go ahead and laugh but its going to be fun, Moms going to help me).

1. hit EVERY drive thru in the town(cheeseburgers)
2. eat till i am full (hasnt happened yet)
3. chase (or at least BARK at) the mean neighbor lady that caught our Ruby kitty in a trap and turned her into the pound when she KNEW she was ours!!!!GRRRR
4. go to the high school football field and run run run(might have to rest in between runs)
5. be at the corner when the icecream truck comes by and get my own icecream(or 2).
6. Go to the Puppy Paddle at the pool. Once a year the public pool lets you bring your dog and we get to hang out in the pool! I have little plastic blue pool.
7. Ride in a convertible with the wind in my hair!
8. Get a FULL doggie massage!
9. Get in my Grandmas fish pond just to try and catch one of them BIG fish (I will have to be quick she gets mad and she seems to have a fly swatter everywhere).
10. Eat a WHOLE box of DOUBLE DECKER Moonpies!!!! By myself!!!!

So me and mom are pretty excited. well I am, she isnt but she is being a trooper. So dont be sad. I am not alone like some poor pups. I have been pretty spoiled and loved. Mom and Dad took a chance on a mature BIG male instead of pup and I hope I have shown them I love them cause they sure have shown me they love me. My life has been pretty good. There is NO substitute for LOVE. Its what life is ALL about right. Thats what Jesus said. Root me on and if there is anything you think a old STUD MUFFIN like me should do before I go let me know. I know Gracie is waiting for me up at Rainbow Bridge. I am sure she has found ALL the good nap spots and the stashes of cookies. Although we all know its coming, She is going to have to wait just a little longer because this Sugar Lips has a few more things to do before I go.
