Anthem

"I'm Still Your Dog & Friend"

Because I'm "just a dog", you see.
I don't sigh and say "Why me"
I just face it - go on living
And play the hand that I've been given.

I need you more now, that is true
For there are things I just can't do.
The ball you throw I cannot catch
I can't even lift my leg to scratch.

It's embarrassing a little,
that I may need your help to piddle
But if our roles were in reverse,
I'd be proud to be your nurse.

But hey, I love you more than ever.
Me give up? Well yeah, like never!
I don't regret what cannot be,
With you, my friend, I'll just be me!

I'm still me within my soul
Where it counts, I still am whole.
My back is bent, and I'm quite lame
but in my heart I'm still the same.

We got a new sister

On Saturday Mom, grandma and the aunts went out and brought home a new dog! She doesn't look like Cuddles and I. She has short hair and a little bit bigger than us. I didn't know who she was or why she was at our house. I stayed away from her for a while, but when it was time to go to bed with mom we sniffed each other a little bit. Her name is Missy fit. Mom and the other humans keep kissing and hugging her. Cuddles is very jealous, she doesn't like anyone else with our people at all. I once had a new sister named fae, but she went somewhere else. This is the first time Cuddles has had a new sister. Missy keeps wanting to play, but I'm just not ready for that. Ill let her sniff me and she can sit next to me but he cant have my food! I wish she would quit jumping on me. My mom likes her though, and she is very nice to them. Maybe she will be a good sister.

Tail wagging!!

Mom took me out to play the other day when it was nice out. I was running around in my wheelchair outside with my sister cuddles. I was so excited I was wagging my tail!! Mom was so excited, she said it was the first time she had seen me wag my tail in 1 1/2 years. She got some videos of it, but she cant get the videos to upload on this site. She has them on youtube though. You should check them out! Her site is www.youtube.com/doxielvr. Copy and paste that and you can see my tail wagging, yay!
Thanks
