Bad days

Layla, I hope you can hear this: I do miss you every day, you were all that had kept me going through the divorce oof the bad man you didn't like, through pt from the rollover car accident we were both in - you were not just the biggest part of my life, you were all of it. I love you too much and I need you. I wish I worked harder, tried harder to keep you in my life. I should have done more, because you did everything for me. I wish you had a better dog mom who could have fixed you, even if it means I would have never known you. you were a miracle dog, and you saved my life. What can I do facing a lifetime without you? Everything good in my life went with you.

I am in Doggie Heaven

This has been very hard lately. It seems that nothing could have preventedmy lifr from coming to a sudden end. I hope my loving, best Dog Mom, the only one who cared and protected me, knows she did what she could to help, but i did die in her arms, and that can be hard for anyone to get over, especially for someone who had so much love for me as she did. I tried to show her that things like this just, unfortunately happen, and I would try to get her to play frisbee with me, even though it sometimes hurt to do so. Just as she wanted the best for me, I always wanted to see her so happy. I love my Mom, and I have lived a wonderful 4 short years and we had the strongest bond. I hope she can remember me with tears of happiness rather than tears of loss as I see her now. She gave up everything to help me, and I still died, I am so lucky my mom cares about me so much to keep me from feeling pain, and I hope she realizes that when I died in her arms, it was the best place for me to leave. I was so close to her, and now I can take those memories of this kind momma who loved me wholly anywhere I am, after this.
I love you for everything you did for me.

"And Layla, I do hope I did you right, with all of the many ways to both treat you and still keep you the happiest dog in the world. My world revolved around you for as long as you lived - every day you were with me. I gave so much love and I don't know what to do without my baby girl. I love you Layla just as much now as the first day you fell into my lap, loved you through your surgeries, loved you though long walks at dog parks to play and play so much you didn't ever want to leave. I love you, my first true puppy love. I will never forget you, my baby girl.

My genetics

I am sick again, with a hereditary disease and I am sad and won't eat. The vet says its common for poorly bred dogs like me (I think I am not poorly anythng!) to have several diseases, and it seems I do.

My mom is vet mad and though I know she loves me she wishes I was a mutt rasther than the beautiful Cavalier I am. We don't know what will happen from here. I just want tp play again, but I do get lots of love to make up for chasing the birds.

Back to the vet

Poor me! I just found out that I have a urinary tract infection, which means that I have to pee about a million times a day. I'm on some medicine, and I hope it kicks in soon so I'm back to my regular pee schedule. A girl has to stay on schedule! All of these interruptions are keeping me from my walk-dates with my fun neighbor dogs. I just sleep and pee now, but my mom is taking real good care of me - lots of pets and treats with my yicky medicine.

I can't wait to feel better, and I'll be sure to keep you posted!

Thanks, Marley!

My mom just came home from watching a movie called "Marley and Me." I don't know what its about, but I got lots of treats and belly rubs because of it. She also said she's happy I'm the best dog in the world.

My other knee

So its official: I visited the scary weirdo vet doctor todaay and the xrays came in - my other knee is just as bad as my last one and I'll need surgery again. I don't really know what that means - I think I forgot about most of what happened last time - but my mom hasn't. She seems really upset about it, but I hope she feels better soon. I don't like to see my mom so upset.

They tell me I won't be going in until November, so I'll try to sneak in some playing and leaf chasing before then. It will be almost spring before I get another chance, and all the leaves might be gone by then.

Not again...

My mom is very sad today because I'm limping again...on my other leg. Once one had healed up, now it looks like my other knee is bad. I think I'm sad too, because I don't even feel like playing.

It's my birthday!

Hello, world! I've officially been around one whole year! What the best year ever, too. I'm the happiest dog, getting tons of treats and funny hats and belly rubs. I hope today never ends! And what's that? I think I smell more treats - yum!

I'm a winner!!

I'm jumpng for joy right now! I just found out I''m a winner!! And not just from my mom, who tells me that all the time, but from Dogster! I said a funny thing about a funny dog picture on the site, and some other dog thought it was funny too, so now I have all finds of new points to buy stuff for my furiends. I'm such a happy dog, I think I'm going to go get a nice long belly scratch right now.

My New Knee!

So a few weeks ago, I made my LAST TRIP to that scary dog doctor place my mom calls the VET. I can smell it a mile away and it makes me scared. They do give yummy treats, but it hurt when I went there once, a long time ago. This last time, they took another xray of my leg, and everyone was happy for some reason, especially my mom. It turns out that whatever was wrong with my knee has been perfectly fixed. All I know is that now I'm allowed to run and run and run again - as fast as I can!

I go to dog parks and people parks and all kinds of places that I almost forgot about and as soon as my mom takes off my leash - I RUN! It feels so good to play and stick my butt in the air that I almost forgot how. All the other dogs reminded me real quick though - I can run faster than almost all of them! (There's a dog my mom calls a Great Dane at my park, but I think he's part horse. He's FAST!)

It's the best thing in the world to run again without my knees stopping me, or feeling hurty. My mom's real glad that after all the yuckiness I went through, I came out of it even better than I went in, if possible. I think I'd run all the time now, if there wasn't so much to stop and sniff. I forgot how stinky my neighborhood was. I could smell the trees for hours!

Well, I'm bouncing around the house now, begging to go to the park One More Time! I'm even learning to catch a frisbee. I think I get it - THROW the frisbee, RUN after the frisbee, JUMP and CATCH the frisbee! Sometimes I lose it and wait till it falls on the ground first, but I'm still learning. I think I'll go practice some more right now!
