Of course I was a little hesitant about taking on the responsibility of another pet, and a blind pet was something I had no previous experience with. I was down to one 22 year old cat (Wee Wah) in the house and had been telling myself, this was it. Nevertheless, I said I would like to meet him and we could go from there. Well, meet Jake I did and needless to say that was it. I took one look at that little ball of fur with his happy baby puppy face and I was in love! Before meeting Jake I'd checked out numerous web sites about blind dogs, as I wanted to do my best to make sure Jake's life was as happy and normal as possible. While we did have hopes that Jake might have an operable blindness, we learned that Jake is completely blind and it's not an operable condition. The way the doctor explained it, we all have a disc of some sort on the back of the eyes and Jake was born without them, a condition which can't be corrected. Nevertheless, after all was said and done, Jake surpassed all hopes and expectations to become the most joyful, loving, confident, little man around. In the same month that I adopted Jake, I also found myself adopting two other cats as well, one less than a year old cat who had been left in an apartment when the tenants moved out and a calico kitten who showed up on the back yard patio. So within a month I had a house full of new pets. Bio: Jake loves his feline brother and sister, Moe and Koko. Wrestling with Moe is one of his favorite passtimes and racing through the house all three chasing after each other is another. Jake also loves playing catch, inside and outside of the house. He'll go into the living room and wait when I tell him to, "go get ready" and then I'll toss the ball to him and he'll pounce on it, catch it and bring it back to me to throw all over again. Outside, he'll go down to one end of the yard, and we roll a ball to him and he's on it every step of the way. Of course there's huge applause with each catch and return, which he just loves. He also loves going down to the beach, where he can run full out and meet up with all his buddies.

Spring is just around the corner, time for Mom to finally put away my winter Parka, YIPEEEEE!! This morning mom gave me a full pedicure, brushing and brushed my teeth, then we went for a nice long walk and the weather outside was just beautiful! Mom keeps trying to take some new pics of me, but every time she gets me lined up in the lens, I move....oh well mom, keep trying, BOL!! :) I'm so happy that the weather is warming up, that means more and more time outside, which I just love!! Yesterday mom and I went down to the beach where I ran all over the place and stopped only long enough to listen to the seagulls. Mom calls me her "fly boy" because I fly all over the place when we're on the beach, it really is my favorite place because I can run all over and not bump into anything! I will try to stop long enough for mom to take some new pics of me soon, wish me luck with that, BOL!!
My family and I just want to say Thank You Dogster for making me today's "Diary of the Day" on DOGSTER!!! We love Dogster and are greatful for all of our wonderful Dogster friends. Also want to give a huge BARK OUT to all of my PAWSOME PUP PALS!! And by the way yesterday was my grooming day, mom clipped the hair on my paws, trimmed my nails, brushed, combed, bathed and dried me. Now I'm ready for anything.....who knew....BOL!! Thank you Dogster!! WOOFS & WAGS!!!!
Mom and I went to the beach today, WOOOOOO HOOOOOOO!! What fun!!! I ran all over the place and we had the beach almost all to ourselves, except for two new little friends that I met, both came running down to meet me, Darla and Mimi, two cuties and both smaller than me (I like that). Hopefully, next time mom will bring the video camera. What mom did post here today, is a pic of me napping on the bed when we got home, while she's on the computer.
