Bio:
Muffin was an extremely healthy girl until November of 2006. She was diagonosed with mammory cancer at the age of nine & under went major surgeries that left her with two scars that are 11 inches each. In September of 2007 Muffin suffered from pyometra. This is a very severe infection of the uterus & it nearly took her to the Bridge. When Muffin was a puppy I did not want to have her spayed because she was so tiny. However, if I had made a different decision then she would have never had mammory cancer or pyometra. Getting a female spayed is not only the responsible thing to do for the pet population, but is a very healthy decision for your furbaby. If I had made the right choice way back then, Muffin would have been spared much pain & two feet of surgical scars on her little body. Thank dog Muffin is one tough cookie! Or Bionic Muffin, as Dr. Bob calls her. She's got just as much energy & spunk now as she did before any of her health concerns...& her same crazy-girl attitude. Her bravery & high spirits help me focus on the positive...because she sure does.

So Much To Say & No Thumbs To Type


I Am Such A Lucky Pup!

March 29th 2011 3:27 am
[ Leave A Comment | 2 people already have ]

I’m not sure who is more shocked that I’m turning fourteen years young today…me or Mommy. What I do know is that I'm exceptionally grateful for each day I get to spend with my family & that I’m a happy, healthy girl. I still have loads of spunk & am the reigning Queen of Crazy around this joint. Sadly, several of my friends & their families are hurting right now, so I’m sending each of them a gentle hug & pray that things will be better for them very, very soon.

On my birthday, I can't help but think of two of my extra amazing friends. First is the brave, strong & oh-so-sweet Angel Sammy J. He was born on April 1, 1997…exactly three days after me & that makes us Almost Twins! I think that’s pretty doggone amazing. I like the idea that Sammy J. & I arrived in the world so close together.

The other pal who comes to mind today is the loving & big-hearted Angel Willie. His birthday is Monday, April 4th & it should be a Dogster holiday if you ask me! Willie has always been my Yorkie idol.

I truly don’t need a single thing for my birthday, although a few extra baby carrots from Mommy would certainly be appreciated. (Nudge, nudge, wink, wink...I hope she takes the hint!) But I would be especially grateful if we all could send Angel Sammy J. & Angel Willie some extra love for their special days. They mean so much to me & to so many Dogsters. They are forever in my heart & I will always treasure their friendship. Not just on my birthday, but every day of the year.

Here's a special Birthday Challenge for everyone, should you choose to accept it. How about we all tell someone how much they mean to us today? It costs absolutely nothing but a few moments of time. And I guarantee that a nice, unexpected surprise is always a good thing. :-)

 

Up, Up & Away

Earlier today I sent some balloons floating up into the sky. My friend Willie would do this to honor his angel friends. Sadly, now I’m doing it for him. I made sure that Mommy bought different bright colors, like all the ones in the rainbow.

Mommy & I remembered the things we treasured about our angel friends & wrote little notes to send up with the balloons. I believe that Willie, Arthur, Sammy J, Miles, Miss Cali, Rockey, Scarlett, Gracie Jane, Stormy B., Sadie Boo, Rocky & all my Bridge pals are reading my messages & maybe sharing a laugh with me.

It is very gloomy & rainy here today, so the balloons stood out against the darkened sky. I wished that it had been a beautiful day, but Mommy told me a story that made me see it differently. She said that when you go up in an airplane on a day like this, the sun is shining brightly just on the other side of the stormy clouds. I wasn't sure if I believed that, but she swears it’s true.

After thinking about it I decided that life is sort of like that. Whenever you’re going through a scary & difficult time, there is always sunshine not too far away. It may come in the form of a kind word from a stranger, a phone call from a friend or doing something special with those you love.

My friend Willie has a magnificent Mom who loves him more than anything in this world. They devoted every waking moment to bringing one another joy & sharing it with others. When Willie became weak the last few months, they did all the things they loved to do together & made new & everlasting memories.

When someone passes away, people often say, “Oh I wish I had _________" or "Gosh, I should have _________”. More often than not, they could have done those things but for whatever reason did not. So in honor of Willie I think everyone should turn their computers & cell phones off for awhile & do something special for someone else. Call a friend & say “Hi, how are you?” or mail a card or note for no particular reason. Go & take a walk together & have a good talk or snap some silly pictures. Just go & DO something. You never know how your act of kindness may affect another person. It may be the nicest thing that happens to them all day. Those are the kind of memories I'd like to make for myself, my friends & family.

I think I’m going to curl up by Mommy, take a nap & dream about my friends getting their balloons. And to quote one of the greatest philosophers of our time…

No one can be uncheered with a balloon. ~ Winnie the Pooh

 

Wonderful Willie

I am prety doggone sure that if you look up the words “Friend,” “Compassion” & “Unselfish” in the dictionary, you'll find a picture of my friend Willie & his Mom. Sadly, life is full of people who seek attention & need to receive credit for their good deeds. Willie & Aunt Joni would never ever fall into that category. They're the most kind hearted & giving souls I know.

My first days on Dogster, when Mommy & I didn’t even grasp what it was all about, Willie & his magnificent Mom befriended us. I was going through my second cancer surgery &, quite frankly, my Mommy needed some reassurance. And there was Willie. He didn’t know me at all, but he took me by the paw & told me everything was going to be OK. And you know what? It was. Willie & I were fast friends from then on. I know that many of you have the same sort of story because Willie & Aunt Joni have touched so many lives.

If everyone, furry or not, had the heart & wisdom of dear sweet Willie, we’d learn the really important lessons in life like…

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.

When it’s in your best interest, practice obedience.

Take naps & stretch before rising.

Run, romp & play daily.

Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.

On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.

On hot days, drink lots of water & lie under a shady tree.

When you're happy, dance around & wag your entire body.

No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing & pout - run right back & make friends.

Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

Eat with gusto & enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough.

Be loyal.

Never pretend to be something you're not.

If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.

When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, & nuzzle them gently.

Cherish each moment & make special memories every single day.


Thank you for brightening my life Willie & for teaching me that everyday is to be celebrated with our loved ones.

And please know that all of us are going to take extra good care of your Mom. I promise, cross my Yorkie heart.
