“You know how it is with some girls. They seem to take the stuffing right out of you. I mean to say, there is something about their personality that paralyses the vocal cords and reduces the contents of the brain to cauliflower.” ―P. G. Wodehouse

Play dates with my bro make my heart and soul SMILE!
Friendship isn’t about whom you have known the longest… It’s about who came, and never left your side…
Since I am at puppy school, I thought it would be fun to highlight some of my friends’ best photos. I love this one of Lily and Mabel (Jennifer & Lindsay’s pups) cuddled up for movie night. I love a good cuddle. I hope the feature film was Benji, Turner & Hooch or, 101 Dalmations! Woof
Always behave as if nothing has happened, no matter what has happened. – Arnold Bennett
Today I headed off to boarding school at Diane’s Canine School of Charm. So much to learn about what my humans want from me but I am an eager student. I have also made fast friends with a golden and a cute little Weimereiner. I’ll keep you posted!
This photo is Diane meeting me for the first time. She also told mom that it was the last time she would let me jump up on her. What? No jumping? Hmmmmm….that’s a new one!
“Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. It means that you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections.”
I am so happy today. Full of energy and spunk. Feeling much more like my normal puppy self. So I’m NOT perfect right now–who cares? I am smiling, playing, loving on my family and ready for the world! I EVEN jumped into the front seat of mom’s car today without any help. Woof!
“If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans” ~James Herriot
Just can’t say thank you enough and since I can’t talk, I dropped this off at my vet’s office today when I ran by for a check up. Nothing like a collage of my cuteness to make their day. Woof
The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love. ~Hubert H. Humphrey
Today I just laid around and enjoyed the friendship and love of my family. It is important to just sit back sometimes and reflect on how lucky we are to have friends and family that love us. Healing will come with some time but irregardless, I am one lucky dog.

It is SOOOO good to be home.
I have had a long week trying to get better and now my work continues at home. I have been blessed with fabulous care from Dr. Bogue and her staff and have been loved so very much (appreciate the notes and photos from all).
This afternoon, my brothers and I have enjoyed a full-fledged puppy palooza party. I think they actually MISSED me! We even made music with our toys–and discussed starting a four-legged boy band and taking our act on the road.
Where am I today? I am slower and less coordinated than before I got sick. I’m a bit wobbly at times and am not fond of stairs right now. I am on a bunch of drugs for the next five weeks and we still don’t have a definitive answer as to what really happened with me BUT, we are hopeful that I am on the mend. I am up and moving around, eating fine, playing with toys and other pups and when I get tired I just lay on the ground and play more–I feel my inner puppy bubbling through again.
Glass half full? It is ALWAYS good to be home.
Grin and BEAR it
