Bath Time!

Yup, I got into some mud today! Mommy and Terry and my doggie brothers and sisters were on the deck in the backyard and I snuck off to the front yard and dug in the big mudhole where Mommy had a big bush pulled out! It was SO much fun! I don't know why Terry put a big piece of wood over the hole...now I can't play in it anymore! My big brother Remington played in that big hole the other day and had to have a big bath, too! I'm really good in the bath now! I even get to go in the big bathtub instead of in the kitchen sink! I stand really nice and wait for it to be done! Mommy said it's a good thing I waited for it to be two weeks after my surgery so I was able to have a bath!

I've been back to playing lots all the time! I'm all better now, except I just have to have my stitches out next week. Mommy thinks they might have to knock me out for that because she doesn't know how else they'll get me to sit still! She says I'm too much of a wiggle butt!

Well, I'd better go. Mommy said the internet is acting funny and it doesn't want to upload my picture and she doesn't know if it'll even post my blog. And after all my playing in the mud and taking a bath, I'm really sleepy and I think I'm going to take a nap with Remington on the doggie bed! Good Night Everyone!

New Videos!

My Mommy made new videos of me today! They are pretty short and have some of my brothers and sisters in them. Mommy said she'd help me put the links on the bottom of my blog post tonight!

I had fun playing today! I feel so much better from after my surgery! I played with everyone today. My big doggie sister Natasha even played with me! And this morning I jumped on Mommy's head and kissed her WHOLE face to wake her up!

Yesterday I went to the Waggs and Wishes Bark-B-Que and it was so much fun! I went with my foster sister, Gladys. Mommy says we had bonding time. Today I followed her all over the yard! I tried to play with Gladys, but she doesn't really do doggie playing. Only tug sometimes with people...especially Daddy. She LOVES Daddy!

Yesterday people kept saying that I am such a lucky boy to have been adopted by my Mommy and Daddy! Mommy says people have to stop saying that! Mommy says that SHE is the lucky one to have me in her family! I guess we're both pretty lucky that we found each other! Mommy always tells me how she loves me big lots! I love my Mommy, too...and everyone in my family...and everyone I ever see!

Well, I'm going to go and get Mommy to post links to my videos so we can have some cuddle time before we go to bed! Good Night Everyone!

SO Tired!

Today I went to the Bark-B-Que for Waggs and Wishes rescue with my foster sister Gladys. It was SO much fun! I got to see my Aunt Rae and my Aunt Angie and LOTS of other people and doggies! Gladys had lots of fun, too! Gladys didn't find her forever home, though. :( My Mommy and Daddy LOVE Gladys, but they really want her to find her family. But she can stay here until then, that's ok.

Last couple days have been kinda ucky. I was pretty sore by my shoulder and my Mommy still has a sore shoulder and she was really sickies for a couple days. We just kinda laid around for a few days on the couch. That was pretty nice, though! I got to do lots of cuddling with my Mommy and gave her SO much kisses!

Well, everyone, I wish I could write more but I am SO tired from the big day at the party picnic that I really need to make some sleepy time! Good Nite Everyone!

Not much to say

I don't have much to say tonight. Mommy's shoulder is sore, I'm pretty sore today, and poor Remington isn't sore today but has to be kept quiet and doesn't wanna! His thingies (or where his thingies were) was swollen really bad from his neuter and yesterday he started bleeding all over and Mommy and Terry had to take him to the emergency vet. He's ok for now, but has to go back to Dr. Mark and might have to have more surgery to remove the scrotum where it's all ucky. I feel bad for him. And he has to wear the big stupid lamp shade thingie so he doesn't lick.

I was pretty sore today and don't want to do much. I cried a little bit when I moved just right. I feel better now. I ate all my dinner and that always helps!

My big people sister Brooke has a friend who needs a new home for her doggie. It's a golden retriever/pitt mix and he's almost 3 years old. He's not neutered and he really needs his shots and a patient family who can spend some time training him. He's very friendly and good with kids and doggies and kitties. If you know anyone who can help, please send my Mommy a note!

Well, I'm gonna go lay on the couch with Mommy so we both feel better! Good Night!

boo boo boy

Hi Everyone! Had a pretty nice day today. I stayed with Terry for all morning because my Daddy took my Mommy for her MRI thingie. (She'll get the results maybe Tuesday) Last night I got to sleep half the night with Daddy and half the night with Mommy! Mommy is sleeping on the couch because she has to put her shoulder against the back of it to keep it supported, and she gets up a lot because it hurts and she doesn't want to disturb Daddy. So it was kinda special for me because I had TWO special sleeps! Then Mommy and Daddy came home and I napped with Mommy and Daddy took me for a little short walk outside because I wanted to go so bad. Then Boz wanted to play with me so he was laying down and I was chewing on Boz's face and I bumped something and I started to bleed just a little bit, so Mommy held me on her lap with a wet wash cloth. It wasn't bad. I got tired of her holding me and wiggled away and went to lay in my crate. I like it in my crate. I can go in there when I don't want anyone to bother me! It's my own special place!

Mommy got a call from her regular doctor today. He got the results of the xrays and Mommy has a fractured shoulder. We won't know about the torn rotator cuff until she gets the MRI results next week. Mommy was pretty sore from the way she had to hold her arm when they did the MRI thingie.

Well, I'm going to go because Mommy wants to lay down and I love to have cuddle time with her! Good Night Everyone!

Home from surgery!

Hi Everyone! I had my surgery yesterday and I had to stay the night at Dr. Mark's, but I'm home now! My Mommy says it's like nothing happened at all! I don't mess with my stitches or anything! Mommy says the hardest thing is that she's supposed to do is keep me quiet for a few days, but I'm a puppy! I want to run and play and jump on and off the couch! Dr. Mark said to make sure I don't bump my boo boo. I don't even have a big bandage anymore. Just lots of stitches! Mommy didn't count them because she says that stitches gross her out! Dr. Mark said the surgery went ok. It was kinda harder than he expected because it looked like when the guy stepped on me and broke my leg he did something to the shoulder too because it wasn't really "right" and a little weird to remove. But, it's all gone and I'm just fine! Mommy says I even stand up straighter! I used to kinda lean to the right a little because of the old leg hanging there, but not anymore! I even had my "boy thingies" taken care of while I was there!

Mommy still has a boo boo shoulder. Tomorrow she has to go to the hospital to have an MRI thingie done. She was worried about that because she had one before and they had to put a big needle in her shoulder, but she found out that they don't have to do that this time, so she's ok. Then next week she's going to a bone doctor to find out everything that's going on. Mommy's regular doctor thinks she has a torn rotator cuff. I don't know what that is, but Mommy has her arm in this thing that holds it in front of her, and whenever she moves it she makes hurting noises!

Anyway, I'd better go so I can help take care of Mommy! And I want to thank everyone again who helped with donations for my surgery! You all are awesome! Love you!

almost time!

Hi Everyone! Well, day after tomorrow is my big surgery day! I'm going to have my front right leg amputated! If you don't know why, go ahead and look at some old posts and some of them have my boo-boo leg story!

We haven't been doing to much. Mainly because Mommy went to an adoption thingie with my foster sister Gladys and she thought she'd try to help out by taking a doggie for a walk that was in a crate. Well, the doggie tried to take Mommy for a walk instead and Mommy has a big boo boo on her right knee and down her leg, and she has a big boo boo right shoulder, and it's in this thing called a sling! She went to her regular doctor today (she did go to the emergency room on Saturday first because my Aunt Rae made her!) and tomorrow she'll have an appointment with the bone doctor. Mommy says she dislocated it when she fell down, but the doctor thinks she tore something called her ratator cuff. She might have to have surgery, too! I think Mommy just wants to be like me!

Anyway, Mommy took her pain medicine and is going to go crash on the couch and I want to cuddle her to help her feel better so I'm going to cut this one short!

And remember, if anyone can help out with my surgery, there is a chip in link! Thanks everyone! good night!

Mommy says I'm cute!

Mommy says she loves to just watch me play! She says she loves the way I kinda bounce when I run because I only have the one front leg that works! And she said that when I run I always have this giant goofy smile with my tongue hanging out! And she loves the way I will just run from one thing to another, quietly playing all by myself, always looking soooo happy! That's because I AM so happy all the time! Because I have an awesome family that loves me so much! Even my doggie brothers and sisters love me! They play with me all the time and they watch out for me because I'm the baby! And when I'm not playing I have comfy beds (I even get to sleep in people beds! Not just doggie beds!) and a safe crate I can nap in, and yummy breakfast and dinner and treats and there's always bowls with lots of water inside and outside!

Not all doggies have wonderful families like I do! That's why everyone who wants to be a wonderful family for a sweet doggie like me should go to the shelter or to a rescue and find someone who will love you more than you could ever imagine! Tomorrow at 12 Mile and Woodward at the Pets Supplies Plus store my Aunt Angie and Waggs and Wishes is going to have an adoption event! That is down in the city from where I live! My foster sister Gladys is going to be there! I put a picture of her on here. She is a Black and Tan Coon Hound! She doesn't hunt or anything though. She likes to cuddle with her people all the time and go for big walks on her leash! My Mommy loves her very much, but Mommy wants Gladys to get a good forever home so we can help Aunt Angie save more doggies! There are going to be other doggies and kitties there, too! And on September 25th they are going to have a Bark-B-Que in a town called Ferndale! It's all the Waggs and Wishes website. That's www.waggsandwishes.org . They are going to have all their doggies and kitties there, too, that need wonderful forever homes! And I'm going to be at the Bark-B-Que! I can't wait to meet everyone there who reads my blog every day!

There's just one more thing! On Wednesday (that's 9/15/10) I have to have my boo-boo leg amputated. When I was just a very baby puppy the man that owned my doggie Mommy (She is looking for a forever home, too!) stepped on me and broke my leg in three places. He didn't bother to take me to the doctor or anything. He was going to drown us puppies in a big thing of water but someone called Aunt Angie to come save us. When Aunt Angie got us, though, it was too late to fix my leg. It kinda gets in the way sometimes when I run and play, and the doctor said it's going to grow funny, so it has to go away. It's going to cost my Mommy a lot of money and she's hoping that some nice people will help her out a little. Mommy made a "chipin" so if anyone wants to donate something (even something little helps a lot!) you can do it right through paypal! I put the "chipin" right here on the page so you don't have to look for it!

Well, I played a lot today and I'm really tired, so I'm going to go now. Good Night Everyone!

No Baths Today!

I was such a good boy today! I didn't get into the muddy water at all! I went down by it once, but Mommy yelled at me to get out of there and I listened! We played a lot! Boz even played a lot with me!

Today Remington and Gladys came home from Aunt Rae's! They are both very sleepy and woozy acting. Boz said Remington "joined the club" and he said that I'm next, but I really don't know what that means. And I guess Gladys didn't really need to go. They were going to cut her belly a little bit and tie something up, but when they shaved the hair off, there was already a scar where it had been done before! So she just got to get woozy! Mommy says I have to leave them alone tonight and tomorrow so they feel better.

Pretty soon it's going to be the Bark-B-Que! I'm SO excited! If you want to know about it, go to www.waggsandwishes.org ! They are going to have lots of doggies and kittys to adopt and lots of games for doggies and for kids, and food, and a special picture taker guy who will take professional pictures for a $25 donation to the rescue! And you get to keep your pictures!

Also, my surgery is coming up to have my leg amputated. Mommy made a "chipin" thingie in case anyone wants to help out. It's going to cost around $600 and that's a lot of money for my Mommy, but she wants to make sure she takes good care of me. It's all through paypal, so it's really easy! You can even just click the link at the bottom of my post to help out!

Well, I'd better get going. I think I want to cuddle by Remington or Gladys for a while and help them feel better! Good night everyone!

nice day

Today was a pretty nice day. Played outside a lot and onlu had to have one bath! That was a good thing! My beagle sister Lucy played with me a lot, and so did my Great dane sister Natasha! It was lots of fun!

Terry left pretty early with Remington and Gladys. They are staying with Aunt Rae so they can be at the dr. early in the morning. They are both getting snipped. I guess that means they won't be able to have babies puppies. Mommy said that's a good thing because there are already too many puppies out there that need homes, along with older doggies that need homes. They'll be home tomorrow night, though. I can't wait to see them because I miss them! but Ursula and Lucy and Natasha and even boz has given me lots to play with!

Well, I'd better go. It's getting close to sleepy time and I don't want to miss that! Love you everyone! xoxo Sleep Well!

Oh, and before I forget, my surgery to amputate my let is coming soon...Sept. 15th! My Mommy made a chipin link so if anyone wants to donate anything for my surgery, this is a quick and easy way! We need to get $600 by the 15th and can really use some help with it! Any little donation will be SO appreciated! And you can donate right here using the ChipIn that works with paypal! Thanks Everyone!

Whew!

Wow, I am SO tired! I played really big outside for a long time! It's good I played so long because the sandy mud dried and fell off of me and I don't have to take another bath today! I had to take one this morning because I got so muddy! I sat very good in the sink this time though! I don't really like it, but I'm getting used to it!

When I was outside, I got to play with my beagle sister Lucy! She never really played with me before, just a little bit. We played king of the hill! I like that game! There is a dirt pile outside that I love to play on and dig in! Even with just one front leg I'm a pretty good digger! I played with Ursula and Remington, too! And Terry threw a ball for me so I could run and get it and that was a fun game! I'm learning lots of fun games to play! Terry wants Mommy to get this thing they saw today called an agility course. I think it would be fun! Mommy doesn't know if she has the patience!

Tomorrow Terry is taking my new brother Remington and my foster sister Gladys to the city to stay the night with Aunt Rae. I guess they are going to go to a new doctor down there to "get snipped" whatever that means. Mommy said I'll learn about that soon enough.

Wow, only 8 more days till my big surgery to have my boo-boo leg amputated! Mommy said she's sad about it, but it's the best thing to do. She said I'll be just fine! But Mommy loves me so much that she worries that I'll miss her when I'm at Dr. Mark's and that I'm not going to be feeling to good for a little while. Mommy takes such good care of me, though, that I know it'll all be ok!

Well, I'd better get going! I'm so tired. Daddy is watching something Mommy says is "a stupid show" so she's going to read and I can cuddle with her while she does that! Good Night Everyone!

:(

I had to have another bath today. I don't like having to take a bath. I don't know why I can't roll in the sandy mud puddle and have fun without having to take a bath. Taking a bath is not fun. I even made sure I rolled around really good to get the sandy mud puddle ALL over me and Mommy washed it all off. Huh...

What was fun today was I got to meet my Aunt Julie and Uncle Andre! They just moved back to Michigan from Texas! Well, Aunt Julie used to live in Michigan before, anyway. It's chilly here for them, but they like it! Aunt Julie said I'm so cute she wants to steal me! She said that about my big doggie sister Ursula when she was a puppy, too! I love it when people come to visit me!

I got a new collar, too! Mommy took off my old collar when she gave me the yucky bath and gave me the new collar after. She said it was because my old collar was for a baby and I'm getting so big that I need a big boy collar! It's red with glow in the dark doggie prints on it! Just like my old collar, but bigger!

Well, I'm going to go now because I had a big day and I'm getting sleepy and I want to cuddle on the couch with my Daddy! Tomorrow is his last day of his vacation and I want to spend all the time I can with him because I have the best Daddy ever! He doesn't give me a bath! Good night everyone!

BRRRR!

Today was a very cold day! Mommy said today was nothun! But it's the coldest day I remember! I went in the sand where there's water and I had to have a bath in the kitchen sink. I didn't like that at all. I don't understand why I have to have all these dumb baths! Mommy said if I stayed out of the mud, I wouldn't have to have them. But I like to play in the mud! It's fun!

Today my big people sister Brooke and my Daddy shot at targets in the backyard with the guns. I didn't care at all, but Mommy had to lay in the bedroom closet with my foster sister Gladys. Gladys was really really scared of the big booms and was shaking. Mommy said even though she's a black and tan coon hound, she's definitely a lover, not a hunter! Mommy said she hopes to find Gladys a really good home with people who will give her lots and lots of attention because she is so sweet and just wants to be loved! Mommy said she'll be really sad when Gladys gets a forever family because Mommy loves Gladys a lot but Mommy says that we can't keep everyone! But she said Gladys has a home here for as long as it takes to find her the perfect forever family! And they'll have to be perfect! Mommy said so! So, if you are reading this and know of anyone who sounds like a perfect family for my foster sister Gladys, tell them to let Waggs and Wishes know!

Gee, this is MY blog and I just spent most of my time writing about my foster sister! I love her, though, and hope she has a good life. Mommy spent time with me other than giving me that ucky bath. She toweled me off really good, then she had to towel my big sister Natasha off really good. Natasha wasn't wet, but she likes to get rubbed with the towel! Then I had all this big energy from getting the bath and I terrorized everyone for a while and my new brother Remington played with me tons! Then I had a nice cuddle time with my Mommy and I cuddled right up on her lap and made a little sleepy time and Mommy said I would sigh because I was so content. I know my Mommy has the most love of anyone and she says when there's more doggies, she just gets more love! Alex is here too, and he plays with me some. He's only three years old, so I guess he has a hard time understanding how puppies play. I'm just happy there is someone my size!

I'm learning some stuff and some stuff is kinda hard. I know "no" and "stop", and sometimes I know "sit". Mommy says that's not bad because I'm still a baby. She wants me to learn the one where I ask to go out to potty every time. Usually I am so busy that I don't know I have to make pee-pee until I have to do it NOW! Then Mommy runs with me dripping pee pee all over the house to get me outside and by then I'm all done, so I don't know what help that is. Maybe my Mommy is a crazy lady! She said Lucy and Ursula were house trained by the time they were my age, but they were always closer to the door in their old house! Mommy is thinking about tying bells by the door to teach us to ring them when we want out. We'll see how that works out!

Anyway, it's getting late and Mommy wants to get Alex ready for bed so we can have some quiet time! Believe me, with Alex around there isn't much quiet time! Mommy says thats the same with any three year old boy! So, I'm going to go now, and hopefully I'll get Mommy to post new pictures too. She has some on her phone, I don't know what's taking her so long! Anyway, have a good night everyone!

Great Day!

Had so much fun today! Played outside TONS because it's such a nice day out! Then Mommy and Daddy left for awhile and when they came home they had Alex with them! Now, let's see...my Mommy and Daddy are Alex's grandma and grandpa, my big people sister Amanda is Alex's Mommy, so I guess that makes me Alex's uncle! I won't make him call me Uncle Monk, though. That seems kinda silly! It's really cool having a people here that is my size! He's lots of fun to play with!

Today there was lots of water in the sand hole because it rained a lot yesterday. I got down in there to play in the water and it was fun but Daddy yelled and me and chased me out of there. I ran right to Mommy but she wasn't happy because I rubbed sandy gunk all over her! She dried, though.

Then, my big people brother Tyler came over with his friends! They came to go camping in the back field again! I'm always happy to see them. They like me a lot and pet me and play with me and tell me how cute I am! They see the other doggies too, but the other one they really like is Boz. They always have extra time for Boz!

Whew! I had such a big day, I'm really really sleepy! I already had lots of cuddle time on Mommy's lap before Tyler came...I thought my day was already done! I'm going to sleep good tonight! Good Nite Everyone!

rain rain go away

Not much of a day today. Mommy and Brooke were gone most of the day doing shopping stuff. They didn't get me anything. Daddy and Terry were home all day. We kinda laid around and napped a lot. It was raining most of the day so there wasn't much to do. When it finally stopped raining for a while we had to go outside because my big doggie brother Remington had so much energy he couldn't be in the house anymore without breaking everything in it!

That's my big news for today. My big people brother Terry adopted my foster brother Remington! So Remington is our forever family now! We were fostering him for the same rescue that Mommy adopted me from, Waggs and Wishes. www.waggsandwishes.org They are always looking for help if anyone is around the Ferndale, MI area and can help out with fostering or donating food or collars and leashes or blankets or time. They sometimes need help cleaning at the shelter or walking doggies or taking the blankets to the laundramat. Or, if you go to their website you can donate money to them with PayPal or see some of the doggies up for adoption! And on September 25th they are having a Bark-B-Que! All the info for that is on their webpage. It's going be lots of fun and they'll have food and lots of doggies and kitties that need good loving forever homes!

Not much else happened today. My foster sister Gladys had a sicky tummy today and kept making poo-poos all down the hallway. At least she was going into the bathroom, so she kinda had the right idea! She feels all better now! Daddy didn't know where the little green machine carpet cleaner thingie is, so now Mommy has to clean it up. Just like a Daddy...that's what Mommy said.

Well, I'm going to go now and help Mommy find all the spots that need to be cleaned in the carpet. That's because I'm such a good boy! Good Night Everyone!
