Going HOME – by Mick
Woof – Good Evening Pack and Friends.
This is my last blog with my Grandparents. Dad is supposed to get home and will be taking over my updates as I beat the challenges of being a tripawd.
This morning started off with Grandpaw. He was drinking coffee on the back porch and I joined him . . . then we saw a rabbit! I never took my eyes off it . . .then Grandpaw told me to get it! I got within 6 feet from across the yard before he darted away . . .next time, I’ll get him! Then Grandpaw needed to do some project in the garage and asked if I would like to observe. Sure . . . but, he left the car door open. You know there is something about an open car door that is very enticing. So, I just put myself in the back seat. I could see out. It was not hot. Grandpaw left the back hatch open and I could hear and see everything going on in the garage. So, I stayed. Then Grandpaw had an errand and insisted that I needed to get out of the car . . . but it sure was fun to be in there!
This afternoon I pretty much hung with Grandmaw. She was washing my blanket, towel, and t-shirts. I noticed that she was packing my bag with these things. Then it dawned on me, I was going home today. Dad was coming home! Woof Woof!
We practiced my walking and running so I could show him how much I have accomplished.
Then we got some very sad news. Another cousin of mine, Lynyrd, who is also a Boxer, died today due to hemangiosarcoma cancer. I thought Lynyrd was a neat dude. Very calm and made me feel very welcome and a part of his pack when I stayed with him for a week. I am going to miss him. woooooooo
Around 6PM, Grandpaw told me that we needed to go and get the mail. Guess who was outside —DAD!!! Woof Woof! I was sooooo happy to see him and mom. I couldn’t get enough of them …and they were sooooo happy to see me too! I got to show off my walking skills and new toy. They said that they had missed me and enjoyed my blogs. Woof!
This week went fast. I got to know my grandpawrents and great grandpawrents. (They are GREAT) I made a new friend and visited with family. We had a good time. I feel better and stronger, too.
As I finish my last dictation to Grandmaw, I want to thank all those that are helping my parents and me through my new adventure with three paws. Your advice and support mean a lot to us.
Till next time… Woof Woof – Mick
Woah! I’ll bet that rabbit won’t be coming around anytime soon. You nutty pooch you!
How totally sweet that you are back with your parents. I know the grands will miss all your antics and entertainment. They are going to tell all their friends about how their 3-legged grand dawg is so pawesome!
It’s so great to sleep in your own house isn’t it?
That is really sad about Lynyrd, I’m so sorry. I hate cancer. Grr. Now you have a guardian angel looking out for you from above. I know you’ll miss him though.
