Happy Valentine’s Day!
It’s a special one around here because it’s my ampuversary! I had surgery one year ago to become a tri-pawsome tripawd! It was hard at first and I didn’t like my cone, but it didn’t take long for me to start feeling so much better without that painful injured leg hanging around.
Since then I’ve been thriving! I play often with my neighborhood friends, catch a ball like a star outfielder, and patrol my neighborhood rain or shine.
I love the cold weather, especially the snow. Mom throws shovelfuls in the air and I jump really high to snatch the flakes in my mouth. It’s my favorite game! Even in the bitter cold, Mom has a hard time convincing me to come inside.

When it’s super cold, she makes me wear a coat. I hate the coat. I’ll let her put it on me, but I pout and try to shake it off. I guess if it means I can go on our walks, I’ll have to put up with it.

I had a great Christmas with lots of treats and presents that I promptly destroyed. I’m still working on that. I just get so excited that I have to chew, chew, chew! I’m a good boy though – I never chew things that aren’t mine.

I’ll leave this blog on some great news. My sweet little friend Eddie finally found his furever home! I’m so happy for him! He has a sister and a big yard to play in, and he can finally walk on a leash without being afraid. I’m so happy I could help him on his journey. 🐾
