6 Little Things That Make Me Happy

My friend Princess the Pit Bull tagged me to play this game. We have to talk about/show 6 little things that make us happy!

Thing #1: Sleeping in the bed with Mom (cuz I have to make sure she is ok at night)

Thing #2: Playing with pink squeaky toys

Thing #3: Being Mom's service dog and telling her when she has an attack

Thing #4: Playing with my sister Lola (she is a lot bigger now!)

Thing #5: Hanging out by the pool

Thing #6: Playing chase with the other dogs

Now I want to know what Bijou, Paxton, Buddy Dawg, and any one else who wants to play (I am a bit tired and Mom says she needs the computer back!).

Wordless Wednesday (almost late!)

Grandmom says I should post about my play time

Grandmom said I should post about what I do when I'm not working. I like to nap on Mom's bed, but I do other stuff too.

I love to run and the other dogs who live here love to chase me. Mom says it is a win-win situation

You can also see my Aunt Kay in the video. Would you believe she came over just to watch us play? Ok, well, she also had dinner with Mom and Grandmom but then she came to see me play.

I do other stuff for fun, but we will save that for another day!

A moment to remember

Mom and I want to take a moment to remember and honor all of those who lost their lives and all of the heroes who helped save lives 8 years ago today.

Grandmom traveled to New York a lot back then, and while she wasn't there that day, we had friends who were. One of our cousins was in the Pentagon and our family spent many anxious hours until we heard that she was safe.

We also want to honor the canine heroes who worked as hard as the human heroes to save as many people as possible

Mom says we are going to be going to somewhere called Florida

Mom told me this week that we are going to some place called the Mayo Clinic in Florida to see if they can figure out why she is sick. I get to go with Mom and Grandmom! Goo

d thing too, I don't know what Mom would do without me in a new place. She also said we were going to stop at her Grandmom Vogel's house in South Carolina. Vogel might even come with us to Florida.

This week I went to a lot of places with Mom. I always go to therapy with her and they say I am doing really well! Lots of people tell me what a good dog

I am.

I also got to go to Raleigh, where I am from, for Mom's pain doctor. She was very nice and everyone there said I was a Very Good Dog. After that, Gran

dda

d had to pick something up at a building and Mom and I stayed outside. She took some pictures of me that she says are very pretty.

After that, we went to one of Mom's favorite places to eat: Moe's. Mom is a vegetarian and she says they do the best tofu burrito anywhere! I don't know about that since she never gives me any (Mom says I have a sensitive tummy on top of my allergies). She does always make sure to get me a big cup of water with ice in it! I sit under the table and nap while everyone eats.

I also went to the dentist with my mom. We were sitting in this place humans call a waiting room (what kind of silly thing is that? a whole room to teach them to wait?!?) a man was asking questions about me. Then 3 of my favorite kind of human (besides Mom), kids, came in there! They wanted to pet me but Mom told them I couldn't play because I was working. They were very nice and Mom got to tell everyone that I was a rescue dog. The man was very surprised and Mom told him that you can get wonderful, smart dogs from shelters and rescues. Mom says she can't ever pay me back for what I do so she wants to pay it forward to other rescue dogs.

I also got to go out to dinner with Mom, Grandmom, Granddad, Aunt Kay and Laura! Aunt Kay was very proud of all of my progress since she hasn't seen me in a few weeks.
