It’s been a few weeks and I think I am doing very well. I still have my moments of exhaustion and being peaked but, all in all, I am perky and playful. One thing that has come back strong is my appetite...man can I eat!! After all the food is gone, I stand there and lick my bowl clean which has often times inspired by dad to give me more food. Yum!! I’m not as energetic so I don’t chase the toy with Dazey but I will steal it from her and just sit down and hold on to it. Tee hee!! She gets so upset and looks to mom and dad for assistance but, since I’m “sick” and “possibly dying”, they do nothing but ooh and aah over me while scolding her. Yes folks, I am working this Golden retriever torture for all it’s worth. She may end up killing me herself if I continue to get all this preferential treatment. If I end up mysteriously dead one day, tell the cops that Dazey did it!
I hope I stay around a lot longer as my parents have bought a RV...I love RV’ing so much! Those things are so fun and we go up in the mountains and camp and hike and have a campfire. I curl up between the captain seats and sleep for the ride then I zoom around crazy sniffing every tree, rock and log. I pee on my perimeter then stake my place by the BBQ grill for possible food droppings. It brings out my ancestral tendencies except for the river. I hate the river.
I also hope to be around for the holidays as I get to see all my family and we play around with the wrapping paper plus there is always new toys under the tree for me. I like adding more stuffed animals to my collection.
My mom says 2015 has been a tough year so I’d like to be around in 2016 to see my mommy less stressed and, of course, when mommy is happy so is Dad. Definitely a year I’d like to be in audience for. Well, I’m just going to keep being optimistic and rest when I can. I know my parents and my vet will be taking great care of me and all my family and friends will be saying prayers and sending me well wishes. All that love has got to carry me through for a good long time, right?
Thanks for reading my story dear reader. I hope you are lucky enough to have an animal in your life that brings you joy and fun memories. I can speak for all of us when I say us animals love you and enjoy your company and its your time and care that is invaluable to us. And, when you have a bad day, we will cheer you up with kisses and pets and, when we are bad, please forgive us because we don’t always realize what we’re doing. Chewing your favorite shoe was our way of being close to you while you were gone. We miss your company!
I'll leave you now with my words of advice: play hard, love unconditionally and rest well. XXOO
