After your dog is injured, when should you expect your dog to start walking?  How far and how fast should he walk? How about swimming and dog hydrotherapy? What’s the best way to get your dog’s muscles back in shape and to get his stamina back?  If your dog is a runner, when and how [...]

this too was injured when I was hit by the car

This story is not for children. We’re all adults, right? I’m 10 years old in dog years but I’m 57 years old in human years so that qualifies me.
Some of you have been waiting to hear about my prostrate thing, waiting to read the answer to my parents’ question on their page, to neuter or [...]

is your dog friendly?

<– to part 1
“Is your dog friendly?” is what many dog owners who are out with their dog ask my parents when their dog sees me and wants to play with me.

My mom thinks that this is a funny question. I mean, I am Mr. Friendly!

At the 1000 dogs walk, somebody asked my mom again, [...]

1000 dogs

What a day.
I haven’t been this exhausted in a long time.  There must have been 1000 dogs in this place. Every where I looked a dog. Every where I turned a dog. Every where I smelled a dog!  There were more dogs than trees!

an early morning run, part 1

Life can change quickly and cataclysmically – for worse. And life can change quickly again – for better. Sometimes healing occurs slowly and from day to day you cannot see a change or an improvement. And there are some days that are splendidly and noticeably different!
This morning did not start out like a typical morning. [...]

my double-layered coat of the finest dog hairs around

All dogs are shaved before surgery or for other procedures, such as the Fetanyl patch. But the dog’s hair doesn’t always grow back in. Why is that?   *******

It’s now been five months since I was hit by the car!   And it’s been four months since Dr. Matt operated to repair my broken ankle.
I’m a [...]

getting creative about an energetic dog (like me)

It’s not always so easy to find places to exercise and socialize your dog. Many lakes do not allow dogs to swim off-leash, such as the lake in our town. Many dog parks have restrictions, such as not permitting uncastrated male dogs (such as the situation in our town), and other dog parks [...]
