Okay,
so last time I wrote I was a bit grumpy about the weather. I was cold and
not very happy about it. Well, a week has since past and I've had some
time to think this problem through. Realistically, I have very little sway
over where we live so I don't think I'll be able to convince the alpha dogs to
move further south. And I don't think this global warming thing is going
to be much help in abolishing winters as we know it. So, I've decided on a
course of action. I've decided to model my comfort on the "Patty Sue"
method. Basically, it means that I need to plump up to add a rather large
layer of insulation to my own body. I figure if I'm big enough that the
fur barely covers me, then I'll probably be warm too. Plus, it will mean
extra nummies. Win-win if you ask me.
So Francis Rocks and some of his buddies (and especially Pluto) came up with this really great idea for a DKC1 photo contest. He is one of those fancy show dogs and he thought it would be cool if all of us mutts could get a chance to compete for a best in show title. So he goes about setting it up which I'm sure is no small task. Then, clever boy that he is, goes about eliminating some of the obvious dogs that would have an unfair advantage due to their natural beauty and grace by asking them to be judges. So far we have forty-two entrants. I'm going to have a difficult job a head of me.
Finally, a quick update on my health before I sign off. All of my troubles are behind me now. (Good bum joke don't you think?) After consulting with Dr. Harris, she thinks that my improvement is enough to give the dactinomycin another shot. (HA!) I am bump free but I still have the lingering bum troubles, however they are improved since my last visit to Milford, OH. So the plan is to get another injection of dactionomycin next Wednesday, but thankfully at the Animal Care Clinic. You know, I used to hate that two mile journey, but there is nothing like frequent and regular visits to a veterinarian 108 miles away to really put things in perspective. I've got my dewclaws crossed that my bum will continue to improve with the next injection so that I'll be back to normal by Christmas. (Don't worry, I won't start singing about all I want for Christmas).
Have a great weekend and I'll bark at you soon.
