My Girl

I’m a lucky dog. I’ve always had a family. I’ve never been hungry. When I got hurt once mom took me to the vet and I got all patched up. And for the last year I’ve had my own girlfriend.…

July 12, 2009

It was a year ago. July 12, 2009. The saddest day of my life. The day Codie died. Codie was sixteen. Mom said it was a miracle that she lived so long because she got mast cell tumors when she…

Camera Shy

Brothers

You already know about my little brother Zag. He was born a year after me. In my litter there were a bunch of other pups. I was the only blue dog, and like I’ve said before, I was born with…
