SUNday

Hi hi hi! Ojo here! Today is Sunday and Nature is making Sun and so I am lying in the grass. 

What are you doing today, friends?

(It's bright!)

How to make a Pee-and-Poop-Walk longer

Hi hi hi! Ojo here! 

If you saw my writings from yesterday, you will know that I am doing Pee-and-Poop-only-Walks right now. These Walks are Too Short.

I don't know about you friends, but when I have to poop I have to poop, and it just happens. 

However, I can hold my pee.

Here is my tip: If you want to make a Pee-and-Poop-Walk longer, just don't pee! Isn't that clever?

Since I'm so clever, my person and I have come to an agreement. We pick a Walk, like to the end of the cul de sac and back, or a small loop in the forest, and I get to do that Walk no matter when I pee. Even if I pee at the start, I still get do the whole Walk. 

This is acceptable. 

If YOU ever get stuck doing Pee-and-Poop-only-Walks, remember this tip, friends!

Good Leg, Bad Leg, Good Leg

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

Long Line is back.

Friends, the Leg formerly known as Bad Leg is also known as Left Leg. Left Leg has been doing well! However, Right Leg has been hurting. A few nights ago I was limping, and I slipped a few times, so my person took me to Vet. (I don't like going to Vet.)

First Vet tried to straighten Left Leg, which used to be Bad Leg, but now it's Good Leg because it went all the way straight! Vet said she was very impressed with how well Left Leg is doing! It is very strong and stable, and has good muscle mass!

Then Vet tried to straighten Right Leg. But this hurt and I wouldn't let her.

Vet thinks I may have done a small tear in the CCL on Right Leg. So now Right Leg is Bad Leg.

In order to make that one Good Leg too, I am only allowed on Pee-and-Poop-Walks for the next ten days. And I have to stay on leash. 

Most of my Pee-and-Poop-Walks are around our house and are on Short Leash, but once per day my person drives me somewhere different and I get to do my Pee-and-Poop-Walk in the forest with Long Line.

I don't want to have to do Surgery again friends, so even though I know I can go longer and faster, I have agreed to do Pee-and-Poop-Walks-only for the next little while. I hope this fixes Right Leg!

Heating Pad

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

This is a Heating Pad! It is sitting on top of Cobi's old blanket, and when I lie on it I feel warm! It's almost as good as lying in the sun!

My new Heating Pad has different heat settings, a chew-proof cord, and a washable cover! Although I hope it never gets washed, because clean things are yucky. 

Have you ever napped on such an amazing thing, friends?

Lake Morning

Hi hi hi! Ojo here! 

This morning was Lake Morning! I am moving more slowly. My person isn't understanding why, so we're doing shorter Walks. However, I still got to sniff and explore! The air was cool and full of smells! It was a good morning to be at the Lake.

What are you up to today, friends?

Fall pawtraits, summer weather, and a Walk!

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

Pepper joined us for our Walk today! Half way through, we stopped and posed so my person could do a Fall Pawtrait of us! (And yes, after we said "cheese" we then got cheese!)

My body feels tired and there is some pain in my knees. But I was still very happy to be out on this Walk today. My person stops and waits, and we take our time. (Unless I see a bunny, then I will zoom!)

Pepper zooms most of the time, unless he stops to sniff something with me.

Even though the trees are starting to drop their leaves, Nature is still making Hot! The sun is orange again because there is smoke high in the sky, but even my nose can't smell it down here in the forest.

I think Pepper looks very handsome in this picture, but don't tell him I said so.

My person says I am just as beautiful as I was when I was young. Or maybe even more beautiful. Is this true, friends?

Pepper stayed over!

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

Pepper came to stay with us for the weekend! I don't mind this. There are more treats when Pepper is here, and also he shared his bully sticks with me!

At first he was a bit anxious and had a hard time settling. (And he may have chewed a hole in my Bed, but that's okay, his person fixed it.) 

After a bit of time, and some Good Walks, he got much more comfortable.

It always takes him a bit of time to get comfortable when he comes to stay over. Maybe this means he needs to come to stay more often?

Now he has gone home again, and I am resting. It is a lot of work to take good care of a house guest!
