I am still here!

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

I am still here! I have been busy resting. And sometimes Walking. And sometimes eating. And sometimes hanging out with my Grandpawrents. And sometimes, just sometimes, a tiny bit of running.

My legs have been Good and Bad-ish and Good again. Some days I only get Little Walks, but other days I get Bigger Walks!

In other news, Nature has been making lots of Dark and Big Rain, but today Nature is making Sun and Big Wind.

In other news, my stocking is hung on the closet with care. In hopes that some treats will soon go in there! (This will be my twelfth Christmas with my person!)

In other news, I am tired a lot. 

But I still love going on Walks. And I still love sharing snacks with the people. And I still love doing training games. And I still love being silly sometimes. 

I also love people coming to visit! I also love chasing squirrels! I also love popcorn!

And then, when there aren't these things, or other good things (because there are lots of other good things too that I forgot to list!), I rest.

 How are you, friends?

Walks - Top of the World, and Pepper!

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

Today I had a success! I climbed to the Top of the World!

It has been a few months since I have been up here. And I haven't done blogging recently, either. I have been working on healing, and getting stronger again, and Walking longer again. 

I don't think I will ever Walk forever-and-ever like I used to, but this was a good week! I did more things! I even had a few little-happy-zooms!

And then today I climbed to the Top of the World!

(Okay, so this Top of the World is the place called Mill Hill, which is just a hill. But still, it was a good climb! And still, I could smell all over from up here!)

Also, Pepper has started coming with us on some Walks again! 

This has been a good week for me, friends! How was your week?

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?
