Bark for Life Walk 8/8/10 Photos

We had a wonderful time walking on Sunday.  I got to go for a swim but mom wouldn't let me go out very far.  She bought me a life jacket today and said I can do some real swimming this weekend.  I was glad to get in the water because it was sooooo hot. 

Here's some photos of us before and after the walk. (I even have one of dad.)

After

Mom thought it was hot too so she wore a funny hat.

Dad, Nana and Dodger

Dodger was excited to start but she's an old lady and got tired quick

I was exhausted, so mom put the seat down so I could relax

They made this for me.

Bark for Life Walk 8/8/10

 Mom and I will be walking to raise money for cancer. Let me know if you want to donate and I will send you my paypal info.

Mom and I have already raised $60, that's $30 each.  If you want to join us the walk is at the Kim Williams Trail in Missoula, MT from 1-4pm on Sunday.  Photos will follow!!!


Dear friends furry and not so much,



I am writing to tell you about a very cool event that my family just signed me up for called Bark For Life. It is a dog walk where for just $25; you and your person can join the fight against cancer — together!



This terrible disease takes our friends, both four-legged and two-legged, away from us far too soon. So, my human and I have decided to fight back.



On August 8, 2010, you will find us at McCormick Park and the Kim Williams Nature Trail walking with other dog lovers and the dogs who love them. I hope we will see you and your owner there too!



To register or for more information, please contact Sonya at 370-2459 or Emily at 532-8705.



While the American Cancer Society does not fund research to cancer that affects us four-legged folks, all the research they do will benefit us as well as our people!



I hope you will consider joining us for this fun event! See you on August 8th! Woof!



Sincerely,

J.R.

Happy Birthday

July 5th was my first birthday and even though I still was coughing a ton we had a birthday party.  I didn't get any cake which is kinda dumb since it was my party but I did get some presents and everyone wore funny hats.

I got some bones, some balls and a foot!!

Kennel cough day 3

In this post I would like to say a huge thanks to my doctor Dr Patti Provo at Four Paws Vet Clinic.  Not only have I stopped coughing and throwing up but I get the most delicious treats twice (one of them even three times) a day.  Mom gives me cheese twice a day now with something inside it, I am not sure what it is but it taste like plastic covered in cheese.  What could be better?!  The second stuff I got three times today and it is some sort of meat juice, mom said it will keep me from coughing but I would cough everyday, all day to get more of that stuff. 
I am still pretty tired I have been getting in couple extra naps here and there but tonight I found one of my balls and played with it forever.  Tomorrow I am hoping to feel good enough to go out and play in the yard.  If they just stop with the occasional loud bangs so a dog could get some rest. 

Anyway, I wanted to thank Dr Patti again and tell all my dog friends if you start coughing enough to make you gag go see her for treats!!!

Too Hot and feeling it

I am not feeling good today.  I am not sure if it is my new food, the heat or the asprin mom gave me this morning for my leg but I have been throwing up all day.  Dad said he's had enough poop and vomit from me and I have to go.  Mom didn't say anything and Skylar and Hunter look sad so I am not sure what is going on.  Mom mentioned that I need to go to the vet (which wasn't too bad last time I went) so maybe I will feel better tomorrow. 
I hope I feel better and it is just something I ate and not the heat.  I don't want to go back to the pound.  I would really miss my family.

I need to be washed

Yesterday I tried to get in the shower with mom but she wouldn't let me so I found another way to tell her I needed a bath.She took too long so I decided to take a nap.

A day at the Park!

Today I got to go to Fort Missoula with the family.  It was great there was a nice trail I got to run on and then they had this cool place where I got to play off my leash.  I meet some other nice dogs there, too.  Mom ran around in circles a couple of times while I hung out with Hunter, Skylar and Nana.  There was lots of people there who gave me tons of love. 

I haven't been feeling very well since Thursday so it was really nice to be outside running around.  I got to spend yesterday and today outside playing ball and chasing the kids.  This has been a great weekend and now if I could just yet my stomach to settle down.
