My 4th Year

Here I am at 4!

I'm Just too cute

I turned 4 in September 2011. Life here is good. We go for lots of walks now and I have been hanging out by the river and at the parks. I had an active summer and was shocked to find out that I had contracted Lyme disease in spite of mom always putting that Frontline stuff on me. Dr. Mello discovered this at my routine physical when I was tested for heartworm also. I had to go on doxycycline for a month and it was icky. It made me not want to eat and if I took it without eating it made me throw up. I made it through treatment though and all is well. I was lucky, they caught it before I had any symptoms.

I like going for walks. Santa brought me a great purple comfort harness, its so light and airy and helps the leash not pull on my neck. I love it!

Mom, since she doesn’t have the boys every weekend often takes me away with her. We spend time at her friends house. The first time I went with her, they went out to dinner. Mom trusted me to be a good girl and didn’t crate me. It was a strange place and I didn’t know when they were coming back and I freaked out. I ran and jumped up right through the screen of the window! I got out at the condo developement, it was a big scary area and found myself locked out after dark. When Mom came back 2 hours later she was shocked to see me running around near the woods. That was the most trouble I have ever caused in my life. Mom was glad I stayed away from the cars and stayed safe. We visit there often now and it is like my second home. I have adjusted to having neighbors so close and I know the rules of condo living now 🙂 I like to sit on the deck there and watch the birds, its a nice spot for my Tibetan meditation.
