Tuesday SOLSC 4/30/13 - Max Speaks

Mom thought it was time for me to write a note to thank everyone who were concerned about me.  So I thought I share a little about how I've been feeling and everything that's been happening to me.

It all started about three weeks ago.  I didn't have any energy and I had a really hard time getting up off the floor.  My back legs didn't seem to want to work and they really hurt whenever I moved.  I just laid around and looked pitifully at Mom and Dad.  They talked and were really worried about what was going on with me.  They tried to coax me with all my favorite treats, but I really wasn't hungry.  I couldn't get up on the couch or the bed upstairs.  I couldn't go up and down the stairs.  It hurt.

As Mom told you a couple of weeks ago, we went to the vet, took x-rays, got medicine.  I still didn't know what was happening, I tried to walk, I tried to jump, I tried to eat, but nothing wanted to work right.

After a week on the meds, I was feeling better, taking short walks and I even ventured upstairs.  I hurt, but not as bad.  I still didn't try jumping, there wasn't any spring in my back legs.

Back to the vet last week and she said I was doing much better and to keep doing taking the meds.  I don't like taking those pills.  Of course, I was due all my shots, so I had to get them too.  And now that I'm feeling better, Mom and Dad think that I need a hair cut, so that I look really good when I go visit my special friends for the weekend.

So thanks for all your concerns.  I'm getting old, but I'll keep on trying to act young and entertain Mom & Dad.

    Max, I know getting old is no fun! My joints creak and groan all the time too. I'm glad you are feeling a little better.

    Max, thank you for letting us know that you are feeling better. Keep taking your medicine and accept any other treatments people offer. And for a change let Mom and Dad entertain you.

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014
