UPDATE Day 42 Patrick Henry July 22nd, 2012

Hey Everyone....  I can't believe it's been 2 weeks since I was able to get on and update you guys.  It's been kinda busy around here and Mom hasn't let me get to the computer much.  She has been busy with my Grandma and her heart doctor appointments and stuff.  Grandma and Grandpa live a ways away so they have stayed with us quite a bit...  so it's been super busy here.  My uncles dog has been staying with my Mom and my Gma and Gpa have 3 dogs so it has been to crowded for me to get on the computer... if Mom let's me on here she says she has to let them all on and that's far to much internet time hehehe...  We have had 10 dogs here, not to mention my 2 cat siblings...  Our good friend Nikki.. she came to Mom's rescue and she took my brothers Roger and Doug to go stay with her for a little while.  I guess they go visit there ever so often... Nikki likes to foster and doesn't have any right now so she gets her "fix" by borrowing one or two of Mom's dogs... 

Oh... Grandma has to go to the hospital and get something called a cardioversion on Tuesday morning so everyone say a little prayer and send positive thoughts...  I don't think I would want anyone to shock my heart, but Gma says she wouldn't want to have worms in hers either so I think we are even  hehehe

So I've been feeling really good since my heartworm treatment.  Mom says I hardly missed a beat.  I had to have 3 more days of dewormer too... yuck... I'll be glad when I don't have anymore worms in here... gross.  I still have that big ole lump in my throat.  Mom keeps feeling it and I know she worries about it.  I'm going on Thursday to get neutered and my doctors will check out my lump then.  I'm not sure I like this idea of this whole neuter thing but mom assures me that I will still be a stud muffin.  Speaking of stuff muffin... I have this girl (a sheltie) Maci who has a big ole crush on me.. she thinks I'm a pretty handsome dude.  Her and her brothers and sister send me cards and letters, it's really REALLY cool.  

So check me out... I'm almost 100% all healed up...

I just have one tiny spot left on my nose.. but it doesn't even have a scab anymore... it's just a little dark place.  Mom and the doctor say I'm not going to get hair back on most of my wounds but that's okay I guess... my Mom says they are my badges of honor and bravery... I think that sounds pretty cool.  A lot of the ladies think scars are sexy  *wink wink

Oh, guess what...  I learned to play fetch....  Mom doesn't let me get too crazy cause she says I'm not allowed to bounce and run yet but she tosses my rope toy from Aunt Judy and Uncle Gary into the kitchen and I trot in there to get it.  I even bring it back to her most of the time but sometimes I think it's funny when she has to chase me to get it back.  

I'm still practicing my Spanish every day and working on mastering more commands.  I'm really really good and sit and shake and I'm doing pretty good on down and off... Mom says off a lot cause I think she likes it when I try and get in her lap every time she sits down.  

I also wanted to tell you guys that I been helping a lot of other dogs and I even helped some cats too.  Mom said I got more money then I needed for my vet care so she said I can use her paypal and donate to help some other dogs who need help like I did.  It's been pretty cool to be able to help so many others.  

 So I love to help mom in the kitchen... I'm not sure mom is 100% convinced I am much help but I'm workin on it.  The other night she was cooking fried potatoes and she dropped a piece of raw potato.  I love me some raw potatoes.  Mom says I'm weird... what do you guys think?  do you like raw potatoes?  Mom also let me have some cantaloupe and even though she loves cantaloupe she still says I'm weird lol


Well I guess I should get off here, it's super hot here today over 103.  Supposed to be 109 a couple days this week, can you believe it?  I can't imagine what would have happened to me if I was still so sick and hurt and out in this heat.  Anyway, the central air is MY thing.. and it's a great time for a nap...  I will make sure to be better about updates... 


I can't wait to update you all Monday evening.. I get to go meet a trainer to be evaluated... Mom thinks I could be a service dog someday and wants to see what the professionals think.  I'll let you guys know how it went... and remember.. send positive thoughts and prayers for my Grandma for Tuesday.  Oh and holy cow don't forget to send good vibes my way for that who neuter thing on Thursday....  YIKES!!!!!


Much love and hugs,
Patrick Henry
