Big

What's going on with the Animal Doctor's pets lately?

Since Scarlet can not run nor walk, she gets her much needed workout chewing on this humongous pig's ear.

"It will take me a week to finish this ear!"

While on the other side of the kitchen, Moymoy is wrestling with Woody.

"He's got a big butt, I see."

It's really nice to see you guys posting again!
Those are really cute pictures and we agree...it's going to take ages for such a small doggie to chew on that ear.
Hope you are all well. You missed our 'Hamster dilemma' postings...we would have enjoyed to have your professional comments at the time, but we know that you guys are busy and doing an awesome job there!

Keep well and lots of licks

The Tale of My Wheelies

In January 2009, I was officially adoptedby my Animal Doctor and his wife, the Secretary.

My new Mom could not bear to see me struggle with my paralysis. In September, she hatched a crazy plan to get me a professionally made wheelchair. It seemed crazy then because she had no idea where or how to get me that wheelchair. With 6 rescue dogs in addition to the 9 she originally have, money was only good to spend on food and basic health necessities.

Mom applied for financial assistance to Labrador Life Line, an organization helping needy labradors in the US. LLL approved a 500US$ financial assistance to purchase my quadcart from Eddie's Wheels which could cost between 800-1200 US$. Mom had to raise the remaining funds to purchase the wheels and to pay for shipping.

Mom got cold feet because she's never raised funds before. But our friends were there to help us. Some gave up money for their toys and treats to chip in to my wheelchair fund; others sent encouragements so Mom would not give up. And there were some who unselfishly shared a spot in their blog to spread my story. I could not believe it, but we were able to raise the money needed to purchase and ship my wheelchair! And the extra good news is, Eddie's Wheels gave us a discount on account of my being a rescued dog.

On January 28, 2010, my wheelchair finally arrived in the Philippines. This is it, my dream finally happening. I owe it to all of you.

In Memory of A Special Dog

Goodbye, T-man,
You are gone, but not forgotten,
Run all you can in heaven.

We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way. We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the necessary plan.” —Irving Townsend from “The Once Again Prince”
