1st, I'd like to say OH HOPPY DAY I finally laid on my left side!!!! I have been wanting to do that for DAYS!!!!
Never knew how much I would miss  flopping over on the other side until I couldn't do it!Â
So look out now, cuz there's nuthin I can't do!Â
Well, except for scratchin behind my left ear and left elbow! I sure miss doin that.
And speakin of scratchin, my left leg, uummmm, well where it used to be sure does itch!!!! I was a lickin it and havn the best time this mornin cuz it felt sooooooooo good, right up until Mom put this inflatable donut on my head!
SERIOUSLY!!!! what is she thinkin!??!??!
I'm not goin swimin and don't need sum inflatable floaty thing wrapped around my neck! Oh for the SHAME!!!!!!!
And she had the nerve to leave it on me today while she went to wurk!

Maddie Mae,
You are such a pretty girl no one will notice the neckace...lol... really! You look completely cosy on your vast soft bed.  Sammy loves to sleep on his amp side too, I think it makes him feel safe to hide it, and it is easier for him to get up with his remaining front leg on the "outside"..
Tell your mom she is doing a great job, she is protecting you from you 🙂

I couldn't begin to say how special Sammy is to us. Living and laughing with and loving this wonderful boy is priceless.

Life is good, so very, very good!!! Gayle enjoyed each and every moment of each and every wonderful day (naps included). She left this world December 12, 2011 – off on a new adventure.
Love Never Ends
You look beautiful in blue, Maggie Mae. Â Just tell everyone it is a necklace and stare them down!

mmmmmmm... donuts.
Now that necklace takes the focus away from the other end! Where is the sarong?
Karen and the pugapalooza
she likes to run around nekkid better! Can't keep clothes on her!!!
Actually couldn't keep the donut on her either. It was laying by the front door when I came home and she came bouncing to greet me, as if saying..."nana nana boo boo"
SO as a reward for her skillz of escape, I took her to Petsmart to pick out a treat. This girl knows where to find something to eat. She walks in the front door and straight to the register nudging people out of the way. She knows where she gets treats everytime she's in that store.
I told the folks  "Please excuse her, she's Rude for Food!"
She got plenty of oooooos and awwwwws while she was there. I think she may get spoiled to all the attention!!!

I think you look sensational! Maybe some added bling would make you like it better?Â
But after the fancy panties, I can see why you'd be reluctant on adding anything else to your attire! Â
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly  January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
I think it looks good. Much better than the cone of shame . More like the ring of notthatbadness.

Hey lots of people on airplanes are copying your neck collar idea! Just think, if you fall asleep sitting up you're head won't fall to the side and wake you. What a fab accessory!

Tai – 9 yr old lab. Diagnosed Osteosarcoma Dec 18/09. Front right leg amputated Dec 21/09. Started chemo Jan 7/10. Lung mets discovered Sept 16/10. Valiant to the end on Oct 26/10 when cancer reappeared in a leg and we made the decision to set her free. Forever in my heart where not even cancer can take her from me.
