Today is my one month ampuversary and I am having a really good day….

First, I got to have a poached egg on dog food… I would have preferred toast & sausage – but my mom said it would make me fat.

Then I got a BATH!!!! It was my first one since my surgery and dang, it sure felt good…..I used to have baths outside with the water hose but now that I only have 3 legs – I got to have it in the house with warm water…..My mom sang me this really corney song "rub a dub – you smell like a queen" and then she dried my coat with a hair dryer……

After that, we got to go for a walk down the hill – I had so much fun but when we had to come back up the hill – I got kinda tired, so I had to rest a minute…..I laid down in the mud and it felt really good on my nice clean tummy……Now my mom says I smell like fish.

 

Riley 1 month amp

 

Now I am going to take a nap – I've had a busy day so far and I gotta rest up for my ampuversary dessert later tonight….

Happy 1 month Riley! Boy if that first month seemed like forever getting there , join the crowd. I remember waiting for my 1 month and it was forever, but you wait every month after that just seems to go quicker and quicker! Hope you get an extra special dessert tonight!

What better way to celebrate your first post-op bath, than a good roll in the mud!? :-)

Congratulations Riley. You look great. Isabelle says there's nothing wrong with smelling like fish…or dead pigeons…or duck poop…it's really quite appealing… especially after a bath! What better way to celebrate this milestone!

Enjoy!

Awww!  There's a big smile!  You bring us lots of smiles, too!  

Smiley Riley, a 1 month celebration is terrific!  Good job!  We are going to have lots of monkeydog treats to celebrate but I won't tell the monkeyboys why!  They'll make a snide comment about you smelling like fish! 

Keep it up!

Congratulations dear Riley! My pack wishes you many, many more of these! Mud baths after soapy baths are a tradition in my family, too. Your mom paid you a really pawsome compliment, too, telling you that you smell like a fish! Do you smell like an old, dead fish? Your mom really loves you to say that!

Love, D.

Wanna know what Tripawds smell like?  ………………………………………………….Riley, better known as Smelly Fish Riley!

 

Bwahahahahaahaaa pooey, you stink hahahahahaha! 

 

(Can't hide anything from mom!!)

 

Okay fine.  Thanks for the extra treats Smelly Riley. 

 

There.  I was nice.

The monkeydogs have invaded in the TriPawd State thanks to my Angel sister Comet, the deformed three legged Tripawd!  I'm the King of all Monkeydogs! You too can join the Monkeydog Federation is you have 4 legs! (NOT 3!!!) Our job is to get attention since stooopid tripawds get too much attention! 2011 was the Year of the Bunny!  2012 is the Year of the Pirate!

Congrats Riley, one month is a big deal here, and treats are well deserved for what the last 4 weeks have done to moms stress level. Oh, by the way, that fish smell is probably one of those stinkin' monkeydogs, you might start  having problems with them now, but don't worry, the A.M.B.F. will be right by your side, noseplugs included, Paws up, Spirit Gus and Dan
