My Visit to Watson’s Pet Products

Arnie demostrates the Bottom's Up LeashI don’t care much for big cities. But I was certainly glad to meet Arnie Costell – owner of Watson’s Pet Products – when we were in Los Angeles. Arnie loved his senior dog Watson so much, he developed the Bottom’s Up Leash to help him walk.

Watson was nearly 18 years old at the time and had developed a condition that seriously affected his mobility. The Bottom’s Up Leash enabled Arnie to walk Watson with ease for both of them.

I figured this could come in quite handy for rear leg amputees like my friend Sami. So we met with Arnie to learn about the leash, then hooked up with Sami to give it a try.

Dog Dreams and the Big Bad Wolf

My girlfriend in Israel sent me a St. Patrick’s Day greeting. She is so sweet.

Jerry and Lalla on Dream Beach

It featured us on a beautiful, dreamy beach. As in her dreams. Like I said. Isn’t she sweet? And cute too. But she’s a bit far away, unfortunately. And I must have been in everyone’s dreams lately.

I’m always chasing rabbits while I sleep with one eye open. But Jim barely slept the night before we left Los Angeles. I entered his dream to help him out. But here’s how he tells it …

Big Bad Wolf, Not!

We were all walking through the woods. Everything was kinda animated. And a big bad wolf started stalking us and giving us a hard time. He was dirty and nasty, baring teeth, slobbering, the whole thing. As he followed us, he got closer and more threatening. More scary.

Jerry just lunged and took off after the beast. He barked and ran it off like the little collie inside him as if the wolf was a sheep. It persisted but Jerry wouldn’t let up.

The evil creature never came close again, as our tripawd hero took big sweeping runs around us with his own teeth snapping.

Let him think that the dream is a positive sign. That I will fight to the death to be happy together with my people. Why not, that’s why I couldn’t let my human’s silly subconscious get the best of him. After all, I know they would do the same for me. Rabbits, rabid wolves, whatever. As long as I get to run in my dreams.

My Dog Date With Sami

Three Legged Dogs jerry and SamiAnyone who thinks older dogs can’t handle amputation has never met Sami the Bone Cancer Hero!

This senior dog know how to party. Losing a leg hasn’t slowed her down!

I recently got together with this pretty lady for a walk in the park and we had a blast. Being a Los Angeles city park we didn’t get to run off leash. But we sure wanted to…

Sami is nearly fourteen years old! And she just had her amputation a couple months ago. I think she’s doing great, and will only continue to get stronger.

Time for a Reality Check

Dr. Mazzi listens to Jerry's lungsI went to the County Line Animal Hospital in La Habra today for a refill on my heartworm medicine since we’ll be on the road and off the beaten path for at least the next six months. While we were there, the nice vet convinced my people to get some x-rays of my chest.

Jim and René have always said they would rather not know if my osteosarcoma had returned or metastasized in my lungs. They believed I would let them know if the cancer came back if and when the time came. But the doctor recommended x-rays because he believes “it is better to know than to not know” … so, they agreed and I went through with it for them.
