Woo hoo!!! Clyde the wonder dog had his 10 month ampuversary yesterday. He celebrated by rolling around on the front lawn and decorating himself with all of the little golden seed like things that fall from oak trees and are horrible to remove 
He's doing just great - we still play everyday for at least a few minutes in the front yard because that's his thing. Makes him so happy! And short walks down the block and back. He enjoys every day. I'm still giving him one Rimadyl a day - we started that routine about a month after surgery because he was a little sore from hopping and have just kept it up with the vet's blessing.
I have pictures of his decorations but my new phone won't talk to my new computer. Once I figure it out, I'll post some pictures. I know how lucky we are and I'm so grateful for every single extra day I get to spend with this special soul. Here's hoping he keeps on going!
WOO HOO INDEED!!! OMD! CLYDE IS CELEBRATING A TEN MONTH AMPUVERSARY! 🙂 🙂 🙂 This is such great news!! 🙂
It's just delightful hearing how much Clyde is enjoying just being Clyde! We can all learn so much from Clude about finding the bliss in the simple things of life!
In honor of Clyde's TEN MONTH AMPUVERSARY, we should all find an Oak tree to roll around under and decorate ourselves with their seed pods! Clyde is surely making every moment better than the one before....just by enjoying each moment as a new adventrue!
ICE CREAM AND CAKE FOR EVERYONE!! 🙂
Keep these great updates coming.......and we'll be waiting for that pictures! 🙂
