Today marks Dakota's 2 months as a tripawd. He's doing better after the rest and Tramadol recently prescribed for a sore, swollen knee. He's begun playing with Evelyn and going to town on a couple of bones. The weather is kind of pretending it might be spring soon, and in those magic moments he goes outside and sniffs around and explores. The other day I caught him eating some unidentified substance in the weeds by the driveway. I have no idea what it was, but it stayed down. So my point is this: I think we may have arrived at our new normal, and right now I'd really be happy with boring, typical normal.

From abandoned puppy to Tripawd Warrior Dude, Dakota became one of the 2011 February Furballs due to STS. Our incredibly sweet friend lived with grace and dignity till he impulsively raced over the Bridge on 12-15-12.
Dakota's thoughtful and erudite blog is at http://shari.tr.....pawds.com/
Hip Hop Hooray for Dakota! Keep up the good work big fella. 🙂

I thought there might be a lil something on here about our friend Dakota today!
Wishing him many more ammpuversaries!
Ear scratches to him!
Glad he is up and at em!
Happy Ampuversary Dakota...hope you ate something really tasty in the weeds (it's best to keep it's identity to yourself...You know how they are...spoiling our fun!).

Happy Ampuversary, Dakota! Cannot believe your mom told on you for eating who knows what in the weeds! You must hide better. 😉
Trouble always like to lick the bird poop off the driveway. You guys are kinda weird!

Yea Dakota Dawg- Happy ampuversary!!!
Lets hear it for plain, boring NORMAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And if you are going to keep eating your secret snacks it is best to keep them down, otherwise mom will try to keep you from finding them.

Hoppy Ampuversary Dakota! Glad you're getting back to your old self.
I agree with Isabelle, never let her know what tasty treat you have found to eat. My Mom always tries to reach in my mouth and pull it out before I can swallow, so I have to chew, chew, chew real fast, or else swallow it whole if I want to keep it!
Eat lots of goodies to celebrate. I'm gonna have a treat in your honor tonight.

the monkeydogs only THINK they have invaded the tripawd state
Once again...don't care.
But I got a treat out of the deal, so feel free to post your "hoppy" (it's really "happy") stories. My mom likes passing out treats when she hears good news.
OH and EVELYN Monkeymouth - hang tough girl! I know you are getting short changed on attention. DooDawg didn't share his found "hidden in the grass" treat, did he?
Just like I told Maddie....Monkeybutt's in everybody's business & nothing to say!!!!! HOPPPY HOPPPPY AMPUVERSARY DAKOTA!!!
