He looks like he is “in the bush”.

David Masse: I never thought about what was going through his head. I guess I don’t like to think about him in any kind of emotional turmoil. The vets and their staff are great though. I knew he was in kind hands.

Junior will have his annual test in a couple weeks and we give him medication through the year but it’s always a risk.

Dogs are a wonderful creature. I’m glad we have the chance to share the road with them…

Dogs are amazing. I think they make us more human. I also think that in some ways we’d be better off if we were more dog- like. I like the repetition of “waiting for Junior”. I’ll bet Junior had “Where’s Steve?” running through his doggy brain on repeat.

One stray we adopted had to go thru heartworm treatment. It was a tough rode but the two of us got through it.

I’m glad Junior is doing well. Y’all enjoy each other.

-Peace

Kim and I are blessed with Junior (though at times he can push for his own way — read that more treats).

No sidecar!

Bryce is starting rumors. Don’t go down the sidecar road for Junior. Junior believes in riding and he says sidecars ain’t riding…..*grin*

Another dog he plays with, Gus, just told us his master ordered a sidecar for their Goldwing. Come spring Gus is taking to the road. I’ll have to watch how that unfolds.

A sidecar for Junior — a nice idea but I’m not sure if his temperament is well suited to that riding life. His interests run more towards the dog world, leaping and running and chasing small moving targets.

I bet he would love the chance at herding sheep but I fear he’d find riding a bore.

Being a pet owner (actually my dog owns me) is an amazing thing, they love us unconditionally. It’s at moments like this that you realize just how much a part of your life they are. I’m with Bryce I think Junior needs a sidecar & to be you co-pilot.
