My first best friend.....'Una'
This is me with my first best friend in the world...'Una'. She is a beautiful young Boxer and we fell in love the first time we set eyes on each other.
Running is my first love, but Una taught me how to play....Boxer style. I learned all sorts of new tricks, like body checking and feet whacking, and slobbering on the other guy! But she has to catch me first....and that doesn't happen until I decide to slow down and let her.
You can see my right leg in this picture is growing back its coat.This is months after my first surgery on my leg. It hurt once in a while and my knee looked pretty bad, but hey! I could run again and play with my friend. I thought I was going to be okay.
Shows you what I know.

A pal of my own.... Shadrach!
This goofy guy is now my very own play toy. He needed a home...my Mum found him in a 'We can't keep our dog anymore ad' and decided he should come to our house.
I think she felt sorry for me cuz of the broken leg and the jail time and the no running thing for months.
He lives here now... I think she bought him just to keep me company and for me to boss around.
He copies everything I do...if I growl...he growls. If I run...he runs....sort of....I am the KING of running....NO-ONE can keep up with me....and I mean NO-ONE!!
Shad and I play a lot! And on really good days, we get together with Una and burn up the place!!!!
When my knee blew apart 9 months after the first surgery and I had to have two more surgeries, this best pal had to leave our house and go to live with Una. This was a SAD time....my leg hurt, I could barely walk...ABSOLUTELY NO RUNNING....AND WORST OF ALL.....NO FRIENDS! It was months before I was well enough to bring my friend home.
And THAT was a happy day!!!

Pisser
This is my tiny wee friend named 'Pisser'. ..not because she pees...my Mum says it's because she's REALLY a wild feral thing that has decided to live with us....but she's a BAD act!!! She'll hang off your face if you get too rough with her.
She was a feral kitten that was dumped in our yard in the middle of a Canadian winter.(-30 C) It took a month to catch her in a trap, (she's REALLY smart!). Off to the vet, spayed and needled and all that jazz, and then it took four months of her hiding under the bed in the guest room before she would even come out to eat.
She has claws like needles and doesn't hesitate to use them, so I'm very careful to be nice to her. Even though she only weighs about five pounds, she is a tough wee nut. Thank heaven she loves me! She makes kitten hands in my fur....we're very good friends.
She only has half her ears...poor wee thing got frozen half to death before my Mum rescued her. That's probably why she didn't grow very much either. But she is a wonderful little friend.!
She talks a lot. Sometimes her mouth opens and you think she's squeaking at you, but no sounds come out. I don't speak 'cat' but it seems as though she's always telling a sad tale of woe. Give me a break!!! 3 squares a day, sleep where you want, lots of love and cuddles....I think she's just one of those types who has to complain about everything all the time. But now that she's decided this is a pretty good house, she's the most loyal friend anybody could have

I TOLD YA!!!!
YIKES!!!! This is my little friend when she's having one of her "I'm going to KILL you fits!".
When she first started living with us, this meant you needed to GET OUT OF DODGE.......FAST!!!
Nowadays, it just means she's being silly....
She's really VERY sweet. (Sure, and I've got a bridge I can sell you in Brooklyn, too)

Lump
Allow me to introduce you to 'Lump'.
Lump is another -30C below Canadian winter dump off. The difference is that this big guy weighs 25 lbs!!!! He is HUGE!
Why did someone dump him out in the middle of winter? Ah, he's just a cat...he can catch mice! (NOT!) Poor guy! After two weeks of staring at my Mum through the patio door, no lost posters, no missing cat report...off he went to the vet, got his pedigree shortened, and now he lives here.
He's a big love bug when he's in the mood. When he's not in the mood he yowls and grumps and goes outside and won't come back all day.
I gotta tell ya ...I have fun with this one. The big story here....he HATES dogs! And I know it....so guess who takes great delight in bugging a big fat cat....If Lump had his way, he would be the only cat on the planet.

LIFE
Gosh, some days are just plain WONDERFUL, aren't they?!? I live in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and on a sunny, crisp winter day, I don't think there's anything better than zooming around, peeing, and playing with my best friends in the snow.....Shadrach is kind of a slow poke wimpy guy, but my pal Una is so much fun, I can't tell ya!! She's not as fast as I am, but she has STAMINA like you wouldn't believe. She's like the Energizer bunny...she just won't quit!!!!!
And look out if one of us pees....starts a line-up.....I am ALWAYS the peeing winner....if I'm really 'on' that day, I might even get someone's head (like Una heeheeheeehee) Seems to get Una's person kind of angry.... but I run away so fast she can't do anything about it.....Tada!
LIfe is good.

LATER
Sad for me, huh? This is me after a great day...running. My leg hurts.Simple stuff.
Later later
But you can't keep a good dog down....just let me lay around on the couch for awhile....stretch out the soreness, relax, have a little sleep....eat some milk bones, chew on an organically raised cow bone, get a little love...well, maybe a lot of love...I can take it....
and I'm ready to rock and roll again!
