Month: February 2018

Before all the snow hit i was outside with both dogs. Our 3 year old American Bulldog/Boxer was on a tie out leash. Our 12 year old black Lab tripaw was loose. I was cleaning up the yard. It was a beautiful day. I was standing on the edge of our property and a deer walked out from the other side of the neighbor’s property. This is very unusual since we live right in town. The deer casually walked across the street. It then turned around and stared at both dogs. Both dogs were quietly watching the deer. All of a sudden the deer took off running and there goes my tripaw in hot pursuit. She was across the street and almost in the neighbor’s backyard before i got her to stop.
I just wish i would have filmed it.

 Bessie enjoys eating snow. She loves rolling in snow. She makes doggie snow angels everywhere we go. Three legs has not slowed her down at all. She loves life. Every day she shows us what true joy looks like.

Today is Bessies 2 year ampuversary. She was cleared yesterday by her oncologist. It is a great day. Two years cancer free.

We often run into people that say “Oh poor thing”. Let me tell everyone Bessie is 12+ years old. I just had her outside. She is jumping through the snow banks and rolling in the snow. She did not have a leash on. She decided to take herself for a walk. I ran after her which made her run. I finally got caught up to her 5 houses away. I got her turned around and told her to go home. She listened. I just want everybody to know she is a tripaw and she is doing great!

Bessie loves life. She loves swimming. Yes she can swim. She retrieves 2 tennis balls at a time. She actually sprained her tail from swimming to much.
