@TheEddieShow I suspect that our Rosie was a runt also and probably because she had hip dysplasia from the get-go (we found out when she was about 9 months old). The breeder offered to take her back but we had already bonded with her. And I don't think we could've handled a fully healthy Belgian Malinois so it's worked well so far. Surgery is like $10k to correct her problem (oof). All that to say I'm glad you're here, @NorcalGma2, you remind me we're all working together to support eachother.
You see photos like this and never think that that’s just the way trams run through Lisbon 🤩

I promised my daughter that I would go with her to an appointment.Summer wasn't happy about being left behind.I told her that I would make it up to her.I will.#Summer #DogsOfMastodon
Summer isn't shy about making herself at home. My phone rang with my daughter asking for some immediate advice. I had been walking on my treadmill. Normally I wouldn't hop on the bed with my shoes on but I did so we could chat. Summer hops up and backs her butt up under my leg and falls asleep. Now I can't move or I will wake her up. My daughter just wanted me to to help her decide to replace her broken and unsafe furnace with a heat pump. Now we just need to figure out how to pay for it.Maybe a quick nap before our fancy lobster dinner that I still need to cook wouldn't be a bad thing. Maybe rest up before celebrating.#Summer
Not much time for tooting today. The sun is finally shining so rugs needed to be cleaned and hung outside. Air cleaners cleaned and piles of laundry to wash. Summer briefly talked me into tossing her stick. Today turned out to be a low blood pressure day for my husband so he wants to take things easy. It will be up to me to keep Summer moving.The sunshine cheers me.It's still freezing cold but no matter.Our confused blueberry is blooming. #Summer #DogsOfMastodon
Sometimes I think I should retire my account. Mostly because I don't have happy go lucky content much of the time. We don't want to be a downer.Don't get me wrong. We do have a good life. An abundance of love and one of the sweetest dogs in the universe.It's just that our activities don't vary extensively, we spend much of our time dealing with health challenges, and those obligations come before creative and more interesting pursuits. After tooting regularly for three years I might have shared everything at least once.Summer is our constant companion and though I got her out for a lengthy run on our property today it was too rainy for photos.While I'm writing Summer is teasing me with her pink bunny because she knows I can't resist and that I will take two minutes to play no matter what is on my plate. The upside is that we are hanging in there and we love you all. #Summer #DogsOfMastodon
