Hi Everypawdy! Guess what? I have a new little sister! And I’ll tell you, she’s pretty cute even if I’m not letting my mom know that I think that. She’s only somewhat annoying to me – like when she tries to play with the tags on my collar. She jumps up and tries to grab them – how annoying is that? But as the big sister I know I need to stay patient and teach her how to be a good dog, so I haven’t growled at her or swatted her or anything. My mom says I’m being so good and I’m getting lots of extra cheese for it! YAY – you all know how much I love cheese! My new sister’s name is Isabella Wolfjaws but they’re calling her Zuzu. As Opie would say – sheesh! What kind of a name is that? My other sisters really like to hike, and there are mountains my family climbed in the Adirondacks called Upper and Lower Wolfjaws – so they named her after that. I guess I’m pretty lucky to be called Holly Jolly By Golly, huh? I wonder why they didn’t name her after the mountain I climbed with them – Ampersand! That would be way cooler, don’t you think? Maybe someday they’ll take Zuzu and me to climb Wolfjaws, too – afterall Mackenzie has shown us all what an amazing hiker a tripawd can be! So here’s some pictures of Zuzu. My mom says it’s really hard to get pictures of the two of us together cuz either I move away too fast or Zuzu runs around too fast. But she’ll post some more once we settle down together.
I think everypawdy should get some treats to celebrate Zuzu coming to our family! Oh, and Zuzu is a mix of a Golden Retriever and a Poodle – so I know she’ll be pawsome since so many of my friends here are Goldens and of course there’s the ice cream loving Miss Cherry who was a poodle!
See what I mean – she’s trying to grab my tags in this picture!
As for me, I was supposed to get my 6th and final chemo yesterday. But the vet decided to wait until next week since my white blood counts were low. I could probably blame Zuzu but I didn’t meet her until Monday when they took my blood – so I don’t think even she could have made my blood look bad that quickly! Mom was so surprised since I did pawsome after my last chemo. Anyway, that all translates to even more treats for me since Mom feels bad about that. And the vet put me on antibiotics just in case – which my mom wraps in cheese so you can guess how I feel about that! This week has been pretty good to me so far…
Hugs,
Holly Jolly By Golly
