Tribute to Sonny

I feel very blue. My brother Sonny had to leave us today. Mom said he went where he would feel better and he would be with his mom Sweetie. I loved my brother Sonny. He was kind and never ever gave me a hard time. He actually taught me how to eat poop. OK so maybe that wasn't the best thing for him to teach me but we are DOGS.

I know he hadn't been feeling well lately and he didn't play much like he used to. I guess that's what happens when you get older and sick. I'm glad my other brothers are doing well. I know that they are getting older too. Moms been kind of out of it. I don't know if she knows but I know that when she was holding me earlier she had tears in her eyes. I think I made her feel better. She did say Thank you afterwards.

We will all miss you Sonny. You will always have a place in our hearts and in our minds. We love you. Your family.

Not doing to good

I know I don't seem to write too offen, I guess a dogs life is a dogs life. I have noticed lately that Sonny has been slowing down. He hasn't been playing much and he's been limping on his front leg. I don't know what that's about. I have been able to steal his cookies sometimes too. That isn't like him. I don't think he's been eating all that well either. I know moms pretty worried.

On the other hand we had a nice little party for Junior on Mon for his 15th birthday. We got to play tug together and I got to give him lots of kisses. Sometimes he doesn't like when I try to give him kisses but this time he sat for me to clean his face. I don't think he knows he's an old man. He likes to run around with me and Buddy.

Oh yeah and Buddy. I tell you he's such a great big brother. I just love it when we play ball. He can't see it as well as he use to so I am able to steal it from him a lot more lately. He then chases me until mom takes it back and throws it to him again. We have a lot of fun playing with the ball.

Mom got me a new stuffed toy last week too. I can proudly say that I have degutted it and pulled out both squeekys. I think I got the first one out the first day but it took me 5 days to get the second one out. I still am the champ at that. Mom of course doesn't see it quite that way.

Well that's what's happening for now. I am going to go take a nap. Have a good week.

Checking in

I don't know where the time goes but it goes. I guess I have been playing with all my chew toys so much that I don't know what time it is. I love to leave chew toy guts all over the floor and watch mom bend down to pick it up. And you know what's even more fun....getting that squeeky thing out of them. Mom gets real excited when I do that.

Now an update with Sonny. Mom was real worried a few weeks ago because he stopped eating. She tried everything even baby food but he wasn't eating. He was sleeping a lot too. I couldn't get him to play with me either. I know mom was really scared that he wasn't going to start eating either. For a few days all he ate was cookies.....lucky dog!! Finally he started to eat a little chicken breast and nutrical. I think he just likes the cookies. Now he's eating again. He's still on prednisone but that hadn't changed. He just wasn't eating and now he is again. He seems to have more energy, though he still sleeps a lot. As mom said we're just happy he's still with us.
I think he's doing ok now. But I know mom still worries about him.

So my brother Junior is going to have a birthday next month. He's going to be 15. I think that's like 105 in doggy years. He's been doing very well too. He's a blast to play with. He just doesnt' hear very well. Sometimes he gets left behind because he's asleep on the floor and we go into the other room. He doesn't know we left.

I guess that's all that's happening around here lately. I have to go back to my Kong toy and bother Buddy.
