Met some new friends at Meadow Glen

I just love visiting my friends at Meadow Glen.  They tell me how cute I am.  They rub my belly (Oh so good!).  Just just love meeting new people.  Don't tell anyone, but Mom made me wear this silly collar.
It was read and green with bells on it.  Can you believe it?  Bells on it!!!
Now I hear that she has something called costumes on order.  I don't know what them means, but it doesn't
sound dignified to me.   Oh, and yesterday, I had to go to time out.  All I did was tear up a napkin.  What's the big deal!  It was paper!
Any my little brother, Rocky, what a pest.  Everytime I try to get some affection from Mom or Dad, he gets in between us.  I wish someone would teach him some manners.
Talk to you soon.
Love and sloppy kisses,
CJ

I'm a hap hap happy dog!!!

Ok, so here's the story.  Mom said my breath was bad and took me to the vet (what does she know about dog breath).  She also told the vet that I wasn't jumping so good any more.  What Mom, I'm eight.  How high do you want me to jump.  Anyway, Dr Putt at New Kent Animal Hospital wanted to take a picture of my hips. Did I tell you she was pretty and I like giving her kisses and she doesn't mind?  Well, Dr Putt told Mom that see saw something suspecious and wanted me to have something called an Ultra Sound.  I could tell that Mom was scared, but I didn't know why.  Yesterday was the big day and back to the vet we went.
It was the wierdest thing.  They layed me on my back on this table inside a cool soft cushion and the doctor put some gel on my belly and gave me the coolest belly rub I've ever had.  It felt so good that I purred.  Honest to god, I purred.  Everybody was rubbing my belly and Mom was telling me what a good boy I was.
Heck, this was easy!  So then the doctor told Mom that everything was normal and not to worry.  Would
you believe Mom started crying.  I was so embarrased.  She hugged me, the doctor, Kathy (the office manager), Dad and even Rocky.  She was hugging anybody who wasn't moving.  I was thinking, "Mom, would you just quit"!   And now here's the really good part.  Mom and Dad took Rocky and I to the dog park.  We played and ran with all the dogs there and I told them about my wierd Mom.  I'm glad that Mom is feeling better now.  She's smiling and everything.
Love and sloppy kisses,
CJ

Pedicure for Paws

Hello friends.  Rocky and I just want to let you know about something really special.  It's called Pedicure for Paws.  Here is how it works.  If you go on my Mom's website http://www.littleluxuriesofva.com/ and click on Pedicure for Paws, there is this really neat pedicure package for you.  Then if you buy it, 20% of the purchase price goes to help other animals find their forever home just like Rocky and me.  Won't you help?  There are an awful lot of animals out there that need your love.
Thanks,
CJ

Meet my little brother, Rocky.

Hi there friends.  I'm sorry it's been so long since I blogged, but I've been busy training my little brother Rocky.  He started out being a real pain in the butt, but I think I have him straightened ou now.  Mom asked my trainer, Valerie Paul with Impawsible Pups to give him a few tips and now he's a much better dog.  Would you believe that he "still" does not know how to play with toys!  What kind of a dog doesn't know how to fetch a ball!  It seems I've got a lot more work to do.  Well, he's cute and all that but I'm still top dog around here.

Thank you New Kent Animal Hospital

Thank you New Kent Animal Hospital for making me better.  I know you tried to save my tail, but couldn't.
I think I like my new look.  This bob might be a new fashion statement.  You never know.  Thank you to Drs. Pinkleton, Engel and Putt for taking such good care of me.  Also thank you to all the vet techs who held me, loved me and made me comfortable.  Love and sloppy kisses, CJ

I'm sad today

Today we went to visit my friends and one man that I like a lot wasn't there.  His room was empty.
I looked and looked for him, but couldn't find him anywhere.  Mom said he probably moved to a better place.  I want to visit him, but Mom said we can't.  It makes me sad not to be able to visit him anymore.

I get my stitches out tomorrow.  Maybe I'll stop looking like a giant flower.

The other labs are making fun of me!

They took my bandage off yesterday, but they are making me wear this collar.  I had to slink out of the vet's office because the other dogs were making fun of me.  The doctor said my stitches come out on Thursday.
I hope they take this thing off soon.  Mom says I look like her little Morning Glory.  What's a Morning Glory?
