Make a Wish Monday ~ September 16, 2019

~ Tails Around the Ranch

Three years ago, a skinny, shut-down black Standard Poodle joined the pack and life hasn’t been the same ever since. Today is Elsa’s 3rd ‘Gotcha’ Day and I couldn’t be happier she found her way into my life. You can read more about her story here.

Elsa

Sure it’s true, I’ve suffered from her munching of multiple pairs of reading glasses, wool socks, and other assorted household items and I’ve learned to cope with the devastating diagnosis of idiopathic epilepsy, but this clever girl has truly blossomed into quite the Princess.

From a shut-down, puppy mill survivor to the spunky, hilarious Ninja of today, Elsa learned to wag her tail when she experienced joy and came to love playing with toys. She’s definitely come a long way from that fateful autumn day three years ago. The birthday girl must have realized today is a special day since she let me sleep in to 4:45 a.m. this morning (from her normal “GOOD MORNING!”  bark requesting the desire to come up on the bed rather than the usual 4:35). With this girl, I’ll happily accept those extra ten minutes and continue to enjoy those daily early morning snores snuggles.

Happy Gotcha Day, sweet Elsa. Keep making everyone around you smile and continue to thrive while bringing smiles to those who love you. Even your Knuckleheaded brother sends happy greetings.

One of the most inspiring footnotes to Elsa’s story is the fact that she has (knock on wood) remained seizure-free since last November. She continues learning how to be a ‘normal’ dog  and how to enjoy life. There’s still seems to be more room for her to grow and learn so I look forward to more continued progress, both physically and emotionally. High five, Ninja.

Live, love, bark! 🐾

      Six months is nothing to sneeze at-good for you! Sadly, the day after the post, Elsa had a small seizure so our clock had to be reset. 😕 Must have jinxed it by bragging on her. Doggone it. Stay strong, Mitzie.

The one time I read a piece to a person their only comment was, “it doesn’t rhyme.” I will continue to write and hopefully my blog, Fiction Favorites at www.johnwhowell.com will provide some entertainment and an interesting thought or two.

      It does seem hard to wrap my head around the 3 year anniversary, too. She’s been such a remarkable and smile-inducing addition.

      Thank you! I couldn’t be happier with the addition of the Ninja (well, I could if there hadn’t been 4 pairs of glasses etc. chewed up along the way but they have been a minor hiccup on this adventure). 💖

      Thanks; she’s got her paws crossed. For both the extra attention as well as the seizure free status.

      She really has come a very long way and suspect there’s still much more fun and good times to come.

      Thanks da Phenny. We’re all pretty thrilled with our good fortune with fur-iendships in Blogville. Happy birthday from a couple of Virgos to your mum.
