I am soooo furrrry grateful to be writing my blog this month!!!
The month started out pretty much as normal, i was feeling really good and just being my hoppy self! Mum and Dad set up our Christmas tree! I Ruv my Christmasā with my furmily!!! Chessie loves our tree too!
Then i got my funky neck thing happening again… Mum figured it might be because of the cold weather, so i got put back on my Gabapentin and Meloxicam and the boring bedrest place! Just when I seemed to be getting better, I would yelp out in pain again so Mum would try adding a T3 at night and hope that i would get better!Ā But i wasnāt getting any better, in fact the day before my 17 Month Ampuversary, i didnāt want to move at all! I wasnāt interested in eating or drinking or even getting up to go out and pee! I couldnāt even get up and greet Mum at the door when she came home from work that day!!
They took me to see our new Dr Amber for an evaluation and she was so very kind and she gave me lots and lots of treats and kitty food as a distraction, while she poked and prodded! The only thing i got growly about was when she sprayed that cold alcohol stuff on my newly shaved leg! I mean who does that!!!Ā We ran my bloodwork and most of my numbers came back looking really good, but my creatinine is starting to crawl up. So the Meloxicam must be kept at a minimum, as that medication does mess with the Kidneys.Ā Dr Amber said that i was being very brave and strong ācause i didnāt let out one yelp!! She couldnāt find any sore spot on me!!! Iām too proud to show this stranger that I hurt!Ā I barely show Mum and Dad that I hurt, but Mum knows me better than that!
So right now I am buzzing happily along, I have been feeling pretty okay these past few days and Mum and Dad are super hopeful that I just out of alignment and may need to go to see Miss Leslie for my Ortho-Bionomy treatment.
I gave Mum and Dad a big scare and Mum thought that we were all going to have to say goodbye to each other!!!! She even gave me my Christmas Hedgie to me early!!!
But not me, I wasnāt ready to go!!! I was waiting for my Hedgie PupCake!
And boy oh boy did I enjoy gobbling that delicious treat down! I shared my cake with my Hedgieās but i told Teddy āNo Way! Youāre on a very strict diet Bro!!ā
I told Mum that I am feeling pretty darn good right now, (a little doped up maybe) but I will let her know if I am not comfortable. She knows the signs!Ā So now although I am slow and donāt venture too far, i still get to celebrate Christmas with my Furmily!
My TriPawds Calendar arrived and Mum sowed me my photo! I look pretty handsome donāt I! And i get to share the page with my friends Freakinā Handsome Frankie, Merry Nurse Myrtle and Spirit Happy Hannah!! Too cool!
Iām truly grateful to be able to wish all of my TriPawdian friends a Very Hoppy Christmas and wishing you all good health and happiness in the new year!

Mum wanted to share a Hedgie giggle…
And thanks again to Miss Holly for my virtual Hedgie celebrations!
I am Hopping Happily on my 16 Month Ampuversary and my Mum tells me Iām doing GREAT!! I know Iām doing GREAT, Iām feeling Fantastic!!
I have had such an exciting month, so let me tell you all about it…
I got to go on a road trip this month with my Mum and Dad and my Aunty Anne! I Ruv my road trips! I get soooo much attention from lots of different people, especially the kids… they always ask what happened to my leg and I am always Hoppy to tell them that i am a Cancer Survivor!!! The adults sometimes feel sorry for me, but then they see me Hoppily Hopping along, with a big grin on my face and they always change their attitude!
And i got that Raskety Rat š!! Mum, Dad and I went down to our woodpile one day and decided that we were going to evict that Rat from our woodpile… so while Mum and Dad moved all the logs, i stayed on the one side ācause i knew he was going to try and escape (only to come back later…) and when they got down to the last of the logs, the Rat tried making a run for it, but i was there to catch him and i got him you guys!!! I was as quick as lightning and that Rat didnāt have time to say Eeeek!!!Ā
Mum and Aunty Anne went on a road trip without me this month as well and at first i was upset that they didnāt take me, but me and Dad had a great day together. And then when Mum came home i smelt new Hedgies… Yup, you read it correctly, not just one Hedgie but a whole Herd of Hedgies!! She said that i wasnāt allowed to meet them all at once, ācause they are special and can only come out one at a time on special occasions. She said that she had to bring the whole Herd home ācause Nakusp doesnāt keep many Hedgies around and Mum doesnāt want me to miss out on meeting my new Hedgie friends at Christmas time!!
But i got to meet my November Hedgie! He has a really cute squeak and i can toss him around really good, me and Dad have fun with him! I Ruv my Hedgies!
And talk about having fun… My Mum dressed me up for Halloween again this year and i was the best bottle of Ketchup that anyone has ever seen! Mumās Great Niece said that she would love to gobble me up ācause she RuvsĀ Ketchup!!
Then Mum borrowed my costume for work and had tons of fun, but she said that I looked better as Ketchup than she did!!
Mum and Dad got to do a really cool thing for our Animal Protection Society (P.A.L.S.) this month. AllenSong put on a fundraising benefit for them and had lots of people come outĀ to hear them sing! EveryPawdy had a great time singing along and laughing and crying, it was a great show! They raised lots of money for the animals to ensure that they could all be healthy and strong for their new Furever homes!
My brothers and sister got a really cool treat as well this past month. They got a new Kitty Play Station! Chester McFluff and Tedwardo use it the most, but Miss Picky Lily doesnāt use it much ācause she has her favourite comfy chair that she likes to hang out on, although she had to try it just so she could say she did! Old Man Spikey doesnāt use it at all, his old bones wonāt let him jump that high anymore.
Then Mum surprised me with another Hedgie PupCake you guys! Oh my gongases it tastes so good! I canāt wait till next month to get another one!!!
āNum… Yum… Munch… Gobble…
āHedgie ate my PupCake!ā
Hereās a couple of videos for you all to enjoy, I know I did!
So thatās my exciting month in nut shell, i will be back next month to fill you in on more of my adventures!
Much Ruv from Super Duper Stu, Spitfire Spikey, ChesterField, Prissy Miss Lily and Pigger Ted.
š„°šššš¦šššš„°
p.s. because Mum actually got my blog finished on time this month (sheesh!) so I didnāt get to add my Virtual Hedgies from Purrrkins and Miss Holly… thanks very much you guys!!! I Ruv them! š„°š„°
I have been hopping happily along for 15 months now and I know Iām still doing great!!Ā
Life has been pretty quiet this last month. Things are cooling down around Caribou Point and we are getting ready for an early winter… The critters have all moved on and Dad has got our woodpile ready. We even had to light a fire last week ācause it got that cold!
Unfortunately we have a big Pack Rat š in our woodpile and I have been trying to catch him, but I canāt squeeze into the holes like he can! Mum and Dad have this big cage thing set out at night, but heās too smart and wonāt go in, they want him gone! I hop around the pile trying to bully him out,but he wonāt and so I keep waiting for him, Iāll get him if given the chance, Iām a good rat š catcher!!
Mum has been busy running back and forth to work, but she makes sure to give me and Spikey our treats and magic drops every day and I feel GREAT!
I also got to go on a road trip this past month… itās been a while ācause Mum hasnāt had much time off. I got to hop around town and have lots of people smile at me and tell me what a big happy pup I am! Sometimes they donāt even notice that I am only hopping on three and I tell them itās ācause Iām a Professional Hopper now!!
We Canadians celebrated our Thanksgiving on October 8th. I think itās funny that it is originally an Amurican tradition, but us Canadians liked the idea so much we had to have it before the Amuricans did!! SoĀ I want to wish all of you a Hoppy Canadian Thanksgiving! I got to celebrate with lots and lots of turkey š¦ and left overs are the best!
This is Chester and i waiting for our turkey leftovers…
And this is me eating my turkey leftovers…
For my 15 Month Ampuversary Mum got me a Bully Stick and a new squeaky toy. Itās not a Hedgie, thatās for sure and Iām not sure that itās a lamb either, but I Ruv his squeak!
Plus I got a Banana PupCupcake! It was soooo Yummy!!
As i sit here typing Stuās blog, i canāt help but be amazed at the fact that it has been 14 months and 6 days since I started out on this journey worrying if a major amputation for Stewie was even fair to him! It was all of YOU that helped Paul and I realize that 14 months was even Pawssible…!!! 14 months of support and friendship and the reminder to us all to Be More In the Moment!! None of us know how long we have, but we know that we are being gifted with our time with our boy, with all our wishes out to the Universe to give us many more years to come!Ā
And now because my days are shorter with my furkids, I need to Be More With them in our Moments together! It has been a major adjustment for us all, as we have all gotten used to the fact that Mum is back at work and Dad gets to look after the needs of the Furkids all day… š Ā
And i have to say that Dad has been doing an incredible job of tending to their needs and ensuring that i donāt have to worry about them at all!!Ā
The Catssss have totally got Dad figured out!!! Chester is more of a Pester, Miss Lily is far more Prissy and I swear Ted has gotten Pigger!!!Ā
Spikey is looking like a true Spitfire… he gets a brushing from Dad everyday and he Ruvs it!!! Our old man is definitely beginning to show is old age šĀ He is being managed for his pain in his old bones and is on a permanent antibiotic due to his bad teeth, but he still knows how to come up and pat Mum on the cheek for his midnight snacks!
Stewie Ruvs the fact that he and Dad are in charge and SāMother is not around to say āNoā to the extra treats and āwatching us with her eagle eyes…ā Ā Hehehe! I have to laugh because Stewie has got Dad wrapped around his massive paws š¾! He barks at Paul when he wants/demands his treats and also when he is late for his meals!!
But the best part of all of our day i think, is when i am coming down the driveway after work and thereās my boy Stewie hopping out to greet me! His tail is going like a helicopter and he has a grin from ear to fluffy ear! No matter what kind of day Iāve had, that grin ALWAYS makes me feel great!!
Now that i have rambled on, Stewie wants to say hello….
Hi Guys!Ā
I canāt believe Mum stole my seat at my blog page again!!! Jeez! You know if it were up to me to write this blog, I wouldnāt be late!!
Im feeling Pawsome you guys! I am getting tons of extra Ruvin these daze, especially when Mum comes home, i get Rots and Rots of Hugs and Smooches!!! She asks me how my day was and i tell her I Protected Dad and my Kittens super good and makinā sure those Bears and Deers donāt scare my furmily and … well letās just say nothinā comes near the house that i donāt tell Dad about!!
We had a visit from a few of Dadās mates this past month too… they showed up on the two wheeled contraptions. Ā They were amazed at how well I hopped around on 3!
Auntie Anne came down to visit us and I get so much ruvinā from her and she is super good at giving me treats!
My Mum went searching for another Hedgie for me, but they have all left for the summer I think!! Or maybe the very Smokey daze just drove them away for a little while? Iād like to think that they will be back for my 15 Month Ampuversary! In the meantime, she found me a tiny sleeping teddy, but Iām not allowed to call him āTeddyā cause she doesnāt want me to be confused about which one I should āgo get.ā So I just call him my Sleepy Squeaker! He is trying to hide under my paw ācause heās kinda shy…;)
But that brings me to my Biggest SurPrize… i got a Monster Hedgie for my 14th month Ampuversary!!! He hid himself in this big box and when Mum opened it a Monster Hedgie was sticking his nose out at me!!!
He honks and squeaks and he even rattles!!! He is one Cool Monster Hedgie! Many special thanks to my very special Fan Club!!Ā
I Ruv my Hedgies and all the squeaking I can make them do! I still Ruv to play hide and seek and Monster Hedgie is a lot easier to find!
I am going to have to build another house for all of my Hedgies, but my Monster Hedgie needs a king size bed for sure!!
So until next time my TriPawdian Mates, i am hopping to get my Pupperoni with my Magic drops! Iām such a lucky fella!
Smooches to each and every one of you! My Pawty continues…

It has been waaay too long since i pawād my own blog!! Mum did a great job with my video last month but she knows how much I Ruv to paw my own, so here i am celebrating my 13 Month Ampuversary!!! Yup, you heard right my friends, 1 Year and 1 Month and Iām still hopping pawesomely along!!!Ā
It has been an pawesome month too! I got to spend some Ruvinā Time with my Hooman Aunty and my Cousins! They came out to celebrate my 1st Year Ampuversary with me and they got to share my Hedgie cake! Well, i offered them some Hedgie cake, cut they said it was ALL FOR ME!! IT WAS THE MOST PAWESOMEāEST CAKE EVAH!!!
My friends at DogSense are the best!! They put a very special effort into getting my cake ready for me, Mum was super surprised and really appreciated the extra special effort they made for me! I RUVED my Hedgie cake!!
My Cousins and Aunty havenāt seen me since I first had my surgery last summer and they were amazed at how well I am hopping around! I told them that I have had this Tripawd Hoppiness going on furever! I canāt even remember how I ran on 4 now!
This is our ride on the ferry over to the Ostrich farm…
Ostrich birds get to be HUGE! My Mum said that i couldnāt come out to greet them as they might kick me, so i stayed in the shade under a tree and got to smell all of the wonderful Ostrich smells!
They had baby Ostrich birds that at just a few days old were as big as Miss Lily!
These big birds are only a few months old!
This is a full grown female…
Me and Chester do wonder how good an Ostrich egg would taste!! Very Yāeggy I think!! š¤¢
As always, many kisses to Mr Purrrkins for his virtual Hedgie celebrations for Stewieās 13 Month Ampuversary!š
I do Ruv this Ampuversary thing! Treats and more treats…. Such a lucky boy! I canāt wait for next years celebrations!!
Much Ruv to you all, see you next month…

I told Stewie that I wanted to write his blog this month ācause it is a really special one! If Stewie had been writing his blog though, it would have been out a week ago, but seen as how it is āMotherā writing it this month, i am a bit behind…
We are all celebrating Stewieās 1st year Ampuversary and we feel truly blessed!!!
It was one year ago that we were still adjusting our brains to the prospect of putting Stewie through a massive surgery and wondering if we were all up to the task!?! Well, Stewie showed us all just how ready we were!!! He proved to be a true Champion as all Tripawds are, he pulled us through his recovery with all of the ups and downs that can be expected and within weeks proved that a Tripawd can thrive on 3!!
For the past year, we have prayed for his monthly Ampuversary to come around… now we are at his 1st year Milestone, i am praying for his 2nd & 3rd & 4th… š I donāt want to sound greedy, but that is my wish!
Due to the fact that the Allen Clan has been in a bit of an uproar lately, we didnāt get to Pawty on Stewiesā actual day, but i am going to put all the pictures together in another blog so that you can see what an incredible month he has had so far… okay, so it may take a few daze!š
Oh you guys! Here I am celebrating my 11 Month Ampuversary and what a month it has been!!Ā
My mum and Dad went and performed at Christina Lake at the beginning of the month, so of course I got to stay with my favourite person, but I was kinda wurried fur them, ācause there was lots of flooding going on down there… but they were okay, ācause they climbed high onto this Railway Trestle, but then Mum had to save Dad from falling off!!!
āWatch out Dad, youāre afraid of heights!ā
My special spa daze have been cut back and I donāt mind ācuz Miss Leslie and Mum agreed that I didnāt need to come in as often. Only when I seem uncomfortable and that has been a non-issue this last month. I have been feeling like a Super Hoppy Stu Butt! Kind of like the Super Kitty Hero behind me!
We had a surprise visit from my Mumās Sister (my Aunty) and her daughter (my cousin) and her daughter (my 2nd cousin), so we had 3 generations of my Mumās furmily here, she was sooooooo hoppy!!! Especially cause my cousin had never been here before! My (2nd) cousin Rylee and I are the very best of friends!
And she let me join in her tea ā Pawty! I Ruv her!!!
And here a picture of my Fur Cousins, Senorita Charlie, Wonderful Winnie and Troublesome (but truly loveable!) Pup Miss Daisy…
My Mum & Dad met my new vet, Dr Amber this month! Sadly, ācause Spikey had a sore bottom, but with the initial introduction made with my Dr Laurie there, the second visit went really well! Mr Spikey really liked her! My Pawrents felt really good about her when they came home and told me what a nice lady she is and that she likes to give treats to win our hearts… I will reserve my judgment until I see what the quality of these said treats are!!!Ā In the meantime, Iāll just lay here in the shade…
And then guess what you guys…. we had a visit from our famous TriPawd Stars Wyatt Ray Dawg and Miss Rene and Mr Jim!!!!Ā ššš
They arrived at a really cool campsite in our area after a super long drive up from your United States Of Amurica! šŗšø!!
But first a Pawsitively cool (and extremely embarrassing!š¤) coincidence happened that day in town…Ā
The cool thing that happened was that when my Pawrents took me down to the Marina, where I like to take a drink, these nice people came up to say hello to me and Ruvved that I was a TriPawd Pup ācause they had a TriPawd Kitty in their car with them!!! He had his own stroller and everything!!! Of course my Mum & Dad wanted to go and say hello!!!
So I got to meet Othello the TriPawd, Very Cool Kitty!!!
Now the embarrassing thing that happened was Mum shared with these very nice people that the Tripawd Stars were visiting and that they were going to meet with them at Tukaluk Campground that afternoon. They asked me if I thought that our Tripawd Super Stars would mind them dropping by and I said āof course they wonāt mind..!!!ā Uuuuugh! You guys Wyatt Ray-Has-a-Lot-to-Say Dawg had a MAJOR problem with them dropping by!!! Mum is still apawlagizing, š¤ as she had no idea that they would bring Tripawd Kitty Othello out of the car to say hello too!!! Wyatt Dawg nearly pulled Mr Jim through the walls of his Mobile Dawg House!!!
Of course Miss Rene handled the situation purrrfectly and everything had been calmed down after Othello and his pawrents left.
Then me and my Pawrents arrived….Ā
Now even though Wyatt Ray-Has-a-Lot-to-Say Dawg was a little concerned that I was close to his Pawrents, I showed him I was okay with him by going on a hoppy hop with him! Every now and again Wyatt Dawg would tell me to stay away from his den, so I just went and did my own thing where he couldnāt see
Then the next day our Super TriPawd Stars came down to my house you guys! Yes they really did! They made a very special trip to come and see me and I couldnāt feel more honoured! Truly! We had a great time showing them around. My Mum got to sit with Wyatt Ray-Has-a-Lot-to-Say Dawg in the back of our UTV while they went on a tour and I heard Wyatt Dawg calling up a storm, so I had to hop on over to them and make sure they were okay! Phew thankfully my Dad had it all under control and everypawdy was having a great time! It was MY turn to have a ride in the back with my Mum! (As they took me back to the house to āRest!ā they say! Uuuugh! I felt fine!!!)Ā
Hereās some fun pictures of our Tripawd Super Star guests…
The very cool part about their trip to see us, is that Miss Rene asked Mum and Dad to make a song out of Mumās Tripawds poem, so Dad put her words all together in some music and came up with the TriPawds Theme Song!Ā
We will let Miss Rene, Mr Jim and Wyatt Ray-Has-a-Lot-to-Say Dawg show you that little treat… in the mean time they shared a āSneak āa Peakā Of their time with us!
And talking of Treats, boy oh boy did we get spoiled Rawtten!!! I got two more Amurican Hedgies from Wyatt Dawg you guys!Ā
That makes Three Amurican Hedgieās that I have now!!! Thanks Wyatt Ray of Sunshine for cool gifts! My Kittens got a fluffy mouse each! You can only see three in this picture cuz Tedwardo keeps tossing them under the stove! Thank you! All of you guys are amazing! š
And my Mum and Dad got a really cool and very special bottle of 3 Legged Red! An extra special thank you for this!! We are very much looking forward to sharing this… š
I got a new Hedgie fromMum and Dad for my Ampuversary gift! His name is Ranger Hedgie! I Ruv Ranger Hedgie!
I Ruv ALL my Hedgies
And you guys, i got my first Missy Hedgie!!!! Isnāt she gorgeous??? Mr Purrrkins sent me another e-Hedgie and I Ruv her!! Thank you Mr Purrkins, you are so good on your compotes!! š
and me as a new born… Iām the cutest one in the middle with the sweet brown face and the cute little ears!
Miss Rene thinks that I might have some Leonberger in me ācause my coat is so fluffy! I get to feel better about myself all the time!!Ā I was told I had Rotty, Bernese and Retriever… clearly there is something else judging by the look of my Litter Pup Brothers!
I invite you all to my next Pawty next month… itās gonna be a big one… Iām celebrating my 1 year Ampuversary!!! Yes! Thatās one year my friends! Come join the fun! That includes Mr Purrrrkins ācause he is celebrating his 2 year Ampuversary!!! So all you Catssss and Dawgs, come out with your Pawty Boots on, ācause itās gonna be fun!!!
ššššššš
Rots Of Ruv and see you all soon!!!

p.s. check out how much fun Wyatt had on the Tripawds Blog!
WhooHoo Tripawds Mates! I have just celebrated my 10 Month Ampuversary!!! šššI am feeling so good these days!Ā
And Iām looking good too, even if I do say so myself! My Mum lost my favourite brush and so she picked up a new one and it has made me look so much more freakinā handsome than before!!
So do you remember when the stores in town ran out of Hedgies and my Mum saw an Angel Hedgie and passed it by ācause she didnāt want to give me a Hedgie from Heaven,so she got me Winter a Hedgie instead ….!?! Ā Well,my Angel friend Manni was sending that Hedgie to me!!! Finally, Manni got his message through to Miss Holly and Mum picked up Angel Hedgie for me! I was really lucky that he was still there, Manni had hid him in the middle of the basket! Thanks Manni, I Ruv my Angel Hedgie!
And then for my 10 Month Ampuversary Prize š I got a Twisted Bully stick and a squeaky lion. You see, the store in town are out of Hedgies (again!!!) so itās a really good thing I got my Angel Hedgie! Thanks again Manni and to Miss Holly for remembering that Mum had put that Angel Hedgie back, even after I told her I wanted it!! This Sqeaky lion is really cool though, ācause I can ruff house with him and he is floppier than a Hedgie.Ā
I also received a super cool Cyber Hedgie from Mr Purrrrrkins. This Cyber Hedgie looks exactly like my Amurican Hedgie!!
I am still going for my Spa Ortho-Bionomy treatments. I was going every week, but Miss Leslie thinks that every couple of weeks should be good and then maybe once a month? She said itās not cause she doesnāt Ruv me… She said I can come in any time I feel like it, itās just I feel so freakin good!!
Oh my Tripawd friends, I Ruv the spring! Our Hummingbirds have arrived for the summer, Mum planted her flowers into her pots and I got to roll around in fresh cut grass! Aaaaaaaahhhh!! What a feelinā!Ā
Our fandangling, pesky, veggie eatinā Gophers are back, but Mum and Dad said that Iām not allowed to chase them! They said that I could hurt my self, but itās not me I want to hurt!!! I know thatās not a nice thought, but those things are PESKY! They eat all of Mum and Dads veggies! So I do a lot of hanging out on my deck with my brothers.
Me and Chester are always out there together and even Spikey joins us for a sun tanning session! Miss Lily doesnāt like it outdoors, she just stands at the door and tells us all how dangerous it is out here! I keep trying to tell her that nothinā will hurt her as long as Iām here to protect her, but nothing convinces her to come out, not even a harness. And speaking of harnesses, Teddy gets a new one soon, his modified dog harness proved to be too slippery!
Ā
Oh and before I forget… My Mum received a puppy picture of me from my āvery first homeā people! This was my very first day away from my Pack Mum, i was only 8 weeks old!!
My Paws were massive from the day I was born my Mum says, but I had to grow into my tongue!!
So hereās some more of my pictures celebrating my 10 Month Ampuversary…
Bully sticks & Hedgies…
My Angel Hedgie from Manni…
Truck rides and road trips…
Belly rubs…
Enjoying the spring freshness!
And one last video… this is me and Ted on our adventures!
Thatās all for now my friends! Until next month when I can fill you in on more of my adventures with my pawsome furmily!
Rots and Rots Of Ruvin from your Super Stu and best wishes from my Mums and Dad, Spitfire Spikey, Chester McFiend, Prissy Miss Lily and her Boy-friend Ā Talkative Teddy
Oh Hoppy Hopping my friends! Here we are at my Nine Month Ampuversary! Yup Nine Months and I am still Groooooving!!! It has been a month full of celebrations, so let me tell you all about them…
Mum and Dad went to a farewell party for Drās Bill and Laurie. The whole town came out to say goodbye and there were quite a few tears, from quite a few people, but Dr. Laurie wouldnāt allow that in front of her, so she made Mum do a funny dance together to make her laugh!
We will be eternally grateful for all that they did for me and my Furmily and they will never be forgotten!
Ā It was Easter too and you know what that means donāt you…. an extra Hedgie!!! Instead of a pink bunny, i got a pink Hedgie! They finally smartened up in town and started to think of my need for Hedgies!!
So the really exciting thing this month was getting to celebrate my kitty Spikeās 19th Birthday with him! We all had a piece of Tuna Pie! (Okay, it was just a chunk of tuna, but that doesnāt sound as good as Tuna Pie does it!?!) Mum and Dad are working on some new therapy for him too and he is doing super well!Ā
And then just a few days ago on my actual nine month Ampuversary, i received a new Hedgie in the mail… AN AMURICAN HEDGIE YOU GUYS!!! Yup, heās an Amurican, just like so many of my Tripawd friends! Amurican Hedgies noses are flatter than Canuck Hedgies! I even got a Ampuversary card!!! Iāve never had one of those before!!! Miss Holly, you da best!Ā Thank you!!
And my Kittyās got these really smelly nip Toys, which they all went super snakey over! Even Spikey did too! It felt like Christmas around here!! We all felt so very special! We Ruv you Mr Purrrrrkins and Sexy Saxton!! Thank you too!!
My Mum and Dad got some treasures of their own too and really enjoyed the chocolate! They wanted to make sure to say a million thank youās for their treats too! š
My Mum and Dad had a couple of concerts this past month, plus a couple of important road trips that they couldnāt make with me so i got to go and stay with my Aunty Anne and her glary cat! I swear that Boo Boo is constantly giving me the stink eye! But I Ruv staying with my Aunty ācause she spoils me rotten! And speaking of spoiled rotten, my Mum ordered a really sweet ring through Rene at her Etsy store. It says Furever My Heart and inside it has my name engraved!!! We really Ruv it! Thanks again Rene! Itās arrival was purrfect timing!!!
I was a little under the weather this month and not at all like my Hoppy self. I am feeling better, but i just donāt have my full pep back yet! I think it has been a long cold winter and we are all ready for some warm, sunny weather. Mum got me a Winter Hedgie that has a lovely warm jacket on him, so that i have a snuggle companion. I am still losing my undercoat and so i donāt stay outside for very long on these damp daze!
Mum is feeding me this Milky Thistle stuff! āCause when I went to see Miss Leslie for my Spa Day, she said that my liver could need some boosting, just like flowers do in the spring! So I am going every week to see Miss Leslie right now. I really Ruv her!
Iām going to leave you with a couple of my videos and wish you all the very best until next month! Thanks to everyone for your continued support!
I can not believe it is 8 months past my surgery day! Like Holy Hopping Doodle! Spring is almost on us and Iām feelinā Gooooood!!! The daze are getting longer and I am having so much fun in the sun and snow! It wonāt be long before all this snow is gone, so Iām enjoying it while I can!
We have had sooooo much to celebrate here in the Allen furmily! First off my pawrents picked the best day in February for me to have a Birthday. So not only was it Valentines Day, but it was my 8th birthday too! I got bully Sticks and biscuits, chicken pieces and a Buffalo meat burfday cake, with peanut butter and yogurt icing! Oh you guys it was belly filling scrumpulitious!!!
I didnāt get a new burfday Hedgie you guys!!! They didnāt have any in stock!!!! š³ š± I did get a new squeaky monkey and some sort of multi coloured cow that has no squeak, but boy is she good fun to play tug of war with!
āMe & my Monkey!ā
āDad & I playinā with multi coloured cows!ā
āMum & me playinā with my old Hedgie!ā
What was really cool was that it was Miss Lilyās 3rd birthday just a few daze after mine and she and I got our very first valentines/birthday card EVAH, from Mr Purrrrrrkins! Miss Lily has never been anypawdyās Valentine before so she felt pretty Loved too! Thank you Mr Purrrrkins! š
Mum made sure to get me a big fat explosive Hedgie for me for my Ampuversary, and I know thatš Manni the Wonder Dog šhelped pick that one!
When i went into town on my burfday, i got to say hi to my previous hoomans sister, Aunty Val and my Fur real Aunty. Her name is Mia and she is 12 years old. I always have to stop and say hi to my Aunty Mia!
āAunty Val! Aunty Mia, me & Mumā
Mum is still taking me to see my Miss Leslie for Ortho-Bionomy and Accupuncture, I have been telling her that i really would Ruv to see Miss Leslie more often and she agrees that is would be super beneficial right now to go every week instead of every two weeks, so that starts in April. I Ruv my Miss Leslie. I always feel sooooo relaxed after my session with her. Miss Leslie says itās ācause there is such huge releases happening in my body that I am getting all the rest that my body needs afterwards!
We got some super sad news this past month. My most favourite Drās in the Universe are retiring and saying goodbye!! I canāt even believe that I will never see them again!! Me and my furmily were really, really sad when we were told this news. Mum actually cried when she heard the news! Really! āCause, if it wasnāt for the bravery and the skill of Dr. Bill and Dr. Laurie, i probably would not even be here today!!!
āHappy Retirement Dr. Bill Sones & Dr. Laurie Page!ā
I mean retirement is really good for them right?! So i have to be hoppy for them and they told my pawrents that they will stay in touch, so I get to send them pictures of how well i am doing!
I wrote them a letter telling them how much our furmily appreciates all that they have done for us! But i really donāt think words can truly say all that our hearts have to say. My Mum said that their Plan was not in our Plan, so she has been thinking rather selfishly of herself and her babies!
We can not thank them enough and we wish them all the very, very best in their adventurous retirement.
The collage below was put together by someone who is very special to me also š She did a beautiful job and I know that Dr. Bill and Dr. Laurie will always remember the Allen Furmily with fondness and realize how much they meant to us every time that they look at this picture! š These are Allen Furmily members, present and past that these wonderful doctors have helped in their lives with us.
Farewell Dr Soames and Dr Page!
Back to some good news though… My Mum and Dad had another concert this past month, so once again i got to stay with my Aunty Anne. She really, really Ruvs me! I always feel sooo special when i visit her! Rots of Treats you guys! (Okay and some discipline too!) Thatās the secret way to my heart!
What is really cool though and some of you guys know, ācause you voted for us šis that my Mum and Dadās Video āMy True Loveā has been nominated for Video of the Year award! Thanks to our main man Jordan at Artistic Media Productions! And it stars ME!!! Yup, you got it… I am a co-star in this video… isnāt that pawsome that this was the video that got chosen?!!!

Plus, My Dad entered the Canadian Songwriters Competition and his song āAll the Little Thingsā is nominated! That one gets judged by professional industry people. Iām so very, very proud of my Dad and his music!
So until next time my friends, enjoy the fresh new year. We Ruv springtime. My Mum will be getting ready for her Hummingbirds to come back. She looks for the buds to appear on the trees and then the feeders go out. Oh and Then the flowers go out and veggies get planted and then the Toaster gets put in!!! Yay!!! Yay for Spring and Summer time! As you can tell, Mum is so looking forward to seeing all of this snow gone, but Im ruvinā it! I feel like a real Mountain Dawg!
Happy Hopping my friends and thanks once again for being part of my incredible journey.
