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, ā€˜cause there was lots of flooding going on down there… but they were okay, ā€˜cause they climbed high onto this Railway Trestle, but then Mum had to save Dad from falling off!!!

ā€œWatch out Dad, youā€™re afraid of heights!ā€

My special spa daze have been cut back and I donā€™t mind ā€˜cuz Miss Leslie and Mum agreed that I didnā€™t 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 Mumā€™s Sister (my Aunty) and her daughter (my cousin) and her daughter (my 2nd cousin), so we had 3 generations of my Mumā€™s 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, ā€˜cause 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, Iā€™ll 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 šŸŽŠšŸ‘šŸŽŠ

They arrived at a really cool campsite in our area after a super long drive up from your United States Of Amurica! šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø!!

But first a Pawsitively cool (and extremely embarrassing!šŸ¤—) 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 ā€˜cause 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 ā€œof course they wonā€™t 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, šŸ¤— 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 couldnā€™t 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 couldnā€™t 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 ā€œRest!ā€ they say! Uuuugh! I felt fine!!!)Ā 

Hereā€™s 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 Mumā€™s 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 ā€˜Sneak ā€˜a 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 Hedgieā€™s 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! šŸ˜‰

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… šŸ˜‰

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!!!! Isnā€™t she gorgeous??? Mr Purrrkins sent me another e-Hedgie and I Ruv her!! Thank you Mr Purrkins, you are so good on your compotes!! šŸ˜‰

Oh and I got more pictures of My Pack Mum, her name was Mia, wasnā€™t she beautiful?? Now I know where I got y handsome face from! (She also was diagnosed with šŸ’©Ā Osteo, but her pawrents couldnā€™t give her the chance at becoming a Tripawd! šŸ™ I have her same lips šŸ‘„! šŸ˜‰

and me as a new born… Iā€™m 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 ā€˜cause 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… itā€™s gonna be a big one… Iā€™m celebrating my 1 year Ampuversary!!! Yes! Thatā€™s one year my friends! Come join the fun! That includes Mr Purrrrkins ā€˜cause he is celebrating his 2 year Ampuversary!!! So all you Catssss and Dawgs, come out with your Pawty Boots on, ā€˜cause itā€™s gonna be fun!!!

šŸŽŠšŸŽ—šŸ•šŸŽ—šŸˆšŸŽ—šŸŽŠ

Rots Of Ruv and see you all soon!!!

Super Stu is Hopping into his 11th Month!!!

WhooHoo Tripawds Mates! I have just celebrated my 10 Month Ampuversary!!! šŸŽ—šŸ•šŸŽ—I am feeling so good these days!Ā 

And Iā€™m 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 ā€˜cause she didnā€™t 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 šŸ˜‰ I got a Twisted Bully stick and a squeaky lion. You see, the store in town are out of Hedgies (again!!!) so itā€™s 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, ā€˜cause 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 itā€™s not cause she doesnā€™t Ruv me… She said I can come in any time I feel like it, itā€™s 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 Iā€™m not allowed to chase them! They said that I could hurt my self, but itā€™s not me I want to hurt!!! I know thatā€™s 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 doesnā€™t 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 Iā€™m 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 ā€˜very 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 hereā€™s 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!

Thatā€™s all for now my friends! Until next month when I can fill you in on more of my adventures with my pawsome furmily!

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 Drā€™s 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 wouldnā€™t 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 donā€™t 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 Spikeā€™s 19th Birthday with him! We all had a piece of Tuna Pie! (Okay, it was just a chunk of tuna, but that doesnā€™t 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, heā€™s an Amurican, just like so many of my Tripawd friends! Amurican Hedgies noses are flatter than Canuck Hedgies! I even got a Ampuversary card!!! Iā€™ve never had one of those before!!! Miss Holly, you da best!Ā Thank you!!

And my Kittyā€™s 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 youā€™s for their treats too! šŸ˜‰

My Mum and Dad had a couple of concerts this past month, plus a couple of important road trips that they couldnā€™t 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 ā€˜cause 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! Itā€™s 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 donā€™t 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 donā€™t stay outside for very long on these damp daze!

Mum is feeding me this Milky Thistle stuff! ā€˜Cause 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!

Iā€™m 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!

Hi Guys, Super Stu here!

I can not believe it is 8 months past my surgery day! Like Holy Hopping Doodle! Spring is almost on us and Iā€™m feelinā€™ Gooooood!!! The daze are getting longer and I am having so much fun in the sun and snow! It wonā€™t be long before all this snow is gone, so Iā€™m 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 didnā€™t get a new burfday Hedgie you guys!!! They didnā€™t have any in stock!!!! šŸ˜³ šŸ˜± 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!

ā€œMe & my Monkey!ā€

ā€œDad & I playinā€™ with multi coloured cows!ā€

ā€œMum & me playinā€™ with my old Hedgie!ā€

What was really cool was that it was Miss Lilyā€™s 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 anypawdyā€™s Valentine before so she felt pretty Loved too! Thank you Mr Purrrrkins! šŸ’•

Mum made sure to get me a big fat explosive Hedgie for me for my Ampuversary, and I know thatšŸŒŸ Manni the Wonder Dog šŸŒŸhelped 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!

ā€œAunty 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 itā€™s ā€˜cause 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 Drā€™s in the Universe are retiring and saying goodbye!! I canā€™t 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! ā€˜Cause, if it wasnā€™t for the bravery and the skill of Dr. Bill and Dr. Laurie, i probably would not even be here today!!!

ā€œHappy 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 donā€™t 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 šŸ˜‰ 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! šŸ’ž 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!) Thatā€™s the secret way to my heart!

What is really cool though and some of you guys know, ā€˜cause you voted for us šŸ˜is that my Mum and Dadā€™s Video ā€œMy 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… isnā€™t that pawsome that this was the video that got chosen?!!!
We sincerely want thank each and every one of you for supporting my Mum and Dad in every way that you do!!! šŸ˜˜ ~Ethpethely to my motht favorite perthon EVAH!!! šŸ˜
Plus, My Dad entered the Canadian Songwriters Competition and his song ā€œAll the Little Thingsā€ is nominated! That one gets judged by professional industry people. Iā€™m 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.

Stewie, Petra, Paul, Spitfire Spikey, Cheeky Chester, Prissy Miss Lily and Tedster

Super Stuā€™s 7 Month Ampuversary!

Hi folks, Stewie here…

Can you all believe that it has been 7 months since my Mum and Dad gave me a whole new leash on Life!? Really, itā€™s been 7 months that I have been living the Hoppy life as a Tripawd! 7 months that I have been living a pain free life! How that time thing flys!!! We donā€™t take any of our days together for granted, evah!!! I Ruv them so much!

So here at the Allen Ranch it has been a pretty quiet, but no less adventurous month!!!
We have had the usual country living winter issues and then a few extra on top of the norm… water and power, one should never take them for granted!! There have been a few days that Mum and Dad had to carry water into the house, in order for me and my kitty siblings to drink and they had to work really hard in order for us to have temporary water until spring… keep your paws crossed for an early spring my Tripawd friends my Mum and Dad are going to need it!

I am still seeing my acupuncture person, Miss Leslie. I had a minor episode of that Phantom Limb thing happen last week, but it was over before we all knew it and my Mum came and gave me a really good rub down! I reaaaaaally Ruv those rub downs!!! My eyes roll back and I swear I drool!

Miss Leslie is pawforming her Ortho-Bionomy thing me! Oooooh soooo good!

So my Mum and Dad had another concert this month and as you all know I get to go to my Auntieā€™s house for the night and I get totally spoiled! I Ruv hanging out with my Aunty!!! Even her BooBoo >^..^< is being a lot nicer to me. She doesnā€™t stalk me so much, i think she kinda loves me… šŸ˜‰

My Mum wrote a verse that she reads out during one of Dadā€™s songs called ā€˜ā€™Feeling of Homeā€ and she thought that she would share it with you guys ā€˜cause she thinks it is pretty applicable to everyone here…
Itā€™s got to do with that whole time thing and i have to say I completely agree with the words on this one…

ā€œLetā€™s take that cup of Time my friends
And consider it always full!
Life is really too short
And sometimes that cup is way too small…
But If we Live and we Learn
And Love, Laugh and Play
Tomorrow doesnā€™t matter…
ā€˜Cause Itā€™s all about Today!ā€

Im sooooo proud of my pawrents!
ā€œAllensongā€™s single ā€œEternal Soul” has reached #3 on the Canadian singer/songwriter charts.ā€
Check it out at AllenSongMusic Youā€™ll love it!

Oh and guess what you guys…??!! Itā€™s my Birthday on Valentineā€™s Day!!! Truly, i am turning 8 years old!!! My pawrents know that my birthday is in the month of February, they just werenā€™t sure exactly when, so why not pick Valentineā€™s Day?!!! šŸ’

And you know what this means right??? More Hedgieā€™s and Bully sticks!!! Yay!!!! More Celebrations!!!
šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰Ā šŸŽˆšŸŽŠšŸ””šŸ””šŸ›ŽšŸ—šŸ—šŸ¦”šŸ¦”šŸ¦”šŸ¦”šŸ¦”šŸ¦”
And you wouldnā€™t guess, but itā€™s Miss Lilyā€™s 3rd Birthday next week!!! Even more celebrations!!!
šŸ˜»šŸ˜½šŸŸšŸšŸ—

Pick a toyā€¦ any toy!

We have already been receiving best wishes and it makes us feel so Ruved!!! šŸ˜˜

You know, my Mum tells me that we Tripawds have pretty pawsome attitudes, but we also have a pretty sicā€™ sense of hooomer too right!! Right??!! šŸ˜‰

So on that note my Tripawd friends, have a Pawsome month! And until my next Pawsitively Hoppy Update for my 8 Month Ampuversary… Ruv Ya!

Super Stuā€™s 6 Month Ampuversary!

Hoppy 2018 everyone!
I hope you all had as good a Christmas season as I had?! So much to tell…

ā€œI got a new Hedgie for Christmas!ā€

HEDGIEā€™S… I GOT ANOTHER HEDGIE FOR CHRISTMAS YOU GUYS!!! He has the best squeak evah!!!And Cheezy biscuits that Dad doesnā€™t like! Hehehehe, he still touched them though, he Ruvs me that much!

I had a real Christmas dinner too!!! I had turkey and mashed potatoes, carrots and all if it smothered in gravy! I RUV Christmas! And I got a bully stick, oh how I Ruv my bully stick!!!

My brothers and sister had a great Christmas too… they got a new scratch toy with honey suckle infused catnip. They got a gazillion balls with bells inside, that they Ruv to chase around the kitchen.

AND…. we all got a NEW BROTHER!!!!šŸ™€šŸ˜» Yes, Thatā€™s him at the end of the couch… I have to pretend to ignore him! Sheeeesh! Heā€™s pretty hard to ignore you guys!

ā€œI know Teddyā€™s there!ā€

His name is Ted, aka Tedwardo, Tedster, Tedmeister and Teddy Bear! Heā€™s right stocky like and plays with Chester like a real fella.

I have to wait patiently while the catsssss get to romp and then I get my Hedgie time!!! Boy oh boy, can I evah rip the stuffing out of these fellas! My Aunty has a gazillion Hedgies to re-stuff for me. She tried making stuffed toys for me, but thereā€™s nothinā€™ like the taste of a good Hedgehog! Otherwise my Mum is going to lay them all out in the woods for me to find… that could be fun too! The Hedgies get a taste of the real world… I get to hunt and they get to hide in the woods! Win, win right?!

ā€œIā€™m watching for my Hedgies!ā€

What an exciting 6 months itā€™s been Tripawd friends. I have a new leash (oops, I mean lease!) on life and my Mum & Dad tell me how lucky they are that I am with them still! I mean, Iā€™m here right… where else am I gonna go?! Sheeeesh, my pawrents think waaaaay too hard on the foooture! I donā€™t intend on going anywhere… my 8th Birthday is coming up in February and my pawrents have told me that weā€™re going to have a massive Pawty! Iā€™m gonna get a Bully stick & a new Hedgie, I know I am… I can smell it now!!!

ā€œWaiting for my Bully stick!ā€

Mum and I started off our new year with a day at the spa together. I get soooo relaxed when Miss Leslie puts her hands along my spine. After that she pokes me with her laser pen thing, which feels kinda neat. Miss Leslie says the pen is magic and gets rid of icky stuff inside my Yā€™organs! I then get to lay on my blanket that Mum brings in for me (ā€˜cause the floors are slippery), while she gets her back and neck hole punched and then massaged. Weā€™re both super sleepy after and Mum always jumps in the bath tub when we get home. She tells me it would make me feel good too, but Iā€™m afraid we wouldnā€™t fit in the tub together!

ā€œWaiting for my moment at the Spa!ā€

For now I get to romp in the snow and stick my head into snow banks and just generally have a bloominā€™ Hoppy Life! Hereā€™s to Hoppy days in 2018 my friends!!!

ā€œOh how I love the snow!ā€

Super Stuā€™s 5 Month Ampuversary!

Hi folks, Stewie here again!

Here I am celebrating my 5 Month Ampuversary, well 5 months and 5 daze to be exact, and I swear, Iā€™ve never been hoppier! (sorry Iā€™m a bit late getting around to it… Mum is always doing something on her iPawd! Sheesh! Whatā€™s a dawg to do to get some attention around this nuthouse!)

Super Stu enjoying life to the fullest!

Itā€™s been an eventful busy month, but Christmas is coming and I know that Mum has a hidden stash of mine somewhere, I can smell it!!! Maybe a new Hedgie?!!! Iā€™ll letcha all know!

I got to go to our annual Remembrance Day service with my Mum & Dad and I got to sing some old war songs with lots of other people… once again, I was the star! I didnā€™t mean to take away from the importance of the people that have fought for our countries, but maybe I was a good distraction from any sadness.

One of the most exciting things that happened this month was when my Mum & Dad recorded another music CD! A really nice guy named Jordan, came to our home for 5 daze and I watched my pawrents sing their hearts out for hours and hours and hours!
I watched every minute of it, ā€˜cause I got lots of loving from Jordan. We even got to go outside at midnight so that Mum & Dadā€™s heads could be recorded for a video that will be put up on Much Music! Itā€™s going to be groovinā€™ dudes!
Jordan was going to get some family pictures, but unfortunately we ran out of time. Thatā€™s okay though, ā€˜cause Mum takes Lots if pictures of me ALL the time! (itā€™s actually hard for a guy to have a snooze around here!!!

Midnight snooze on the couch!

I spent two relaxing sessions with Miss Leslie this month. She treated me with acoooopuncture which helps to wage war against those icky šŸ’©C cells and my Ortho-Bionomy, which feels really weird at the time, but soooo good afterwards! Miss Leslie has really tasty treats for me afterwards too! Mum says those kind arenā€™t very good for me, but how bad can they really be, when the taste so yummy!?!

And youā€™d never guess what…? Mum came with me to my last treatment and had the same thing done on her! Of course she gets to lie up on the comfy table, I only get the hard floor. She gets real tiny needles in her, where I thankfully get the red pen looking thing that they call a lazer! Cool heh?!? She gets like an hours worth of Ortho treatment , where I only get a sucky 20! But Miss Leslie made up for it when I got the run of her office! I got to slobber over this patient guy, who said ā€œHeā€™s only got 3 legs!?ā€ Sheeesh, youā€™d think that was obvious heh! And then he made fun of my scraggy tail! I wanted to nip at his ankles for that! I mean, itā€™s not my fault that someone shaved my tail off entirely years ago. Iā€™m just lucky that it grew back or Iā€™d be a Tail-less, paw-less Tripawd!!! I forgave the patient man ā€˜cause he gave me one of those yummy treats!
I really donā€™t mind that Mum gets a little better treatment, she is in a lot of Pain lately and Dad and I can only do so much for her! She says itā€™s nothing that she canā€™t handle, so weā€™re not to worry!

On the downer side….I had an accidental accident and I got confined to my living room for two weeks, ā€˜cuz I hurt my leg and neck when having a hoppy time at my bestest friends house! It felt really, reallyĀ bad and I had to be put back on bedrest and have those nasty tasting medz! The only reason my Mum gets away with this stuff is because she gave me lots of extra tasty treats to make it all okay! After making me stay on my bedrest for two hole weeks! I was back to my normal hoppy, Hedgie loving self!

Super Stu not feeling so super! ā€œBut still smoochable in my new Tripawds bandanna right?!

Mum now has me booked every week for my special acooooopuncture and Ortho-Bionomy treatments, so that we can stay on top of my hoppiness! Both of us get a spa day together! I think her neck issues are just to make me feel like Iā€™m not alone!!!

Tuckered out!

Unpawtunately my pawrents missed their annual Christmas trip to see their family because they were so worried about me. I kinda feel bad about it, but I kinda donā€™t, ā€˜cause I donā€™t get to go with them on such a long busy trip and would have to stay with my favourite person, Anne. Now donā€™t get me wrong I Ruv staying with her, but I Ruv my Mum & Dad more!

ā€œI so ruv my Auntie!ā€

My Mum is a volunteer for a local group call P.A.L.S. (Protecting Animal Life Society) and she had fun working at the Annual Christmas Fair. She got me a big ring of dog biscuits… I also know that it is supposed to surprise me on Christmas morning, but my nose… oh my wonderful nose! The only reason I havent snuck a nibble is cause she keeps them in her bedroom and only the catsssss are allowed in there. Iā€™ll be really mad if they nibble on my treats before I do!

Another thing my mum did this month for P.A.L.S. was to assist in the trapping & transportation of a stray cat to and from the vets for nootering. (poor fella, I totally sympathize! It doesnā€™t matter the species itā€™s about the principle and the pain!!) She had also organized for the Foster family, so when she got a call from said Foster family telling her that the cat was first trapped in the wall and then not to worry ā€˜cuz said cat had fallen through the ceiling, she and Dad made the immediate decision to bring the said cat home to our house!!!

Me and my Pack are slowly getting to know this very big fella. Mum & Dad call him Ted. He has paws the size of a Panda Bears so Mum calls him TeddyBear. Mum calls him a Foster, but she has said that he will more than likely be a failed Foster and I think my Mum is okay with that, even though she said that there would be absolutely no more cats in the house after Miss Lily, but this fella has a really big purrsonality and she said she canā€™t ignore him!
Now, I know I moved into a mad cattery when I found my furever family almost 3 years ago, but there was only 2 catsssss in the house… now there are 4! Count them you guys… Spitfire Spikey, Chester Molester, Prissy Miss Lily & now Foster Ted! I donā€™t even know if Ted likes me… he runs to his safe place when I hop on by! But I peaked around the corner last night when he was lovinā€™ my Mum & Dad and I have to admit, heā€™s a pretty Cool McCool!

Weā€™ve had a couple of snowfalls this month, but nothing too serious, my Mum says it might not be a very white Christmas this year, but we still managed to get our šŸŽ„ tree up in time!

Iā€™m sorry once again that my Ampuversary blog is late, but I didnā€™t think any of you would mind.

WISHING YOU ALL A VERY HOPPY CHRISTMAS AND BEST WISHES FOR 2018!!!ā¤

Rots Of Ruv From Stewie and his Prideful Pack ā¤

Happy Hoppy Christmas to you all!

Much Gratitude From Super Stu!

A very Hoppy Boy!

Stewie is now 4 months past his amputation and we are finished with any further major treatments.

Stewieā€™s entire Nakusp Veterinary Clinic Team; Dr. Bill Sones, Dr. Laurie Page, Jackie and Lori have had Stewieā€™s best interests at heart from the get go! They have ensured that the clinic has always been ready for our boy and have treated him so incredibly well! Even though Stewie may have grumbled a few times, he allowed them to do their job and that is a huge compliment to their skills and caring attitudes!

Super Stuā€™s Saviours!

We couldnā€™t be more grateful to our veterinarian team! From the very beginning of this journey, they have shown compassion, patience, perseverance and a whole lot of lovinā€™ for our Stewie boy!

Stewie has been a massive challenge for our small town vet clinic and they have overcome them all! Starting with a large, VERY FLUFFY dog that needed to be shaved, then an irritating Seroma, followed by multiple vein issues when trying to take blood, delays in chemo medicine delivery and through it all they kept pawsitive and moved things forward in way that Paul and I were always comfortable with.

Mum and Super Stu after his chemo session.

We are so very grateful to them for giving us this extra time with our boy! Every day that we get to spend with our super hoppy boy is a true gift, but not just that, heā€™s a true inspiration! He doesnā€™t look at life and say ā€œI donā€™t think I can do that.ā€ He looks and says ā€œokay, letā€™s do it! I got this!ā€ Itā€™s hard to have a bad day with Stewie in our lives!

So a huge THANK YOU to everyone at The Nakusp Vet Clinic for working so hard getting Stewie to where he is today!!! We couldnā€™t be Hoppier!

Stewie would also like to thank all of his Tripawd friends for always being there, through our moments of Aaack attacks and our hours of joy!

With much gratitude! ā¤ā¤ā¤

Stewie, Petra, Paul, Spike, Chester and Miss Lily.

Super Stuā€™s 4 Month Ampuversary!

Hi my Tripawd comrades!

I am here to celebrate my 4 Month Ampuversary! šŸŽ‰šŸŽŠšŸŽˆ

I am living the life of a king! I have sooooo much to celebrate… not only have I been hopping on three legs for four months now, I also celebrated my 6th & FINAL CHEMOTHERAPY session on November 8th! I am soooo hoppy that is over and done with! I got lots of chicken treats, pepperoni, a bully stick and a new Hedgie!!!

Enjoying my presents at my Pawty!

Plus I had some of my wonderful Tripawds friends who rang some really cool bells to celebrate my end of treatment Pawty! Thanks Purrkins, Huckleberry, Rusty & Sallyā€™s Alumni! The Bells! šŸ””The Bells! šŸ””They were enough to make me smile & cry!

Stewieā€™s End of Teatment Bell!

Plus I am a model in the Tripawds calendar #23! And so many of my Paw friends are in there too! Some of them are spirit friends, but I am so honoured to share the pages with all of them!
I canā€™t wait to get my copy. What with my fancy new Tripawds Bandanna that is on its way, there will be some great pictures for my 5 Month Ampuversary!!!

A Houndsome Hound!

My Mum & Dad had another concert this month and I got to spend the night at my Aunt Anneā€™s and I got spoiled rawtten! I get to do whatever I want when Iā€™m there and whenever I grumble nicely she gives me treats!
Her kitty ā€œBoo Booā€ scares me though… she just sits right in my space and stares… glares and stares!!! Sheā€™s telling me to GET OUT I know it!! But Iā€™m not allowed out by myself at Auntyā€™s!

For the first time Evah, I was dressed up for Halloween and youā€™d never guess what Mum dressed me up as… go ahead guess! I was kinda mad that she didnā€™t dress the cats in dog costumes!

ā€œMEOWLED!ā€

So Snow has arrived!!! I was so Hoppeeeey! I couldnā€™t wait to go outside and play. Mum was all worried and scared that I was going to slip, but i did great! My big feet act like snow shoes and I stick close to the house when going off the deck, cause itā€™s less snow covered. Mum said sheā€™s looking for chicken grit… I thought she said chickenšŸ’©!
I was even hoppy enough to go for a walk with Dad! He took me around so that I could sniff and roll and pee and sniff and pee and…

The only sad thing about winters arrival, is that I had to say goodbye to the Toaster for the season. See you in 8 months Toasty McBoaty!

Farewell Toasty McBoaty!

In the last month I have started my acupuncture and Ortho-Bionomy treatments! I feel like a pampered King when I go there! It feels soooooo good! Mum laughs ā€˜cause my eyes almost roll to the back of my head, it feels that good! It is helping me with my lungs and my liver and spleen. Itā€™s helping to get rid of the flaky skin and I sleep for days! (Okay maybe not days…) but it really feels that good! Iā€™d recommend it to any Hooman!

I have even been laying on my ā€˜stylinā€™ side more often lately. It feels so good to have a change of positions after so long and I know how to get myself up now!

Relaxinā€™ on my ā€˜stylinā€™ side!

I Ruv my family so very much and they are all so very Hoppy to have me with them!!! So until next time my friends please join me in more Hoppy Hopping and Hoppy Snow Days!

Sloppy kisses from StewiešŸ‘…šŸ¾

Hello to all you beautiful Tripawd & Bipawd Heroā€™s!!!

Stewie asked me to up date his list of what weā€™re his Top 10 Reasons For Wanting To Become A Tripawd! It has now grown and Stewie is shooting for the Top šŸ’Æ Tripawd List of Luxeries!

we have been getting some excellent additions and so the list Absalutely had to have its own blog! We Absalutely encourage any new suggestions, we will update as necessary…

Stewies List…

šŸ”ø Treats & More Treats!
šŸ”ø Only Three Feet to Trim Nails For & only 1 dewclaw!
šŸ”øTons & Tons Of Belly Rubs
šŸ”ø Short walks on lazy days (that’s most days…!)
šŸ”ø Priority over my feline brothers & sister! Ha!
šŸ”ø Comfy, Padded Harness
šŸ”ø Special place of honour in the living room
šŸ”ø Air conditioned shave down for hot summer days showing a new Ā  Ā  Ā  stylin’ hair cut!
šŸ”ø We make people “Super Hoppy” when they see us!
šŸ”ø Most importantly, you become a superstar with your own Tripawds Ā  website and blog! Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  šŸ”ø Extra special Spa Days for acupuncture! (Thanks Purrkins! šŸˆĀ )

ā€œHuckleberryā€Ā šŸˆ adds…

šŸ”ø Kitty tv, relaxation music, man cave covers, kitty visits, mama and papa visits.. you get the picture…šŸ˜Ž

ā€œPaka Tomā€™sā€ šŸˆĀ Ā suggestions…

šŸ”ø New and improved bondā€ between babies and pawrents!

ā€œSallyā€™s Allumni…ā€ šŸ•Ā 

šŸ”ø Endless amount of Hedgies!

šŸ”øĀ Hmmmm….how ’bout never hearing the word “no” again! Tipawds can get away with anything!

Here are some from ā€œRusty The Bunnyman”Ā šŸˆ

šŸ”ø Breakfast in bed (or wherever you may be lying at the moment)

šŸ”ø Get to sleep wherever you want, even if it means you are in Mommy or Daddy’s spot on the bed. Ā The couch is comfy for them to sleep on, isn’t it?!

šŸ”ø Scratching pads in every room!

šŸ”øĀ Stairs to EVERYWHERE-your favorite chair, the window, each couch, Mommy and Daddy ā€˜s bed…

šŸ”ø All the wet food and treats!

ā€œMonaā€ šŸˆ says…

šŸ”ø that a tripawd should get 25% more attention, brushing, snacks, cuddles than the other pets who have 4 legs.

šŸ”ø Mona also says that tripawds should go for chiropractic treatments at least once a month because they feel so good. She said cost should not factor into it. We have to negotiate this benefit.

šŸ”ø Similar to Rusty’s stairs, Mona loves her banker’s boxes. Eli sleeps on them until he is caught by Mona who gives him a bonk because they are for her.

ā€œJerryā€™s Packā€ šŸ• Ā says not to forget this major bonus…!

šŸ”øOOooh ooooh, how about… Tripawds don’t need to “heel” on the leash any more because it’s too hard to slow ’em down!

ā€œRufusā€ šŸ• additions to top šŸ’Æ list

šŸ”øRufus is loving to eat out of a regular bowl again instead of the slow feeder.

šŸ”øHe enjoys his water bowl being packed around the house so he doesn’t have to descend stairs. The day after chemo he gets the water bowl brought right to him.

šŸ”øRufus gets away with pooping and peeing on the grass. He’s supposed to go to the rocks along the boarder, but that might be too far – besides grass is way more comfy on the feet.

šŸ”øUpgraded bed, food, supplements, and attention.

šŸ”øConsistent treats.

šŸ”øAdditional praises for doing everyday things that never got any attention.

šŸ”øConversation staters to educate people how normal life on 3 really can be.

šŸ”øSaving pawrents on everything since we weigh less, food, medicine, hotel fees, flea medicine, soap….

Thanks everyone for your suggestions… Lets keep it going Tripawd friends, this will make us all Hoppy for sure!!!

Sloppy kisses from StewiešŸ‘…šŸ¾
& hugs from his adoring pack,
Petra, Paul, & his šŸˆ Ā siblings, Mr. Spike, Chester Molester and Miss Lily šŸ¾šŸ¾šŸ¾ā¤.

ā€œSee you around!ā€ā¤
