Thanks for the birthday messages...my birthday wish...

Wow, I am so overwhelmed with all the birthday messages and emails I received this week, along with get-well messages. It makes Tara, and our whole family, feel supported while we are trying to find out what is going on with me.  So far being 6 is great...yes, I know it has only been 4 days!

My birthday stuffed toys

I am starting to get very nervous about Monday's endoscopy, however I believe Tara is more nervous. You'd think she was the one that was having to go through it. Continued prayers are very welcomed. I am hoping that I feel well enough to get my annual birthday cookie from the Cape Dog Bakery soon...don't get me wrong, I LOVE my new stuffed toys too, but those yogurt frosted cookies that we get for our birthdays are so delicious!

My new "baby"

I have been taking time to read up on what Abbey has been blogging and wanted to add to it. My birthday wish is for all dogs to have a chance at life and not be judged just by the breed they are. Isn't that like what humans call discrimination when someone looks different than the other?

The girls were wishing they had new toys too!

The new McDonald's ad sure isn't helping. I used to love sneaking a french fry here and there, but they no longer get mine (or Abbey's) support. Their latest add is horrible! It compares their new chicken to a stray pit bull (here is the radio ad version: McDonald's Pit Bull Ad). It would be one thing to say "stray dogs", but to specify pit bulls is not okay at all!

Let's focus on not discriminating. Look at this link that shows how a pit bull saved a veteran from taking his own life (Pit Bull Saves Veteran).

I will try to help Abbey keep up with the blog, but I am still not feeling great and it has taken me two whole days to write this blog entry!

With love,
Bode
