Merry Christmas!!  It's hard to believe that I have been with my family for over 4 years.  I am doing great!  I still love to watch the deer and squirrels run around our yard.  Everyone takes good care of me. 

 

Suzanne figured out that something was wrong with my eye.  She took me to an Eye Specialist for dogs at Metro Hospital in Copley.  I couldn't believe that they had an eye specialist for animals.  My doctor is very nice and she said I have "episcleritis".  It sounds yucky.  The white of my one eye gets bright red and swollen, but they have special drops that I get every day and that takes care of it and make my eye healthy again. I am a good patient and sit nicely while Suzanne or Jim puts the drop in my eye each day.

 

I get to go on little trips to the park and to my "grandparents" home.  They love me.  They had corgies for a long time but now they love to have me come and visit.  They just live around the corner from us so it isn't a long drive but I feel special looking out the car window as we go.

 

I have several favorite toys to play with.  I like to carry around 2 frisbees and two rubber bones.  They are all this beautiful blue color and made especially for dogs.  I can carry all 4 things in my mouth at one time.  The family is amazed by me :)  I can do a few tricks but mostly I like to snuggle on the couch with Suzanne.  It's hard to say what my favorite thing to do is ... I like to jump onto Jim's side of the bed when he gets up for work in the morning and snuggle on his pillow.  I like to play with Mitch, Keith and Meg too ... I run around in a circle like crazy ... it is a fun life.

 

Well, that's my story for now.  Wishing you a very Merry Christmas.  Until next year.

 

Lovingly,

Diesel and Family
