Momma said there'd be days like this FM took a little road trip to WI yesterday to shoot some wildlife and fall colors (only with her camera). She was very sad when she came home and saw that I'd been licking myself like crazy. I've heard that some of my RAGOM friends have had to wear the dreaded "cone of shame". Now I'm a member of the club. FM took me to the vet this morning where I was shaved, medicated and SHOT!! That's right, a needle right in my rear end, when I was least expecting it From there it was on to Chuck & Don's to be fitted for "the cone". Sigh.... I hear if it stops raining we'll take a little jaunt to the DQ, if I'm feeling up to it. Oh, I think I'll be feeling fine by then

This.............................................................will get you this 

Other than the past two days' excitement, my days are usually pretty mellow. I take lots of power naps, request that my meals consist of either hamburger or ground turkey with rice and veggies, bark when I need to go outside and get along famously with the RC (resident cat).

I had a couple of days where I wasn't feeling quite myself and FM & FD were pretty worried about me. I'm happy to report that I'm doing better, even with my nasty hot spot experience. Therefore....drum roll please....I've decided that I need a fun outing, one which involves hitting the road and meeting new dogs and people! You guessed it, I've talked FM & FD into attending the Meet & Greet tomorrow at Chuck & Don's in Edina   I feel you're never too old for a bit of culture, and rumor has it there'll be lots of dogs from Turkey there. I intend to sniff each and every one and welcome them to America! Hope to see you there!

Hey everybody, Mr. Goober here!! Did you know, the postman always rings twice? That's exactly what happened here when MY package was delivered on Friday! I knew right away it was mine because MY name was on it!

FM and FD helped me open it up (that opposable thumb thing, you know) and OMGoodness, have you ever seen so much deliciousness all in one box? I know I haven't!

FD let me check out the whole box! I was mesmerized! So many cookies, so little time!

I quickly decided on a tasty little piggy, for fear FD would take the box away before I had a chance to choose something!

Needless to say, this has been an awesome weekend! Thank you so much, Secret Admirer (I wish I knew who you are!) for sending me my very own box of goodies! FM says they've come in especially handy the last couple mornings. She's of the opinion that I've become a bit picky about eating my breakfast, so she breaks up a cookie to add to my kibble. Sure helps the same ol' stuff go down the hatch .

Stay tuned for a "how my vet appointment went" update at the end of this week. My last cold laser treatment is this Wednesday and Dr. Jean from Glacial Ridge Veterinary Clinic in Glenwood, MN (who has so kindly donated the cost of the treatments - thank you so much for your love and generosity!) will evaluate the effectiveness of the treatments. Please cross your paws for me for a good report! Until then, I think I hear a cookie calling my name - I'd better check it out .

Hey everyone, Goober here! First order of business...I'd like to thank, from the bottom of my Golden heart, Sharon & Todd Sens for their generous sponsorship of...ME!! You guys are the greatest . I already put some of that money to good use today when my antibiotic Rx was refilled :) Thank you again so much!!

Second order of business...Goldzilla! Never in all of my 13 or so years have I ever had such a pawesomely fantastic day. I got there early with my first foster Mom & Dad, strutting...ok, moseying...my stuff and wearing my magical RAGOM vest. It has pockets on each side and all day long, all my new human friends kept stuffing money in those pockets! By the end of the day I was carrying a pretty heavy load and was gosh darned proud to hear I'd collected over $100 in my magical vest! FM says I sure know how to work a crowd . Thank you to all who contributed, I so appreciate your love and contributions! It was a really fun time and I was plumb tuckered out from meeting so many new two and four legged friends.

After Goldzilla, I came home with my new and permanent foster Mom & Dad. It's pretty much the same here as my first foster home, except I'm not sharing King of the Castle duties. Well, at least not with another dog...there IS a cat here who thinks he's in charge, and I'm smart enough to know we'll keep the peace if I continue to let him "think" that .

I'll write more another time...I'm still catching up on my sleep from the busy weekend. If you missed seeing me at Goldzilla, stop on out to Chuck and Don's in Shakopee this Saturday, the 19th, from 12-2pm. I'll be wearing my magical vest and waiting to meet you!!
