How to Tire Out a Three Legged Dog

Step 1--Go for a walk.

Step 2--There is no Step 2.  You're done.

 

I am sooo tired!  Mom took me to the forest preserve today.  She's doing the MS Walk next weekend in Chicago with some folks from work and dogs are allowed.  She didn't really think I'd be able to do the 3 miles of the walk, but decided to take me out for a test run, just to make sure.  She was totally right.  She says we got in about 1 mile.  After 1/2 a mile, I just gave up.  I mean, I'm 8 years old and I'm missing a leg--I wear out easily!  I just laid down in the grass and Mom had to sit and wait for me.  She did bring some cool water and I had that while I rested.  At one point, I thought Mom was going to have to pick me up and carry me.   

 

She did have to lift me into the car.  It's not that tall, and Mom says I could make it if I wanted to, but I'm just not sure.  Check out my  new setup.  I'm stylin' in the new car.

 

I still don't really like riding, though.  I do like to go other places, just not the ride.

 

Also, you may have noticed the green water dish.  It's awesome.  Mom got it for me the other day.  It's collapsable, so she can just clip it onto her pants or slip it into a large pocket.

Hey Max, you're a pretty cool Tripawd! We just wanted to say Hi, and if you're ever bored and want to come play with other Tripawds, come on over to my website, Tripawds.com to share your story and meet other three legged heroes!

Cool water dish by the way! Yeah, tripawds do need an awful lot of water when we walk!

Max, you are one handsome fellow. Obviously your Mom thinks so too. She takes these cool pictures and allows you to post them on your blog. Hope her arm has stopped hurting now. The scar is looking real nice. The two of you seem to enjoy a lot of things together. Tell your Mom I love her...love you too. Brandma
