Movin' on Up




Why yes, I do know that it's been some time since I properly updated my blog.  Thank you for noticing.

I suppose that I didn't realize how heavily I relied on mama and her opposable thumbs to keep the world updated to my adventures.  We've had a rough year.  I had all of my medical issues.  She's been depressed.  And she's been trying not to let her being depressed make me depressed.  But it's tough - we're an attached-at-the-fuzzy-hip kind of team - so whenever one of us it out of it, so too is the other.

I am pleased as punch to announce that we will be picking up roots once again (OK, I'm not thrilled about moving but am thrilled about new possibilities for sticks) and moving this July to Pittsburgh!  So for those keeping track, I was born in Virginia, flew to Los Angeles, drove to Portland, Oregon, drove to Philadelphia, now it's on to Pittsburgh.  We are hoping that a change of place may help bring on a change of attitude, still on the east coast and still near plenty of sticks.

So hang on for the ride, will ya?  I promise to be here more often, sticks in mouth, and Airetitude turned up to 11. 

Love,
Bogart

Daddy Hannibal Update


Just a quick update to let you all know that my dad Hannibal made it through his surgery and is doing well!  Of course he's supposed to be resting now, but like the fine Airedale that he is, he's already trying to chase cats and use those big, brown eyes to manipulate everyone in sight.  I cannot tell you how happy I am to hear that he's made it through such a dangerous situation (stomach torsion is no joke, and it's usually fatal).

I am proud to be from such fine stock.  I can see such a family resemblance!
Big kisses to you Dad - LOVE YOU!

Love,
Bogart

Hannibal's Hope

This is Hannibal, Bogart's father.He is still in very serious condition with stomach torsion, but is defying the odds as only an Airedale can! I am so happy to know Bogart's family, they are great people, and every bit counts for them!  Click on the photo to go to Hannibal's Hope, their GoFundMe page, and if you can, contribute a little to his care! 

Love,
Bogart
