Pawtying it Up with Arizona Tripawds

Three legged Shepherd dog Wyatt Ray meets tripod Dixie and Chuy in Messa Arizona.

Last week I went to a pawty. But not just any pawty, a Tripawd Pawty! I got to meet my Arizona pals, Chuy and Dixie, and even Nikki and Buddy‘s pawrents, Ted and Mary, came by to say Woof!

Chuy and Dixie are the low key, play-it-cool type of dogs (although I think Chuy didn’t want to let on how crazy he can get!).

For some reason they don’t like to run around wild and bark at anything that moves. Hmmm…wonder why? But that’s OK, because I still think they’re cool. We got along pretty good despite my pestering them to let me chase ’em around.

I really liked being around Dixie. She’s so calm and self-assured. She’s got the Tripawd ‘tude and she wears it well.

The best part about going to a Tripawd pawty at the dog park, is that all the humans there think we are AWESOME.

I mean I already know we are but it’s so much fun to watch their jaws hit the dirt when they look at us and go “hey, those dogs are all missing a leg!”

I had to leave Arizona after the pawty (no, they didn’t kick me out, I’m going back to Colorado with my pack). But I hope that Chuy, Dixie and some other Tripawds that are in the area will continue to have pawties and keep on showing the locals that Triapawds rule!

Slave to the Man

Three legged German Shepherd dog Wyatt Ray works hard as Tripawds ambassador.

When Codie Rae told me I was going to a new home, she did not tell me that it was under the condition that I work off my room and board. I think she was trying to get rid of me because she knew that Mister Perfect Travis Ray was coming for a permanent visit.

Since I’ve been a part of this crazy pack, I’ve made videos, worked in the blazing hot sun as an ambassador, gone on hospital tours and now, I’ve been subjected to starvation for the sake of another hinky Tripawds contest.

The other day my pawrents put my food bowl in front of me. Thinking that perhaps there was something edible inside of it, I jumped in and took a big bite of  . . . paper! They said I was picking a winner or something.

Geez. How low can they go?

Then again, I guess it ain’t all bad. We’ve left California and are now in another desert, in Arizona. I’ve never been to Arizona, so I guess there’s one perk of this Tripawds Ambassador job.

Hmmmm….I guess it ain’t so bad after all.

On Your Knees, Punk!

Three legged German Shepherd tripod Wyatt meets hairless Peruvian bitch dog Lily in Borrego Springs California.

There aren’t too many things in this world that I’m afraid of. But the other day, I met this hairless Peruvian bitch who brought me to my knees.

Lily had fire in her eyes and sported a mohawk that would make punk rockers proud. She had a bark and she wasn’t afraid to use it.

She was definitely my kinda girl.

Lily. The punk rocker hairless bitch from Borrego Springs California. I’ll never forget her.

Dig My Whirling Walk in the Desert

Three legged German Shepherd dog Wyatt shows us how he walks with the Gentle Leader.

You can’t say I don’t know how to occupy myself. See, I’ve been digging these great huge holes out here in the desert, trying to find out what’s underneath all this dirt.

Mom and Dad don’t seem to care too much ever since they heard that digging is good exercise for a Tripawd’s wrists. Plus, it’s not like there’s any grass here to ruin or anything (well, except this fake stuff). So when my pawrents working on whatever it is they do, I’m doing my investigations.

 Ok, now my Mom wants you to know that she knows that rope on my harness looks bad, but she and Dad keep a close eye on me and don’t let me stay on it unsupervised or get tangled up in it. Except of course, when I can’t stop them because I’m having a freak out.

Little do they know my evil plan . . . whenver I freak out, Mom and Dad have to stop what they’re doing, and take me for a WALK!  Bwwwwaaaaahhhh ha ha!

Wiley Riley’s Life Lessons

Smart Shepherd Riley teaches dogs how to get new toys.

Speaking of yummy toys . . . my Sheppie friend Riley just did something that probably has us all beat.

He ate his Mom’s laptop and power cord! Not even my road flare trick or Codie Rae can top that one.

Geez, he was just trying to help her by getting rid of that box that makes her so mad all the time. His Dad didn’t scold him too bad though since Wiley Riley was smart enough to not get caught in the act. But later, check this out; his Mom came home with a new chew toy for him!

Hahahahaha! We Sheppies are the smartest dogs ever!

Class, Pay Attention!

Chew a toy of Mom and Dad’s + Don’t Get Caught = More Toys!

I think maybe Riley should come here and share some of his other lessons with us, don’t you?
