Sled Dawg

Three legged German Shepherd Wyatt runs with the Odaroloc Sled Dog Team on a training run in Colorado.

I’m a team player, oh yes I am

Just like Spirit Jerry, I got to hang with Spirit Calpurnia‘s Pack,
The Odaroloc Sled Dog Team, before I left Colorado
and they went up to Alaska for winter.

And for one awesome training run, I got to be a Sled Dawg!

Who says Tripawds can’t do it all? Man that was fun!
Best day ever!

P.S. Don’t get all freaked out; I was on Spirit Calpurnia’s Special Dawg team
of uh, mature, and more, uh challenged doggies so we
went very slow and only ran for a few minutes.

and nopawdy yelled “MUSH!” either!

What a blast!

On the Road with a Good Report Card

Tripawds Spokesdog Wyatt Ray gets a good check up at Colorado State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital Community Practice Program and hits the road with his snowbird pawrents.

What a week! I went to the Colorado doctor and she told me I’m pawfect. No more conehead! No more stitches and now maybe my fur can grow back.

Then she looked at my teeth and said they’re sparkly and white!
Haha, no teeth cleaning for mmmmmeeeeee!

After my visit we left Jerry’s Acres to fly south for winter.
But winter keeps following us.
Today it looked like this in the city!

Wheeee! It’s gonna be a verrrry interesting winter!

Pexied

German Shepherd Tripawd Wyatt undergoes elective gastropexy surgery and tonsillectomy at Colorado State University.

I’ve had three surgeries in my life and my people thought a fourth one would be a smart thing to do. Whaaaa? Nopawdy asked ME!

Thanks Travis Ray! If you hadn’t have bloated I wouldn’t have gotten a camera and knife stuck in my belly. But nooooooo. My people learned about bloat and then panicked. They talked to other panicky smart people who say that a “gastropexy,” which tacks my stomach to my abdominal wall, is a smart thing to do for a German Shepherd like me. Otherwise if my stomach decides to flip over one day, which happens to a lot of Shepherds, I could die within minutes!

Well I don’t want to die, I got too much regulating to do. So here I am, zonked out from this surgery AND they even took my right tonsil too! The good Dr. Imhoff and Dr. Smeak and that nice vet student Marcella didn’t tell me they were gonna do that! But it was looking icky and the smarty doctors said it needed to come out. So they did and now my tonsil is in a lab being looked at. Someone said “could be cancer” but I don’t buy it. Cancer, you don’t dare mess with me, got it?!

The Rodent Patrol

Three-legged dog Wyatt performs rodent patrol at his Colorado dude ranch.

The coyotes don’t sing like they used to here at the ranch. I think they’re disappearing. And that’s the reason why skwirells are showing up again. And again.

But fear not. The Rodent Patrol is here.

The job of the Skwirell Sheriff has become ever more important as skwirells over-run us. They are chewing through the fluffy stuff inside our truck engine. They must be stopped.

Heeerrrre skwirly skwirl. C’mere, I have something for you.

Come on skwirly skwirl, you can trust me.

King of the Mountain

Three legged German Shepherd Wyatt Ray guards the Colorado ranch against fools who play with fire in the mountains.

The days are long and the work is hard here in this Colorado paradise. But each time I reach the top of the mountain, I am KING.

Can you hear me roar?

My people are working hard trying to make sure the tourists are happy. We go around fixing stuff and I keep a careful watch to make sure nobody causes another forest fire (the scary Colorado fires that you probably heard about got real close to here).

It’s safety first on the ranch. No barbecuing, no camp fires, nothing. Don’t evenĀ think about playing with matches you fool, or you’ll have to answer to ME!
