Big Hats, Big Dogs, Big Country

Three legged German Shepherd Wyatt gets a big attitude in West Texas.

They say everything’s bigger in Texas. I like a state that’s big enough for me, but Momma sez even my ego is too big to fit inside this place, whatever an ego is.

We got here to a place called West Texas. It’s like an Old West movie, and some towns I went to are so cool they’re in the movies a lot.

Big cactus, big hat wearin’ cowboys, big haired ladies and big wide open places for me to run, run run. I like it!

Sometimes I overdo it and play too hard though, so today I’m taking it easy on the couch to tell you what I’ve been up to.

One thing I noticed though: these Texans know how to grow those cactus things really big. Which means one thing: big, big thorns! Ouch! I keep getting them stuck in my paws. When I wear my Ruff Wear boots I don’t get ’em, but as soon as I go all nekkid, those thorns like to find their way up in between my toes. Just a few steps and it’s like walking on hot coals!

All you Texas doggies, please tell me how you get around without your feets hurting all of the time? Do you just chew those thorns up and spit ’em out? Or do you wear custom cowboy doggie boots?

Hmm. I wonder if the Fake Prada Store has any?

And Then Spirit Jerry Told Me

Three legged German Shepherd Wyatt understands the importance of a strong pack as he grows up into an adult dog.

Wyatt,” said Jerry. “2012 is going to be your year. I know it. This is the year when you can let go of your past, and move yourself forward so that you can be the pawesome dog I know you were meant to be.

This is the year when you will turn into a Rockstar Tripawd, the time when you will show your pawrents how much you care about your pack by being at your folk’s side, always calmly and obediently, and helping other dogs stay cool in ruff times.

Wyatt, I know you can do this.

OK Jerry. I think I can too.

We’re only 11 days into the year, but so far, so good. No fightin, no cussin, no spittin and no swearin. It ain’t so bad being a good dawg. I like the attention and I’ll keep at it. For you, and all the other Tripawds out there who need help.

Sure Jerry, I can do this!

Three Years Kickin’ and a Flying Dutchman Too

Three legged tripod spokesdog German Shepherd Wyatt Ray celebrates his birthday.

You know three is the magic number, right? Well guess what? Three is MY number today! Woo hoo! It’s my birfday!

It’s been a long haul from the nasty Oaktown ‘hood where I was born, to where I am today, but now that the bad stuff is behind me it’s been nothin’ but good times since I found my pack.

Not that my big day was a wild pawty or anything, because you know how it goes when your birthday falls right after the holidays. But even though we were all pawtied out from our time with Santa Paws, Mom and Dad made it special, and went out to get me a Flying Dutchman from In ‘N Out’s Secret Menu!

Hey Abby girlfriend, they’re just as good as you always say they are. Yum! Nothin’ better than two burgers and some cheese. I gobbled it up in two second flat.

And that was my big day. I know this year’s gonna be great, because you can’t go wrong with the number three!
