Vulcan mind meld and other basset powers

admin — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 15:21:03 +0000

Do you ever think you had superhero powers? I do. I can make things happen with just the tone of my howl. It’s amazing how people respond. When I am upset, I do the ” low and mournful” variety. When I am happy, I do the “neverending-because-this-is-too-much-fun” variety. I admit that I use these superhero powers to my advantage. I can make my mom stop watch she’s doing and sit on the floor with me and sub my ears or I can annoy her to no end when I want to go for a walk. I can also make my buddy Ben give up his bone when I get on a roll. It’s a gift that I was just born with and have perfected it over the years and now I am reaping the rewards. Some people would call me a stubborn, spoiled brat. I just call it making the best of a situation.

Make the best of your life. Don’t let anything hold you back. I certainly don’t. Being in a chair can be annoying at times but I don’t let that stop my voice from being heard.

Take care of yourselves.

Love, Winston.

Me outside our cabin in Maine

We’re off to Maine

Ok, this is really quick. Mom is running around like a mad woman trying to get ready for vacation. We go to Maine every year and preparing for it is nuts. Look for a few posts in my absence. It will be hard for me to blog every day, but I’ll try. Check out my archives of videos to those that are new to the site. People like my wheelchair videos the best.

Take care of yourselves. I’ll be thinking of you on my trip.

Love, Winston

I howl, therefore, I am

There are many reasons why I wanted to make my howl heard on the world wide web. It’s never been a question of fame or fortune but to put a smile on people’s faces. I get lots of looks whenever I go outside with my family. It’s understandable. I am different. I also know that my unique looks allow me to strike up a chat with people that wouldn’t ordinarily come up to me. It’s ususally me that breaks the ice though. People can’t resist my doggie charm. I even had one lady say hello to me yesterday even though she said she was very afraid of dogs. Imagine that! Isn’t that great! That felt awesome to know that I helped her with her fear. Being afraid can hold you back from having a good time. That’s a shame. Truth be told, I was terrified of my wheels at first. I don’t trust anything that can move on its own ( like the vacuum….yuck). Once I overcame that fear however, my world got 100 times better. I was able to do lots more stuff like walks with my mom, sniffing grass, and peeing on things that needed it.

I guess I am excited to know that this blog might end up helping a person or a fellow canine in some way. I have lots more to say and I will continue this blog until the day that the Big Guy in the sky says I have to come home.

Take care of yourselves,

Winston

p.s. Mom and I are trying to get a video on here soon of yours truly. I would do it myself, but I don’t have opposable thumbs.
