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.

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

Me and my wheels

admin — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 19:57:11 +0000

Since my last post was all about me talking about my story of how I became such a special dog with special needs, I thought it would be a good time to show you what my wheels look like. They are pretty terrific. I try to take them for a spin as often as I can. Lately, it’s been raining cats and dogs out so I’ve had to stay inside. Hopefully, this weekend will be a lot nicer. Wishful thinking but I am all about being positive.

I am howling at my mom in this photo. She wanted me to go in the backyard after my walk with my buddy Ben, but I didn’t want to. I protest a lot when I don’t get my way. I don’t mean to put up a fuss, but I am very stubborn. I think that it comes from my dad’s side of the family. Well, enough about that. What do you think of my wheels? I like them. I finally got the hang of it. I can even back up and change direction now when I have them on. It’s pretty awesome.

Well, I have to go. My mom is about ready to go to work. Take care everyone.

Love, Winston.
