SO the nice family called the totally pawesome people at <a href="http://www.azbtrescue.org/">The Arizona Boston Terrier Rescue</a> who said we will totally take that little dude. Well, Mom was already talking to the rescue lady and she let Mom know there was a '2 year old male stray' coming in to rescue.

OMDOG could you imagine 365 days of TANNER?! omdog. Oh and THANK YOU ALL for all the nice comments that Mom is STILL getting all the time from so many nice people. Many we have never even heard from before.<br /><br />I just wanted to check in and say I am still OK. Mom is working with that AZ Boston Terrier Rescue peoples to find me a new friend. Until then, I am making some of my own fun things to keep happy.<br /><br />So the other day Mom and Dad said that we needed to wash ALL THE DOG BLANKETS. I dunno why, that sounded stupiderest to me. So then Dad hanged this blanket up and was making it dry. Well...I thought it made a neat bridge so I could just go to the other chair like so easy...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dulamae/5827252510/" title="Tanner is confused by the drying blanket... by Dulamae, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3575/5827252510_f460543a8d.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Tanner is confused by the drying blanket..."></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dulamae/5826700799/" title="How did I end up down here? by Dulamae, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3019/5826700799_28780f3a24.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="How did I end up down here?"></a><br />WTF how did I end up down here?!?!?

You know the one that got me out of dog jail in Ohio and drove me all that way to Arizona. WELL Joey said that he called her and told her to TAKE ME BACK because he needs his peace and quiet to fight the Tuna. WTF?!?!?!<br /><br />LOOK AT THIS FACE...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dulamae/5508270350/" title="blissed out car ride by Dulamae, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5094/5508270350_0f4f5ce15f.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="blissed out car ride" /></a><br />Why would he want to send me back to that Ohio??

I have been having more bad poops and I have lost quite a bit of weight. Mom and Dad have been taking me to the vet to figure out what in the heck is wrong with me. Well, now we know. I have a large adrenal tumor in my upper abdomen and it is not operable. My vet doesn't recommend chemo so the plan is just letting me do my own stuff and keeping me happy. Sounds like what should have been going on my WHOLE LIFE!!<br /><br />So guys, I am still as active as ever, eating fine, kicking Tanner's butt and being an over all pain in the rear. I will keep you guys posted if anything changes, but I just wanted to let you all know because we miss you all a lot.<br /><br />Here is proof I am still just as awesome as ever...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dulamae/5508273122/" title="Birthday walk by Dulamae, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5220/5508273122_f77cf18da8.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="Birthday walk" /></a><br /><br />That is me on my 12th birthday leaving Tanner in my dust!!<br /><br />Also...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dulamae/5500586165/" title="63/365 by Dulamae, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5139/5500586165_abc7dd19d6.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="63/365" /></a><br />Does anyone know where a dog can get a job these days, holy cow these Vet bills SUCK!<br /><br />Finally...if I find out that any of you dogs or humans out there are sad and maybe even get the leaky eye, I swear I will send you Tanner. I am celebrating my life and you should too.
