Ok readers, I am going to brag just a bit. Diesel is a star!! This picture of him was chosen by MaPaw Siberian Husky Rescue www.sibes.com as the cover photo for the 2013 fundraising calendar. We got Diesel from this husky rescue in August of 2011. We were looking for looking for a playmate for Rogue, and he immediately fit in the family. The picture was taken in August of this year, when Meagan Ebersole who is a wonderful photographer (check out her site www.mephotodesign.com) did a charity photo shoot for the Delaware County SPCA and I decided it would be a good idea to try to get a photo of all the dogs. Why not? it was for a good cause and Kurt could go with me. Well let me tell you, even after several Benedryls to all of them, no amount of hot dog treats in the world was going to hold them still. Meagan having the patience of Job, ended up getting some really great shots, the one above being one of them- and she was gracious enough to let me submit it for the calendar. Ironically, this is the day we think that Diesel injured his leg for good and we ended up needing to do the surgery. Either by trying to jump into the car, out of the car, or just trying to pull on the leash to hard while we walked them around waiting our turn for the photo. You can say I am a proud mommy!! I will be buying several of these calendars and if you feel like it, you can also buy them, it is a charitable donation for a great cause after all. They should be available for purchase on the www.sibes.com website soon. Or let me know....
Diesel is recovering well, everyday he gets stronger. Somedays it is hard for me to even remember he had surgery. One day last week, when Kurt and I were busy making dinner, he snuck out of his "apartment" in the closed off living room area, and went right outside to the back yard like there was nothing wrong with him at all. How he got by both Kurt and I without us noticing... well that is another story. Luckily the holidays are approaching and I will be home most of this week with him. However I am in fear of what next week brings. Tuesday I must leave for Toronto, yes that apartment about the USA, for a week for work. This is the first time I will be gone since he has had his surgery. I am hoping that all goes well for Kurt while I am away. A few prayers to the man upstairs for Kurt would be appreciated.
I will leave you with a few pictures of Diesel, you can see him walking and standing outside on this beautiful weekend. I am really anxious to see post operative xrays to see how his leg is healing. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving all!!
