Based on everyone’s advice, I waited awhile before returning to the Dog Park. I’m happy to tell you that it was a success! Rumbles was such a good boy! He was super excited when we pulled into the park and we ran from the car to the dog area, which is way on the opposite side of the park […]

That’s what Mom says anyway. The other day she took me along to run errands with her. We went to Petsmart, which was really exciting. I snuffled all of the corners and met a bunch of other dogs. Mom got food for me (yay!) and she bought a toy for the cat (which I thought […]

Just got home from seeing, sniffing and licking my favorite vet, Dr Krupnik (Englewood, NJ). He’s my ‘regular’ vet and this was my first visit with him since my surgery. He checked out all of my parts. He said that I was a perfect candidate for the amputation because I am healthy and fit and have […]

So now I’m here. A ‘tripawd’. Just like the rest of you. Still me. But with three legs instead of four. What the heck happened?! I went to the vet, fell asleep and woke up feeling really, really weird. So I bit the lady who was trying to help me. Bad idea. The vet called my mom and […]

When I was two years old, Mom and Dad got me the best gift ever. A puppy! Boy, was I excited. When I first met her, I gave her a big head butt and she rolled across the grass. Then she got up, ran back at me and bit my leg. Yes! We may have had […]

My new family named me Rumbles. Every time I saw Dad, he said, “Let’s get ready to RUMBLE!” I knew that meant we were going to play rough. I loved it and would get really wild running and jumping. I grew up to be a strong, handsome guy. I wasn’t very big, for a boxer. But […]

I was born in Istanbul, Turkey in 2001. My human dad came to visit one day and said I was the best. The pick of the litter. The sweetest little guy. He was right. He let me say goodbye to my littermates and dog-mom and off we went to start my new life. We went […]
