Hi everyone! It's Walter here. My friend June and I have a friendly rivalry going on today as our football teams meet tonight in their season opener. June is a Baltimore Ravens fan and I'm a dedicated Buffalo Bills fan. Her very talented mom (who also has ties to Buffalo - she was born there) made this cool trading card like portrait of me so I can show support for my Bills.

Hi everyone! It's me, Walter. We've had a miserably hot summer without much rain, so we haven't been spending much time outside. One thing we have done is take a trip up to our local Bruster's Ice Cream shop a few times. They give away free Doggie Sundaes every day! The first-time mom forgot to take any pictures, but I made sure she did when we went a few days ago.

I love working on Kongs anywhere! The weather has been cold and raining so we can't get outside right now so my dad stuffed a Kong for me and let me work on it on the bed.

Hi everyone! It's Cindy here. Millie is home but far from out of the woods. After three days in the hospital Millie still wasn't eating consistently and the vet felt she was well enough to go home. It's good to be home. The hope is that at home she will feel more comfortable and be willing to eat in quiet, familiar surroundings.

She is still at the 24-hour vet Rochester Emergency Veterinary Services (REVS) but is doing much better.

Hi everyone! It's Walter here. I thought I would pop in to let you know what is going on with Millie. It sure is quiet around here. We got a call from our vet early this morning with results from Millie's blood tests and it turns out she is not in kidney failure but has pancreatitis. Our parents were very worried about her and before that call were contemplating what the next steps would be for Millie.

Hi everyone! It's Millie here. I've been causing a bit of mischief the past few days. I've been napping a lot this past weekend. It started Friday night and Saturday morning when I threw up four times in a few hours. Next thing I know I didn't get any breakfast and then I was off to the vets. They poked and prodded me as well as took x-rays of my chest and abdomen, but did not find anything wrong.

Hi everyone! It's Millie and Walter here. We've been having a rough winter this year especially compared to our past two winters. This year is really about average for snow fall but we've also had lots of below normal temperatures. I'm heading out from the back door along one of the paths we have. Our parents keep a path shoveled on our patio but after that it's just all foot paths.

I'm blowing a big raspberry on today's weather. I'm staying inside and getting my rest as it's too miserable to be outside. When you're a senior pup like me it's okay to take it easy most of the time.

As usual our mom prints out all the e-cards we get too so we can display them all on our ribbons with the snail mail cards.  Millie eventually showed up because she thought there might be treats involved.
