Every so often I allow nice dogs to post in my blog. My mom says I have to allow cats to post too, but so far nobody’s asked, thank goodness. Do you have a dog with a story? Tell it to the mom and she’ll pass it along to me. — Gracie
\n===================================================================<\/p>\n
Molly, the 10 1\/2 year old Australian Shep, is who I am.<\/p>\n
My mom, Carol Giambri, is a health nut who refuses drugs.<\/p>\n
I went to one local vet for a drip in my eye, and mom came out told I had lupus possibility and a bad tooth I never complained about. Well, I never complain about anything! Just don’t know how.<\/p>\n
My mom tried a holistic vet who actually pushed drugs on us. Well, going from active on an acre of land daily – running my paws off – to almost dead, depressed, constant 24\/7 itch, infant socks for a month, taking tons of pills… That was a challenge.<\/p>\n
I can relate to what your pill-pushing mom has to go through, but since I am on your side, I can help make the sour taste leave fast. My mom takes pricey grass-fed meat (buffalo, lamb, turkey-hater, beef). She sticks my pill in the middle of the patty. Every so often I can pick out the pill but usually I’m fooled.<\/p>\n
My mom is radical so she fusses when she hears the word drugs addressed to anyone in our family. I am now eating veggies grated in my patty too. She fools me. I am taking pricey yogurt (6 ou. $2.39) daily-1 TABlespoon. I don\u2019t know what a pill pocket is but my mom\u2019s way tricks me good.<\/p>\n
My mom said I will never take any more meds or do any form of surgery. I\u2019ll be 11 years old next month. I was adopted at 1 from a shelter. My real name was “Lucky,” but the shelter told them I was “Molly.” I was slow to respond. Can you see why? No I jump high when my mom calls “Molly!”<\/p>\n
I am finally back outside lots now and I am RECOVERED from Lupus.<\/p>\n
My mom is going to write a book about my story. Okay – 3 books maybe: My story, her story tied into relationships, her other story about me and business talk. See how popular I am becoming. Hope we talk soon. I don\u2019t have a site for you to write me a love note, but mom is feeling led to believe it\u2019s coming.<\/p>\n
Oh, you are a beautiful dog, Gracie! I see you get on the Seattle Metro Bus. Did you have to pay for a seat?<\/p>\n
Bye and with love, Molly, the recovered 10 1\/2 year old Lupus dog

From Gracie: <\/strong>Wow, thanks, Molly! You wrote a great post for us. I don’t have to pay for a seat on the bus because I fit in my mom’s lap. I am not allowed to have my own seat and I do not ride on the floor. I am a princess and we don’t do floors.<\/p>\n You have a great mom. I can’t have meat patties because I’m on a special diet for my sensitive tummy. But your mom sounds great. I will tell Cathy to listen. She needs all the help she can get. <\/p>\n Thanks for reminding me I am beautiful. I’m a Canine Urban Princess and my mom is not allowed to forget. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Every so often I allow nice dogs to post in my blog.
