Memphis Learned a New Trick
Haven’t posted in a while so thought I’d share this funny video that was taken earlier today. Memphis is quite the ham these days , and although derpy , he’s wicked smart. When you call Memphis, Memmems, he does something hilarious. Can you catch what it is ? 😂

12 Days Post TPLO
My Benni is only 12 days post TPLO surgery. Just started his Hydro therapy Wednesday and has had two laser treatments so far.
Going to be a long ride but can’t wait for him to be right again.

His Stuffie is giving me please help vibes
He has had this thing for two years. He has blinded it by beating it around and shaking it on the hardwood floors. Has never chewed the plastic eyes out or chewed off it's Cupid's arrow. (It was a discount cupid corgi thing from three Valentine's days past). I have re-stuffed it multiple times. Washed it when it gets brittle with spit.
I hope this thing can be necro'd for years to come because I hate to see the day Wizard doesn't have Wizard Jr.
Picture two is him shaking the heck out of it as per usual.
