It was just about a year ago that our little Munch came to us ( see post: A Heart to Heart, Species to Species posted 12/24/12) in a pitiful state and almost died on Christmas eve. We felt that an update 1 year later would be appropriate so we are very happy to tell you that little Munch is thriving. He’s absolutely spoiled rotten, thinks he should have a “hamburger” (our name for his special dinner) every time dad’s feet hit the floor. Dad often tells him that he’ll have to wait some of he’ll pop. Some supervision is required when he and Grandma (an ancient Min Pin) get their treats but Munch will staunchly ward off any interlopers, setting them straight in short order on treat ownership issues. He’s still a very old dog, no getting past that but he enjoys life and still takes himself out to enjoy sunny days on the deck and has actually been seen to run around and cavort with some of the other dogs. He’s got his own little spot in dad’s office but sometimes asks to sleep on the bed in his special corner.
I’m so glad we have been able to help him enjoy another year of “a life worth living” and he has certainly repaid us several times over with love and laughter. When he does leave us, it will be as a member of the family, not a piece of trash. Merry Christmas y’all! Please remember to be supervise your doggies with all of the holiday treats, gift wrappings, small toys etc.
