Finchy Here…

I wrestled the laptop away from my tripawd brother, Chili Dawg, to check out why he’s always typing on it.  I love my brother, a lot, and I have been worried about him the last few months.  Mom and Dad got me a year after they got Chili Dawg because they could tell that he needed a friend.  Chili and I are 6 months apart in age and we have been inseparable in the seven years we have been together.

A few months ago, Chili stopped wanting to wrestle with me and he started to limp.  Dad took him to the vet a couple times and then Mom did a lot of crying, so I knew it wasn’t good.  Then, one day Dad took Chili away with him and Chili didn’t come back that night.  I waited at the door and waited.  Mom finally made me come upstairs at bedtime.  They kept telling me that Chili would be coming home the next day.  The next night, Dad brought Chili home, but he was different.  He was missing a leg.  Part of me wondered what he did wrong, because he’s their favorite, so what’s going to happen to me?!?  Mom assured me that nothing is going to happen to me, and that she doesn’t have favorites.  The first night, Chili slept downstairs because he couldn’t do stairs.  I insisted on sleeping down by him too, and Mom ended up sleeping downstairs with us as well.

It’s taken a little while, but Chili is getting back to his old self.  He runs in the back yard with me now.  He’s not as quick as he used to be, but he still gives it his best.  He even wrestles with me now, although he spends more time on his back then he used to when we would wrestle.  I still worry about him, and Mom says I’ve gone gray pretty quick in the past few months.  But he’s my brother and always will be.

We are good looking boys, aren't we?

  1. What a fabulous brother you are, Finchy! I wish I had a brother instead of a silly little sister.

    Your friend,

  3. Listen to your Mom, Finch, she sounds pretty wise. Embrace the new today, wrestling is wrestling, no matter where it happens.

  4. Wyatt, that’s the name he came with when my pawrents rescued from the family that left him outside on a tie out all year round. They tried to give him a different name, but he’s stubborn and refused to learn a new one.
