Grand Rapids

Guess who dad ran into on the sidewalk in downtown Grand Rapids?
 I wonder who the handsome Airedales are?     Dad didn't get any names.
 Guess what?
Our dad won a silver medal for free-style swimming and a bronze medal for breast stroke!  whooooooohooooooooo

This next picture is of our dad presenting his medal to donor moms, Barbara and Beth in memory of their sons.
Yup, that's our dad!
                                  *
 That's Patsy in the rowdy pants in the above photo.  She won a bronze medal in golf!  Congratulations, Patsy!  Good job!
Congratulations, dad!  We are so proud of you!

My limpies are improving.  No more sling under my chest to support my weight. I'm back to being on my leash.
 I'm checking for chippers.  I love putting my snooter on his entrance hole and snorting down his hallway.
 The doxy and tramadol are working miracles.  I feel so much better!
 So until next time..........

Love ya lots,
Mitch

    Congratulations on your medals, Dad! That's really fabulous.

    We've never seen an Airedale consent to be picked up like a baby before, so we know he has the super-special Airedale vibe!

    Great to see you up and about, Mitch. We had to laugh at you snorting in the hole - Mojo does that with mole holes in a super-loud super-snorty way. The mole probably thinks the apocalypse has come.
