What does contrary mean???
Hey all!
I have a question for all my furry friends – tripawd or not. Have you ever been called “contrary”? Just WHAT does that mean, anyway? My Mom said today on our walk, that I can be so contrary sometimes. She said it when, for the second time, I had sunk on the side of our trail cause the snow is getting very soft now with the warmer temperatures and that time I really got stuck…up to my belly and she had to help me out! Phew! Thank DoG she was there to help me but for some reason she called me ‘contrary’? I DO know that I tend to have a mind of my own at times!! Maybe that’s what she meant to say?? Cause I wasn’t listening to her when she kept telling me to stay on the trail or I was gonna sink? Pfffttt….anyways, me and Mom had a GREAT walk….”contrary” or not…cause she did tell me, that I was acting just like the Maggie she knows and loves! 🙂
Me and Mom also remembered that today marks my 5th month ampuversary! Holy cowdog! 😉 I have been getting quite a bit stronger in the past couple of weeks, cause at least in our yard where it’s plowed, the footing is GREAT for me now and I’ve been hanging outside now soaking in the sun and just getting more exercise on GOOD footing! What a relief to walk on something besides ice and snow! Been a long winter and it’s almost over…the snow is melting pretty good now.
Happy Spring everyone! I’m hoping it keeps on a meltin’ fast! Time for some nice green grass, birds to chase in the yard, soaking up the sunshine and going for walks that don’t involve sinking in the snow!!

Barney Visits Maggie in Maine!
First, a little history before I tell you of Barney’s adventures here in Maine with me….
Barney came from the ‘founding tripawd’ – Jerry. Jerry is now Spirit Jerry but the wonderous Tripawds community is still going strong and helping all those pawrents that struggle through amputation surgery, recovery and all that goes with having cancer as well. Jerry had a fettish for Barney stuffed toys…his pawrents would pick them up anywhere they saw them, as Jerry just loved that foolish purple dinosaur! So, one of Spirit Jerry’s Barney’s has gone on a Killbarney Tour(no, Mom wouldn’t let me kill him!!! argh!) – he came to Maine from Maggie the Pug in CA! I share a special bond with Maggie the Pug – obviously she has the same GREAT name as me but she is also a left rear amp tripawd! Maggie the Pug, sent along with Barney for his visit to Maine a coat! And man, did he ever need it 🙂 As it’s winter here in Maine!
Here’s me meeting Barney for the first time:
So, now, Barney’s Portage adventures with me come to and end and I guess he has to move on! Me and my Mom know where he’s headed next but I can’t tell 😉 You all will soon find out where Barney lands next!
