Mojo’s stitches are out! He still has to keep his “cone of shame” on for a few more days.  We went for a walk around the lake today and although it tuckered him out, it was like he never lost his leg. People who met him commented on how amazed they were that his surgery […]

Mojo is doing much better…his mobility is pretty much where I expected it. He’s running around like a champ. Today he is scheduled to get his stitches out, but somehow he’s been able to reach his wound area with his tongue and he’s been going to town when I’ve been asleep. His appointment is at […]

Mojo had a better day today, although he did not want to move at all.  He was content with sleeping, however, he was pretty uncomfortable and decided to sleep while sitting up.  I felt bad for him, but it was pretty funny. I tried neosporin and that seemed to help with his itching.  His appetite […]

Mojo is doing better today.  We went into the office and he was ok for the morning but really started feeling pain in the afternoon.  We had to head back home to finish up work there…and Mojo slept for the better part of the day.  It’s just that when he moves he’s in pain.  Right […]

Today’s been a good and bad day, which I’m sure you’ll have. Mojo finally eliminated solids this morning. I was lucky enough to be able to work from home (my workplace is awesome) and thank goodness because Mojo and I didn’t really sleep all that well. We were up at 2 a.m., 5 a.m., 6 […]

Have you ever hoped for something during a time of tragedy?  Have you ever expected the worst during a trial in your life…and hoped for the best, but preparing for the worst?  That’s Mojo.  He’s the hope and the triumph of spirits in the face of adversity.  That’s his definition…I think, ultimately, this is what […]

Mojo is home and is amazing.  Amazing! I picked him up from the vet and the entire staff came over to me to compliment me on what a kind and loving dog he is!  They could not say enough good things about him.  He is doing amazingly well and although his spirit is a little […]

“Dogs lives are short, too short, but you know that going in. You know the pain is coming, you’re going to lose a dog, and there’s going to be great anguish, so you live fully in the moment with her, never fail to share her joy or delight in the…innocence, because you can’t support the […]

Mojo made it through the night.  X-Rays determined that his femur on his right hind leg was shattered at the hip.  The emergency vet advised me that surgery was an option but was not guaranteed.  The leg was badly damaged and surgery to repair it was too costly.  It was heartbreaking to hear the news.  […]

Mojo’s Story Mojo is a 7-year old Brittany Spaniel / Retriever mix.  He was rescued from Action for Animals in 2006.  I had looked for many times for the right dog for me…often making several trips to the shelter.  On the day that I found Mojo,  I went to the shelter and I was presented […]
