Readers of this blog have been patient and receptive to my tales about Toby the Puppy, the pooch who was a key family member for nine years.<\/p>\n

I lost him to cancer on Dec. 1, 2023, an event that continues to fill me with sadness.<\/p>\n

However, upon returning from vacation September, I had the good fortune to meet another Chihuahua mix puppy named Sabol. We fell in love with each other immediately. She joined the family and — as God is my witness — she has exhibited many of the traits that endeared me to Toby.<\/p>\n

Sabol is smart. She is so very affectionate. She is a road warrior in the pickup. When it’s bedtime, she responds to the words “It’s bedtime” by running straight to her bed.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Whereas Toby never got overweight, Sabol joined us with a pudgy midriff. I have put her on a strict meal regimen: A half-cup of kibble and half a Milk Bone in the morning; another half-cup of food and the other Milk Bone half in the afternoon. The result of her eating plan is quite encouraging: she has lost four pounds since September. <\/em>Sabol has a way to go but she is making exceptional progress. What’s more she has developed a lively spring in her step.<\/p>\n

That’s the latest about my new pooch. I will close with this declaration:\u00a0I must be the luckiest puppy parent imaginable, having hit home runs with two puppies in a row.<\/p>\n\n
