To the outside observer, I look like a dog. I have a tail, four legs and I bark but my soul is that of a King. I was a therapy dog..and made people talk...I could sense their needs and my calm demeanour and soulful eyes calmed many a furtive spirit.
I adopted my mother Karine and love her dearly. In fact, she went away on a bike trip and I appeared to her in a dream telling her I was not well and in trouble.
I am in trouble. I have cancer on my paw and it is virulent and aggressive. When she came home, it had exploded to the point where it was pushing against all my wrist joints I was in agony. It has been scraped clean and I am on antibiotics but it will come back.
I have the heart of a lion and the soul of a King...I see where others do not see and feel what they cannot feel...and yet I am afraid that my days of treading the soft grass in my backyard are drawing to a close.
My mother has cancelled an overnight bike ride for a charity because she knows I need her. Just to be close and just to be near her is what I need..to be surrounded by love.
To the outside observer, with an untrained eye, I look like a dog but I am Bubba.

LUNA in June
Hi...well I came to Wingate on January 1st, a pretty terrified little dog. Now it is mid June and let me tell you...
I dance with joy, I spin, I jump...I play with my toys. I love walks and homemade food and I sleep on the bed with Bubba, Karine and Cyril.
I have developed a very sunny and exuberant personality...and man can I bark! I can bark with the best of them!
In the morning after breakfast and apples, I get some toast and then a walk. I love walks...and I have become an expert off leash walker as well as an expert in running. I can keep pace with my mother, slow or medium..when I really run though, really she cant keep up with me.
My health problems are finally over. I had ear infections, an eye problem and mange..but that is all in the past. I have a regular groomer, favourite foods, loads of toys and LOVE to cuddle.
I am a very snuggly little dog!

Luna march 11th
Here I am, I have come SUCH a long way. Every morning I dash madly to my toy box and play with my toys..I have a lot of them...I shake them...toss them. If I am bored, I will steal socks..that always gets a reaction. After a great hot breakfast, I have a short nap then it is off on a walk. After my walk another nap and then school. I have learned a lot and am REALLY good at recall when I am off leash.
Here are a list of my favourite things...I know Christmas is a long time away but...
1) Hot meals of potato and fish and various vegetables of the day
2) Treats all kinds, but especially duck
3) Hard rubber balls
4) soft plush toys that I can shake
5) Chew toys
6) Jackets..I love my warm winter parka..I have spring wear as well and I look great in yellow
My personality was shy but I am anything but shy. I am bouncy, bubbly and have a lot of confidence.My demodex is FINALLY getting under control and the infection in my feet is a thing of the past. My ears are healed and my teeth are gleaming white and very sharp! I may be small but....
At night, when I am called to bed, I run to bed and jump in my bed. I am then covered up in my own little blanket..my bed has some plush high sides and I go to sleep.
I walk beautifully beside Karine...like I am a show dog. Life is good

Luna 2 months later
It has been two months since I arrived at 854 Wingate Drive. I have a trunkload of toys, an uber warm red parka, wool sweater, casual coat, boots, my own dishes and I love to play with my toys. I pick up my toys, shake them and carry them around. I also love playing outside on and off leash! I love to dash in the snow and meet other dogs and people...I wake up Karine in the morning and find life a joy. I have changed so much!
The only problem I have is demodex, which is a mite. You all have it, but I was run down so it took over my feet. I am being treated for that, My ears are nicely cleared and my teeth are now gleaming. I guess I could not expect to come out of that sewer unscathed!
I have learned, sit, come, stay, come close and up. For some reason, I just don't do down! I think I will try the say hello command or maybe the wave command, not too sure. I have the basics, I am not stressed.
Today I had lentils and chicken hearts for dinner, man that was good! The horrible people who had me in a cage are going before a judge on March 13th, I know my mother will be there protesting and I will add an arf arf...to the cause! Paws R Us was an evil evil place.
I still wear my bark medallion but I no longer see myself as a puppy mill dog. I am not shy anymore, I have stolen slippers, gloves, hats,,pens, keys, treats..pencils and even an envelope. I take them and dash with them, my favourite are a pair of blue polartec slippers! At night, I am wrapped in a blanket and sleep.
Today I went to a dog park. Bubba had to leave early because his wrist was bothering him but I went back, ran up hills, dashed in the snow, met other dogs and ran full speed..and I mean full speed. Lots of fun..some dogs at the end started to bark and we decided to go home. I slept and slept as I was wrapped up on the couch in a soft cozy grey blanket.
Not sure what tomorrow will bring,

Luna Progress note
Hello fans, Luna here. It has been almost two months in my forever home. I am not the same dog, I run everywhere, I am perfect off leash and on leash. I wag my little tail, have a great appetite and love to play. In short, I have pretty well fully recovered emotionally from that hell hole of a place I came from.
Physically, I have demodex mites on my feet. It sounds scarier than it is, but it will affect my nail beds and so I am being treated for that. My other problems like my ear infection and teeth problems have all been resolved. You know, puppy mills, I have said this before, have to be outlawed period. How can anyone look after 600 dogs? We are not things, we are living breathing creatures of Gods who need to play, to run and to be loved.
I have learned a few tricks already...and was taught how to kiss. Yeppers, I am really liking my new life. I worry about Bubba, it seems as I wax, he wanes. I wish I could do more for him because he has been so kind and welcoming for me. He is a very special soul.
On the play front, I have a lot of toys and steal items to make new toys...when I am brushed, my brush is game, I walk off with pencils, gloves, socks...and a toothbrush. They are always retreived because I put my booty in the middle of the livingroom floor. Maybe that is not so smart. I have heard pirates used to bury their treasure...in truth I tried digging today to bury the grooming brush...but I think pirates never buried stuff in the livingroom.

Bubba is getting older
Hello folks. You know winter is not easy for me. I have tendonitis and it is hard for me to walk. Today I went to a dog park and with the snow and ice, I just cut it short. SO not like me. I am going to go back on my pain medications to see if they help again. What a drag! Aging sucks!
