Caddy's Bucket List



You all know what a Bucket List is, maybe even some of you have them.  I do not have one of my own, but with recent health news on the Caddy front, I believe his bucket list would look something like this:
  1.  Long walks everyday, rain, snow or shine.
  2.  Play ball in the backyard with Bella until we are both ready to go indoors.
  3. Play in a pool of water.
  4.  Run free in my backyard, without a leash or a collar, just because I can.
  5. Extra hugs and kisses.  Daily.
  6. Take a ride in the car without a destination, just so I can stick my head out the window.
  7. Experience a "pup cup" from Starbucks, because my friend Gracie says they are rather yummy.
  8. Sleep on "my bed"--also known as the master bed--all day, without interruption.
  9. Celebrate my 7th Birthday this March with a doggie cake.
  10. Go for a walk on a nature trail so I can take in all the smells of the wild unknown.
Looks like #2 and #4 are already in the works, as we are having our fence completed, just for Caddy, sometime in the next week.  

And while you may think I am insane for creating a Bucket List for my dog, then so be it.  We are trying to make the most of what time it is we do have left with him, and I have found it is easier to focus on the positive day to day, rather then the end result.
