Boo Boo Day!

We have a lot of pet names for Bruiser. Big B, Doodle, Poopy, Bubba, etc. But the one that we seem to use most often is Boo Boo (Boo for short). So when thinking of an appropriate name for today (January 27^th), we chose Boo Boo Day.

You may be wondering why we are thinking of names for today. Well, let me tell you. Today is not just any ordinary day. No sirree, today is the date of Bruiser’s last chemotherapy session! Therefore, we now pronounce January 27^th as Boo Boo Day! Boo Boo Day is an entire day devoted to Bruiser and his well being and the celebration of his life.

Boo Boo Day started out with a nice long cuddle session in bed (Boo is an amazing cuddler), followed by a yummy breakfast. After breakfast, we (meaning myself, Bruiser and Bruiser’s daddy) loaded up in the car and drove to the vet’s. Bruiser is treated like royalty at the vet’s office and is always greeted with lots of love and lots of treats. He then proceeded to have his chemotherapy treatment (while eating even more treats) and then said goodbye to go home and continue the celebration of this glorious day.

Bruiser, knowing that Boo Boo Day is a nationally recognized holiday, decided it was best to go home as opposed to bar hopping as all the businesses are closed today in observance of Boo Boo Day.

Upon our arrival home, Bruiser decided to partake in his favorite activity: nap time! The entire family joined in the festivities as we are all to do as Boo Boo does on Boo Boo Day.

After nap time, Bruiser received a special new toy; a really big Nylabone! This is the first of three toys his majesty shall receive on Boo Boo Day. After a few chews on the bone, it was time for a bath. This was his first bath as a tripawd and he did really well! Now he is all clean and smooth and soft!

After all of that exertion, Bruiser decided it was nap time again. I did not nap as I was too busy cleaning up the bathroom after bath time. As I write this blog entry, Boo Boo is laying on the couch (while I am sitting on the floor, mind you) snoring away.

Boo Boo Day is far from over! There is still lots of fun to be had. We have 2 more toys for him to receive and a special dinner in store. We wish you all have a safe and happy Boo Boo Day!!
