Quimby has gotten big, and he loves to tear down bamboo.

Family Reunion

Pog — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 12:45:11 +0000

This is Samson (the 3rd one we’ve seen, but hey it’s an awesome name). Samson is Quimby’s brother!!! It had been nearly a year since they had seen each other, but after a few minutes they seemed to remember. I took a bazillion photos of them playing, they are so similar and so different at the same time. It was a truly awesome experience, his owners are really nice and have a great home for him. He has a huge lawn to play in, and gets to get outside a lot! Much more to come this week, but here’s a general vibe of what happaned:

You can tell that Quimby was bigger. He probably had close to 20lbs on his brother, but interestingly enough Samson dislpayed more dominant behavior. Apparently Samson’s comfort zone is at home, wheras Quimby seems to find comfort everywhere, with everyone. I will post more similarities / differences tomorrow.

Quimby Raffle Final Count

So, I wanted to post a final donation amount on the Quimby’s raffle! All in all I would say it was a complete success. I managed to solicit around $650 in donations/raffle ticket sales. The winner of the Patriots tickets could not make it to the game, so I was instructed to sell the tickets. I managed to sell them for $150 the day before the game (just under face). This brings the total amount raised to a shocking $800! While this did not cover the cost of his entire surgery, it covered about 75% of it! The rest we were able to afford ourselves.

Of course, I can not thank you all enough. Quimby doesn’t really understand why he can’t be outside playing, but in a month he will be back and hopefully better than ever!

Pog and Dog photos are going to officially start back up in the new year. Until then, I’m going to go a little photoshop crazy.

Not a Pog,

Recovery Day 2 & 3

Things I learned this weekend:

-Carrying a 55 lb dog is not like carrying a 55 lb weight. Weights don’t generally move around and try to run off when you try to pick them up.

-Whatever pain killer Quimby is taking must be really good, cause half a dose knocks him out for hours. He will most likely need more of this, and that is unfortunate, considering a dose costs around $10.

-Quimby wants to play- and will jump onto the couch and play with the cats if you turn your back on him for 3 seconds.

-I need to go for a run before I explode. I can’t imagine how Quimby must be feeling. He probably wants to run more than I do. It saddens me that I can’t take him with me, but I gotta get back on the pavement.

-I am more tired than I should be considering I stayed in all weekend.

Still accepting donations for Quimby! The big day is going to be tomorrow!
