General Lee's Amazing Story!
General Lee
Update August 2018
Wow. Has it really been three years since I adopted my mom and dad? Time sure flies when you’re spoiled. Really. It has taken me a while to get them trained to keep me in the style to which I’m accustomed. They’re doing pretty good though.
Now that I’m a sexy senior citizen with a touch of arthritis, I get to take it easy a lot. A couple of nice walks and plenty of naps every day keep me in good shape. Not to say that I don’t show off my hot Boykin dance moves whenever I get the chance. I can put any hula girl to shame with my patented butt wiggle and Michael Jackson moonwalk. I do work hard every day making sure I know exactly where everybody is - people have this annoying habit of changing rooms and not telling me. It’s really a pain to go room to room trying to find them.
My other big job is to be dad’s wing man (or wing nut as he says) and go for lots of car rides. It’s my job to ride everywhere he goes and make sure he runs all the errands he’s supposed to.
One of the things about getting older is that the darned weather started to bother me - made me a bit squirrelly when the barometric pressure dropped with those nasty southern thunderstorms. Well. Mom and dad got me a cool set of ThunderShirt jammies. So, when it looks like the weather is bothering me, I get my jammies on and wiggle my tail the whole time; it feels soooo good when I have it on. Then I can go right to sleep.
All in all, it’s been a darned good time and I’m looking forward to my next adventures.
Time to get back to work ….zzzzzzzzz.

Happiness is a new toy and a comfy bed with a smooshy comforter.
Since his back surgery last summer and having some teeth extracted in December, General Lee has been really happy, going for car rides at any chance he gets, snuffling on walks in the woods and, in general, being just a silly wiggly Boykin.
Life is good.
