About Me

I'm a chocolate Labrador Retriever; I live outside of Boston and I'm an extremely happy dog. In March I was run over by a car but it was totally my fault. I dug my way under our fence and the story goes from there. My blog is my diary! I'm a survivor - and a writer! And I'd like you to be my friend.

If you read my blog, you and others will want to know the answer to the question:" Will Joey run again?"
