About me: My name is Bradley "The Super Dog," a.k.a. "The Head," "Diaper Dog" and "Stink Boy." I hear the third nickname has something to do with the second nickname. One of my many Moms found me at a shelter. I was there for a long time because I couldn't walk or stand. Being a "Super Dog," I have the ability to read upside down and I noticed the letters "PTS" written across my chart. Naturally, I thought it meant "Post Traumatic Stress" from the accident that damaged my spinal cord, but the Beagle in the cage next to me said it meant "Put To Sleep." At first, that sounded like fun since I didn't get much sleep on that cement floor for all of those weeks, and the front of my body was always cold (can't feel the back part). Then the cocker spaniel across the aisle told me that it meant "Put to Death." That scared me because even in the shelter on the cold cement I was still happy and had lots of fun. Obviously, I am still alive thanks to Bichons and Buddies Rescue. The first year was really hard. I had major surgery and had to be confined to a small box. My Moms carried me and my box everywhere they went. I was a little embarrassed by my diaper and the big scar on my back at first, but after a while I forgot all about it. Everybody pitched in to buy me a turbo scooter, and now I'm a star on Sunset Boulevard. I'm told that I'm the fastest diapered dog on wheels in Hollywood. I don't like to brag, but the un-diapered and un-wheeled dogs usually eat my dust too. Now that I feel better, I'm helping Bichons And Buddies raise funds to help other dogs in Shelters like myself. Bichons and Buddies Rescue saves dozens of healthy dogs every month, but unlike some rescue organizations, they never turn away the "Super Dogs" who are injured and broken like I was, just because they are too much trouble or too expensive. They believe that all dogs deserve a fighting chance to have a happy home. So, being the "Spokes Dog" for Bichons and Buddies, I'd like to say that we appreciate all contributions large and small, and that 100% of your tax deductible donation goes to help me and my friends. It costs my Mom over $100.00 a month just for diapers and boy pads for me, and our ongoing rescue, rehabilitation costs and Vet Bills for my friends are astronomical because we are all given the best of care which isn't cheap. If you can help me & my Moms help my friends who are still alone and afraid and in pain, please go to the Bichons and Buddies Website at:www.bichonsandbuddies.com to make a tax deductible donation. Make sure you tell Jeanine that Bradley "The Super Dog" sent you. Gotta go play with my ducks. Love, Bradley "The Super Dog". (a.k.a. stink boy)

Hi BRADLEY, Well guess what? I went out & played horseshoes with my person sister Olivia & I won. After that nana took me for a drive. Did you get a really short haircut? Do you go to the groomers?

Hi BRADLEY, How are you doing? I think I forgot to tell you the last time that we had a tornado run through here but missed us. It did knock 4,18 wheelers on their sides while they were on a bridge. Lucky no one was hurt. My nana is home for four days so I hope we'll do something. Have a great Sunday, Love Monty

Hi BRADLEY, How's it going? Well it was another hot day here so I stayed in most of the day because my Dr doesn't want me out in the humidity in case it sets off my breathing problem. Went to the vet on Wednesday for my physical & shots so I haven't felt like myself. I've been doing lots of sleeping but now I seem ok. Well hope you have a great week, Love Monty
Thanks for being our friend! We're looking forward to getting to know you! I (Pollyanna) am half Bichon, so my family & I were so so happy to hear about your Bichon Rescue Group! Mommy got all watery-eyed when she read your story. What a wonderful thing that you're still in the world & didn't get PTS like the card said!
Your Mommy is so thoughtful Bradley! I would love to see you and your shiny new scooter! The dogs in NYC would be so jealous. They have to use all fours to explore a grassless, urinated covered world (which I suppose is bliss to some). XOXOXO
Oh Bwadwey....you are such a handsome, cute boy, and I is so inspired by you and whatchoo hab been troo! Tank yoo so much fo acceptin me as ya new fwend! I sendjoo much wub. And I sendin wub to ah dose who wuv and care fo yoo, and doggies wike yoo.
