Menudo the 3 Legged Dog Update: Never Give Up & Love Lots!
| Menudo came through surgery with flying colors! Thanks for all the thoughts, prayers, tweets and emails!
He’s still in the hospital, hooked up to an IV and very, very groggy with his silly astronaut helmet on… He’ll be there for several days so he moves as little as possible and his wound (which is pretty darn big) can heal. He was so happy to see me and I just rested with him a while, letting him lick my nose from time to time. Menudo has been my constant companion for the last 10 years, seeing me through many ups and downs and always ready with his unconditional love and philosophical nature… |
 |
Some important things Menudo has taught me:
* It’s nice to give love unconditionally without expectation for what you may or may not get in return.
* Sometime you just want to be alone. (Menudo always lets me know when he needs his “Me Time”.)
* Focus on the present because it’s the only thing I can choose to create in.
* Even if you’re small, you can have a great big courageous heart.
* Forgive easily. (which he does even when I forget to be a good mommy)
* Never give up.
* Be happy.
* Love lots.
And as always, though this isn’t a business related topic, I’d love to hear your comments below!
Love, Maritza (& Menudo)

I can so relate. I have two canine companions, who have also been with me through many life times. Mackie is 13, and my “Grandpa”. He’s a cool grumpy, old fart, who has loved me and stood by me unconditionally. Spencer is 8, both schnauzers.
I always say about my boys, I wish I had there life!
Thank you for sharing your experience and lessons. I hope someday to meet him, and see him “rockit on 3”.
Much Love, YF

Probrecito, Menudo….
Ouch. You’ve got a good Mama, she’ll take care of you very well.
I don;t like being ill. I go off by myself ’cause I don’t want to share the bad stuff. I’ll have to get over it someday.

Ain’t nuthin’ gonna stop that little guy…
Maritza: Thank you so much for sharing the experience with your wonderful puppy Menudo. He is beautiful and he has such a kind expression in his eyes. I am sure he has the heart to get over “a little inconvenience” and create with your help and that of your family a whole new lifestyle as happy and rewarding as the previous one.
I see that the great lessons that you share with all of us are a real part of your daily life.
You can be sure that this will help me be more aware of my mindset and what I focus on as well as being grateful for everyday blessings.
Hugs, Angela
Aww…Maritza – he’s adorable and so sweet. It’s so wonderful to have your heart open to the joy, wonder and unconditional love that animals can give us and teach us! My big dog just had a medical emergency with his back leg, too – he’s been crippled for a long time (arthritis, hip dysplasia) and he popped a piece of bone off of it the other day. It was so hard to see him suffering, but, he is as good as gold now. Gave him some meds and some healing time (no stairs, etc) and he’s doing great! He only uses that leg for balance – it can’t hold any weight.
I wish I still lived in Texas (I’m from Dallas) I’d come down and visit you – I know we’d get along FABulously, with our love of creatures big and small! (I love horses, too!)
It was awesome, though, meeting you at NAMS2!
Sweet puppy kisses to Menudo!!!
Glad things went well with Menudo. Give him a couple of days and LOOK OUT!

Hi Maritza,
I too love animals and my dog is my best friend. I can see your love and caring mom to Menudo. He is so cute. I have a 10 year old too and she is sweet as sugar with a sprained foot possibly chasing the rabbits–her favorite job she believes when outside during daytime.
Kisses to Menudo from my dog Molly and myself! Give yourself a big hug from all of us as a great mom to your doggie, horses and whatever I missed here.
Hugs,
