Happy VD Day everybody's! We are settling into our new place...our car problems threw a monkey wrench in getting to the place we thought we were going in time...and whoah, was momma worried about figuring out housing, but then we found a new place with an awesome balcony! We still need to set up a play date with Eric and Louie! (hi Eric! Hi Louie!!) But really our new digs rock. Walter is wearing the purple heart sticker on his head, which the coffee place lady gave him. Everyone here is super sweet to walter and nobody can believe we drove from minnesota through all this snow to get here...but here we are! one of the only freaking cities in the united states without snow! Walter's been thru so much, dang-nabbit - he deserves it. I can't get enough of watching him walk in his shoe, unencumbered by ice as he smells flowers and pees on other flowers simultaneously. We are almost up to pre-accident length walks now. Plus we sneak on the beach and put our toesies in the ocean!Walter loooves our new balcony. Note leafy palms and American flag waving poetically in the background...
Walter likes to squash his face up to the balcony holes and barkity-bark at passersbys...
more soon!!!!

Hey Heather and Walter. You guys are official Floridians now. Woot woot! We love the balcony. It's almost like those holes were cut just for Walter. Who knows, maybe they were...
Love,
Stella, Gunther and Betty
Oh looks so nice, and view holes in the balcony for Wally!!
happy valentine's day to you both.

we had no idea how much Gen loved to run on the beach till we took a trip to Lake Michigan....we are so glad you guys made it safe and sound. The picture of your house reminds mom of her trip to Key West...we hope you are enjoying the snow-free livin'. Watch out for over-indulging in Margarita's though.
Love.
Gen & the Foo

Happy Valentine's Day Heather & Walter!! Glad to hear that you made it to the sunshine state ok. Walter looks so content in those photos.
Wish we were there in the warmth with you - it's snowing again here in Indiana :(

Walter, Florida really agrees with you. Congrats to you and your mom for getting there and finding a great place to call home. You look amazing and we are all so happy to see your handsome, smiling puggy face. Enjoy the sunshine for us.

I have been following your blog, and Walter's story for some time now but have just gotten around to making a profile/blog. I just want to say how AMAZING you are, and we are rooting for Team Walter up here in NYC!!

That last picture is so awesome!!
I am glad you guys made it safe and I hope the car didn't clean out the budget :(
Yay long walkies!! I am so happy things are working out for you two!
Awe he is so freaking cute squishing his face through the holess!!!!!!!! We can just picture him enjoying the sun. Have fun!
So glad you are all settled! We knew you'd make it and find a great place. You deserve it!! After the journey you and Wally have been on in the last year, this most recent trip must have just been a small speed bump! When is Wally getting his speedo?? Gotta have the proper attire to lay out on the beach!

Just be sure that balcony is pug-proof, please. I'm sure you have already done that but never hurts to check it once again. Glad you and Walter are getting settled in. I know you are enjoying the sunshine. Sure feels good doesn't it?
I'm so glad you and Walter made it! Spent a wonderful year in the keys almost 30 years ago and still want to move back. Enjoy every moment. Loved your books, I bought them after Walter's accident and can't wait to read the next. Love to you and Walter!
Good Luck with your new place:) Hope you had a PUGTASTIC Valentine's day!!!

I'm glad you finally got there! And are getting settled in. It's nice to hear that Walter is liking his new digs! I can relate to the barking at people from the balcony. In the two weeks I had Rainy, she would put her paws up on the balcony ledge and bark at dogs being walked across the street, people walking by, anything that moved, apparently except the cars, trucks and buses (thankfully she didn't bark at them!). Florida did indeed have a little snow (there was one day last week that 49 of the 50 states had snow on the ground!), but it was in the panhandle. Enjoy the warmer weather!
Thanks for all your well wishes everybody. I get a little teary when I think about how far we've come, and you all helped us every step of the way!
Seeing Wally on that balcony, the beautiful sunshine.. I get all teary too, Heather!
You and Walter SO deserve this time together. So proud of you for deciding to do this.
