Red Dot Indian

My mommy was cutting beets on the counter and I like to look up at her because she's very clumsy and she drops lots of things on the ground. When it drops, I get to eat it. She often says, "Oops!" so I know that word means "Food dropped on the ground."

Today, a little piece fell and landed on my head and she said that I looked like an "Indian" with a red dot on my forehead. I don't know what that means, but I couldn't eat my dot off of my head so I was sad.

Better Energy

So I feel much better now since all of my various tumors have been removed and I've healed from the surgeries. My mommy's sister practices Reiki so she's been giving me reiki. Last week, she stopped by, and she personally gave me reiki and she said that my energy is much better. I got to lay down and be quiet while she was giving me reiki.

My mommy's been giving me home cooked meals with fresh veggies including spinach, brussel sprouts, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, and celery, with chicken breast or salmon. I also get cottage cheese with flaxseed oil (mixed into a quark because I got diarrhea if it's just plain), fish oil, and some vitamins.

Right now, I have all my energy back and people still tell me what a pretty puppy I am! Here I am showing my mommy where my grain free treats are located - it's on top of this magic counter!

Peg Leg No More

My peg leg was taken off and I got to see my stitches. There's 3 little stitches and they don't hurt me too much. I was told not to lick it so I will try not to. I'm no longer a peg leg pirate no mo. At first, I was skidding around because it felt different without my peg leg, but I remembered how to walk on my own four feet so I'm almost back to normal.

 
UPDATE: I was very bad and I took out 2 of the 3 stitches by myself. It itched so while my mommy was downstairs, I hid and ate 2 stitches. It was very yummy. Luckily, today was Day 7, so it was mostly healed so my vet said that it was ok.
At the office, she took out the last stitch using some sort of a cutting implement, but my teeth was faster and more effective.I could have done it myself at home!

New Year's Eve is Scary

On New Year's Eve, somebody in the neighborhood did some fireworks and it was very loud and scared me. I don't know why, but I was having what my mommy called "an anxiety attack." I shivered and panted from midnight unil 4 am and I could not stop. My mommy put me in her bed and I got to sleep next to her, but I was still shivering and scared. The next morning, I woke up and I felt much better. I don't like fireworks anymore.

Surgery #2

I was doing much better for 2 months until my mommy found 2 more bumps on my body on Christmas Day. She took me to the vet and he said one bump was ok but another one on my left paw had to be taken out. So, I got it taken out on Wednesday.

After they were done, they wrapped up my paw and I look like a pirate with a peg leg.  Arrgghhh Matey!

On Wednesday I was really tired and woozy. On Thursday, I was back to normal and I didn't know why mommy wouldn't let me run around and go for a walk.

Today (Friday), I had some diarrhea. I had an accident early this morning, and my tummy is rumbling. My mommy gave me some yogurt, cottage cheese, boiled chicken breast and Slippery Elm. I hope I don't have diarrhea anymore because I don't get to eat as much and that's my favorite thing in the world.



I've been really good and I don't bother with my bandage so I haven't had to wear my cone. I hate that thing so I'm trying to stay good to be cone free.

A Lost Friend

My mommy went shopping this morning and she came back 5 minutes later with a new dog! She said that the dog was running across the street near the park and it didn't have a collar on. I wonder why it didn't have a collar because I love my blue collar since it makes jingling noises when I walk!

The dog was a girl and it growled at me when it came into MY house! I sniffed at it, but I got kind of jealous because my mommy was holding the new dog and not me :( The dog kept growling at me and it didn't want to play with me. My mommy put the dog into the gated area and it started drinking MY water! My mommy couldn't locate the owner and she said that she went down the block near the school knocking on each door and showing the picture of the lost dog. She had to finally call Animal Control because it had no tags and we were going to    grandma's house tonight to spend the night.

The nice man who looked like a police man came and took the lost dog away. I hope that it has a microchip so they can call the owner. I would hate to be lost like her. I nicknamed her Growling Meanie because it kept growling at me and taking my stuff. It would growl at me every time I walked by her and she was sleeping on MY soft rug! I'm glad to be my mommy's only baby again.

After Surgery Day 22

On Thursday, my grammy took me for a walk at night and while walking, I saw something on the ground so I ate it while nobody was looking. When I got home, my tummy hurt so I threw up. Out came the thing that I had eaten and my mommy called it a huge peach pit. I ate my dinner, but I didn't feel well so I threw up again. I then continued to throw up all night and my mommy used up 2 rolls of paper towels to clean up all of my throw ups. My mommy thought I was going to die and I felt like it too.

By 1 am, my mommy said that if I thew up one more time, she was going to take me to the ER. I didn't want to go there and I was really tired, so I tried to not throw up anymore. I fell asleep but I woke up every hour and made some funny noises.

I woke up at 7 am and miraculously my tummy didn't hurt anymore. I was really hungry so when my mommy woke up, I happily greeted her and told her that I was hungry. She didn't feed me breakfast because we had to go see my vet again, so I was sad. I've been there at least once a week for the past month now. When I got there, I howled from the parking lot to let them know that I had arrived. The vet gave me some shots because I was dehydrated, but she said that I could eat again, so I was very happy.

I've learned my lesson and I promise not to each peach pits again.
