Flashback

T minus 5 days until (paws crossed) I get the "all clear" from the doctor who did my surgery. I'm ready to go, but Mom freaks when I try to run :(

This picture is from when I was a puppy. That's my favorite position to sleep in.

Ready for my close up!

Mom got a new battery for her camera...which means MORE pictures of me. Seriously woman!

Home Sweet Home

I've been spending some alone time in my crate lately. When I had to wear the cone, I couldn't fit, so now I can chill in MY house.

Blech...

I ate a bad treat on Saturday (I heard Mom scream and say something about maggots??) and didn't feel good - at all! I couldn't get comfortable and even Mom couldn't get me to relax. She tried giving me kisses and a belly rub, but I found a spot behind the couch and hid.

I didn't even sleep in my usual spot on the bed - I hid under the bed all night. It was horrible. When Mom got up, I fell asleep on her lap and slept most of the day. Today I feel better.

Harrumph...

I'm feeling good. Last night I ate a bone in 5 minutes...lickety split! Then I jumped up on the chair to sit next to my Mom and got in trouble.

This morning we went outside for a little while. I barked at a big dog. I was pretty excited to start my day, so I started skipping when we got off the elevator. Mom pulled on the leash to stop me. I skipped again...stopped by that darn leash...and again. I gave my Mom "the look", but she won.

This time.

Post-Op Love

My Uncle Mark came to visit me yesterday. He gives the best belly rubs in the world. I haven't seen him in a while and gave him lots of kisses!

I don't like loud noises.

This weekend is the Air and Water Show. Big, loud, scary planes will be flying over our house all weekend. I will be spending most if this time in the bathroom or my Mom's closet trying to sleep.

Slow Down

Sigh. My Mom says I have two speeds: fast and asleep.

I was so excited yesterday not having my cone on and getting to go outside twice that I went a bit too fast (even made my Mom chase me around the coffee table). By the end of the night I was limping a little - this morning too. I guess I have to take it easy...for three more weeks!

It isn't going to be easy.

Cone Free!!

And it feels soooooo good.

I went for a cab ride last night to visit my Tio Krenly and got to stick my head out of the window. OMG - all of the smells! I couldn't sniff fast enough.

And this morning I met a 9-week-old puppy and got to appropriately sniff his butt. It's a good day.

Good Girl

I've been being a very good girl. My Mom says I might not have to wear my cone anymore.

Success!!

Oops!

After my haircut I started licking my leg.

What is that? They left one staple in my leg. Oh no! That means, not only do I have to wear that stupid cone again, but I have to go back to the doctor. NO!!!!!!

We went to my vet this morning. Tio Krenly drove us today. And, they (people!) decided since I was already there, to give me all my shots.

I don't like Saturday.

Naked.

Pile -o-hair

That used to be me.

Shave and a haircut...

The nurse said I couldn't get groomed for another 4 weeks!! (Is that long?) Mom thinks I'm too mangy (not sure what that means, but it doesn't sound cute) to wait that long, so Uncle Josh said he had clippers...








So...


they...


shaved...


me!

D Day

D is for doctor. I got my staples out!! And it didn't even hurt.

Uncle Josh drove us (thanks Uncle Josh!) and I gave him lots of kisses, but it seems every time I go for a ride with him I end up at the hospital. Hmm...

Today

I go to the doctor today to get my staples out. I hope it doesn't hurt much.

Deconing Countdown

I get my staples out tomorrow!!! I hope it doesn't hurt. I hope that means no more cone too. I've kind of gotten used to it, but think I hurt my Mom trying to give her kisses with it on this morning.

I can't wait to lick stuff.

Headgear

I'm trying to think of my new hat as an accessory. Don't I look cute? (My Uncle Paul took this picture. He thinks I'm cute.)

Really, I'm kind of tired of wearing it. I run into furniture and knock over my bowl of water. I can't even lick my leg - which is driving me crazy! I get my staples out on Friday (I hope that's soon), then may get rid of the cone too!

A girl can dream...
