The Dreaded Diaper

So, you know how I was wearing those diapers on my leg?  I didn't tell Mom something pretty important.  I ate one, and I let my siblings take the blame.  Except... Mom is too vigilant, and she figured it out this morning. I went outside this morning, and Mom was watching because of the medicine …

Out And About

Good morning everyone!  I am happy to report I'm having one of the best days ever today! Let me tell you about yesterday.  I was too tired to fill you in last night. So Mom and I left and stopped at Orschelns to see if they carried the variety of Merrick's food she wants me …

Freedom!

I know I'm supposed to be here every day telling you this and that, per Mom, but... I haven't had anything to say, really. I'm doing really well, all things considered.  I get up and move just fine.  I am on three and a half days of no medication at all, and longer without pain …

Home Sweet Home

I am home.  I am a tripod.  I hurt, and I am sleepy.  I have my couch back, and I have NO CONE.  That is all. Goodnight... What, Mom?  Really?  She says that's not good enough.  That I have to provide details because a lot of people are nervous about their dog's first day home, …

One Day Left!

So the house is pretty busy this week.  Mom and the boys have been doing a lot of reorganizing and cleaning.  They keep telling me it's for me... but...I really don't need all this stuff.  Things are pretty kosher with me, all things considered.  I get to sleep all day, nobody bugs me.  Though if …

Just Gross

Warning... this is ugly. So for anybody who wanted a closer look, this is what I'm dealing with.  And this picture doesn't show the worst of it.  Mom tries to keep it covered, and a diaper used to work quite well.  But I now have some swelling (from the drainage) above my "elbow", which makes …

Not Feeling So Well

My lump ruptured with another hole.  This one is high up, near my armpit, and could possibly be related to the bandage I have to keep on.  But the drainage requires the bandage, or I'd have to stay off everything but the wood floor... and I love my couch, and I like the new rugs …

Three-Legged Dog

Mom was watching some post-op videos on amputees this morning.  She came across this one, and showed it to me.  She said it reminds her of me a little bit--this is way too much energy for me to put forth on anything.  Fetch is for Labs, and that goofy border collie-Yorkie brother of mine, Chance.  …

Rugs!

   Look at my new bed! My house has hardwood floors that are really old.  Mom said when she moved in, the kitchen--which is where we go in and out--was in white carpet, and the other room the boys use had lime(ish) green.  Mom said after a year or two of shampooing carpets every time …

Truck Ride!

I haven't been in the truck since early summer because of the weather and the air-conditioning.  So when Mom said, "Daisy, let's go!" I came running. I smacked into everything on the way out--this cone is really a pain in the tail-- but the truck! Oh, the truck!  I love the truck. We drove to …
