About a week ago, Mommy found some owies on my back. She and Daddy thought I had just scratched myself. So she cleaned them up, put some bandage spray on them, and made me wear a t-shirt. I thought I was getting better, but it hurt a lot every time she put bandage spray on it, and I had to cry. But this morning, she found a big bald spot on my back. My owies were now very very big.
So she called the vet (I HATE THOSE PEOPLES!!!) and they said to bring me right in. So Mommy and I got in the car (I love car rides, cars are fun) and Mommy got lost- we did not get out of the car at Timmy’s house?!?! I really don’t like it when she gets lost. She shouldn’t do that- we should only visit my friends.
We go into the vet, and I start crying, and I don’t want them to touch me. But Mommy puts me down anyway. (She’s so mean!) The doctor says that they have to give me nice meds, because I’m being so grumpy. Then they tell Mommy that I have an infection and they have to shave me and clean it out, and give me a very big shot of antibiotics.
Then Mommy left me alone. I don’t really know why she left me alone. But when I woke up, Mommy was standing in front of this really weird cage and trying to get me out! Daddy even came with to pick me up. I was really lucky. They brought me home, and it was so fun! Everything is very exciting, and I fall off of things, and I have to eat a lot and give lots of kisses. It makes Mommy and Daddy laugh a lot. They think I’m cute. So I’m talking to them and telling them lots of stories. They like it when I tell them stories.

This is what the world looks like to me right now.

This is my owie. It hurts.

This is me. On meds. I’m fun like this!

I like to help Mommy on laundry day. I’m a good helper. I hold things down for her, and I make sure that she trips a lot over me. So without further ado, here are pictures of me helping. (Sorry they’re blurry, Mommy’s phone isn’t very good.) As you can see, first I hopped into the Laundry baskets.

Then I hopped into the tub, and I was playing with the drain plug. It was very exciting!!!

Then I got tired and I had to take a nap. In the piles of clean laundry. Because I know Mommy and Daddy just LOVE my fur all over their clothes!!




I’m going to go finish my nap now.
Kisses!

Yesterday was a very scary day. Mommy got up EARLY in the morning (she never does that) and gave me snuggles. Then we went on a car ride. I like cars. But then she took a wrong turn. We went to the doctor. I shook and cried, but she took me in anyway. Then to make it even worse, they took me away from her! They put me in a kennel in the back for a very long time. There were dogs barking, and kitties crying, and weird smells and it was scary!!! Then they took me out and shaved one of my legs and put something in it. It hurt, so I kicked it out. Then they shaved one of my front legs. I started waving and crying because I wanted Mommy. They said I was being difficult. So they shaved my other front leg and put something in there that made me feel really tired and yucky. Then they cleaned my teeth (or so Mommy tells me). Then they put me back in that kennel. I don’t like kennels. They gave me more medicine, it made me see things. It was scary. Then Mommy and Daddy came to pick me up. Daddy NEVER comes to the doctor! I must have been really lucky. (or bad depending on which way you look at it) I sat on Mommy’s lap the whole way home. She didn’t know why I was scared. They had only told her that I would be sleepy. I was scared of the lights and of moving. We went upstairs, and Mommy let me out. I got REALLY scared. I ran into things and I fell on my butt. People made noises and I fell on my butt. I couldn’t walk straight, and I didn’t know who Mommy and Daddy were. So Mommy called the doctor. Then they put me into the bathroom with my pan, my food, my bed, and my favorite toys. I calmed down. It was dark. Soon Daddy came to let me out. Mommy said that I had eaten a lot. I liked my food. I ate two whole cans! I’m going to be a big boy. Then I went and snuggled with Mommy and Daddy on the couch. We watched TV together. I fell asleep.
I’m feeling much better now.

Today Mommy put me in the car. I love taking car rides! Usually we go to visit Grandma and Grandpa and my favorite best friend Timmy. But today, we took a wrong turn. I think Mommy got lost. We went to the VET!!!! I HATE THE VET!!!!! I snuggled up really close to Mommy when she took me out of the car, maybe she was still lost? But then, we went inside. They checked me all over. They say it’s hard to hear my heartbeat and hear me breathing because I growl so much. I’m a good growler. But then they started playing with my paws. And my toenail hurts! They said I had an infection. They have to clean it all up and put me on medicine to make me better. Well, that was all just fine and dandy. But then they made Mommy leave me there! So I’m sleepy, in a strange place, where they’re doing strange things to me, and Mommy’s not even there! At least she left me with blankie. I like my blankie.

I wish I was with Timmy, I was having fun yesterday. We were playing. I was showing him my teeth, giving him kisses, and showing him my belly. He doesn’t like my teeth as much as I do. I don’t understand it. But then Mommy took me back to my small house (the house where I play with Timmy is my big house) and then I wound up at the vet. I just don’t get it. Was I naughty?
When Mommy and Grandma and Grandpa came to get me, they were very happy to see me. I wasn’t let out of my carrier on the way home, though. And I like to look out the windows while we drive. Mommy let me out when we got upstairs. And I gave everyone kisses. Lots of kisses. And I had the munchies. I ate a lot. Mommy was impressed. I think they gave me something that made me feel funny. But Mommy says it will make me feel better. I tried to sleep, but everything just felt so good. Pets were good, cardboard was AWESOME, and I got anything I wanted. This was just a really weird day.
