I am a new dog, let me tell you! Mom took me to a really cool place in August where I met a ton of people that all were making a big deal out of me. The people played around with my knee that hurt so much and talked with mom about my surgery. I didn't know what they were talking about, so I was my typical happy-go-lucky self while I was there. I learned what surgery is a week later!

Mom took my dinner away one evening and made sure I had no goodies hidden in my kennel, then she made me get up early (boy do I hate that!) and go for a ride back to the really nice vet. I was bummed that she didn't give my any breakfast or treats. I ALWAYS get treats when we go places! Mom then left me there! I couldn't believe it! She has never, ever left me anywhere before.

I fell asleep while I was there and woke up feeling like I got hit by a truck. I didn't know what happened or where I was. My leg felt funny too. Mom came and got me the next day. I had this funny wrap on my leg - but at least it was a manly black color! Mom was saying she was gonna put me in pink!!!

The next month was terrible. I wasn't allowed to play, to run, to jump or anything. I could only go outside to go potty on a leash - I was so used to running around the yard that I started throwing tantrums on the leash. Mom and Dad kept telling me I didn't want to hurt my knee, but they didn't understand that it didn't hurt anymore. I really felt the best I ever have! I also had to spend a lot more time in my kennel. I was throwing tantrums in there too - I started slamming my head into the door and the sides. I also learned that if I scream really loud either Mom or Dad come running to see what happened!

Like I said before, I am a new dog. I am now allowed to be a normal dog again...boy did I miss playing! My knee is all better too! Mom and Dad are so happy - I don't limp anymore and I can run like the wind. Although I really don't know if I like what this "surgery" meant, I guess I like what happened afterwards! It's so nice to feel good when I play!!
