Saturday 7/28/12

I'm doing great. I feel real good and I am happy. I am almost finished heart worm treatment. Mom said I get tested again in Oct. and if I test negative I can go up for adoption. I've been here for such a long time I feel like this is my home. I know I will only leave if it's a good place though.

I have a new friend. His name is Doobie. Mom named him that. She said he is very sick. He has the heart wormies just like I had....a real bad case. He has blood in his pee pee just like I did. He had to stay in the doggie hospital 3 days! I only stayed 1 day and night. Boy he must be real sick. He looks OK and he said he is OK. Well, I'm saying prayers for the little guy. He is sweet and he needs us real bad right now so we will help him. I told him he is going to be fine just like me.

Hot

It's very hot here now. It was 100 degrees today. I don't really care cause we have a doggie door and I just go out long enough to do my business and then I come inside where it's cool. The floor is sooooo cool. Beau lays with his belly on the floor. Mom says he looks like a frog. I like to be in the soft pink bed.

I feel good and Mom says I am doing great. She told Dad that nobody would believe how sick I was when I came here. I do need to get a pound off. My figure is not so slim. I eat well.

Time for bed. Good night.

Almost over.

I'm almost over heart worm treatment. Me and Willow have only till June 9th and we will go in for testing and if OK we will go up for adoption. I don't think I will get adopted. I am 6 yrs old and I have a heart murmur. Mom said it is not my worry. She said I am a "rescue" and that means I will be taken care of no matter what. She said if I don't get adopted I'll live right here like Rose and Stormy and Barron. I have decided to stop worring. I will be OK and loved by himans no matter what. Mom said there is no way I could not be loved cause I am sweet as a sugar cookie. ~~tail wags~~ She loves me.

A great day!

Today is the end of my heart worm treatment. I am now free of those nasty things. YEAH!!!!

I feel better today.

Thanks to all our Dogster Pals for the well wishes and prayers.

Mom and dad left me and my friend Willow at the vet's office last Monday and we had to sleep over. It was just terrable! We both got bad shots on Monday and again on Tue morning. I was very scared and so was Wilow. Her exterior of iron pretty much melted. It was dank and we were all alone all night long. It was real quiet and Willow and I just talked in the dark from our kennels. I told Willow I was sure mom and dad would come back for us. Willow was not so sure. Now both of us have been through the abandonment thing and we are not looking at life through rose colored glasses. But I just remembered what mom and dad said. "We love you girls, be good. We will be back for you and those old heart worms are going to die and you will feel great afterwards."

See, Willow likes to act tuff but she's not. We both cried in the dark and I think we became much better friends that night. Willow had a bit of a problem and the vet had to give her a special shot Mon. afternoon and another on Tue. afternoon. She felt reallllly bad. She was panting and just got very upset. Well we are both better now. I just felt so very sick and still feel bad. It's like having a serious case of the flu. You just ache all over and feel like your gonna die or like you want to. I am sleeping next to mom's side of the bed and so is Willow. Mom gets up and down with us all night long. We have a way to go but we are being good for mom and dad. I sure hope those old wormies die.

Oh no!

Mom has been crying for 2 days. She just stopped crying about Ollie passing and now she is crying cause Honey and Deedee and going to their new forever home today. She is so heart broken. OH they have a great new home. It's just MOM! She has a hard time letting go of any of us. I wonder if she will cry and be sad when I get adopted. I'm afraid she will. Poor Mom.

I feel so bad. :(

I feel so bad. I am ashamed and heartbroken. Ollie went to the Rainbow Bridge. I thought he was playing sick. I mean, he was never sick, ever. I should not have said that he faked it. I am so sorry. My heart hurts. It hurts for Mom and Dad and all of us who loved him. He was "The Old One" and he really was a nice old fellow. I did get to say Sorry to him. We all knew he was leaving on Wed. when we went to bed. Of course Mom and Dad didn't know. Humans don't have the wisdom about such things as dogs do. He left about midnight. He said he was very tired. I said "well Ollie you should take a nap." He said "Not that kind of tired, Cookie. I am a tired that does not get better with resting because I just don't feel well anymore". I saw that he was really sick and Mom was giving him meds 3 times a day.I tried to help him but I couldn't. He said he was not angry with me for thinking he was playing sick. He said he understands why I like a lot of attention and he knows I had a hard life, almost as bad as his, before I came here.I know he fogave me but I still feel bad. Bella said that is called a "Life Lesson" and Bella said some life lessons hurt to learn. Bella is wise. She said I should not worry about what I said because Ollie was very wise and did understand. But she said I should never forget and not make judgments like that again. Bella is so kind. I miss Ollie. I miss his just being here. I miss seeing him in his bed, out in the yard in the sun, cuddled up next to Dad on the couch. I miss him very much. I don't think humans know that dogs miss the ones that go away.
Good Bye Ollie, my friend. I hope you have the rest you said you needed so badly.

Diary Pick?

My diary was picked? Hummmm I wrote about Bad Old Ollie yesterday. He faked being sick and got all kinds of good stuff. Spent the day at our vet's with Miss Jody and all the girls lovin on him. That was so not right. Well he coughed again today. Maybe he is sick. The vet said his heart and lungs sounded fine. I'm with mom. I think allergies. Alergies are like fleas. Yuckie thing to put up with and hard to get rid of. Ya, fleas and allergies are a lot alike.

What a day. Mom and dad are loosing it. They bought this pad thingie that is like fake grass and it smells like some dog peed on it maybe in the store and they didn't know. Well Willow squatted on it and then little Deedee. Mom and dad clapped for them. Talk about silly! I'm not using that thing. I go outside like a big girl. Willow is such a Diva, Princess, Fancy Pants gal. Deedee is a baby so I guess they will use it. It's silly if you ask me. Humans sure have strange ideas. A pad that is covered with fake grass and expecting us to tinkle on it. My goodness!

Poor Ollie

Dad took Ollie to the vet today. He's been coughing and Dad was worried. Mom said she was scared it was his heart. Turns out he got to spend the day with Miss Jody and the ladies playing with him and he god a good once over by the vet. He's fine. He was faking it! Bad dog! I never play sick. I'm a good girl.

I'm mad at mom.

Mom said I am FAT! It's this collar. I know it is. It's the wrong color for me. The worse part of it is that SHE picked the color! She says it's cause I eat my food and my friend's left overs. That is silly. That has nothing to do with it at all. Dad says I am perfect. He said I was so skinny when I came here that he thinks I am absolutely beautiful. I love my dad, not so much my mom. lol Just kidding. I love her too. I need a new collar. A black one?
