Back from the Rip Out Room!!

As promised, Mom dropped me off at the vets first thing this morning. They took me right out into the back instead of even stopping in an exam room. Mom signed her life, and mine, away and went back to work.
Before long one of the techs came along and gave me some Valium...that was nice, but that was the ONLY nice thing about the whole day! Next thing I knew, I was waking up and Sarah from work was picking me up. My neck HURTS!!!
The vet called Mom and told her I had an abscess...duh, Mom knew that. She also told Mom it was already ruptured and draining so she just cut out the nasty pocket in the center and put in some stitches to help it heal. I have to take TONS of antibiotics cuz I went swimming in the beaver pond with it open. Oops!
It was fine this afternoon but now it hurts me so I have to lie on my side. Mom said it was good for some sympathy so milk it while I can...trust me, I will!!!

 

Camping was FUN!!!

Wow, I had a very, very big weekend! I got to go to the camping weekend Mom had with Julia. First, we had to get our beds ready. Julia gave us a big speech outlining all the sleeping rules.
Yeah, right. The only rule I listened to was to be comfy!! It WAS pretty cold in that tent so I ended up under Mom's sleeping bag, cuddled up with Toto. I slept GREAT!
This morning we all got to play for a while, then Julia cooked breakfast and us dogs got the leftovers. Guess what, we had EGGS!!!
After breakfast, I had another first. Julia chose ME to go along on the kayaking trip. I had never been before so she said Ali could come and teach me cuz she is a good teacher.
I only fell in once, but I had to wear the life jacket until Mom knew I could swim, I could, so then I didn't have to wear it anymore. It WAS HOT!!! During lunch we all went swimming again.
Unfortunately, Mom noticed my neck was pretty swollen so she took a look and I have an abscess from something. Soo, after my great weekend, I have to go to the vet's tomorrow. DRATS! Mom says it's a good thing she didn't notice it BEFORE we went kayaking cuz I would have had to stay home. Ooops!

 

Barking????

Mom says while MOST of my issues have been resolved since I came here I still have one major issue...BARKING! None of Mom's poodles bark unless there is some life or death issue so she is getting a bit annoyed with me, BOL, hehehe!
I bark, can I help it? I bark when I first wake up and Mom says it's time to go outside. I bark while she is walking from the bedroom to the outside. I bark while she is letting the others out. After I do my pee pees and poopies, I bark to come back inside.
When I come inside, I need to bark to remind Mom that while everyone else needs to go into their crates, I do not do crates! (Bless her, she HAS learned that much!) I also need to bark when Mom gets ready to head over to work... she MIGHT take me if I remind her I am here???
When she gets home I have to bark cuz I am so happy she is back. Of course, we all have to go outside again, so there is a repeat of the morning barking.
Next, it is time for supper. I LOVE to eat so I have to bark until Mom gets my supper for me. Well, there are a lot of us, so it takes a while so I have to bark lots! I do eat in my crate, so the second I am finished eating I need to bark and bark so Mom knows I am done.
After dinner it is usually dark so we settle down in the living room. I need to bark every time I see a light pass by the window. We live on a busy road so there are LOTS of lights passing by the window, BOL!
When Mom is home from work I have to bark even more. If she goes outside and leaves me inside I need to bark. If I am outside and she is inside, I need to bark. If I am outside and she speaks to another dog, or worse yet, takes another dog for a walk or something, then, of course, I really have to bark, BOL!
If she is cleaning and gets out the vacuum cleaner or the mop I have to bark. If I don't notice, but Jonesy does and he barks, I have to bark, too.
If we are all going down to the lab pen I really have to bark and while I am barking, I need to jump along beside Mom so she knows I am there, in case she can't hear me barking. While we are down there, if some other dog LOOKS at MY toy, I need to bark and chase them away. If we are all running, I need to bark, of course.
I cannot understand why NO ONE else here barks, well, except for Jonesy...he barks at noises like motors and bells and stuff like that, and he barks at the cats. I have NEVER barked at a cat, well, unless it was outside and I spied it thru the window...Mom needs to know they are out there, right??
Anyway, not one of those other dogs EVER barks unless the door bell rings or something like that. They are pretty strange, I think! They all run along outside, chasing the chickens or each other and never make a sound. Weird!!!
I will say, I do NOT bark in the bedroom at night. I am too tired from all that barking I've done all day long, BOL!
