Jethro's Journey

Hey, what about ME????

For some reason Mom has been leaving me home EVERY SINGLE DAY lately!!! I get up, race outside to do my business, and suddenly, Mom heads off to work and I am still outside. What is even worse is that we have been having some HORRIBLE, TERRIBLE, COLD, WET, thunderstorms every single day.
Yesterday Mom did manage to get home in time to bring us all inside before the rain came, but today we were left to our own devices! (Mom also demanded that I mention when we are outside, we have a HUGE, covered porch with dog beds all over it so we are comfy and dry... Okay, Mom?)
Anyway, Quincy is also out there with me, and the cresteds are, and so are Riley and Zena and Annie. Today she even left Toto and Beanie outside with us!!!
After all that rain fell, all at once, I might add, we all ran out and played in the mud. It was sooooo much fun, I love mud!!! When Mom got home she was really surprised to find TEN brown dogs, BOL!! She hustled us right into our crates for dinner, then made us stay there until we were all dried out.
I suspect I will be staying home once again tomorrow. You see, Mom rented out ALL the little expens in the daycare room so I would have no place to stay if I went to work anyway. I am going to have to go pretty soon cuz I need a nice bath since I am now more brindle than black!!

CAMPING, I wanna go, too!!

What is camping, anyway??? I want to go with them when they go! Beanie said we can sleep in a tent and he will show me how to sneak out in the night by pulling on the zippers. Sounds like fun, to me!
Mom said that usually Frenchies can't go camping cuz it is just plain too hot for them. Hey, I can swim in the pond to cool off, right?
I thought the reason Mom cut off my balls was so I could go places with them?? She said those famous words, "We'll see."
Yesterday we stayed down in the lab pen forever! It was kind of cloudy and cool so it was fine for me to race around down there. Mom tried to put some water in our pool but, it got a HUGE hole right in the bottom so all the water poured out as fast as she put it in. Rats, I wanted to swim!
Skye couldn't believe how independent I am! Every time I wandered off by myself she would try to convince me to come back and play with her. Nope, too busy checking things out, besides, I do not need ANY people, I am fine by myself.
You don't supposed if I pretended I needed her I would have gotten invited on the camping trip, do you??? Uh oh, maybe I made a tiny mistake???

OUCH????

Actually, I DID have my surgery on Friday. Julie brought me up to the vets and LEFT ME!! BTW, I weighed 13.7 lbs, but that was before they removed my you know whats!!! They were BIG so I probably weigh only 10 lbs now, BOL!!!
Mom had them do my surgery on Friday because the vet that is the best with Frenchie anesthesia AND is the best with stitching was on and he did have time to do me, so off I went!
They called Mom at 12:30, said I was done and I was fine and they would bring me back before Mom closed the kennel cuz they all wanted to play with me until then. Sure enough, Julie (a different Julie), brought me back to Mom at 4:30. Mom put me in a crate and I napped a bit.
When it was time to go home Mom leashed me up and I RAN all the way home. I went outside, did my business, and then had my supper. Would you believe Mom wasn't gonna feed me???? Silly woman!!!
After dinner I played with Toto and Beanie until bedtime. Mom said someone forgot to tell me I had surgery, so she checked to make sure I really DID have surgery. Yup... they were GONE and I have 8 or 9 stitches on my belly button where that hernia was.
Since I am such a perfect puppy, I had a perfect weekend and did all the things I normally do without a twinge of pain, even played with HUGE Quincy!!! Mom says it's cuz I am young...what does THAT have to do with it????
