The Life of Marley

Trip to the hospital

I want everydoggie to know, I went to the hospital and spent FOUR nights there.....My Mommy and Daddy missed me soooo much...
About 2 weeks ago, the big mean boxers next door (four of them), jumped on me and nothing has been the same since..I dont know why they did this, cuz I just wanted to play....My daddy had to rescue me and he got hurt too, on the hand. I could barely walk and this red stuff was dripping off me. So my mommy took me to the doctor and she gave me some medicine and sent me home and said I would be ok.
Well, a few days later I started getting this big knot thing on my chest and my mommy took me back to the doctor and they did something called surgery on me so they could get all the germies out of me. My mommy came to see me everyday and brought me bones but it was still scary, especially at night when it was dark and quiet. It wasnt so bad during the day cuz there were peoples all around and I LOVE people! Finally, my daddy came to get me and took me home!! I havta go back in a few days so the doctor can see me again.... Ohhhhh, I hope my Mommy doesnt leave me there again!!! She says I "probably" wont havta stay this time. I asked her..."What does 'probably' mean?" She also tells me something about having to learn all over again how to play with other doggies and not fight. Hmmmm, I dont know about all this. But I do know I am glad to be back home!!

Today my new Mom and Dad came and picked ME over my 3 brothers and one sister.....whewwww...they almost took my sister...they kept picking me up and looking, then sister.....I wanted to go sooooo bad with them, I knew I had to do something really cute and quick....sooooo, being the LoverBoy that I am, I just laid my head down on Mom's shoulder and was realllll still for a bit , and the rest is history.....
I cried a little in the car and it took a while to get home...when we got home, I met my new sisters, Lucy and Liza and a gold cat named SmellyCat.....now, my sister, Lucy is a Cocker and she acts like she wants to play, but Liza, the Yorkie rules the roost here and she tells Lucy.."You better not!!".....but my Mom and Dad love me alot and we have played alllll day.....I ate my own food and didnt even have to share it....I sleep in this box thingie and cried a little but I was soooo tired, I was asleep in no time....Maybe my sisters will play with me tomorrow...
