The Tasty Treat in the Backyard

Splenic Torsion

On May 18, 2006 I almost lost my life to splenic torsion but my doctor and his tech operated on my and removed my four pound spleen and repaired my pancreas and stomach. I am grateful to all the vets and vet techs who helped me get better. They treated me so well and they call to see how I am doing. However, it feels so nice to be at home. Even though it is rare, I encourage everyone to look up splenic torsion and learn about it.

Ya Know...

I really like this Dogster site and all of stuff about me but Mom really spends too much time in front of this computer and not enough time with me (big sigh!)

Oct. 10, 2004

So Carson and I were in the backyard playing when I found a juicy dead rodent and decided it would make a nice snack. Although this would disgust my mom, I was on the run for a long time before I came to her and I have eaten a few rodents in my past. Anyway, so I am snacking on the rodent when mom comes to see what I have in my mouth and she yells and tells me to drop it. Now I am all for following what mom tells me but it was a really meaty rodent so I kept going back to get it hoping that she wouldn't see me. That didn't work so she made Carson and I come back in the house while she got on the computer and made some phone calls. Then she got the nice young kid from next store to come and pick the rodent up and put it in a plastic bag. Little did Carson and I know, she was taking us to the vet. Ugh! I just found a rodent...what was the big deal? Anyway, we spent all afternoon at the vet while they tried to make us puke. Then she gave us a Vitamin K shot. Now Carson and I have to take these Vitamin K cookies (chewable tablets) to make sure we don't get sick in case the rodent was poisoned. The cookies are okay but I the afternoon at the vet's sucked.
