4/4/09

I was sitting at the computer when I noticed April twitching every so often on the ground next to me. After watching her for about 30 seconds to make sure she wasn't just dreaming, I called my mom over and she said she was having mini-seizures and was probably on her way out. It was upsetting to hear of course, even though I knew she didn't have much time left anyway. I had her take her to the other room and after a few minutes I went in to sit with her. I decided that I'd rather she be put to sleep then have to go like this in pain. She wasn't very conscious of her surroundings either and she had been on fluids for the past weeks(and more recently painkillers). I really hate to see her in this condition too.
She will be missed greatly, as she was the first dog we got that was actually mine, but it makes me glad to think she'll be with Sassy and our other pets who have passed on.

RIP April.

Not Doing So Well

Let's start off with something fun first! My birthday was on february 4th. I turned 14!

The not so good part; I went over to the vet the other day and my liver values are high. They gave me some medicine for it, but I've been barfing up my food lately and now the medicine so they've stopped that. I got fluids today and might go on some new meds tomorrow.

Woof,
April

I've been Love-Tagged!

This is a new game that I find really sweet. It's Love-Tagged!!
The rules are to send a rosette to 3 doggies that mean a lot to you. Then, in your diary, write the rules and why you chose those 3 special pups.
Have fun!!
-----Dogs I loved-tagged:
Jombie: She is so pawsome! One of my best pals in dogster and real life!

Magnolia&Scout: They are some of my best dogster pals! They're in the same family so I put them together. They always send me stars and rosettes(and I send some to them too)! They're very sweet.

Braxton: Braxton and his mommy are so nice! Sassy and I got to meet them in person too.

Ruff,
April

PS-- I wasn't sure if you were allowed to tag the dog that tagged you, so I just decided not to. Sorry JR, I still love ya though(of course)!! :)

My Birthday!

Okay, soooo it was on the 4th. I haven't had time to update this since then! I had a lot of fun! Thanks to all the dogs who wished me a happy birthday or gave me rosettes. :)
I got to go out to visit some friends and try on a sweater moms Grandma is making for me. It was so pretty! She's going to make it a bit smaller, though, so you guys won't get to see it yet! =P
I also got lots of treats!

I'm 12 now...but I sure don't feel it!
Woof woof!

MARDog Howl-o-ween Parade

On saturday I met Jombie and Braxton.(Well, Jombie for the second time, first time Sassy met her, and first time we all met Braxton) It was a lot of fun! We went to Jombie's house afterwards and I made myself comfortable in her bed after playing a bit. =3 We took a lot of pictures too, hehe.

~~~

At the Howl-o-ween parade we were supposed to show the judges what tricks we knew. I did my little dance and then the judge asked Mom if I would come when she called me. Mom got me to stay in one spot, walked a few paces away, then called me. I was so confused with grandma in one spot and all the dogs who were playing in the dog park watching from the fence. I wouldn't come to mom or sit for her either(I don't really know that command...). So anyway, I won Best Little Dog and Sassy won Most Obedient. :)

April's Big Adventure!

Would you believe it? They left me outside alll night! I was around until 5:30 in the morning and was actually barking at one point but moms dad thought that it was Snowie(who is staying with us at the moment). So Mom woke up at 8:30 only to be told that April was missing(no where in the house, no where to be seen outside). Grandma had been looking for an hour already. Then mom came and they looked for another hour. Then grandma went inside and made calls and mom made Missing posters. Soon enough, after grandma had called the police, we got a call back from them.
I had been wandering down the middle of the road, minding my own business, whenthis man stopped his car and scooped me up. I was perfectly capable of finding my way home...even if was going in the wrong direction. The mommy came and got me with grandma and now I'm home. =3
