Piggy's pages

Brachycephallic baby

Mama had to take me to the vet for my eye. I don't make tears, so I have to have ointment put in there, and I HATE IT. Dr. Woolley said she noticed I was having too much trouble breathing and mama felt so bad because she's so used to my piggy sounds that she didn't even notice it was getting worse. Plus I ALREADY HAD a surgery to correct my breathing. Sometimes when I'm sleeping I stop breathing altogether and it scares my mom and dad.

Anyway, it turns out that my larynx is collapsing. Mom is so sad because the doctor couldn't tell her if it will stop collapsing even after this second corrective surgery. Dad is mad because two weeks after I was adopted, they tried to fix this and were told that my tongue was too big and there was nothing else to be done. That wasn't true, and now I am suffering for it. I guess the elongated palate surgery should have been done when I was younger and before my throat started collapsing on itself. My family is very sad that my time here may be limited because someone didn't care enough to do what needed to be done. I am getting lots of love and prayers from mama's friends on the Woofboard. They are such wonderful Boston lovers...I hope my doggie angel is listening...I'm not ready to go yet. I want to stay and wiggle some more.

Sorry this is a sad diary entry. Keep good thoughts for me, k?

Thank you Dogster!

Thanks to Dogster, I have been reunited with one of my babies!! Mama is so excited! Droxie (my daughter) is a beautiful girl, and mama says she looks just like me! I'm so sad though, because Droxie shares my bad knees and has lots of health issues like me. Thank goodness she is in a home that loves her and has done everything they can to make her a happy girl. She even has a sister like I do! ( I bet Sophie is waaaay more annoying though. ) Droxie and Oreo are service dogs...and sooo smart! I am so proud of my baby girl.

Springtime!

Well, it's been a long time since I wrote in my diary. Since my last entry, I had to have ANOTHER surgery. My eye almost ruptured from what, we don't know, but I'm okay now. Poor mom and dad...all my medical stuff is gonna put them in the poor house, but momma says I'm worth every penny. I love my momma! Anyhow, I thought I would NEVER get that stinkin e-collar off!

I'm loving my new home with my new family and my crazy sister Sophie. Sometimes I like to steal her bones, just cuz I can! Ha ha ha! That's what sisters do, right?

Yesterday I was a naughty girl. I took a huge dump in the kitchen and poor momma stepped in it and tracked it alllllll over the kitchen. Then she had to hop around in the back yard trying to get the hose (in the pouring rain) to wash my poop off her shoe. I felt so bad, I hid in my crate...but after mom got done hopping and cleaning, (She even spashed poop in her own face washing off her shoe!) she came in and wasn't even mad at me. I'm glad, cuz I never did that before and I really didn't mean to do it this time either. Mom told me thanks for not pooping on the rug. I am a very considerate girl, aren't I?
