Slowly getting my pep back

It seems furever, but I'm slowly getting better. I actually was moving yesterday night. I'm not 100% my any means, but I'm finally showing signs of improving.

I still want to be left alone, from my fur family. They're just to overzealous for my state. But I enjoy being doted on from my pawrents. I'm glad I'm feeling better. I think I needed to be on 2 meds, one for the pain and one for the swelling, and that did the trick, rather than just the pain.

I'm still going to be on my 8 week watch me carefully plan like before, and I dont' mind. I just want to be my usual self. Can you miss yourself?

Still feelin' bad

I still have my pinched back. I'm just miserable! I'm hoping to get better soon. I don't know if the medicine is helping. I have no real progress report. Hopefully tomorrow will bring more promise.

My back AGAIN!!

I keep pinching my poor lil' back! what is it with me?

My 8 weeks of stay low has been way over, yet I just tripped it up somehow this morning and I'm hurting.

I got my meds in me already and Daddy put me in my favorite doggie bed in the living room. I should feel better again soon, but this means I have 8 weeks to do all over again. THIS SUCKS!

Start over

So my family went on vacation for 2 weeks. I was to be babysat by my Mommy's grandma. I guess that makes her my great-grandma. Anyhow, I was all alone. I would look at her with my big puppy-ol' eyes and she wouldn't pick me up. I wasn't even allowed on the furniture. This is new to me.

So she felt guilty and gave me treats. I can't be had, but I can be bought. So I got lots a treats.

November 30th is to be the end of my 8 weeks. However, when Mommy and Daddy came and got me, my first day back I was so excited I pinched my back AGAIN!!! They gave me some meds and the next day I felt just fine.

The kicker is the 8 weeks has to start all over again!!!!

This SUCKS!!! But better I get better than paralized.

I am hoping for some good scraps for my poor little self tomorrow since it's turkey day!!! Think it'll work?

Half way there!!

Today the family is offically on vacation. The family was unofficially on vacation on Friday after work. They've been packing and getting odd and ends. But they drop us pups off today to our designated puppy-sitters. They'll be gone two weeks. I'll bark about everything when I can.

On a great note, I'm half way through my 8 week puupy confinement. The next 2 weeks should be easy since I'll be all alone with my Mommy's grandma. I'll tell all. I'll miss my pawrents, but it'll be fun for a change.

Just completed week 3!!

Of 8 weeks I only got 3 down! Wow, does time crawl. I feel fine and it's hard for my parents to believe I need bed rest. I want to play and run and everything I love to do and when I don't I vocalize my discontent.

This week willbe a crazy week, but not as crazy as the 2 following weeks.

Mommy and Daddy are going on a vacation. They will be gone for 2 weeks. Us babies are being split up among family and friends while they are gone. (They've never had to kennel us- big smiles there!)

So Arwen and Amadeus will be at Melissa's home. She's a vet tech and has 3 dogs of her own and kitties too. So they will have lots of fun. Mommy thought she'd be best for the little puppy Ami. Since he's a handful and Arwen isn't, she thought they'd be a good balance.

Skylar and Dawson are going to Grandma's... mommy's mom. She has Kai-Li, who is Skylar's sister. They'll have fun.

But where do I go? I go to Great-Grandma's house!! Mommy's Mom's Mom!! She lives in a one story so there are no steps to worry about. She has no pets, so no one for me to play with, so this is supposidely the bset case for my "case" for me to be in. I shouldn't get hurt or aggravated there. So i'm the only dog, I'll be Queen of the household with all the attention on ME!!!! That's how it should be.

It will be a long 2 weeks. I'll write back after their vacation and let you all know how it went for me and the pack.

Trying to make it to week 2!

Only 6 and a half weeks left to go!

Man this is hard! I feel so much better now I want to run and jump and play and I'm not allowed. I'm used to getting my own way. What's up with this?

Anyhow, I feel so much better, but my pawrents still want me on bed rest the whole 8 weeks!!

So I'm carried up and down the stairs and am forced not to play with my furfamily. It's so hard! I keep barking at them I'm fine, put me down let me run, but they won't.

Everytime I try and play with Ami I get pulled up to the couch, forced to cuddle with my pawrents. If any of you know me, I really don't like cuddling unless it's with someone new visiting the house. Otherwise, let me be a free dog. I want to run and be independant. But no, there's no indepenance here.

I have been listening pretty well. But if I rebel, they said I will be caged! I'm never caged. Not even when they leave for work. I'm shut in their bedroom now (they don't want me to talke the stairs while they're gone... but before Ihad free reign over the house). Sigh! What's a girl to do?

I hope I can make it to week 8. I don't want to hurt myself, but it's hard to be one bed rest when you feel fine!

Diary of the Day

I'm one of the Diary picks of the day! That really helps brighten my day. It's been so crazy with the meds and being told to not move around too much.

We're hoping for the best. Amadeus wants to play with me so badly and doesn't understand not only that I'm not allowed to but I don't feel like it. I am getting carried everywhere, this must be what it's like to be Arwen. But I weigh much more then her. I've lost a bit of my appitite, but that's nothing to worry over. I want to hide under the couch all the time right now. I'm just not feeling well and what the pain to stop. I feel better than I did, before the meds, but I still feel very off.

Thank you to all my friends for the power of the paw. Your emails and rosettes and encouragement have been such a blessing. It really helps having pals like you able to lift my spirits.

I've 8 weeks to stay low key. I haven't even gotten through the first week yet. I have to stay good until November 30th. It seems so far away. So much can happen betwen now and then. I hope I do well.

Hugs to all my pals with appreciative barks,

Kiki

8 Weeks

Hello every furbody!

It's been an exhausting few days. Over the weekend I became lethargic and non-social. Now I’m prone to getting an upset stomach easily or just feeling blue in which I become a Mommy's girl for a day or two then snap out of it and become the little energizer bunny again. Well this time it seemed that I didn’t have a tummy problem or a cold. Whenever Mommy or Daddy touched my back I whined in pain.

I was rushed to the emergency vet and it seems I have a bulged disc pressing into my spine. It’s inflamed and if I do anything to aggravate it I will become paralyzed. I’m too stay medicated to reduce the inflammation and pain and to stay away from my precious fur family for 8 weeks hoping this heals up.

I’m an active girl and love my family, this is really hard for me to constantly stay away from them and understand why I’m on meds. But I do my best to stay a good girl. I hope I don’t do anything stupid to become paralyzed.

I know 8 weeks is a long time. But please keep me in your paw-prayers or thoughts. Power of the Paw can be a influential thing.
I’ll keep every paw updated on the status of everything.

It's my barkday!!

Everyone has been so nice sending me emails and rosettes and the like. It's so sweet. It means so much to mew and helps make my birthday oh so much sweeter.

All though I must say that the strawberry ice cream I got for my birthday was very, very sweet indeed!! Yummy!!

I'm to go to PetSmart this weekend and pick something out. Most likely a fun treat.

The icing covered dog bone was too hard for me to eat. Mommy didn't want a replay of Arwen's first birthday and rush me to the vet again becuase I was choking to death. So my original birthday gift got tossed away. But the ice cream was really good, but I'm sure I got what is called a brain freeze. I made some funny noises and ran for the water, but i wanted every ounce of that ice cream!!!

Birthday barks to all,

Kiki
