A Day in the Life of Bella

Post-surgery

Well, it's been seven weeks since the surgery and I'm still recovering. Momma says I had a luxating patella, and that's why the doctor operated on my knee and put in two steel pins. Momma won't let me play with my squeeky and it's making me very unhappy, especially when I see Putter, Kalli and Lily playing and running. At least I don't have to sleep in the crate all by myself any more!

Momma keeps saying just two more weeks, two more weeks. I'm not sure what that means, but it sure seems a long, long time away. I'm so sad I can't run and chase the squirrels with Lily like we did all summer. Now Kalli chases them with her, and that's just not fair. ;(

But Momma says she's so proud of me and gives me lots of attention and cuddle time. She says she can't wait to take me for a long run and that we'll find lots of squirrels that I can chase, maybe even some low-flying geese! But it's finally getting cold, so Momma will make me wear that silly red jacket that Daddy makes fun of. But it does keep me warm! I just can't wait to chase Kalli and Lily and the squirrels. And to play tug with Putter 'cause she always lets me win....
