The day my Grandma and Great Uncle saved my life

When I couldnt feel my paws

I was very frightened one day when I had lots of pain in my back and I cried and cried to my mommy. She took me to the doctor and he fixed me with a shot, but it still hurt and I couldnt tell my mommy. Then a few weeks later, I really hurt my back after too much swimming, my mommy made an apt to see the vet because she saw me limping. When she came home to get me I couldnt walk and dragged my legs around. I was so scared and my mommy cried. She rushed me to the hospital and Dr. Jen said I needed emergency surgery. I didnt know what would happen to me, but my mommy had to leave me and she was crying. The next day she picked me up and I thought I was going home, b ut I was put in a case and she took me on a plane. I was on lots of drugs so didntknow where I was but I knew I was safe because mommy was there. We went somewhere really cold and I was scared and shaking. My mommy held me close and I got poked by doctors. Mommy had to leave me and I cried and refused to eat, hoping she would come back and rescue me. The next day they put me to sleep and gave me a big operation on my back. When I wokeup I couldnt remember what happened. I was dosy and didnt know what day it was, but it was a happy day when my mommy and my grandma came to see me, but they could only stay with me one hour and then the nurse made them leave. they came back again the same day, and I was even better and had more energy but I couldnt go home. I was so exited when my mommy finally took me home, on the plane to see my daddy. I had to learn to pee and poo and walk all over again and live in a crib, but now I am better. and just love my mommy and daddy for taking care of me like I was a human baby- they know I really am!

The day my Grandma and my Great uncle saved my life.

One day last summer I was a bored and so my brothers and sisters and I decided to bark and bark and bark somemore. Then we decided to bark at the fish in the water. It was very rough and the waves were big. I am the best swimmer in my family and I wasnt scared- because my mommy taught me to swim and I have my deep water certificate. I guess I wasnt paying attention, but something happened and I dont know what it is, but I was accidently pushed and fell in. It was very roough and I was very scared because my mommy wasnt in the water with me. I tried to swim and to hold my head above water, but I was so frightened and couldnt hold my head up, I fell asleep in the water, little did I know I would be a lucky boy.
My brothers and sisters were barking to sound the alarm that I was in trouble. My Great Uncle heard them and happened to see me, little babay Piggy in the water. He ran to the beach and fishedd my out of the water. He turned me upside down and water came out of me, but I didnt wake up. He thought I was dead. My Grandma heard the barking and came running, Great Uncle Michael passed my limp Piglet body to Grandma. He told her I was dead. She said- " no he cant be, his mother will never get over it" I guess I heard her somewhere!
She put me down on the ground and gave me rescue breathing and chest compressions- CPR- (yes you can d it for us dogs) and little me, baby Piglet sputtered back to life. My mommy came home and was in tears, she came to see me at the hospital- and I was alive and very happy to see her and my twin brother Piccolo. It took me a while to get better- but the vet says I am the luckiest boy alive. My mommy took care of me, and wont let me by the water anymore. I love my grandma, my great uncle and mommy! I am on my second life.
