The "CAR" thing (cont.)

OK, Mommy and Daddy brought home the new car last night. They took all of us out and showed it to us, but it was too near bedtime to go for a ride, but they said we could all go get ice cream this weekend .... I can't wait! It has a really funny smell though, but I'll bet that will change once Eddie gets in it. It looks like it has plenty of room for all of us to have our "personal space". Mommy is going today to get some blankies for the seats so we'll be more comfortable. Is it the weekend yet (and just what is a weekend by the way)? If I'm real good, they might even drive through MickeyD's and get us a cheeseburger (plain, please!). I'll have my digits crossed! I might be liking this car thing after all!

The "CAR" thing!

Mommy went out yesterday for awhile and when Daddy came home, they both left again (I hate being left out of the loop!) When they came home, I heard them talking about a new car, actually a van! I heard Daddy telling Mommy that he really liked the one they looked at because it had plenty of room for the three of us furbabies when we all want to go to the beach and he liked the door access it had for Earnie who has trouble getting around to higher places like our other cars. By the way ..... what's a beach?

Now, I'm not a big fan of this "car" thing. When I first came to live with my wonderful Mommy and Daddy, Mommy put me in the car to take me to see Doctor Bill. Of course, I had no idea at the time that she was taking me there even though she told me over and over that we were only going to the doctors and would be back home before I knew it. Hey, what was I to think? I found this wonderful house with my new wonderful Mommy and Daddy, and there they were taking me away again. OK, looking back I can see now that I was being totally irrational, and became a bit hysterical over the whole ordeal, actually, so bad that Mommy had to turn around half way there and bring me back home because I was so scared and she didn't want me to be afraid (What a good Mommy, see, I told you she was wonderful.). After that episode, she and Daddy would take me on wee tiny little rides and tell me the whole time we were gone that I would go back home, and guess what ..... I always did! So now, I'm not that afraid of this "car" thing. Hearing about this "beach" has me a bit perplexed though, but I'm sure Mommy and Daddy will make it fun for us.

Anyway, back to the new car subject (I get off track sometimes!). Mommy says it's alot bigger then the Jeep or our other two cars and has two doors that slide open and lots of room for all three of us babies and it isn't as high for Earnie to get in and out of. She told us we can even watch TV in it and we have our own air conditioning .... wow! Earnie is all excited because he loves going in the car, he's done it since he was a tiny puppy, and he's got to go to this "beach" before. Eddie even likes this car thing .... maybe I need to get more used to it. Well, I don't think they made a final decision yet on which one they want, but I'll keep you updated! Who knows ... maybe I can get use to this "Car" thing after all!

More "Pretties"!

Mommy had to take Grandma to the hospital (poor Grandma, I know how she feels! I hope she doesn't come home with a big plastic neck-thing on, that'll really hinder her treat-giving abilities!) today and when she came home, she had a new designer raincoat just for me. Good thing, because it's been raining, pardon the expression ;-), cats and dogs around here lately and I totally dread getting wet! So now I can be both dry and fashionable, it even has a hoodie.

Eddie called me a Diva, again. He is sooooo jealous, a typical baby brother. But big brother Earnie thinks I look stunning, he's such a sweety. OK, gonna go see if Mommy will put one of my new bandanas on today, I think I'm feeling like blue!

Have a great day!

Hurray! Good News!

Well, Mommy took me back to Doctor Bill this morning to have my stitches out, and we got really good news ...... my lumps are OK! They're just fatty something or other (how dare they call anything on me fat?).

Now we have to all pull together and pray for Little Bit that his treatments continue to work, we need to all pack together as Dogster alumni and beat this awful cancer thing! I know we can do it! Woof Woof!!!!! I'd also like to invite everyone to join me in praying for my little brother Eddie's pal Cedar http://www.dogster.com/pet_page.php?i=266847&j=t who has pneumonia. He's a great little guy who needs our help, so let's do it again!!!!!

Two days later ....

Well, I'm doing much better today. My boo boos aren't so sore and I can finally get comfortable to get some rest. Mommy and Daddy are taking such wonderful care of me. They do their best to make sure I don't get stuck with my neck collar on and that I'm as comfortable as possible. Either Mommy or Daddy hold me while I sleep all night so I feel safe and secure. Daddy told me this morning I only have 7 more days to go with this very unfashionable collar on my neck, then I can get my stitches out.

Mommy and Daddy are still concerned until they get the results of the biopsy. They should get them Tuesday morning when Mommy takes Eddie in to be neutered (Yikes, poor little guy!) Earnie gets mad at him when he wants to play with me because he thinks Eddie may hurt me, he's such a fantastic big brother. OK, gonna go lay down on the couch by Daddy for a bit and get some rest. Talk to you soon!

Good News So Far!

Well, I'm home! The doctor said I could go home this afternoon because I was such a model patient and he knew I really missed Mommy and Daddy. I was a wee bit groggy when Mom and Dad came to get me, but I heard him tell them that he took out the tumor they found and then he found another the size of a golf ball! Must have been one of Dad's golf balls I swallowed when Eddie and I were playing. Good thing it didn't come out the other end, OUCH! He also told them that they both looked like good, clean, non-cancerous tumors, but he was sending them away to be biopsied (whatever that is, Mommy understood though).

So far, so good. It turned out better today than I thought and Mommy and Daddy are in much better spirits hearing all this, but they're still holding their breaths. They look funny with that bluish color! But now I have this not-so-fashionable neck collar on so I won't lick my stitches. I keep getting stuck, but Mommy is helping me get used to it! Well, thought I'd update you. I'll let you know the results of that biopsy thing. Got to go so Mommy can put ice packs on my boo boos.

Detection, Removal and Testing .....

Last night while I was in bed cuddling with Mommy and Daddy, Mommy was petting my belly and felt something that shouldn't have been there. She pointed it out to Daddy, and he told her to call the vet first thing in the morning and have me checked (they love me so much to worry so!). So Mommy called the vet as soon as he opened and talked to him and told him about the lump she found under my left leg. He told her to bring me in right around lunch time, and he'd look at it ( He knows my Mommy well, and knows she tends to get a bit excited over every little thing when it comes to her "babies"). So, off we go to this "vet" I hear Mommy and Daddy talking about. Now, I'm a bit apprehensive being new in the family and all, and I know my Mommy and Daddy would never take me back to the shelter or leave me anywhere they didn't feel comfortable with, so I trust them, and a bit unwillingly, go.

When we arrive there, I find everyone there to be absolutely wonderful. No wonder my Mommy raves about them! My Mommy and Daddy must come here alot, because my Mommy didn't even have to check in and tell them who I was, they knew my name already (See, my reputation proceeds me)! And even though other people and their pets were in the waiting area, the doctor called my Mommy right in as soon as he saw us. All the girls told me how beautiful I was and how much they loved my Yappy Happy ID tag and they all made Mommy tell them where she got it so they could get their babies one too. Even the doctor petted me and told me I was pretty (a man of superb taste!). These people treat me like the royalty I am! See Eddie, I am a princess!!!!! But then I heard him tell Mommy that he didn't want to take any chances and he wanted to remove the lump. Mommy reluctantly agreed because she didn't like leaving me in a place strange to me, but she also is concerned with my health and well being. But the nice doctor also told her that Daddy and she could pick me up later this afternoon after he was done. I'm a bit scared, and so are Mommy and Daddy, but they really trust these people, so I guess I will too.

But I could tell Mommy is worried. Hey, I'm a tough cookie for such a Diva, I'll be fine! But we'll be sure to let you know what happens now.
