Life is Gooooood!

Big Mouth!

Me!!! I'm a big mouth! Let me tell ya about it.

Mom is off work for a few days so it's pretty cool when she's home. We get to go in and out, in and out, in and out... Well, you get the idea. Great day today... until...

Did I ever mention I like to eat dirt and grass? I do! Mom says I'm eating worms! For barkin' out loud! Anyway, we went out this afternoon, wasn't out there 10 minutes and Mom came out the door! Scared the bazooties outta me!!! She screamed, "MAGGIE!" Well, I guess I kind don't blame her. I was rolling my head on the ground and rubbing my eyes with my paws! My lips and jaws had swollen out 2 inches on each side! YIKES! Now let me tell ya, ya got to know my Mom... PANIC ATTACK! Ever seen one? Trust me, you don't want to see HERS! BOL!!! She ran into the house called Dr. B's office and said we are on our way, "MAGGIE'S FACE IS SWELLING UP"!!! In the 3 minutes it has taken to call the vet and grab my attire (collar & leash), I'm still swelling - eye closing shut!!! Uh oh.... now by this time I ain't none too happy. I start acting funny, but Mom figures whatever caused this is hurting! Well... YEAH! We get to Dr. B's in 5 minutes! Geeeezzzz.... I thought the ride was gonna kill me. They are so nice there, they were waiting for us. Dr. R (Dr. B not in) took me straight back and shot me up with benedryl and steroids and watched me for a little while to make sure I was breathing ok. Then... WHOOPS!!! Dr. R. asked if I had my arthritis medicine today? YEP! Sure did! Ooooooo noooooo... doesn't go well with steroids. So I get another shot for my tummy! Don't need me walking around here discarding everything I've had to eat today. Now I'm on Pepcid for the next few days too! Well, looks like I'm gonna be ok. Mommy has me in bed now, coz all this stuff is sure enough bound to make me a little droopy.

So I'm gonna sign off now and take a little nappy!

Hugs to all our sick friends and our friends that have gone to the Bridge. May God and the heavens smile on you and take care of you.

*yawns* Good night all..... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......
