I was absolutely floored when I saw that dogster made me the dog of the week this week. I wonder if it's because it's near valentine's and they know I have a big heart (both medically and emotionally). Anyhow, thank you all for the rosies and stars and crowns and bones and stuff. It means a lot to me and my mom who helps me type.
I have to go on an adventure tomorrow to the vet. I've been coughing a bit at night and the vet wants to give me a chest x-ray. Then I might have to get my meds adjusted a bit. Going to the vet is a big adventure because these days I just usually go to the yard and back. Walking is not easy for me. Sometimes I get scared at the vet too. Last time they let my mom come in back with me. I wonder if they will again. She likes to pet my ears and tell me it will be ok. I feel much safer with her there.
Anyhow, that's all the news for me. Who would have thought that this old dog would get honored like this? You are all the pawsomest.
How are things? I've been pretty out of it. Sleeping a lot. My vet gave me more traumadol for pain. I am not in too much pain now but I just can't get up much. My dad is nice and carries my hind legs to the food bowl and to go to the bathroom. Sometimes I fall and get stuck. That's the hard part.
I am enjoying snuggles with mom and dad and even with Sienna. Mom also gives me smoothies and other treats. She must really love me. Dad cares about me so much to carry me like he does. I don't want him to work too hard lifting me so I sleep most of the time on my dog beds not the couch or human bed as much. I am a lot less fussy than I used to be.
Dad and mom say that it's ok if I go to the bridge soon. They know I lived a good life and can go peacefully. But I'm not quite ready yet.
I am totally copying my sister's blog title but don't tell her. Shhh. I hope you all are happy and ringing in the new year pooch style. I am celebrating by stealing loads of popcorn from my dad. When he got distracted for a minute the other day, I chomped a whole bunch out of his bowl! Too bad he decided to eat the rest anyway instead of give it all to me. Shucks.
YOu might be wondering how my health is. I just got some blood test results. My bloodwork is looking good! I continue to have good internal health. My heart is doing fine, as are my kidneys and liver. Whoo-hoo! I hope I have another 5 years left in me. The only thing that has been hard is walking around. I can't seem to get up like I used to. And sometimes I have to drag myself a bit because my back legs just don't hold me up too well. It's hard to get up and down the stairs, but most of the time I just stay on one floor.
Well I hope you all are doing ok. I love all my dogster pals. Hugs and labby licks from me.
