Life With Duce

What a Weekend

Boy what a frantic past two days it's been!!! First of all Mommy had to take me to the dogter yesterday cause my nose was bleeding. Well the dogter checked me out and decided that I needed to have a scope stuck up my nose to see what was going on. Well it turns out that I have a growth in my nose so the dogter took some samples of it to find out what it is. But anyway while I was under the dogter and Mommy decided that I should go ahead and have my teeth cleaned. Which has to be a good thing since stinky breath seems to be curse of nature for us old pups!!! But anyway Mommy came to pick me up yesterday and I ended up having to stay the night at the doggie hospital cause I got all excited to see her and my nose started bleeding again. The dogter said that it would probably be better to leave me overnight so that I could stay calm and get some rest. Well this morning Mommy was getting ready to come get me and the dogter called her to tell her that he wanted me to stay in the hospital for the rest of the weekend. See my red blood count was really low and that was causing my nose to keep bleeding and not to clot. So the dogter told Mommy that he was going to give me a transfusion so my red count would go up and that hopefully by doing that my blood will start to clot and no more bloody nose. Boy what a bunch to go through just for a bloody nose!!!!!
And I want to give a Big Birthday Bark to my little Brother Spencer!!! Even though you are not with us we miss you bunches!!!
