The Great and Mighty Tinkerbelle (I am not a fairy!)

I have a big Owwwie!

I had to have a surgery last week on my hip! Mama says I have Legge Perthes disease. Sniff! I don't want to have a disease!! But I really like the man who helped me. He's pretty and he smells good too.

Mama says they cut off the ball of my femur. I don't know what that means but I think that if it was my ball, they should have saved it for me to play with. I never have enough of those. Mama says it isn't a squeaker ball, but I don't care. It was mine!

I'm doing very well with my physical therapy. I saw the surgeon that helped me yesterday (I kissed him when he looked at me. Hee Hee!). He said he has never seen such a happy frisky puppy so soon after surgery. He said my mama is doing a good job with my therapy. Well that may be true but it hurts just the same.

Anyway did you know that they make you naked at those hospitals?!?!?!? When I woke up they had stolen the hair from my leg and my butt and I was cold! Mama makes sure I have PJs for nightime and a blanket to snuggle during the day. She loves me!

I'm getting better and better. Yesterday I scared my mama 'cause I jumped off the couch. I thought it was fun but she squeaked. Ever heard a mama squeak? It sounds funny. Silly mama.

Gotta go eat lunch while mama is still here. She has to go back to work soon.

Bye Diary ( I love you better than the surgeon but not as much as mama)
