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

Today 27 January 2007

Wow, this is my first day on Dogster. I have lots of friends who are on here but I never had my very own page. Now I have to find them all and invite them to come see me.

I'm really excited. I wish my brother could see my page. He was so proud of the way I've been learning how to please my person. He called her Mama. I don't call her anything yet but I'm thinking of calling her Mama too 'cause that's what my big brother did and he was awfully cool.

He went over the Rainbow Bridge without me and I sure miss him. But I'm taking good care of his mama and all his toys. Sigh!

Well, I gotta go. I have to get busy finding all my friends.

Bye diary.

Well I had to have a bath today. I really don't like them, but I try to be good for Indy's mama. I chewed on a bully stick this morning that I found in the bedroom garbage can and she said, "Tink, you stink!" But it was worth it, 'cause she's been snuggling me all day saying how nice I smell and how much she loves me. Hmmm. Wonder if I can find any more of those bully stick thingies.

But, I learned a really bad trick this week and Indy's mama is not happy about it one little bit. In fact I'm doing it right now. BARKING! It's so much fun. What a weird sound it makes. And she looks at me right away and comes over and talks to me. But this afternoon after she was fussin' on her computer she came in the room with a squirt bottle and every time I barked, she squirted me with cold water. I did not like that one little bit. That made me mighty mad! I growled at her and it made her very sad.

But other than that, it's been a pretty good week. Indy's mama was home part of the day Thursday and Friday because she has pneumonia (whatever that is) and she couldn't go to work the whole day. She keeps making this horrible sound from her mouth. But I liked it that she was home with me. We cuddled and snuggled and I gave her lots and lots of kisses all over her face.

OK everybody. I just made an important decision. I've been thinking about it for a long time now, and I just have to do it. Indy's mama is going to be my mama too. Since Indy is gone now, I think it's my responsibility to take care of her and be her little girl. I know I have an attitude problem, but I really do love her alot and she is awfully good to me. So that's it then. If she reads my diary (And all mama's do - don't let them fool you) she'll see.

Well, it's been a long day and I'm tired and so is mama. We're gonna go to bed now. Maybe I'll write some more pretty soon.

Hey, did you see all my new pals? Aren't they great? I'm glad to be getting some friends.

Good night diary,
Love Tinkerbelle

February 17, 2007 Oh Boy Am I in Trouble Now!

I think I am in danger of losing my recently found happy home. I did a TERRIBLE thing today. At least that's what mama said. Iwas just trying to make the carpet smell like me.

Mama put this loud machine thing on it that made it all wet and smelling like flowers or something. I couldn't find mama's or my scent anywhere. It was very scary. So I pooped in the middle of the dining room and then I rolled in it to get it all over so it would smell like me. I thought it smelled pretty nice.

Mama yelled at me and said I was a bad girl and made me go in the shower with her to wash off all the good stuff. She was dripping water from her eyes and making puppy sounds. It made me want to lick her face. But she didn't want me to.

So now, when I'm not beside her, she makes me stay in my crate. She said she can't trust me anymore. I think that must be bad. But she told me it was all her fault. She should have put me in my crate while she was putting that machine on the carpet instead of letting me sit in my house (bed). I don't know what that means, except that I've been banned from the living room now.

She went out for awhile and when she came back she had a great big box with her. I thought it was for me but when she opened it, there was a bigger machine in it. She said "This better take care of the problem." I hope she doesn't mean me! I'm staying away from that box.

Last Friday I was just playing and trying to get to the kitchen before mama did. She didn't come fast enough and so I turned around to tell her to hurry up, and she tripped over me!

She didn't hurt me, but she fell and hit her head on the table. Her friends came and took us away to a smelly place. I had to stay in the blanket and be quiet. And when we came home, I had to stay in my crate all weekend.

This week, she got cards, and tea, and a mug, and a pecan pie from her other friends. I didn't get anything.

March 02, 2007 - Last night for the first time, I decided to lay on mama. She seemed to like that 'cause she snuggled me and gave me kisses. I think I'll do it again soon.

Guess what else! My baby teeth are falling out. I was trying to eat them and mama took them away. Last night she gave me crushed ice 'cause my mouth was hurting me alot. I got 6 ice cubes. Mama said today she is going to buy some popcicles. I hope they taste as good as ice cubes, 'cause I liked those alot.

That's all for now diary. Talk to you later.
Love,
Tink

Hi diary!! My mom hasn't had time to let me get on here for awhile. She is making my skin-sister's bridesmaids dresses 'cause my skin-sister is getting married next month! She won't be coming home much anymore and I'm gonna miss her giving me tons of kisses and snuggles. Sigh!

I had alot of fun this weekend because my mama's granddaughters came to visit and they really really played with me lots and lots and lots. I'm actually pretty tired. Pant Pant.......

My mama took away my favorite food cause there was something bad in it. I didn't taste anything bad. It smelled good too. I don't understand. Now I have to eat a different kind. It's lamb instead of chicken. Goodness sakes alive! Mama said she would explain it to me one day. She said lots of furbabies had to have a different kind of food. Oh well.

It was nice talking with you dear diary. I'll try to come back soon if mama has time. Bye darling little diary.

Love,
Tink

Hi everyone! I'm back. I stayed with mama's friend Heidi while she went to Texas to my skin-sister's graduation from University on May 12. Then my skin-sister got married on May 19. My mama was gone for almost 2 weeks. I liked staying with Heidi, cause she has a Westie named Polly and we played alot. Well, I played alot and Polly let me jump on her. She's kind of old (eleven) but she was good to me.

But, I'm awfully glad mama's home now. My hip has been hurting since she left and I didn't know what to do about it except hold it up so I didn't have to walk on it. She took me to my vet last week and he made me go to sleep. I don't know why but mama said it was for a good reason. This week she took me to a new vet. It was a really cool place. The lady got down on the floor with me and looked in my mouth and up my tail! That was embarassing for goodness sake. Mama said it was OK for the lady to do that but I sure didn't think much of it. Then the vet came in and played with my legs and my hip. He made it hurt alot and I cried. But he petted me and held me close to his shoulder and told me he would make it all better.

So, mama told me tonight that I am going to that place again on Tuesday morning and they are going to give me a shot to make me sleep again like before and when I wake up, my leg will be very sore and the fur will be all gone and I won't feel very well. She said she is sorry that I have to go through this but that it will make me all better soon. She said I have something called hip dysplasia, whatever that is. I know it costs lots of money to have my hip fixed 'cause she sat down at the table with her bills and the checkbook last night and kept rubbing her forehead. She does that whenever she has to spend alot of money and it's a surprise.

I'm glad she loves me so much. I'm pretty lucky to have my mommy. She kisses me on the head all the time and says she's lucky to have me to love. I guess that means we're lucky to have each other!

It's time for me to go to bed so I'll talk to you soon diary. Good night.

Love,
Tink

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)

Hi, I'm back.

Hi Diary.

I was sick for awhile and my mama didn't feel like adding anything to my diary. (You do understanddon't you that although I talk big, I really don't know how to use the computer. My mama does that for me, but SHHH.)

In July, I got a bad disease called histoplasmosis and I was in hospital for a week or so and had to be boarded at the vets for 3 days after that. I almost went over the rainbow bridge to see my brother but lots of people prayed for me and I got better. I have had seizures every day since I got sick and I had to take medicine for them. But the med was making me very sick. So my vet said not to give it to me anymore and just see how I did. My mama prayed really hard and I haven't had a seizure for 3 days and nights now. (Tink doesn't know, but the vet thought she would die pretty soon without the medicine. But she couldn't have it anymore cause it was destroying her liver and kidneys.)

My mama loves me lots cause she snuggled me and came to visit me every day and talked to me and petted me. I couldn't tell her, but I was awfully glad she loved me so much. Now I just lick her alot.

My leg is doing very well. I can run and walk just fine on it. I can climb up on the back of the big green chair in the living room too. Sometimes I jump off but it scares mama so I try to do it when she's not watching. ( Hee Hee!)

My mama put some new pictures of me here with my new clothes. You should go see them. They are really pretty.

By for now diary. I have to go take a nap.

Love,
Tink

Hi Dairy,

It's been awhile since I talked to you diary. I've been trying to get all better. I still have seizures, but not so many anymore. I had to go on a different medicine cause the seizures didn't go away after all. But I'm doing pretty good.

My skin sister came to visit last week and brought her puppy Maya to visit too. I love Maya. She is so much fun to play with. She is a Morkie - part Yorkie and part Maltese. She has as much energy as I do! But she has a very bad habit - she bites. It hurts and makes holes in my T shirts and PJs. But I love her anyway. I was very sad when she went home. I sat on mommy's bed and howled the next morning cause I couldn't find them anywhere.

Tonight I found some of her food under the washing machine and I barked until my mommy got down on the floor and scooted it out with a yard stick! Then I ate it in honor of Maya the Morkie pup!

Well, it's time for bed. Mommy is yawning. Night Night diary. Talk to you again later.

Love Tinkerbelle
