Vacationers Skippy & Scooter

My two doggie cousins (Skippy and Scooter) stayed with us for 8 days while their family went on Vacation. I normally am alright with them, especially Skippy, because he likes to play tug with me. HOWEVER,THIS TIME HE PUSHED ME A LITTLE TOO FAR. As I wasn't feeling all that great because of my cyst breaking and making me all Itchie, he grabbed a hold of my back and tried to take a milk-bone from me. I made such a growl and went after him and he didn't want to come by me the rest of the week. After I did it, I apoligized but he wouldn't have any of it. I guess he told his Mommy when she got home, just to see if he would get sme sympathy from her, but she said it had to be Skippy's fault, because he always does this same thing to his brother (Scooter). So, at least my Mommy's daughter felt that I didn't need to apoligize. Wow, I almost lost my Angelic standing.

Yellow doggie

Thank you everyone who has been looking for a new Yellow doggie for me. Here is a posting that I sent out over the pmail when asked if I really had "Yellow" for 11 years.
"I don't actually play with my yellow doggie. I groom him, take him outside with me when I go for my Constitutional several times a day and make sure I have him with me if I am stressed or overly tired or if someone takes out the dreaded vacumn cleaner. At night I then
carry him up to the big bed to go to sleep. In the moring I wake up and do it again, and again and actually have been doing this ever since I got him when I was a baby. He is a little over ripe, at least that's what Mommy says, but she can't really wash him off, because then he wouldn't smell just right to me. I have tons of "toys" to play with, but yellow doggie is my best friend and I would not ever hurt him or put him in harm's way. When I get doggie company, I kindly ask Mommy to put yellow up high so my company dogs won't hurt him either. But I always know where he is. He's my best friend, my up, my down, my bundle of joy. (from Courtship of Eddie's Father.)"

Thank you's are finally now in order

Well, It's finally time for me to write my official Thank You PMail. I have my cast off and my stitches are out. I am still trying my best to keep the Pity going here, but I don't think Mommy's buying it. Even the medicines are gone. But I can still get the Real Ice Cream Please face going. But I do need to do exercisers everyday.
So here goes:
First Than You to All of the Fluffs and their families that sent me encouraging emails. Tucker Max and Sugarbear for turning their legs green for me. For everyfluff who wanted to sign my cast, or sent out the POP for me. For my BFF JR. Angel for watching over me during my surgery and talking me through it and for keeping me company in the crate when I had to stay overnight. And for all of the good wishes that I received. If I fail to mention your name it is due to lack of memory on my Mommy's part. I am innocent.
Next to Chester & Sugar for my Gold Bone and Get Well Card, Then to The Family of Lexi, In Loving Memory, Lulu & Romeo for the Power of the Paw Rosette. To Princess for my Bandaid which kept my leggie covered. To Shasta & Daisy for my Gold Bone. For Mulligan for my cute Ladybug. To Ellie Mae for my Power of the Paw. Breath, breath, breath. Pause for refreshments please.
Resume: To Sonny for my Gold Trophy. To the Family of Charlie, Sam 2002-2008, LouLou de la Labradoodle for my Lips. To Maddie Mae for both my Twirling Pinwheel and my Sunflower. To Ichie & Roxie for my relaxing Candle. To Charlie for my Power of the Paw. To Sugarbear for my Lips and my Daddy's Power of the Paw. To Charlie, LouLou, Angel Sam for my bouncing ball. To Miss Dixie Monroe I.D. 396548 for my Lips and Special Licks to heal me and my Gold Trophy (if you have a chance please stop by her page and see how very patriotic she is. Pretty terrific pictures to honor our men and women in the Military.) I am very proud of her and ask for your POP for her as she has just had another surgery on her leggie too. Her cast is blue.
And finally to my Cousins Skippy & Scooter for my Special Heart and for being so gentle with me when I visited them after my surgery. And to my Cousins Galen (Puff, Puff) & Bad Dog Otis otherwise known as Pizon to some, for my World and my Diamond.
I appreciate every Fluff and their Family for every thought, concern, prayer, humor and all of the Gifties. I hope now that I will continue to get my leggie stronger and stronger and be able to Blitz my Heart Out just like before.
Thank you,
Wuffers,
Sherman, otherwise now known as Scar leg (at least for the time being.)

STITCHES are finally out. HOORAY

Well, the cast is off and the stitches are out. Finally. The only thing is, that I can't move around very well yet. The Doctor said that my first operation that he did in October was still healing, now I have the other one that isn't quite working correctly. Yoy! If the first one isn't healed up yet and that's been 6 months ago, HOWL long is this second one going to take? I have a feeling that maybe I will need to make use of my buggy wheels when I get to the Bash in July. But I have a few offers to ride with me, so I guess it won't be so bad. I'll bring the Vino and the Cheeze and Crackers. Ahhhh, now that's the life. OK, OK, so maybe it will be a bag of Beggin Strips and some water, but we can dream, can't we? Here's hoping that everyone stays healthy and that their families stay healthy just as well. All I really know is that "There's No Place Like Home", and that's going to be my new mantra from now on. No more Vets Housing.
A very special thank you to all of my extended families that prayed and thought of me during my operation and recovery. You are ALL the GREATEST.
Wuffers, Sherman

My Cast is Finally Off

I had my cast taken off today (Friday May 8) and it's not a real pretty site. My leggie looked like a turkey leg on Thanksgiving with red gravy on it. Mostly because I was able to get to it before Mommy got my pants back on after we went outside for my Constitutional. I guess my red beard was a total give a way. And it wasn't spaghetti sauce. Mommy wasn't that impressed with me for making a mess of my leggie. She cleaned me up, checked the stiches put a light bandage around it, even though the Tech said to leave it air out. Mommy then put on my pants but ended taking off the bandage the next morning because it just wouldn't stay were she put it. The adhesive tape that she used hurt more than the Doctor's. I think I need paper tape. I can't put my foot down yet and no weight on it, but it is easier than trying to walk around with the cast on. I am only allowed to walk around for a couple of minutes at a time, for now.
The pictures of my leg are just a little too graphic right now. Maybe next week I'll post one when the open places dries up.
Wuffers,
Unpegged Sherman

Well I'm back-AGAIN

I just got home from the Doctor's after having to stay the night. I had my left hind back leg cruciate ligament repaired yesterday and the Technician told Mommy & Daddy that it would be best if I stayed overnight. They mistook my crying because I was afraid of being in a cage for pain, and so I got a lot of pain medicine. I guess it made me groggy. I was the 5th one that the Doctor did yesterday and it was late afternoon before he got to me. About 3 o'clock, so I was in a cage all day long before the operation and then again after. That's mostly why I was crying. I wanted my Mommy & Daddy to come and get me, but I couldn't even hold my head up.
When they showed up today, I gave them a little "tude" because they left me there all night. The Tech's were nice but not as nice as Mommy, and I had to sleep in a cage and I'm used to sleeping in a King Size bed. What a comedown. It only took a few minutes and they I forgave Mommy & Daddy and was so happy to be held by them again. And what do you think? Mommy whipped out my T-shirt and pants and even put socks on me. I am so glad we went out the side door. There were a couple of BIG fluffs in the waiting room and I'm not sure, but I think I heard them snicker at me. Something about being a wimp. I AM A FASHION PLATE not a wimp. At least I represented the BLC with my T-shirt on.
Right now I need to take a nap and then try and stand up, I forgot how very hard it is to walk on 3 legs and have the other one trip me all the time.
P.S. It's not me crying on my Video. It's my yellow doggie, he missed me so very much.
Thank You all for your support, prayers and prezzies. Me and Mommy and Daddy all appreciate them. Both for me and my Daddy (who is doing GREAT).
Wuffers, Sherman the Jolly Green peg-leg

Talk about embarrassment

I wish everypup could have a Mommy and Daddy like I do because it doesn't matter what I do, it seems like it just cracks them up. Like on Tuesday, I was laying on the floor just minding my own business when Mommy decided that it was time for me to do my exercises for my leg. After we did the exercises I jumped up and had that CRAZY LOOK in my eye. It's called "BLITZIN TIME." Well, the first thing I saw went in my mouth and I started to run around like a nut. The only thing is, that it was a set of stuffed boobies on a string that Daddy got as a gag gift for Christmas from my doggie cousin Galen's owner. So here I was with this stuffed boobie in my mouth and the other one bouncing around like it had a mind of it's own. It reminded Mommy of something called Kerplunkers from the 70's. The string got wound around my leg and I had one in my mouth and the other wrapped around my leg and it kept tripping me. Mommy and Daddy were laughing so hard because I wouldn't stop blitzin and they couldn't catch me. Finally I got tired of this game and just laid down then Mommy grabbed me and said she wished she had a camera because it was the silliest thing I've ever down. I'm just glad we didn't have company, because I have the feeling that maybe I would have been embarrassed, but then again, it was just another day in the life of Sherman.
If anyone should be embarrassed it should have been Daddy for leaving them lay around for me to find. I guess he should get the "boobie" prize for this one.
Wuffers in embarrasment,
Sherman

I've been tagged by Maddie May

Guess what? I got tagged by Maddie May and guess who will be my seven taggies

The rules are simple, just state 7 facts about yourself and then tag 7 pals to continue the fun. Make sure you let them know they've been tagged and to come and read your Diary to copy the rules :)
I have tagged the two of you to learn about your first days with your Mom. Shasta (591426) Daisy (591426)
PD (Petey) (83377) to find out what he thinks about having Kimmie as his sister.
Pearl, (856137) To find out what the baby in the family thinks about.
Sugar (283696), Is she really as sweet as her name?
Snowball (885500) I don't remember hearing from him since I joined the BLC. Maybe he needs invited?
Avery (772712) Where have you been?

My seven things about me.
(1.) I just got my stiches and my casts off and I feel really great. Can't blitz to much, but still feel great
(2.) I think if I saw a mouse in the house or even outside I would faint.
all that fur in your mouth, I think not.
(3.) I have or have had eight doggie cousins and 3 kitty cousins most of whom are all on Dogster.
(4.) I wore very fashionable clothing when I was healing up from my operation. Mom had to cut a hole out of the back for my tail, but otherwise, I was adorable.
(5.) My next door neighbors doggie is my cousin Bocci's sister.
(6.) I can ride in a car for hours and hours and no one even knows I'm there. I take up very little space and am as quiet as a (mouse) there's that word again.
(7.) I adore my Mommy and my Daddy and cry when they leave me home alone so they have to get me a dog sitter.

My Operation Update or Doc please get this turkey off my- back

Went to the Doctor's this past Monday and he FINALLY took out ALL of my stiches. I didn't even cry. The Doctor is so happy about the way my knee healed. I just have one little opening yet that needs to close up. I am supposed to have Mommy do therapy with me a couple times a day, stretching and bending my leg, hip and knee, but as long as I go outside and try a little Blitzin' the Doc said maybe bending and stretching once or twice a day would be alright. I am not up to speed yet, probably another couple of weeks to get used to walking around on it. My hair is coming in really nice (I was a little worried about that) Kojak I'm not and I have to go to the groomers on Monday because I sweat so much wearing clothes everyday since the operation instead of a collar, that I have been subject to a particular odor. Mommy tells everyone that I vacationed at some university called P.U. and she is so happy that I'm OK that She wants to give me a prezzie, something about buying and hanging a deodorizer around my neck. I heard of hanging wreaths for Christmas but deodorizers I don't know. Is that wuv or is that wuv? I can call it something but wuv, I don't know about that. Anyhow, my pictures of my knee after the Doc took off the cast is a little too graphic for the sensitive eyes of the Dogster and BLC Family to be posted on my page, but available up to size 8 X 10 for your holiday purchases. Ha! Ha! or should I say Ho! Ho!? Silly me, good thing they didn't take out my funny bone, where would we be without it?
My leg looked just like a Turkey Leg at Thanksgiving, I know that's more info than you needed. But the Doc also removed the turkey from my back. It seems like I carried him around a little too long as it is. Everytime I looked in the mirror, there he was. Little did I know that it was just a costume that Mommy thought she could slip on me while I was sleeping.
I just wanted to thank all of my puppals and pupgals and their families for all of the good wishes for my health and for all of the prezzies that I received. YOU ALL are the Best Present a pup could receive.
I don't know what else I could say or how I could have made it through this ordeal without The Power of The Paw and Your Friendship. The whole operation may have left me clueless but not wordless. I got a million of them. Words that is, just awaiting a subject.
Wuffers with wuv, Sherman

Operation like the BIG boys

Well, today (November 10 I had to have an operation on my knee like the BIG Football players and German Shephard's and Boxers. Check out my new pictures. I messed up my Cruciate Ligament and the Doctor had to operate and put it back together again. We thought it was just a broken toe or toenail. How wrong were we? Now I have a piece of metal in my leggy and some Cruciate Ligament wire holding me together. I am just like my Daddy now. He had his knee done 2 or 3 years ago, and I remember what that was like. I am still kind of drugged up from the Anesthesia and have to take 3 kinds of medicine every day. Two of them twice a day. Yuck. Mommy is sleeping on the floor with me because I can't stand up yet. And when I have to go outside she has to put a plastic bag on my foot with tape and hold me up. Howl embarassing for both of us. We should do a video on being silly. Mommy in her PJ's and me in my plastic wrap out in the yard all hours of the night.
I go back to the doctor in 7 more days to either get my bandage off or changed and they will see if my sutures can come out. I will have to have some kind of therepy but not sure if Mommy can do it, or if I have to go someplace and have it done. My leg is stiff as a board right now and I really do feel like the Son of A Sea Cook with a fluorescent green peg leg. Mommy is going to try and see if she can put my leg on my site so everyone can sign my green cast. That would be cute.
Well, Thank you ALL for caring about me and praying for my speedy recovery, and I hope that 7 more days comes soon. I need to get back to normal.
Wuffers in wuv,
Sherman (the jolly green footie)
