Happy To Be Here

This place is the best. I have only been here a while and I have already had people asking to be my friend and I joined a group that I was invited to called Sportin' the Spots.

I almost wasn't here though... I am recovering from major surgery right now (I get my stitches out on Monday). I got real sick and couldn't go pee-pee. You guys can't imagine how painful it gets, or how sick you can get when your pee-pee stops working. I didn't know what was going on, but my mom knew that something wasn't right when I couldn't manage to even get a few drops out after several attempts to go. She was scared for me. I was just in agony.

Mom took me to the doctor first thing the next morning and I had to have emergency surgery. My x-rays showed that I had two large stones and they were blocking my uretha. So, my vet (he is WONDERFUL) took good care of me and took them out - he flushed my bladder too and he closed me back up. I had a couple of days where I was very sore and had to stay in the hospital, but alas I was NEVER SO HAPPY when I saw my mommy come to bring me home. My mom showed me one of my stones. Wow. That thing was as big as a marble - and it was the smaller one. The other is at the lab for analysis.

Once I got home, my mommy pampered me and made me very comfy... Since I couldn't clime up in the bed with her just yet, she made her bed beside mine in the floor and she slept with me every night until I could get back in the big bed. She loves me!!!!

I am feeling a lot better now and my mommy says that I have to drink filtered water from now on, and also have to have a very special diet so that I don't have to go through this again. I am all for it... It was no fun.

But, life is wonderful and worth barking for again!
