Almost Completely Healed-My ACL Surgery

I have a couple of more weeks to go before my ACL surgery is completely healed. I'm not allowed to jump anymore, which is very difficult. My mom never realized how much I used to jump. My mom is so happy that I'm not in pain anymore!!

My Birthday!

Now I am seven years old! The years have gone by very quickly! Just the other day I was a little tiny puppy! In my family, I'm the oldest dog! Yikes! Originally, I was the baby of the family! What happened?!

I'm going to be celebrating my birthday this weekend. My mom will be making a cake, but it is going to be a human cake! Hmph! I did get a special variety of Merrick's dog food can today though, and some pieces of chicken! I LOVE food! Next time I go to my Granny's house, we will stop at the dog bakery for my favorite meatball treats!

As for presents, my mom is going to be ordering me a special pendant for my collar! It's a Q-Link! They sell them for humans and pets. My mom wears one. She isn't sure it's as helpful as they claim, but she thinks sleep-wise, that it's helping her. So, for that reason alone, she is buying me a Q-Link for pets. I'll report back in my diary when I receive it, and then again after I wear it for a while to tell you all if it seems helpful.

This weekend, I will also be going for my special birthday ride! Next to eating, I love car rides!

I also want to thank everyone for my birthday presents and birthday wishes! I LOVE birthdays!

I Have A Couple of Pulled Ligaments!

Well I pulled a couple of ligaments in my leg! That's why it hurts so much! I'm on painkillers, and the doctor says I have to stay calm and quiet for the next few weeks! Hopefully after that I'll be as good as new.

My X-rays showed I had a bit of arthritis in my hips; that isn't causing my problem though. My spine is in good condition. So are my kneecaps, which often can cause a lot of problems for my breed. Apparently, my leg should show improvement in a week. In the meantime I will be taking short walks, and riding in my camo stroller.

Thank you for all the emails, presents, prayers, and well wishes!

Going for X-rays Tomorrow!

I hurt my leg in an incident a few days ago when a little loose dog came running towards me and my sister Halo. It was okay the following day, but yesterday somehow my leg got worse. I dont reslly know if it is related to the same injury for certain, but it is the same leg. My vet told my mom to bring me back to the office tomorrow morning for X-rays, since I was too nervous and tense. I'll have to be put under anesthesia.

I'll post back an update soon. In the meantime, everyone be careful and take care.

Cold New Year!

During the summer, I moved to a new neighborhood! Now that it's winter, it has been colder here than where I used to live. I'm still in California, but last week for the first time in my life ( I am six years old), I saw snow! I was out walking with my mom like always. Then suddenly the snow started falling!! It made my eyes go, blink, blink, blink!! I wonder if Doggles work for snow?

This week, the snow melted away, but I still have to wear sweaters and jackets when I go out for walks. My mom is hoping to knit me a new sweater, since I am just not used to the weather being so cold!

Well stay warm everyone!! And if you are a long-haired dog or cat, I'm very envious of you!

Happy New Year!

Went For a Drive to Pick Up Food for Kitty Boy!

Well today I went for a drive to the vet in the big pickup truck! I am not sick. I went with my mom and human brother to go pick up some special food for my brother cat Apollo! I love going to the vet when I'm not sick. Recently we have been going to the vet a lot, because kitty boy is finicky, which means he hates all the prescription diet cat foods! So, maybe I'll be going for another drive there next week!

Crazy Week!

I have been having a crazy week! I have a cracked tooth, and I have a new little sister!

Tomorrow, Saturday morning, I'm going to the vet! I am probably going to need surgery. This is a new vet for me too, because I moved to a new neighborhood. I hope this doctor is very good. If not then mom will pass on the surgery and drive me to my old vet.

Now my new little sister came yesterday. She is supposed to be given time to herself to settle in because she is afraid of me, Halo , & Apollo. She is a Chihuahua mixed with Yorkie. She looks like a chihuahua with crazy wild hair! I am a little jealous when I see my mom take care of her, and I also want to meet her!
Her name is Pegasus.

Talk to you all later.

Pimp My Ride Pix & Video!

I finally put a picture & video of my new jogging stroller on my page! I wanted to apologize for taking so long; we have had a lot going on recently. I will take more soon, as it isn't completely finished, but it will give you an idea of what it looks like.

My stroller has a pedometer (strollometer) so that way I know how far and how fast I am going! I will try not to pass the speed limit! It also displays the time & temperature! My stroller also has Hello Kitty accessories, and it has crystals!

I LOVE my stroller!! Mainly I am using my stroller so I can go inline skating with my mom! Also, I'm very good at walking next to my stroller, in case my little Chi sister needs to borrow it during long walks. She gets tired very quickly. Me, I have very good endurance.

Well, I hope you enjoy the picture & video!

New Jogging Stroller!! Can You Say, "Pimp My Ride?!!"

I have a new jogging stroller. It is the first one I have every had! My mom is going to take me inline skating with her!! She was originally going to just have me run beside her, but even though I am a big Chihuahua, I am still a small dog. Mom's inlines are very big and heavy. She is afraid to run over & hurt me. So that is why I will be in the stroller!! I have never ridden in a stroller before. I'm used to being a walking girl, and I am very good at walking; I even have a dog pedometer!!

It will be interesting to see how I do riding in the stroller. I will go in it after my mom takes me for a walk, so that way I still get my exercise. We'll see if my mom can hang going for a walk first, and then strapping on her inlines. BOL!!

My stroller is currently under construction. My mom is decorating it! It will be a Hello Kitty stroller. When my mom is finished decorating it, I'll post a picture. My family calls it the "Combat Buggy," because it is camouflage print.

Hopefully the cold and rain will go away soon, so I can start practicing with my mom! If for some reason I don't like riding in the stroller, it will go to my brother cat, Apollo Cream, who loves strolling. He is stroller obsessed. All I can say is, I hope Apollo likes Hello Kitty and won't mind that his license plate will read, "VIP-Very Important Princess!" BOL!!!

Well, I hope everyone is having fun, keeping warm, and staying healthy!!!

Our Electricity was Shut Off Last Night!

Last night our electricity was shut off due to the storms. It was very very cold all day and night!! The electricity was just repaired right now!! We were so happy, because the electric company told my mom it wouldn't be turned back on until perhaps tomorrow after noon!!

My sister Halo was unhappy all day & night. She was wearing her Thundershirt, which helped, but she was still stresssed!! Halo doesnt like change. She wants the world to stay exactly the same every day. So when there is a big change, she freaks out! I was a bit confused over the whole incident, but I am better at dealing with change than Halo.

Our house is warming up now! Hopefully the storm will stop soon. It is causing so many problems!!

Take care everyone and stay warm!!
