Ho hum

I don't have anything exciting to bark about right now, but I see it's been a while since I said anything. So here I am! Maybe I should tell you how my holidays were, since that's at least some noteworthy news.

Mommy, me, grandma and grandpa, and Nikki had a nice Christmas. . . all quiet and with lots of yummy presents from Santa Paws. Mommy says they were from Santa Paws of the Pacific NW, whatever that means. I just know it's all been good. :)

A bit after Christmas, though, Nikki and I got "abandoned" for a couple of days 'cuz the humans all wanted to go somewhere without us. Without us!!! It wasn't so bad to start with. . . we knew the people at the vet, and they were nice. . . but I missed my mommy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grandma and grandpa finally came to get us after what seemed like forever -- really, do you know what 3 days is in dog years? We really were starting not to feel so good, but at least we were HOME. :)

Apparently, our getting all upset is not good for our tummies, though. Mommy took me back home after a couple of days, but we had a bad night. . . all I remember much beyond getting up to go to my box every couple of hours was when I had to throw up and then was too tired to get back up and go to bed. (I don't know why, but I always have to go to my crate to throw up in it. Mommy says that's okay if I feel better there, since it cleans up better than carpet.) But mommy came over when she noticed I wasn't getting back up and picked me up, kept me warm, and snuggled with me until I went back to sleep. We met grandma halfway to Nikki's house and all 3 of us went to the vet. At least we were fine other than just having been really stressed out, so we didn't have to deal with more than just one set of shots. This funny stuff they call Pepto Bismol is nasty, though -- it's not fair that the humans can hold my mouth open and shoot pretty much whatever yucky stuff they want to in there. (I guess it's supposed to be a good thing if our people are putting it in us, but I sure didn't feel like it was.) Grandma took really good care of us all week, and mommy said hi to me from inside the phone every night. (How's she do that? Why doesn't she just come out?)

But we're all better now. :) We got lots of yummy stuff like beef and rice. . . and then also some canned food once we started getting better. And then I started wanting to get sick again in the morning once I was back on my boring old dry pellets, so I got canned food again for a while since at least that agreed with me! Every now and then, mommy will still let me have a little bit of canned stuff 'cuz I like it and she's nice. Thanks, mommy!!!

Oh, mommy says I get some canned food sometimes because the variety seems to keep my system working better so I don't get sick again and so she knows that I really am eating something at least every couple of days. Whatever, mommy.

Anyways, mommy and my grandparents said there's probably no more leaving us at the vet, and even the vet said it probably wasn't good for us. The humans said they'll figure out exactly what to do when they all want to go somewhere again, although they have some leads. Oh, and Mommy says WE GET TO HAVE NIKKI STAY WITH US in a week or so when grandma and grandpa go somewhere for a meeting for a few days. I'm sooooo happy!
