Life According To Murphy

Prednisone Disaster

Alright, so it's been a few months since they made up another blog. But that's okay. Not like we have fans.

Anyway, my recent troubles have been flea allergies. I had to go to the vet and get prescribed a low dose of prednisone. It made most of my itching disappear and everything seemed to be going great. Well, that is until the side-effects took hold.

Mom found out I had been urinating in the bathroom and drinking a lot of water. She was worried for a little while but thought it might have been a fluke. The next day, she found more, not like I could help myself. Well, finally she stopped having me take my medicine and when mom and dad went to pick up our heartworm meds, she asked about the medication I was on and found out it was the medicine and was relieved. She thought I was having some sort of kidney problem.

That's about it for now. Oh, as for the fireworks, I didn't think they were scary -- Bebop is just a sissy.

Woof.

Outdoor Adventures

I'm so glad, mom's been taking me out for 30 minute walks nearly every morning. I missed those alot when the cold weather, snow, and sleet hit. It's just been too cold before to go for walks.

I'm still not allowed to sniff at the rats. Mom and dad are scared that I'll try to eat them since I'm so tense when they're out. They say my whole body language changes drastically. I go from being mellow to tense and on the edge.

Woof.

Sweaters and Parties

Today was Bebop's first birthday party. Mom and dad went all out for it too. They got her a cake, presents, birthday hats, and even balloons. She really hates the balloons though, she ran around growling at those.

We both got these huge bones! They're called mammoth bones, and they're so meaty and yummy. Anyway, we wore the hats and played the birthday party charade, and the cake. The cake was so good. I wish we could get some more. They got the cake from a downtown store called Bark N Bites.

Also, a few days ago mom and dad got me a Christmas Sweater. It's wool and has a cap attached to it. Then after getting my sweater, I had to go to the vets to get a bump on my ear looked at. We still don't know what it is, but the doctor said it should clear up. I hope so.
