The Animal Hospital

Last night was the scariest night of my life. Mommy said it was the scariest night of her life too. Let me start my story yesterday. I was outside eatin some stuffs. I remember feelin sick and throwing up everythings in my stomach but I still felt sick so I decided to take a nice long nap.

When mommy got home from her studies I came over to say hi to her like always but I wasnt myself. I kept falling over and losing my balance. At first she thought I was still sleepies but then I sat down and just started swayin back an forth where I was sittin. Mommy says I was drooling and not looking at her right either so she grabbed me and my leash and ran me to the car. We have never left in such a hurry.

We stopped at a vets office and they took my tempyture (you dont wanna know how they did it either) and says to mommy that its low. They musta told mommy something else 'cause next thing I know were back in the car. It was a long ride and I kept fallin asleep then wakin up then fallin asleep again. The whole ride mommy was on her phone callin peoples and crying. She kept saying, "Hang in there baby, we will get you better".

Finally we got to another vets office and the doctor listened to my lungs and belly and make me walk some more, an I kept fallin to the side and losing balance. She said I looked drunk! Then the most horriblest thing happened.... the doctor took me from my mommy.

Mommy doesnt know this but the worst parts happened after she left. The doctor stuck needles in my legs an they taped em there and wouldnt let me take em out. Some of the needles took my blood away from me and other needles were putting water into my body! I was at this scary place all night long and mommy kept calling all night to check on me. (We arent used to sleeping apart, we normally cuddle!). Well I knew I had to do something to get away from this place so I tried to make the peoples happy. When they took me outside I tried to walk as straight as I could and I made poopies for them and they liked it! I made sure that they told mommy about the poopies on the phone.

Well just as I was thinkin I was gonna end up a hotdog things got better. In the morning they made me chicken for breakfast! And then the bestest thing happened... mommy came back! We were so happy to see each other. I said, "Mommy look! They shaved off my furs on my leg.... an an and they stuck needles in me! Look! You can see blood on my furs that are left!" Mommy felt really bad so she bought me a new toy and a new collar today and washed my legs clean when we got home. So I think Im all better but theres good news and bad news... the good news is mommy HAS to feed me boiled chicken, rice, and cottage cheese for 2 whole weeks!!! The bad news is no more eatin strange plants or mushrooms in the yard :(

Making Mommy Proud

Big news world! If you are from the north like me (Ohio), then you can join me in saying today was a beautiful break from the frigid past few months. Well mommy kept her eye on the weather and since today was the only warm one for quite some time, she made big plans behind my back.

Mommy came home from the park or the vet (or wherever she goes) and let me out of my crate. BUT instead of taking me to my puppy potty pad by the door, she put on my harness that I just learned to walk in, without my sweater, and took me OUTSIDE! There we were... me and mommy and Dillon and Dodge and Meeka! Im a big dog!

Then I realized... I still hadnt gone potty, and I had been in my crate all morning. I looked around and didnt see any puppy pads. I didnt wanna disappoint mommy but I had to go, so I did, right in the grass. But mommy didnt yell at me! She said GOOD GIRL, GOOD GIRL, GOOD GIRL!! Yay! Im allowed to go potty outside! I think Im onto something... and mommy says shes proud of me :)

Piggy pug

Mommy says that I am growing up. My legs are getting long and my tail is getting curlier and my feets are getting bigger! Now I always eat every bite in my dish... mommy calls me a pig. I thought I was a pug! Or was it chug?

Well anywhow, now that Im becoming a big girl mommy isnt so darn worried about me, so she lets me play with the big dogs. I play chase with Dodge and Dakota (mommys brother has a puggle named Dakota). I play attack with Meeka and her big ears and long tail are perfect to chew on but mommy yells at me. Sometime I bark at Dillon too and jump in his bed to get him to play but mommy says no!

Every 5 minutes whether I am sleeping or playing or eating, there is a flash and mommy says, "awe what a cute picture!" There must be at least 349,811,672 of these pictures!!! Mommy says its because Im growing so fast and she wants to remembr every minute!

What a busy day!

Yesterday morning mommy woke me up for a change (I normally wake her up with kisses but she picked me up and plopped me on my potty pad and said "lets go!") I chose a more plush area and ran there instead. Then mommy tried to feed me breakfast but I wasnt hungry yet, I was still sleepy! She disapeered for a long time and came back looking like she does when we are going someplace. Then we were off!

From inside my carseat bag I couldnt tell where we were going but when we arrived there were all sorts of new sounds and lots of new doggy voices! When mommy let me out of my bag I was on top of a cold counter! I took down my curl and whipped out my best puppy eyes but mommy didnt hold me... instead a strange man did. I gave him some kisses to show him I was friendly but that didnt stop the incident that followed. Before a knew it something sharp bit my butt! I screamed "owwwww!" Then, as if that wasnt enough, the man grabbed my little feet and cut the ends off my scratchers! I tried not to fight too much but I couldnt hold back a little cry. When it was all over the man acted like we were friends again so I gave him another kiss. I'll give him one more chance because I really like friends!

When mommy put me back in my bag I decided it was time for a nap! Luckily the next place I saw was home. I took a nap next to mommy while she brought out her collection of papers. These are special papers, not potty papers, and definitely not chewy papers or I get in big trouble. I dunno what the fuss is about.

After my nap I remembered that I forgot to eat breakfast and so mommy made me a fresh lunch. Then my boyfriend, a puggle named Dakota (we call him Kota) came over to play. He is only 3 weeks older than me but much bigger! This scares mommy so she always watches me closely when we play but I show her I am brave! Even when he knocks me down I do not cry! I wanted to play more but Dodge and Kota started getting ruff so mommy took me to my play pen : ( Boys... pfft!

I think I may have fallen asleep in another nap. Then it was back in my bag! Where now?!

Mommy took me to a tiny house with lots of new smells and 2 new peoples. She was happy to see them and they immediately adored me all over with pets and pats and kisses! I liked these girls! We started a game of purple elephant and pink poodle then before I knew, mommy was gone!

The next time I saw mommy she was waking me up from my nap. "Did you have fun?" she kept asking. My friends showed her how cute we looked on their flashy little machine that captures images. Mommy says Im "photogenic". I think thats good so I gave her kisses.

Then.... in my bag again! We must be going home I thought. But nope!

Mommy took me in a new house with new smells and new friends. She said, "This will be our new home someday! These will be your new roomates!" She kept me in my bag and some big dogs came over and we smelled each other through the netting. One of them let out a big bark that scared me! After the sniffing stopped mommy took me out and let me walk around with the big dogs! One was Grey and one was Bella. I dunno what kind of dogs they were but they were big like my big brother Dillon! That didnt scare me though... someday Im going to be big too. Mommy doesnt think so, but I do because I eat lots!

I walked around to sniff out the house and Grey and Bella followed me everywhere. Im popular! Then mommy took me upstairs and I met a long little dog named Peanut! He looked like a lot of fun! But mommy didnt let us play.. it was finally time to go home!

When we got back to our house mommy said I was "such a good girl!" She gave me a treat and my dinner and then I felt so much energy! Mommy took down the gates of my play pen and I ran around the entire house with Dodge! The kitty smacked me 5 times because he says "no running in the house" but Im not scared of him! Mommy says hes just a "crabby old cat". I played with yellow duck, green frog, colored rope, pink ball, jingle ball, pink duck, green turtle, and I rearranged my potty pads but mommy said no!

Then I found the jungle gym in the dining room with all these little bars you can crawl under and jump over... well that was soooooo much fun I went crazy! Over and under and under and over and under and under and over and over! I yelled and screamed and hopped and crawled and laughed and crawled and yelled and hopped! Dodge tried to follow me but hes too big! Then I attacked the jungle gym bars but mommy yelled "no biting chairs!" so I bit the carpet instead. Then mommy called my name, "Chelsie! Chelsie!" She wanted to play! She ran around the house calling me and I ran after her! We played with all our toys again and then it was finally bedtime!

Then I suprised mommy this morning by waking up early so we could play some more! Mommy said, "youre just insane!" and made me write this blog to prove just how fun I am! I hope today is just as much fun!
