My Charmed Life by Josey Posey

Drat!

So, I kind of sat funny on Friday and it didn't really get any better. Daddy took me to the vet on Saturday morning, and as usual, Mr Vet decided to keep me for a while. He gave me enough anaesthetic to down a cow and took me for x-rays.

:0( I would have sat still if he asked me.

Anyway, Mummy and Daddy came back on Saturday evening, not looking too happy. I felt really woozy and walked into a couple of things on the way to the car.

Oh, and I weigh 40kgs now. I'm big!

Anyway, it turns out I have grades 2 and 3 hip dysplasia. I'm really, really young. In fact, the vet said I'm two years old, and I'm actually 2-and-a-half!!! Pooh. That really sucks.

Not sure how it's going to play out now. Mummy and Daddy sat me on the sofa last night with a blanket over to keep me warm. That felt nice.

Mummy says she is going to take me for light walks, massage me, keep me warm and definitely keep me a slim and slender as I am right now. The parents are also going to build a fence to stop me from getting to the front gate (:0((((() as they say it's better that I don't prowl and hop up and down all day as people walk by. As a last resort (and I do hope it is a last resort) they said I can go for hydro-therapy. Mummy said she'd get me a hip replacement, but that made Daddy shout at her.

Oh well... these pain killers make me woozy, I'm off back to sleep.

Long time no woof

Hey. It's been a long, long while. Mum's been miserable lately, which is fine actually. It means she just wants to lie down and cuddle us all the time. This morning, I jumped onto the bed and lay on Dad's pillow and licked her awake. She seemed to like that - she smiled and giggled and told me I'm beautiful and she loves me. :)

Sunday, 10th October. Almost 9 months old!

Yawn. Life is good. Mummy adores me, Daddy fed me a hoof with peanut butter on. Yummy.

Dad and Mum decided they didn't like the front lawn, so they now have a huge hole there!!! Eeek! I would hate to see the puppy who dug that hole.

I love my Mummy. I love my Daddy.

My little sister Molly irritates me. First she growls at me all day, then she tries to hug Mummy. No worries, I'll just lick Mummy to death and prove to her who loves her most.
