Where Have My People Gone To?

Ok, life is still great. I still get my meals on time, and treats on the side. (Keep the carrots coming, Mom!) But something has happened. My people are not here all the time like they should be!

When they leave they tell me I'm in charge, which means I should keep the cats from sharpening their claws on the couch, and to bark real nasty if someone knocks on the door. I like being in charge, but I like the people being home more.

Maybe they should take me with them?

Another Trip to the Bad Place

Went to that bad place again today. I kept telling my humans that I was ready to go, but they made me stay. Then that vet man poked at my eye over and over.

Now they're talking about going to ANOTHER vet man who will do something to my eye, and I will be able to see again! That just might be worthwhile! Though Mom says she'll have to work "major money magic" to get that to happen. I guess messing with eyes is expensive.

I sure was happy to come back home.

The Year That Was

I had some big changes this year;

Mom started feeding me all kinds of good "yummies" like beef ribs (my favorite), beef feet, chicken, salmon, eggs, cottage cheese, liver... ::drooling:: I'm getting hungry! And I know about the super-big bone she has in the freezer for me- I can't wait for it to get warmer so I can have it!

I went to the vet, which was super-scary. He gave me a shot which made me sleepy, and I woke up without an eye. I sure am glad not to have that awful pain anymore. And I'll tell you a secret- I get more treats now, and mom lets me sleep on the bed (even though I shed everywhere)!

I just found out today that there's a cat who needs a home. He's going to come live with us so he doesn't have to be put to sleep. Maybe he'll play with Gary so he'll stop pouncing on me!(I like cats as long as they don't interrupt my naptime.)

Yup, life is good for an old girl like me.
