I went to the Vet

I do not mind going to the Vet. I get to meet new animals and peoples. I love everyone! What I do not like is all of the medicines I am on and the fact I now have to be penned, I can no longer romp and play all of the time :( .

I at 16 months am already showing lameness in both hips and both shoulders. I must stay slim, I am at 75lbs., and can run and play some, but especially for the next 2 weeks must either be in the house or in the pen only. After that supervised playing, running and only short allowances of roaming. I also have to take gluecosamine, omega 3, and vitamin C everyday.

Mommy has never allowed me to really jump since she has had me, but I love to run and romp when I play and go in the woods. I also keep getting ticks from the woods and have to keep being sprayed with Frontline as the tubes do not work for me and all of my hair BOL. I am on pills for 10 days in case I have inflammation from the ticks. Mommy keeps the yard sprayed down, but I am always off in the woods looking for old bones to bring home and checking MY property! :)

Mommy says I must stay close anyway to help care for MY kitten I found. Y'all must go by and visit her she is such a baby (7 weeks/1.07 lbs). There are pictures of us on her page.

Time for a nap. Bark at y'all soon!

OK, now what?

Today my dawgie niece Dallas has gone home. Now I do not know what to do with myself. I have had so much fun playing and running with her. I had a blast with Dallas's daddy too while Mommy was gone for a week with that brat Pepper. Sister took my room over when they got here and kicked me out! I had to sleep in the hall! The nerve. In two weeks they will be back and I will also get to meet MY Daddy for the first time in two weeks. Mommy says he will love me but I must be on my best behavior, whatever that means. BOL! I guess I will go and try and nap before I find something to get into!

I'm in T R O U B L E!

I chewed the corners of the fouton matress. Mommy is HISSED. Even more hissed than when I chewed all of the pillows. She said I blew it this time and my room is now the laundry room. She thought she had finally gotten the spare room puppy proofed after I had chewed and broken about all I could chew and break. I have lots of dog toys and bones plus my flowerpot and my cat bed, and my bird house, my pair of shoes, my toy box, my football, and sticks.

Mommy took the little cat carrier from me she uses for the guinea pig, the broom, the small table, the lawn mower cover, a blanket, her shoes, her purse, and the phone book. She just won't let me have any fun.

Mommy brings me in between 9 and 10 at night and closes Pepper's cat door, for the night. This way the deer and critters are free to come and eat. She puts a gate up at the hall and I have my room, the hall, and her room. I am not allowed in the bathroom. I sleep in my room and wake Mommy up in the morning when it is time to go outside usually from 5:30 to 7:30am.

We shall see how this goes.
