Confessions of a Barkaholic

Da Very Bad Day

Yesterdays was a very very bad day. It started out pretty good, me and Finley and da mommas were going on a walk. We was walkin' round da elemenary school in da fieldses so me and Finns could run some. And bark da kidses at recess, ok, dat are just me. Anyways, den were was disaster. I was on a loose leash and momma was watchin dis big dog, tryin to see where it was gonna go. She didn't see da pitbull dat was on da other side of us, but I did. I went running and barkin like crazy.

Finley hateses when I bark at da big dogs, especially dapit bulls since she was attackeded by one dat time. When I go all crazy barkin at a big dog, sometimes Finley will start barking and biting at me. And dat happened dis time, we were fighting real fast. Da mommas pulled us apart and we was both spitting out fur. Momma said she thought I got da worst of it because Finley spit out some more hair. Den she looked at Finley's face and it was red. Finley looked so bad and bloody, da mommas were afraid I ripped off a chunk of ear. So we all went home really fast and momma glanced at me, didn't see any blood, and put me in da crate.

Meanwhile, Finley got all cleaned up and was getting all babied. Her ear were not missing, it do have a little wound, but mostly it just bled A LOT. I got left in da crate while da mommas went shopping, dey was not happy with me for tearing up Finn. I even got told to shut up when I was barking.

Den da mommas came home, and I finally gots freed. After going out on yard patrol and barking a threatening looking Halloween windsock across da street, I hopped up on my momma's bed with her. And den my momma screameded. I had a gaping wound on my chest, it was not bleeding, but it was really bad looking.

So off I went to da emergency vet. Dey took me away and made me go to sleeps and when I woke up, I had all dese stitches in my chest along with a drain and a conehead and lots of my beautiful chestal hairs missing. I has got to wear da conehead for 2 weekses and I are not allowed to do no running or jumping. Which means I got to sleep in da crate which are not fair! Finley does not have to sleep in a crate. My momma slept on da floor next to me, or at least she tried to, I woeks her up every 2 hours. I think that are pretty good revenges for her ignoring my suffering for hours while she awwww-poor-doggy-ed Finley and went shopping.

Anyways, yesterday was no fun and I do not think I am gonna get to have fun for a while.

Good thing the vet peeps could fix it up, though.
Too bad about that conehead thing, maybe my growlmy should wear one on her head to make that stinking ache go away, BIOL! Just kidding!

POTP to you, and some good healing thoughts, too!

Oh sweetie I'm sorry to hear about your ouchie. Same with Finley ouchies are no fun.

As for the chest wound not bleeding mine didn't bleed much at all just after it initially happened and then it didn't bleed anymore. So Mommy and I learned chest wounds don't bleed much. Stitches in the chest aren't fun cause, of that darn cone of shame.

Maybe your Mommy can pick you up and put you on the bed for sleepy time.

This is not good news at all. So sorry to hear you are both suffering. Hammy gets mightly excited when he sees a big dog and starts the barking and some time tries to get at me too. Mum keeps us each on a separate arm so she can control us independently. I hope you get better real fast. I know you don't want to miss any of the late year pool ball tournaments. Rest up and get better.

Oh my goodness, we have the same injury.

I know just how you feel. I got staples instead and no drain. I have gone back to the vet twice to have my wound drained.

Don't worry, Whitley, you'll heal quickly.

I hope Finley is okay and that the two of you have made-up.

Get some rest, girl.

You poor baby. I hope your Mommy feels suitably guilty for her lack of care. Be sure and milk it for all the treats you can get!

OH NOOOOO!! Thank goodness everything is repairable and your momma's know what to look out for now. I go nuts on Puffy from time to time and once or twice momma has had to seperate us because she says I am being mean to him. I'd like to think I'm just making sure he knows he did something wrong and that I am teaching him by correcting his behavior.

Maybe your momma's should consider carrying a small air horn during the walks because the loud noise would sure to stop anything in it's tracks.

Milo, I'm concerened about Luna's comments...but since you have always allowed me to be the alpha dog I'm going to ignor her comments for now...

Poor Whitley! But you did get stitches on your chest that the other doggies don't have, you can be a real-life Frankenstein monster for Halloween! How cool is that? I will probably get dressed as a pumpkin or sumfin stoopid......
