a short dogs world

Been a While

Good Morning.

Thought I would check in since it's been a while. My mom had surgery so typing for me wasn't high n her priority list. But she has some time before she heads out to the gym so she said we could update my diary.

It's been a great summer, we've had lots of fun hanging outside chasing critters. Elwood even caught a baby bird the other day. He's a hunting dog and Mom says hunting dogs have soft mouths so the baby didn't get hurt. But boy was the mommy bird mad. She kept dive bombing Elwood! When mom told him to put it down he did and the baby was so scared that it sat frozen, so I got to sniff it. That was pretty fun.

Elwood has been going to the cabin a lot with daddy, so we've had lots of mommy and me time. We hang out on the deck, play with the sticks, and I get to ride in the convertible. Riding in the convertible is the best. We like to go on road trips to no where; just drive around for an hour or so. I like it when Elwood is gone, I get to be king of the house for a little while.

Mommy's sick

Daddy told us today that mommy has to have her gallbladder out. I'm not sure what that is but Daddy said it's no big deal. She'll have to go away for a few days to a hospital and then when she comes back she'll be as good as new. I like that idea. Plus she won't have to work for about a week after so she can hang out with me and Elwood.

I decided that I'm such a big boy now that I can choose when I want to eat and I can tell you it's not on Elwood's schedule. I've been eating my breakfast at about 10:30 instead of at 6 or 7 when mommy feeds us. I'm starting to like my dinner at around 10 pm too. Since I'm a big boy I can stay up later now so I think dinner at 10 is good. Mommy's worried that I'm sick and posted a question to the answers board to get everyone's opinion. Dad thinks I'm just want to be in charge of something since they have so many rules for me: sit, stay, heal, don't bark at the neighbor kid, etc.

Hmmm....

Mom has to go to the hospital for some tests today.

I'm really worried.

I think I'll sit in the front window and just wait for her
