Mom and Pop babysat me and Brylee tonight. We both napped. Most of the time, she makes more noise that I do. I go outside to do my business–she goes right in her pants–ewwww! However, I think she is pretty great and look forward to growing up together as pals.

ImageToday I’m continuing to learn to be brave and patient.  I have been poked, prodded and tested yet they still are not sure what is wrong with me.  I AM better…taking things one day at a time.  I saw Mom this morning and gave her puppy kisses and we went for a short walk.  I’m definitely not back to normal, and plan to be at the hospital through the weekend now, but there is improvement.  Bottom line:  I am one sick fella and just need to be patient with myself and the folks that are trying to help me.  There is a good lesson in that…

Upside?  I have a FANTASTIC vet and staff caring for me!  Dr. Bogue is wrapped around my paw. She even took me home to love on me last night so that I wasn’t kenneled and alone at the hospital.  She said she didn’t want me to have a bad vet experiene so young.  Ahhhhh another sucker for my cuteness!

PS–the cone is just so that I won’t mess with my IV port.

So, my brother was spending the night last night and we had a great time.  I had been looking forward to it alllllll week!  All was perfect until this

morning–I walked out of my kennel and realized that my foot hurt–it hurt a lot.  I have no idea what happened or how I did this, but OUCH!  Mom took me to the doctor and, get this, I broke my TOE!  No big deal, right?  WRONG!  I am growing so fast and the break is on a growth plate soooooo we have to be really careful with it or it can mess up my foot forever.  Greeeeaaaattt!  I wanted to play with Cooper and now I am just zoned out and woozy from the drugs.

Well, glass half full? 1)  I get to lay inside with family 2) If i make a sound my peeps jump up and wait on me hand and foot.  3) All the ladies love a wounded puppy4) It could have been worse.
