Table work....minus the cone!!!

Well... mom took my cone off for a little while.....and she was working her business on the computer. I was glad to hold still...because she said if I chewed on my leg...I would have to put the cone back on. It was great to just relax without it for a couple of hours. Mom...then said we were going to do a little table work. I did really well tonight on the table...but I forgot to put my tail up. Mom was really happy that I would stand there by myself!!! So I guess I am getting a little better!!!

Surprise for mom!

Well, I came home from the Doctor with a surprise for mom. I got a Vemma Orange CAST!!! Mom called the doctor..and now they have it in my chart that I only get pink!! Although orange is the color for my moms business.... I am her pink girl. I also got a nasty plastic cone. I am ready to bite someone!!!

I didn't have stitches after all. The doctor did everything inside so my scar wouldn't show at the dog shows....he put glue on my leg instead!!

Next week I get the hard cast off and go to a soft one..... then the week after...I just get my plain leg.

Mom says that I have to be still for two weeks after that...and then I can swim!!!

I have my PIG!!!

Well... I am finally home....but only for a little while. Mom says that I have to go to Uncle Harolds during the day. I was really glad to get home to my pig. I enjoy chewing on my cast so I have to wear a silly collar. I WANT THE CAST OFF!!

Everyone was glad to see me...and mom carried me around for about two hours. Her friends Sandy and Linda came over for foot spas....and I took a nap during that time.

I am jumping and jumping with my three legs.... I have to keep in shape. It makes my mom crazy!!! I do get my stitches out on Monday!!

Mom came to see me tonight. I was really tired! She just held me for about 1/2 hour and I felt better. She said that Harold will pick me up and keep me while she is gone....I cannot walk on my pink cast for six weeks, so I have to be in my crate or mom has to hold me for the next six weeks.... not too bad a deal. Mom said that she is going to leave all the toys I put on the pillow alone until I get home.... I guess PT will just have to find another place to sleep. Everyone is missing me....mom says they even looked under the bed!

Mom said we have to cancel a couple of the entries for the upcoming shows.... I got all the hair shaved off my leg. I don't think the judges would think that is very pretty. Mom says I will have to learn to walk all over again......but first we are going to swim everyday after I get my cast off. She says it will help.

Major Setback

At 5:45 pm on April 16, I was running really fast and jumping on the cot that PT sleeps on by the window. I was having such a good time. I already had 4 toys on the pillow on the cot. I like staying there because I can look out the window. I lost my balance and slipped before I jumped and hit my leg on the cot frame. At least I landed on the pillow so I didn't hit my head....but I cried out really loud.

Mom was right there by me....and grabbed me up to give me some love. I had my leg straight out...and I let mom know that it hurt really bad!! She wrapped me in a blanket and took me to the kitchen. She grabbed the therapy pads out of the freezer and we went to sit on the bed. For the rest of the night she had ice on my leg...20 minutes on and 20 minutes off. We were both really tired. This morning she took me outside to potty...and I refused to put any weight on my leg cause it still hurt...but I still pottied!

Mom dropped me by Uncle Harold's on the way to work. Harold took me to the vet...and they took pictures of my leg. The lady from the vet called mom and told her it was broken..and I needed to go see someone special.... Laura (the lady from the Vet) and Uncle Harold took me and another dog (puppy)that had been injured to Sonterra vet hospital where I am having surgery on my broken leg at 3:00 today. The special man is Dr. Anderson. He is supposed to be the best there is at fixing legs. Mom gets to come visit me from 9:00 - 10:00 tonight. Uncle Harold will take me home tomorrow because mom will be out of town until Tuesday night at midnight. I will get to go to my real house on Wednesday morning. Mom's friend Karen told me that her roommate Leslie works at this hospital...she has already been in to see me a couple of times.... and will call mom as soon as the surgery is over. I am really afraid...but know mom will come back and get me.

We will have to work really hard to make sure that I will be able to walk correctly.

More later........ maybe mom will take pictures.......
