Hurricane Sandy

WOW was it windy last night! I DID not like it for one minute...but, it was so windy this morning that mommy got to stay home from work. She woke up at 4:50 and it woke all of us up! Do you know she wouldn't let me or my brothers go out on our own?! She said we might blow away....like all 75 pounds of me is going to blow away! I felt like she was stalkin' me on that leash so I ran her all over the yard trying to find the perfect spot then, after five minutes, I decided I would just hold it. Mom didn't look pleased. But, I cuddled with Mom on the couch all day. Dr. B came by tonight. Mom and Dad thought it might be time to start chemo because my lymph nodes were up....BUT, it's not time! My lungs sound good and Dr. B said I was actin' froggy! It's the weather, I tell ya! I'm all frizky because the wind is blowin' over my chub rolls...makes me feel like a new pibble! Stay warm tonight everyone!

To Grandmother's House we go...

Daddy woke up early and loved on me before he went shooting today. When he left I was sitting around looking oh so pitiful. Mom felt sorry for me and loaded me up in the car with her to go visit Meemaw... She's mom's grandma so that makes me her great granddog! Anyway... I got there and grandma was there, too! ( that's mom's mom) she has stopped at McDonald's and there was a big 'ole breakfast sitting right smack dab on the table when I arrived! Me and grandma have a bond... She kept distracting mom and sneaking me pieces of biscuits under the table. Then, I laid down at meemaw's feet and let her pet me.... It was sooo relaxing!

Decoy

Sorry I haven't blogged in awhile! Things have been going good for me... No major increase in my lymph nodes so that's good! I do have to share the injustice that JUST happened! As you all know I LOVE bread! I can eat an entire loaf at once.... So mom and dad stopped putting bread in the box because I totally know how to get in there- after all, I'm a pro! Well dad made mom go to some scary movie tonight and when they got home .... They found the bag of potatoes in the floor! That's right everybody ... They are keeping potatoes in the bread box as a decoy!!!!! I have no interest in potatoes! Yuck! Someone send a Merrita truck this way ASAP!

River bound!

Mom had a bunch of stuff to do today but when she finally got home we all piled in the car and headed to the river so she could get some silt, whatever that is, for some lesson she is teaching her kids. I know... Major snooze but the good part was that I got to go car riding and the best part was that I got to get in the river. The bad part is mom wouldn't let me eat the dead fish that was laying there. That's my kind of fish... I didn't have to catch it or anything but she said no. We were really proud of Mu! He hates water and he got in up to his chest! Andy is a frilly frew frew prince so he would t go in but we had a blast!

Ugh

My day did NOT start off well.... Do you know that mom actually took the time to call dad on her way to work to tell him to move the banana bread that she brought home last night so that I didn't get it ?! Where is DPS ( dog protective services) when ya need them?! My day got much better when mom got home and there was mail in the mailbox for me for Ms Christy's furkids: Heidi, Hank and Oliver! I love getting mail! Mommy got one from Ms Gina last week and one from Great grandma! Thanks for showing me so much love!!!

Vet visit!

Dr. B came today! As if I didn't look funny before I sure do look funny now! She said she didn't notice any difference in the size of my lymph nodes which is a good thing! So shaved the back of my legs and my chest area and took a marker and made dotted circles around the lymph nodes there and at my lady parts! This way, mom and dad can keep an eye on them and as soon as they notice them growing- we start chemo! The goal is that we can start my chemo as soon as the school year is done at the end of May so mom can be home with me all summer... But May is a long ways off and we all know that things can change pretty quickly so we will start that 'ole chemo whenever I need it! Dr. B took out my stitches today... Even she was surprised my hasn't already done it! She let mom take some photos while she here! I just live when Dr.B pulls up! Dr.B =treats!!!!

Relaxing weekend

I've been doing a whole lot of nothing except enjoying this awesome cool weather! Mommy went to the Second Helpings store on Williamson Road and got a doggy barrier to put in the back of the SUV so we could ride in there and stay in the back - I am a really good rider but my brothers could use some help! Anyway, all the money goes to the rescue mission and they have some really great doggy stuff! Then mommy went to check out the Purrfect Treasures store in Franklin co. All proceeds go to the Franklin co. Shelter. She said she was soooo impressed and everyone should go check it out!
Last night I was a little spunky. I stole mu's bone, took it out in the yard at 9pm and stayed out there for 30 minutes. The only way mom could get me in was to say the t- word.... You know t-r-e-a-t.... I have to spell it out or I will want one!
Dad let mom sleep in this morning and made us breakfast! Those eggs sure were yummy! After we ate, daddy loved on all of us... I just love my daddy so darn much!
Dr. B is coming tomorrow to take out these stitches and talk to mommy and daddy about when we start chemo. I'm a little nervous but I will keep everyone posted!
