The dog with 9 lives

11.06.09...Today was a BAD day. I gave everyone a big scare. I got up as usual, ate and went along to take the kids to school. In the car, I sat in the backseat whinning (which I normally don't do). When we got back home, I jumped out of the car and threw up. Mom thought that I maybe ate my breakfast too fast. Within an hour, I was throwing up again. After that, I needed to rest. I slept for an hour and woke up not feeling well...again. I threw up and out came two baby socks...then another sock and a piece of a red toy. I almost made it to the door to go outside and another sock came out along with a piece of plastic. Mom was freaking out!

I spent the rest of the afternoon sleeping...not wanting to eat, drink or even go outside. Mom called the vet and I had to go in right away. I had some x-rays done and the vet said it looked like my intestines were shutting down and that I would probably have to have surgery. They couldn't tell if anything was still in me, but said that they were pretty sure that something was in there. I came home to sleep and to figure out what to do.

That night I was outside and I was able to pass the remaining contents in my stomach...another sock and the laytex top to one of Victoria's old Sippy Cups! Those tops were thrown away over a month ago...so I was caught red handed for sneaking one out of the garbage!

In the morning, I woke up feeling SO much better. I spent the whole day running and playing!! It feels so good not to have all of these things in my stomach. I am not allowed to stay out of my kennel anymore while Mom has to run errands...even though I promised that I will behave!

My cousins

Ruby, Abby & Willow

6 Months Old

10.12.09...Today is my 6 month Birthday! I got a "Dino Bone" to eat...it's soooooo good!! I'm starting to get into a bit of trouble now and then. I don't know why I have to listen when we are outside. I like to visit the people across the street and any dog that walks by our house. Mom and Dad don't like it when I run to say "hi" to everyone...I'm just being friendly!!

A snack

Mom made the mistake of opening my bag of food and then walking away...I decided to help myself to a snack before dinner!! It was delicious =)

Now it's time to take a rest...I'm full!!

Getting Taller

I like to look out the window to see what is going on...here I am standing on the radiator on the other side of the couch...works out pretty nicely.
