Sweet Little Dog

I think I have been at the vet more times in the last month than I have been in my entire life.  Ok, maybe that is a slight exaggeration, but I have seen Dr. Maria a lot lately.  She's a great lady, but I would rather not visit her so often.  I heard the word cancer.  I don't know what that word means, except that I've gotten tons of extra treats.  I hardly even have to ask for them!  My Mom has been spending so much extra time with me too.  She usually moves around so much always doing so many things at the same time.  Lately, she's really just spending quiet time with me.  Sometimes I even catch her watching me sleep.  I really never see her cry, but that cancer word, it seems to make her sad.  I think I need to cuddle her back a little extra.  You know, after I eat all of my treats.

Little Dog Ditches her Stitches!

Thanks to everyone who sympathized with my need for stitches!  They were not fun, but when Shauna threatened to make me wear a t-shirt if I didn't leave them alone, well I hate clothes more than I disliked my stitches, so...but they came out this week!  I didn't enjoy that, but, our first stop after the vet's office was Coffee Bean for ice blended coffee with whip cream on the side.  My Mom drinks the coffee (hopefully she remembered to say decaf) and the whip cream is for me!  It is one of my favorites!   Then she gave me a puppy massage; the scratches on my head and under my collar are the best!  Then she put a bunch of kisses on my head, which are definitely more for her than they are for me!  As long as we are following up with more treats, it might even be worth the stitches.

Trip to the Vet

I don't know about this this going to the vet thing.  This is the second time I have gone in minding my own business and come home with stitches.  (My Mom tells me I had them when I got fixed too, but that was a long time ago and I don't remember!)  I have a few "beauty marks".  You know, the kind we get as we age.  I guess I must have accidentally opened one up with a toe nail, so Shauna took me to see Dr. Maria.  She's really nice, and always gentle.  She likes me too, cuz I remind her of her own  Schnauzer's.   But it seems a little extreme that they would shave a spot of my great fur that I work so hard to grow, and then put in stitches!  At least they didn't put that awful cone collar on like last time!  I did hear them saying I would have to wear a Tshirt if I scratch at my stitches.  So I won't be doing that.  I know I have expressed this before, but I Don't wear clothes!  I may however, be able to use this situation to get some extra treats out of my people.  I'm going to go work on that now!
