My Mom is Missing!

She left last Wednesday morning, and hasn't been home for a week! All of us have been spending a lot of time in our crates. One morning I even had an accident because my dad had to work overtime, but my bladder coulldn't.
Monday, I went to the hospital to visit her. She is in a room with a funny bed that goes up and down. She fed me her lunch, because she didn't llike it! That was great, 'cause I did. Iggy went on Tuesday to visit, and Rookie got to go yesterday. I think today is Barney's turn. They say she'll be gone for a couple more weeks. I really miss my mom.

News from Home

Things at my house are a bit crazy right now. My mom is going to a place they are calling a hospital. She is leaving tomorrow morning. She will be gone for a long time. She is packing two bags and taking books and stuff, to keep herself busy. She isn't taking me! What am I going to do without her? I have been following her around all day. I tried to fit myself in her suitcase, but I'm too big and all I could do was sit on her clothes. I have been letting her scratch my belly all day, too. Beth was here and hugging me and telling me that she would be my "cow" for a while. I'm so confused.

On the good side, my mom says when she comes home, we'll be able to run agility again, like we used to. She says she'll be better than ever because she is getting "Bionic Hips" and she will be like the "Bionic Woman." I don't know about that. We'll just have to wait and see.

The Fourth of July

Wow! What a day. It was so much louder this year, than last year. Of course, last year I spent most of the day in my crate. This year, mom was home, and went out in the yard to watch the big display that they set off in the park near our house. She took me outside with her, along with Rookie and Iggy. The neighbors had a party. Their stuff was so loud. All I wanted to do was run back into the house. Mom called me a wimp.

Iggy is a brave guy. Nothing bothers him. Must be those drugs they give him for his epilepsy : ) I'll tell you what! Next year, I'm staying in my crate. No, I don't think going out in the yard will ever be a good idea on the Fourth! They tell me that only Americans celebrate the Fourth of July. they call it Independence Day. Fireworks are a big part of the day. I don't know about that. I could live very nicely with the picnics, food and fun without all that noise.

News ETC

Well, now I know why they took me to THAT nursing home. That is where my mom will be after her hip surgery. She is getting two new hips in two weeks. She will be away from home for at least that long, while she rehabs and learns exercises. I will be able to visit her, because I am such a well behaved guy LOL.

Tomorrow is the Fourth of July! They are firing off all sorts of stuff in my neighborhood, and have been for a couple of weeks. The booms scare my BC friends, but not me. I don't really care about the noises. As a matter of fact, I like to bark at them.

More about that tomorrow
