The cone is back?!?



What the hey - I went to the vet and fell asleep there (again) - and the cone was back when I woke up! And my leg hurt a lot!!! I remember Mom and Dad talking about my knee locking up - I wonder if this has anything to do with it? Since then, they haven't taken me for walks, and no trips to the dog park or doggy daycare. We went to Grandpa and Grandma's house for Christmas, but all I did there was sit on someone's lap and sleep. It was kind of wonderful in that regard.






I want to play chase, but Mom and Dad and Joey won't do that - it is making me a little sad. Mom said I have to wait at least another five weeks. I will get those itchy stitches out on January 7th.



I had some fun for my second Christmas (I was born on December 23rd, 2006 - Dad said something about combining presents, which I don't think would be fair at all!) I did get some nice gifts - a new jacket and some new chew toys.


I made a painting for Dad (with some help from Joey).
He is going to take it to work so he can think about me during the day when I am at home in my crate, or at daycare. Dad certainly was surprised by this gift - he didn't even have a clue that I was giving him anything this thoughtful and nice! Joey had fun doing this too - he must have because I got to chase the Kleenex that he was holding when we made the painting.



I love the snow - I wish it wouldn't be so cold, though. That cone comes in real handy when I need to bury my pee or poop. Dad took a picture of me exploring - I don't think it is the best he has ever done since it is so blurry. I hope that Mom will let me play in the snow some more, soon. I can hear things moving around underneath, and I have found two dead mice so far. Mom just says "yuck" and won't let me pick up my prizes.
Well, I need to see what Joey is up to - he might have a treat for me.
Have a Happy New Year!
