Brr....-18C

It's definitely winter time. Mama and Papa don't take me out for walks when it's colder than -10C outside. Well it's more like I don't want to go out for a walk. I'd rather stay inside and sleep on the couch. I can't wait to come inside after a very quick pee break.


Inside my warm building is where it's at! What do you do when it's so cold outside?

Happy Birthday Mama!

Hahaha! Happy Birthday Mama! You are ichiban!
I hope you enjoy this exploding taiyaki that Papa and I made for you,
if you don't want to eat it, I will eat it for you!

Mmm...I'm Loving It

We got these McDonald's coupons in the mail the other day.
I love the taste of coupons.
I think I'd love the taste of Big Macs more,
but since I'm on a restricted diet, I'll settle for coupons.

I got my stitches removed on Monday.
The technician told Mama and Papa that they had to
put a cone around my neck, because I bite.
No one knows that I bite, and now everyone knows.
Anyway, Monday was also my one year anniversary
since I started blogging. Thanks for reading!

Oops...Busted!!

I was so busted this afternoon when Mama came home from the lab.
I thought I was going to be alone for a little while,
when Mama left early for the lab, and then Papa left too.

I settled into my favourite spot for an afternoon snooze,
on Papa's pillow. And then I heard the keys in the door...

Mama walked into the bedroom and I was caught!
Boy did I get the sternest lecture!
Guess they're onto me now, I'm sure they'll be closing the
bedroom door when they leave from now on.

My Post-Surgery Presents

Look what Mama got for me!
A pink and white striped rugby shirt!!
My favourtie colour is pink, and I think I look dapper!

On the back of the shirt is the number 5.
I don't think I am a 5,
I think I'm more like number 1!

Mama also got me this nice red rubber bone too.
It's good for chewing and cleaning my teeth.

My puppy and bear are a bit jealous
that they didn't receive any presents.
But they didn't have to endure bladder surgery like I did,
so I definitely deserve these presents
more than they do!

Recovery Time

I'm home now from my bladder surgery.
I had 4 considerable sized stones removed
and they were sent to a lab for analysis.
I also had a bunch of teeny-tiny stones that were
flushed out using saline and a catheter.
My puppy stayed with me the whole time I was in the hospital.
We're great pals!

I have to wear this soft cone around my neck until the incision heals.
It's supposed to stop me from licking or biting the incision.
I think it makes me look stupid.

It's also hard to drink water from my bowl with this thing on too.

I would show you pictures of my incision, but it's a bit sore right now.
And it looks kind of nasty...and that might put you off.
Instead, here's a picture of where the doctors
put the needle in for my IV.
It's a bit pink, but it doesn't hurt much anymore.
I'm hoping for a speedy recovery!

Surgery Time

My bladder surgery is tomorrow morning.
I'm not all that worried about it, but Mama sure is.
Papa thinks I'm a tough cookie and I won't be fazed at all.
I think he's right!

Here's a picture of my belly pre-operation.
The doctors did such a great job sewing me up from the last surgery I had (to get fixed!) that you can't even see the scar!
I'm sure they'll do the same this time around.
I'll let you know how it all goes tomorrow!

Happy New Year!!

I spent my Christmas holiday with Uncle Brian and his family and I had a great time!
They spoil me like no one else does!
I was also happy to see Mama and Papa again when they came home from their vacation in Calgary.

This is Kunou, he is a 9 year old Tibetan Spaniel.
He used to live with Mama before she moved out to Toronto.
I hear he's a feisty little fella.

He's usually pretty laid back, but he sometimes likes to play fetch.
I'd love to meet him one day. I wonder if we'd get along?

I celebrated New Year's Eve in style:
counting down to 2007 on the couch in my party hat.

Here are my New Year's resolutions:
1. To be healthier (no more stones)
2. To be a better pup (try not to initiate so many fights)
3. To make sure Mama and Papa are happy!
What are your resolutions?
