Happy Days

This morning when Kunou and I woke up we heard
Mama walking around upstairs. I think she was
chatting on MSN with Papa in Japan.
Hi Papa!! I miss you! Hope you are well!

This afternoon, since the weather was so nice,
Mama took Kunou and I out for a long walk.
This time around, I got to share my space with my buddy.

I think Kunou had a pretty good time
walking around outside, sniffing the grass.
Look at him smiling!!

Check it out: that dark blur in the top
right hand corner of the pic is a fly.
Great timing hey? Too bad it's so blurry!

Just to prove that Kunou and I went for a walk together.

There's a house on our route where little kids live.
They have a huge ball, like really HUGE!
I wanted to play too, but Mama wasn't going to let me.
I pulled and pulled and pulled, but it didn't work.
My leash line was getting shorter and shorter and shorter,
because Mama was wrapping it around her hand.

I didn't mean to, but I ended up bruising
Mama's hand from my pulling. I'm sorry Mama!!

On a side note, I'm sending our Canadian Olympic Team
some well deserved love. I've been watching them on TV
and even though we haven't won any medals,
our athletes are trying very hard!
So keep up the good work Canada!

Becoming Beastie Besties

I think it was Kunou's near death experience that has made
him warm up to me much more now. See we are even
hanging out on the same blanket right next to each other!

I might be pushing my luck a little here by trying to
snuggle with Kunou, hence his trying to not-so-
subtley move his head away from mine.
Why are you still so scared of me Little Buddy?

Kunou has his appetite back now!
He gets rice with chicken chunks.
Lucky bum gets his dinner homemade.
I get my dry kibble from a bag.
Boo.

Happy 888 Everyone!!

Holy moly it's been eons since my last post!
I've been enjoying my summer here in Cowtown.
Sunning myself, chasing butterflies, eating grass.
Generally loving life. How about you?

Look at all this room for me to run around and be silly!!
And all for me too, I don't have to share.

That's because Kunou spent the last 3 days in the hospital.
A few months ago, Auntie Ang was making guacamole
and accidentally dropped the avocado pit on the floor.
Kunou, with his ninja-like reflexes was on that pit in a flash,
and he swallowed it whole!!! Well it's been festering
in his belly for all this time now and his stomach finally
wore it down small enough for it to pass into his
small intestine. And then it got stuck there. He was
vomiting and dehydrated. And that was last Saturday.

He had to go to emergency twice because
it was misdiagnosed the first time. Monday was the
second time we took him, his little body was
already in shock and he was vomiting up brown liquid
that smelled like it should be coming out the other end.
We thought he was a goner.
But then he had an ultrasound and surgery last Tuesday.
And today he came home! I'm so happy!!

Here's Kunou with a shaved belly and a nasty incision
from the surgery. The purple bandage was where the IV was.
He's also wearing tea towel socks on his hind legs to
prevent him from scratching the incision.

I'm glad Kunou is better now. I was getting
depressed for a little while and had trouble eating
my food. Today after he came home, I was
so happy I ate ALL of my dinner!!
Indeed today is a lucky day for everyone!
Oh and happy start to the Olympics too!!
Go Canada!
