Comet & Mom

Here is a picture of me & my Mom. It was taken by Kaitlin in July 2008 in our family room.

I am looking good!

Westie Slideshow

We needed some photos on my blog, so my Mom explored Blogger tools and added a cool Westie slideshow. What I want her to do next is snap some pictures of me with a digital camera and post them. That will give my blog a personal touch!

My Stitches Are Out!

Yesterday my Mom took me to Heart River Animal Hospital to have my sutures removed. It was exciting to go on a car trip and see my friends at Heart River.

The first thing I did was step on the scale to get weighed. It is so hard to stand still! Really, I cannot do it. I am not a stand-still kind of girl. Everyone's best guess about my weight was 17.4 pounds. I lost some pounds when I was sick. Now I can eat more to make up for it!

My Heart River friends took me in the back room to take my stitches out. It only took a couple of minutes and then we were on our way home again.

My Mom says that the next thing on the list is making an appointment for a bath and a haircut. I wasn't supposed to have a bath until after the stitches were out. My Mom says I stink! And, you know, it's true. I need a bath!

I Love IAMS

I love IAMS canned food. I got to eat it when I was recovering from my surgery and it was GOOOOOD!!!! Now my 'rents are giving me my regular dry, brown food again. I can't go back! I won't!

Give me IAMS. Please. If you love me, you would.

Westie Walk

Last night my 'rents took me for my first real walk since I got home from the hospital. We went down the sidewalk that goes along the south side of our backyard to the corner. The backyard neighbor dog, Josie, barked and barked and barked at me. She always does that. My Mom told Josie to be quiet, but she can't help it.

We turned the corner and walked past the front of the backyard neighbor's house, then turned around and went back home again. I wanted to go farther (further?), but my 'rents said no. They don't want me to overdo it!

Westie Rollyo

My Mom made me a Westie Rollyo today. Cool. It is an easy way to search my favorite Westie sites without also getting a bunch of stuff about Beagles and Doxies.

My Mom's best friends are partial to Beagles and Doxies, but I like to stick with my own kind.

It Is Hard to Keep a Good Pup Down

I am getting better and stronger every day. It is good to feel good again! My 'rents give me four kinds of pills -- Rimadyl, Famotidine, Ampicillin, and my usual thyroid pill. I get half tabs of the first two and my thyroid pill. My Mom usually puts those in the hole of a Cheerio. I like Cheerios. The Ampicillin is big and doesn't taste very good. The best way to have that is rolled up in a slice of shaved turkey.

I am eating a bland diet (stuff like hamburger with a little pasta or rice or potatoes), too. On Saturday, I can also start having some IAMS soft canned food mixed with my regular food. In about 3 days, I can start having my regular brown dog food all by itself.

I'm not supposed to do the stairs, but my Mom says it is hard to keep a good pup down. She tries to make me wait for her so she can carry me up and down, but I'm in a hurry. A girl's gotta move!

This is what my horoscope for today said: "Restless and free-spirited, you feel like you have to loosen up and break free from restrictive situations at this time. You seek freedom and spontaneity and have little patience with dry, tedious situations."

Sounds right to me!
