A Little Itch – Part IV
Let the healin begin… Easy for u to say cause yur belly wasn’t cuts open top to bottom! Ouchie….
Home Sweet Home
All I thought when I waked up was, I’m hungry n I wanna go home. Everybodies at the hospital was so nice to me, sayin what a good girl I was. So why don’t u feed me?
I finded out after I made morning piddles for them outside that I was waiting for Mommy to come with my own homemade foods. She said, no no no, nothing but the best for Juno girl. I doesn’t know why she had to wait til forever to come but she finally did. The nurse brought me n a food bowl out to meet Mommy. I had so many wags for the food bowl that I didn’t even see Mommy, all I saw was the bowl. Musta been a good sign cause the nurse n Mommy both laughed. The nurse said go slow, feed her only about 3 spoonfuls right now. I ate that in less than two seconds n then asked for more. Mommy said no Juno yur vowels have to get use to food again. Oh Mommy, my vowels luvs yur food n they r very use to them. More food please. I gave my best wags but they didn’t work. Sigh. The nurse said to leave the leftovers cause the sturgeon said I would eat every few hours. I luvs him.
We spended some quiet time together where Mommy poked n peeked at my belly. She didn’t touch it n that was good cause it is my ouchie spot. Even though it hurt it kinda felt better at the same time. The nurse comed back n said that the sturgeon would call Mommy later. I guess that is who made my belly ouchie but better. Hospitals can be very confusing places where they put you in a cage n stick you with sharp things then kiss you on the head. I spended all day waitin in the little cage until Mommy came to get me. They talked n talked n said do this…don’t do that, no jumping, no running, to playin, no no no no blah, blah, blah….feed her every few hours until her body gets use to two meals a day… .WAIT WHAT? Every few hours??? Faint!!!
We left the hospital n while tryin to load me gently into the car I found an only halfway chewed dog cookie on the ground. Mommy pried open my mouth n said, “JUNO, for pete’s sake, can we get out of the parking lot before you get yourself into more troubles?” I looked at her thinkin, “What a silly question to ask a beagle.”
When I gots home Raven was happy to see me n Maya wanted to only smell my belly. I was tired n just wanted to sleep in my own bed, after a little snack, of course. Doctors orders!
In two weeks I will go n have the 15 staples removed from my belly. Once they r gone I can run n play n jump n dig again all I want. Until then I has to be quiet n not run. I go out only on the leash next to Mommy. She won’t let me play with Maya or Raven. Maya doesn’t understand, she’s just a baby, n keeps tryin to play knock over yur big sister when we go outside. Mommy yells at her, not with the umbrella in her hand! She also blocked up the deck so Maya can’t squeeze under any more. Mr. Groundhog is gonna be mad when he can’t find his place to hide from us. Good thing cause Maya would prolly end up followin him anyway.
I get to go to work everyday with Mommy n sleep under her desk, go for a short afternoon walk to get my strengths back n get to have a break time snack n a lunchtime too!! I like eatin very few hours n hope that after I am all better we can still do that. I hope that never ends. Dr. Ying says she is still worried about me cause I still wanna eat everything in sight n I get anxious at mealtime. She said there r more test to see if I have other things wrong with my vowels or my digestion. I got a B12 shot on Wednesday cause it was a little low n since then I am feelin much better. While I finded my way out of the woods for eatin a toy my problems don’t seem to be over. Mommy took all the stuffy toys away incase I decide to try ot eat one again. Yesterday she caught me tryin to open a box of donated dog food for the BeFreegle Foundation Freegles. I tol her I wanted to make sure it was okay for them. She made mad eyes at me n then I made sorry eyes at her. She put the box in the other room where I not allowed.
The other day I finded out that some of my friends have started a fundrazr for me n an online auction to help pay for my hospital bills. Mommy says that it costs five years of cookie money for me to stay alive but that she would do it in a heartbeat cause she luvs me lots.
Thank u to all of my friends who have sent me luv, positive energy, light and prayers. I even had a cat named Vincent Van Cat prayin for me. He thinks it’s cause of him that I’m doin so good right now. I told him he can come to visit me n I can show him I “‘preciate his prayers but Raven will chase him n bark at him til he’s hidin under the sofa or climbin the curtains. Mommy said Vincent should just stay home n that I can say thanks u from over here.
My fundrazrs r running for a couple more weeks if u wanna help me to pay off my debt so I can have cookies again before 5 years from now. Otherwise please send cookies, I’m famished.
Luv n Wags,
Juno
