Skittles blog

I had a dream last night that I was chasing a bird in the back yard, dad says my feet were moving at breakneck speed. I was steps away from catching him, and then I woke up.  As my eyes opened, I glanced down to be reminded of what had happened to me. Man what a bummer! The pain is manageable with my meds, but I am having a hard time adjusting to my new tripawdness. Dad can barely get me to go outside to potty every 12 hours or so. I’ve been eating like a queen and drinking plenty of water,  just not feeling motivated to get up. Dad seems a little worried about me, and has been spoiling me rotten. If there is a silver lining to this whole thing is I get to hang out with dad all day long  sleep on his bed, and getting loved on 24/7.

It’s kind of depressing watching my little brother running around like a mad man, and I can’t even motivate myself to get out of bed. Dad says I need to just chill for a few weeks, but that’s  never been my style. I’m trying my best to keep a positive attitude, but this morning I just feel like moping. Dad’s been reading me all the wonderful comments that have been coming in, and that definitely makes me feel better, thank you all.

All this blogging is making me exhausted. so I;m going to take another nap now.  Hopefully when I wake up I’ll be in a better mood.

Xoxo, Skittles

I am so happy to be home, I almost forgot I just had a major surgery. Dad put his mattress on the floor so it would be easy for me to get on, and you know that I took full advantage of that! I curled up right next to him and nuzzled my head on his belly. This is soooo much better than the vets! I really wanted to lick my wound, but wouldn’t you know it, that’s the only spot on my body I can’t reach. So I did the next best thing and licked dad’s blanket for an hour or so. I think he thought that I peed in the bed I left such a soaking. I thought that was funny, but dad didn’t see the humor in it at the time.

Once I got my 1 am pills , it was lights out for me. I don’t think dad got much sleep though, it seemed like he was worried about me and watching over me most of the night. Just for sh**’s and giggles I picked 3:30 am to have to go potty, dad was so amused 😉  I still have not pooped yet, it’s hard to balance and squeeze  ( it’s a dog thing, you wouldn’t understand ). Hopefully today my balance will get better, it’s still going to take me a while to get used to my new Tripawdness. Dad seems more concerned about it than me, but when the turtle starts poking its head out I’m gonna go!

Today has been really chill, just lounging around and getting loved on. My little brother Adolf has been keeping me company, and helping dad take care of me. I sure wish my Mom and bratty sister were here too, I miss them a lot. Dad said I can see mom in a few days, but it’s going to be a while before they let me see Snickers.

Dad read me all the kind and wonderful comments people sent in, and I just wanted to thank you all from the bottom of my heart  for all your support and well wishes. It is making my recovery so much better knowing that there is all this love and support coming in from others who have had to go through this. I know it’s helped dad emencly, so again, thanks from both of us.

Dad just brought out the turkey, must be time for my pill. ( he thinks I don’t know what he’s doing, lol )

Xoxo, Skittles
