Mozzie’s Journal: I got to go in the car for the first time in like a million days! It was so exciting! First, we got in the car which was difficult but everyone got really excited and cheered when I got in. Then, Mom stopped for gas in New Jersey which meant that I gotContinue reading “Mozzie’s Post-Surgery Journal: Day 16”
Mozzie’s Journal: Mom keeps singing about, “Tomorrow” and loving it a lot. Dad doesn’t seem as annoyed by this as I am. I figure as long as they keep rubbing my ears everything must be okay. Ear rubbins and chin rubbins make everything okay. My parents keep insisting that I use this ramp but IContinue reading “Mozzie’s Post-Surgery Journal: Day 15”
Mozzie’s Journal: I thought they said two weeks. The humans are liars or I can’t do math or both. Probably both. Either way, the cone has been on too long. I am restless. I am eager to scratch and paw my ears. I am dying to lick my butt. Dying. Sometimes I bark at myContinue reading “Mozzie’s Post-Surgery Journal: Day 13 and Day 14”
Mozzie’s Journal: Cone status: zen Boo Bear/Monkey status: MINE Squirrel Status: on high alert Kita status: partners in crime 0630: Mom comes down the stairs to walk us but instead of coming down on two paws like she normally does, she decides to come down on all fours, face first, like the rest of us.Continue reading “Mozzie’s Post-Surgery Journal: Day 11”
Mozzie’s Journal: Today was a good day. Mom used this tool to help me get on the chaise lounge of the couch and I stopped whining about life. The freedom, coziness, and familiarity of the couch was exactly what I needed. I napped for nearly 6 hours on and off in this position. Then, IContinue reading “Mozzie’s Post-Surgery Journal: Day 10”
Mozzie’s Journal: As with all innovation there seems to be some hiccups in the use of my cone-scoop. Further testing is required although I think I may have worked out most of the kinks. I can slam Mom wherever I want her to be. I can move Kita around as needed. The cats are noContinue reading “Mozzie’s Post-Surgery Journal: Day 8”
Mozzie’s Journal: Attention fellow enconed canines! Your cone can be used as a scoop! There is still a little bit of snow here and I quickly realized that I can scoop up the snow with my cone and then gobble it up as it slides to my neck. This makes my neck wet and nowContinue reading “Mozzie’s Post-Surgery Journal: Day 7”
Mozzie’s Journal: Dad took us out this morning and there was – you wouldn’t believe it – a squirrel! Kita jumped off the edge of our front steps and ran across the yard. I tried to follow, nearly pulling Dad’s arm off, but he restrained me and made me calm down, forcing me to breakContinue reading “Mozzie’s Post-Surgery Journal: Day 6”
Mozzie’s Journal: 0500 hours: Kita alerted me to a squirrel on the deck. We promptly employed Squirrel Protocol and began to alert all neighborhood canines to the squirrel’s presence. Mom was sleeping in the couch and seemed very concerned about the squirrel as well as she also began yelling. Luckily both me and Kita wereContinue reading “Mozzie’s Post-Surgery Journal: Day 5”
Mozzie’s Journal: The cone is still present. I have figured out that if I close the edges of the cone around my snout and pull my head backwards, both Mom and Dad react very strongly. I will repeat this process until either the cone comes off or I am given a distraction treat. I haveContinue reading “Mozzie’s Post-Surgery Journal: Day 4”
