I am just coming round in a very strange place. My mum brought me here earlier and went away without me. I hope she comes back soon. I am in a small cage - well it's bigger than most around me but not a lot of room for me to move. OUCH! My leg hurts like mad and is all stiff and heavy. Oooh my head is spinning a bit. I feel wEirD. There's a very nice lady looking at me now and then, and she has gentle hands so I get a nice ear rub from her. My mouth is very dry and feels strange. I don't remember drinking much last night or today.
Last night was bad. I remember going walkies at the park. The ground was hard and very cold and there were little slippery patches of smooth hard stuff. I made mum walk across the park when I did my poo over the far saide, but she keeps saying she needs more exercise! I watched her set off towards the bin and when she reached the fork in the path I set off at top speed. I knew I'd get in 2 or even 3 circuits of the field before she got back to the car, poor old thing can't walk very fast! I remember seeing the hard shiny patch in front of me so I ran across it then BAM! My foot went through the hard surface and I went flying! OWWWW did that hurt! My leg is on fire! It hurts so much! I yelled as I went over and Mum was soon at my side. I could not walk and just stood on three legs shaking. The pain was terrible. Suddenly I was being picked up by a strange man who carried me to the car. I was in no hurry to stand up. It hurt lying down let alone standing on it. Mum drove off and then all of a sudden I was being lifted out by another strange man in a blue suit. He carried me into a very smelly building - a strange smell I recognise. Oh no! It's the vet's! I was here not too long ago when that nasty dog bit me. I had people all round me looking at my hurting leg while Mum cuddled me. A lady stuck a needle in me and I remember nothing more until I woke up feeling wobbly in a cage. All of a sudden I heard Mum's voice then I was being lifted up again and popped back into my mum's car. I just lay there until we got home. My leg felt weird. Not hurting so much but it was all stiff and heavy. Jen carried me into the house and laid me down on a nice thick bed. I was not going anywhere in a hurry and dozed a bit. Mum and Jen kept patting me every time I made a noise. Hey! this is good! Bring it on! *whine* aahh got them both round me now - hehe. I think I'll stand up for some serious bum rubs. Uh oh - that hurts and why won't my leg work like normal? Maybe I'll stay here a bit longer. What's Mum doing now?? Why is that blanket going under me? Ouch! mind the leg! Ohh this feels weird. I'm walking but I'm being carried too! Ahh the garden. God it's cold out here! Wee? me? no way I can't stand up let alone squat to wee! I don't want to go. Phew I'm being lifted back in again. More snoozing on the bed for me then. Mum and Jen keep fussing over me and I'm loving it.
I think I'll try standing up by myself. Ahh a bit tricky but I managed it. Now for a drink. This wrapped up leg doesn't hurt now but it's longer than my other leg and won't bend so I' walking a bit funny. Mum seems pleased I'm walking by myself - more pats :)
Jen has gone to bed now and Mum is asking me to go outside for a wee - I think I need to go now. Just one big step down from the dining room to the garden - here goes! Ow ooh! I made it! yayy! Now where to pee? This will do. Ahhhhhhhhh relief!
Mum watches me hop back in and seems pleased. The only dodgy bit was from the hall carpet to the dining room carpet across the smooth kitchen floor. I do not feel safe on it at the best of times and with this stiff leg I am sure I'll slip. Mum walks beside me and I make it to carpet just fine. Bed time. Looks like I'm expected to sleep down here :( I guess I won't be heading upstairs for a while. Oooh Mum is sleeping down here with me! :-) Night night mum.
I had an urgent need to pee in the night and managed to wake Mum up to let me out. Don't know what she was grumbling about - I did ask to go out! I know it wasn't much later I felt the need to poo and I woke Mum again to let me out. I thought she'd be pleased but she seemed a bit grouchy.
I got all excited when Mum said we were going out in the morning and I managed to jump into the back of the car quite easily with only a twinge of pain. I wondered where we were going, and found out after a fair drive. Another flipping vet :-(. My leg was aching as I stood next to Mum but this vet man went on and on. Another nice man came and took me away - away from my Mum - noooooo! Oh who's this? She's nice and friendly and has put me in a cage with a warm blanket to lie on. There seems to be a lot of other dogs around, and cats just over the way. It's a bit noisy but people come and go. It seems like ages before someone comes to see me and wipes my leg before putting a needle in me and then I drift off........
Woooo the room is spinning. I feel very strange. Oh no! What's all this on my leg? what have they done to me now? It does feel weird but not hurting so I suppose that's ok. Very hard to move the leg though. At last a drink! My mouth is so dry and my tongue feels all thick. *slurp slurp* oh that's better. Mmm I feel sleepy. Think I'll have a dose now zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
