They call me Hopalong

Lord knows what they did to me, but at least the pain has gone. I'm stuck in this kennel thing with a bowl of water and some horrible dry dog food. My mum sprays mine with some lovely olive oil, makes it taste really good. The girls here are very nice and stop by for a pat now and then. It is very difficult to stand up as I've got this huge 'thing' on my hurt leg. They keep sticking pills down my throat which I hate. Mum gives me mine inside a piece of sausage and she thinks I don't know it's there but I do. Usually the sausage tastes so good I don't mind the pill inside. But sometimes I hang on to the pill in my mouth and spit it out when Mum's not looking. No chance of that with these nurses. At least I have a nice comfy bed to lie on.
Ooh they are taking me out of here! Can I stand up? woo it's wobbly but I'm up. Walkies?? Like this?? you have to be joking! But now you come to mention it I could do with a wee... now would be good! This must be the place .... aaaah! that's so much better! Back to my kennel - slowly. Not only is my leg fat and heavy it's also longer than the others! This is going to take some working out. I got up but how do I get down again on my bed? Ok - it's back end down, then drag the heavy leg forward and slip down on the other leg. I'm down! Not moving for a while now! Feeling sleepy...zzzzz
Time is passing slowly in a haze of sleep, drink, pee's. Don't feel hungry but they brought me some chicken and that was nice.
Now that nice man has come for me. Where to this time? A different door... and my Mum!!!!!!!!!! Oh Mum look what they've done to me!  Take me home please! Oh thank goodness we're going to the car! The nice man lifts me in. Ahh familiar smells - apart from my rug - it's all clean and fresh. Not sure I can manage lying down here but it's not good standing up. Here goes... made it. Take me home Mama!
At last! Home sweet home! Oh no - Mum's trying to lift me down - CAREFUL! Ow! Ah firm ground and I'm ok. I need a pee! That grassy bit will do nicely - thanks mum.
Oh so good to be home! I am so looking forward to sleeping on mum's bed again!
Oh no! how the heck can I get upstairs???  Mum's blocked the stairs off now :( does this mean I have to sleep downstairs? Looks like she is sleeping down here with me tonight awww. Roll on tomorrow.
