Hi dere,
Danni here. Mama said I could get on here and post for a few minutes. Yesterday mom looked at my incision and guess what all da scabs were off and den mama went into panic mode and called dat clinic to see what was what. The nice lady on da phone said mama could bring me in and have the doc check it out. So we went at 3 PM and there were a couple other doggies dere and I barked at one of them and I think I scared dat big Rottie. Any way the nice clinic director put us in an exam room and put me on the baby kitty scale and guess what I weighed 9.6 pounds. Then the doctor came in and looked at my tummy and said the incision looked gweat and mama should stop worrying, but she won't.
Today mama was cleaning her coffee maker and I gots to be out of my crate and in the kitchen with her and Snickers kitty, it was nice to be able to walk around, but den I had to go back in da crate. Oh well only a couple more days and I'll be free again. Kitties beware.
Marcia here,
So, I've turned into a worrying mom. Danni has been itching to get out of her crate for the last couple of days, but as soon as I let her out to go potty she makes a beeline for the couch and levitates onto it. I was told to check her incision twice a day, but I check it every time I pick her up and seeing the scabs off I panicked and called the clinic. They were really nice and said I could bring her in anytime between 3 and 7 so I took her in a little after 3. Yes, she did yell at the big Rottie, who just lay there and ignored her. When it was our turn the director/tech put us in an exam room and took Danni's weight and it was a pound more since Monday, but she told me it was OK since little guys like Danni usually don't register their true weight on the big dog scale, so the baby scale is better for now. The tech looked at the incision and said it looked good and the doctor said yes it did look good. However, to be on the safe side she still has to be crated until Sunday or Monday. By Monday they promise that the weather should be better and that it will be puppy friendly again.
So we are hunkered down at home until spring returns again.
Danni,
My mom worries a lot too! Moms are silly, but it is nice that they love us so much. Hopefully yours will give you lots of HAM and other treats; that's what mine does when she frets.
Glad to hear you're doing so great. And only a couple more days until FREEDOM. Yay!
xoxo,

Dis is Danni, I am no longer incarcerated. I woke mama up at 4:30 AM and cried and cried until she moved the prison back into the living room and opened the door and said,
"Let me check your tummy then you are free."
So mama picked me up and looked at my tummy and put me down and told me to g find Cleo. So I ran to the bedroom and barked at her, a whole weeks worth of barks had been saved up. Then mama fed me and we sat on the couch to cuddle and I went back to sleep. Did you know something really strange happened since I was incarcerated, the grass grew and turned green. But I love being out and mama even went to store just for me this morning and bought me a bag of baby carrots.
Marcia here,
When I let Danni out this morning she was a little hesitant about going free, but when I went in the kitchen that was soon forgotten. It's so nice to have her to cuddle with and though she still runs like a maniac she doesn't jump up onto the couch as much or as wildly as before. Maybe now that she can sleep in the big bed she will sleep past 4:30 AM and I can quit feeling tired by NOON, fingers crossed. Danni and I thank you for thinking of us.
