Hi everyone this is Bonzai. Daddy left the computer open so I thought I would write a post since he is is pretty stressed out. He is trying his best to decide what is right for me. I know everyone tells him whatever choice he makes will be right. I have told him that too. I know he will do what is best for me. He always has.
He took me for a walk last night. I have not been on many lately because I can’t even go 500 feet from the house without my leg hurting soo bad that I have to hobble. Last night was no different. He only wanted to take me on a short walk to try out this new harness he got me for after surgery.I didn’t like it at first. Mainly because daddy could pick me up and turn me around in it lol. He tried to take us home pretty quick but I wouldn’t let him. My leg was hurting bad but I love my walks and I pulled him the entire way around our regular walk. Those walks really take it out of me because of the pain so afterwards daddy gave me my pain pills and I went to sleep.
Daddy called the Dr today. I heard him ask the Dr all kinds of stuff about the surgery. I am glad I don’t understand human words cause it looked really upsetting to daddy and he cried a lot. Daddy said Mommy was coming back into town for the surgery. I am glad. I miss Mommy. She has been gone a month taking care of Grandma.. Grandma has cancer like I do. Though her’s is in her brain and lungs. Mommy will get to go to the Dr with me Friday. They are both soo worried about me. Not as nearly as worried as I am.. Well not yet at least. I hate the Dr and I get very upset when I am there. Daddy says I have to stay the night. I do not know what that really means but I just hope it doesn’t mean I have to stay there long. Dad said we had to skip the walk tonight cause it’s really cold and windy out but he promised to take me tomorrow.
Aw Bonzai, don’t worry. This trip to the vet is gonna be your best ever ’cause you are gonna leave that nasty hurting leg behind. I just know you are gonna rock being a tripawd! It’ll take a little getting used to but its so worth it not to hurt anymore. The whole Tripawd Nation gots your back OK? We’re gonna be sending you all kinds of love and strength to get through this. So try and relax……..
But wait! You’re a dog! What the heck are you doing worrying! Sounds like maybe you are channeling your human’s fears. Just remember dude — be more dog! We are fierce. We are courageous. We meet each challenge with dogged determination. We love life. And we live in the here and now without worries for the future ’cause we don’t know what “future” means 🙂
