Well, I'm here in my backyard at home...isn't it pretty? I've been catching up...my young beagle buddy next door still hasn't figured out how to not bark so much (and that's some bark he's got!)...but he will!
My BIG NEWS is that I've been back to my doc here at home..my eye would still get really squinty..then get better...then squint more..and I started to not want much to eat...then all of a sudden I got this "thing" under my jaw...well, mom had me to the vet in a flash. They did a bunch of stuff...(but you know how good I am..I just let'm poke & prod and gave'em kisses) ...did lab work for people smart like my dad to see. They were thinking something about my salivary glands (I do smack my food a lot!) It was a VERY GOOD thing that my dad got home from Texas the next day (on Friday) because my neck was worse...so BOTH he & mom scooted me back pronto! This time the labs were back..and apparently I have this thing called Lymphoma. (Try spelling that with paws!)
I could tell everybody was upset...even the doc..but my mom & dad just hugged me and told me how good I was being! (well, yeah!) On the way home we talked about stuff...they said it would be good if I started going to the vet once every week for awhile (what?) so that I could start feeling a lot better (hmmm...really?)...and also, every time I went we'd need to stop at Chick fil A on the way home (now, that's a plan!!!) And here I thought Gran was my only source.
They also said that we'd need to be going to the beach a LOT! and SOON! (this just keeps getting better!) But then they both got real serious and said, "Now, Alice, nothing has changed at all..we still expect the very best from you..to use your manners...wait at the door to come/go...and in/out of the car..to eat your food...and stay where you belong in the yard! You just might sleep on the sofa a little more, but we'll see about that! WHEW! Hearing that was a huge relief to me..I was starting to wonder..but now I know that my world is just the same! My mom & dad are right here with me, Chess follows me everywhere I go, all my family loves me to pieces...and I got lots & lots & lots of friends...and we're talking about the BEACH!!! I AM the luckiest girl in the world!!!!
Stay posted...I've got catching up with my friends to do...and I'll let you know how this other stuff goes..Bye for now! Sorry this was so long...but I had a lot to tell you...oh, yeah!!! PLEASE pass it on to take good care of all my buddies in this heat!!! LOTS & LOTS & LOTS of water!!! Talk to ya soon!
