Debbie Kirkland, Tumbles
All is finally well and a playful puppy has re-emerged!
IMG_9585.JPGGracie has a few things to say:
On Wednesday, My mommy brought me home and I laid around most of the day. I went outside and  got rid of alot of worms and things that made my tummy hurt. I slept a little and then I got really hungry and began eating for the first time in three days. I wanted a steak, but mom made me eat I/D and science diet. The baked potatoe she fixed for herself about made me loose my mind though! Yum!

On Thursday, I slept pretty well.. and mom slept late,.. I guess all those nights of having to take me outside or clean me up made her really tired! As soon as she showered, we  went back to my vet and I got that pesky IV catheter out. I dont care if the bandage was a “no chew” bandage, I chewed on it anyway.. it made my paw swell up and i wanted it out!  The people at the vets office were really happy to see me..everyone makes over me.. they call me a miracle puppy. Dr. Steverson and Dr Justice and all the people at Bradfordville Animal Hospital make me feel really special.. even though they have lots of “special” people come visit. I have a few more doses of antibiotics and medicine to take, but mom says it is something I have to do.. so I will, just to see her smile.I love all the special attention and got to spend the day with mom at her office where everyone seems ot stop what they are doing when I am around. My Nana left me some money in an envelope, and one of mom’s friends gave me some money to get well!  I love friends.. and can’t wait to play with everyone! I love to follow mom down the hall at the office.. except for when I have to go by that BIG Coke vending machine. It really freaks me out.. and I have to get mom to pick me up and carry me around it!  I have been really hungry and been eating alot today! I feel so much better.

I wanted to sleep in my kennel on Thursday night, but I got lonely and had a bad dream, so mom let me climb up in the bed and I snuggled up and slept all night near her. It feels good to lick her face at night…even though she says to “shhh” alot. I got my first really good night’s sleep.. and I think mom did too finally!

Today is Friday.. and I am even more playful..mom spent a lot f time with me this morning..and I followed her around the house and wagged my tail a lot.. she seems to like that! We went to the office again..and Elizabeth came across the street in the rain to see me. Eliizabeth also gave me a present.. a really nice Christmas present and I licked her and chewed on her for it!  My mom almost cried again.. I can’t figure it out.. but I licked her a lot too.
Later Lisa stopped in..and then we left. When we got home a few people stopped in,..mom still has that jewelry show going on.. and eveyone that came through loved on me! Bert and Tish stopped in and Bert told me I looked like a baby lab.. maybe like a gray “Tebo”, his dog! 
It’s getting late.. and I am tired from playing with my toys and playing outside in the rain today…I liked that by the way.. the puddles especially!  I thank you for helping mom and me over the last few days…I feel really good.. and now I have the hiccups again.. so I am going to curl up near mom and call it a night…
