I'm back

Hi, everybody. I'm back from my trip. It's a funny thing. This place seemed way far away when I was going, but the trip back seemed much shorter. The amazing thing is that my mom drove me there. I always ask her to drive me places and she always says no. This time, I didn't even ask.

The people who worked at the place I stayed were really nice, and they even sent me home with a goodie bag. I feel like a celebrity. Oh, and the food was the best of any hotel where I've ever been! I think they have a chef, instead of a kibble-out-of-a-bag-scooper.

Lizbit has been very nosy since I got home. She wants me to ask about her obedience test, but I'm not going to. (My mom already told me that she did okay.) I hope she'll get tired of sniffing me pretty soon, because this already is getting old.

I like being home again.

I'm glad you are home. It is the best place to be most of the time.

Welcome back, sweetie! We've all missed you, and are thrilled you are feeling well enough to be irritated by Lizbit.

Hugs and skritches!!

YEAH Annie is back!

We are SO glad that you are home with your family! We have missed your puppy prose!

In my mind's eye, I am petting you, and giving you happy warm comfortable hugs!

Yay! Annie's back! We missed you, Anniegrrl. LIzbit just missed you, and little sisters don't know how to say that except by being annoying.

What wonderful news. Take it really easy. I know that your mom will keep a close eye on you, and don't be afraid to tell lizbut to keep a good distance for awhile.

Yay Annie!

I am so glad to see you well enough to post.

Take time to recover completely.

I sent you a card. I hope you get it soon.

Love,

Christie

I was puzzled about Annie's referring to her past week as if it were a vacation at a resort. I asked. She said she is sick of being sick, and she doesn't want to think about hospitals. The "goodie bag" to which she referred is a plastic bag with replacement bandages, gauze, telfa pads, and her pills.

The surgeon vet has switched her antibiotic to cipro, and I had to go to Target to get the prescription filled. I was surprised and delighted that the Target pharmacy gave me their $4 "we'd better compete with Walmart" price, even though the prescription was for a dog, not a human. (The same prescription cost me nearly $39 when I had pneumonia, one of many reasons that I won't go to a CVC store again.)

After standing up for the entire trip home this afternoon (and typing a couple of posts), Annie was exhausted. She took a long nap with deep sleep. She woke up a little while ago, ate all of her dinner, and took her pills. The puppy has calmed down considerably, so I no longer feel as if I have to keep watch every moment.

Tomorrow I change the bandage. I'm sure I can handle it, thanks to the vet's innovation. It's brilliant in its simplicity -- "elegant" in the mathmatical sense. Four nylon loops are stitched into Annie's skin, one on each side of the wound well beyond the perimeter of the skin loss. Strips of gauze are threaded through the loops to tie like ribbons on a birthday gift over an absorbent pad. Thus, the bandage is loose enough to permit air circulation, while remaining securely in place. The "old way" required winding a stretchy wrap snugly all the way around the dog's body (and upper back legs to keep it from slipping.) If I can, I intend to stop by Annie's regular vet's office on Monday to show him this. I think it's something he may well want to adapt to future patients. Who knows? One of them might be mine.

Bozo told me to tell you that if need any help getting back at what ever laid you up, he can send some of the guard bunnies that patrol the outside of my house to take care of that for you. I think he ment for me to e-mail you a dog buscut, but I think he ate it (just like everything else). He doesn't type, but there was some crumbs on the floor by my desk, do maybe that's why they're there.

Get better real soon.

You're not under oath, Miss Annie. If those people at the vet's office did bad things to you or if you witnessed Mike Huckabee's son do something to one of the other dogs, you can tell us.

Great to have you back home at the Bored. Have some Milk Bones on me. Which flavor do you like?

nitrah55 · #20 Post by **nitrah55** » Sat Jan 12, 2008 8:24 am

Glad you're back. Don't forget to keep the TV remote and a plate of Oreos nearby.

Annie, we missed you so. We love you. You are awesome.

That would be really nice. I met a boy at the clinic -- a great big muscley mastiff, who stood outside my cage and talked to me. He was very friendly and handsome in a sort of rugged way. If I couldn't go to Las Vegas with him, I would like to invite him over to my house for lasagna.

He asked for my number, but I don't have a number. I told him my e-mail address, but he said he didn't know how to read and write. I was going to teach him, but we couldn't reach any books or magazines. Then his dad came to pick him up, and Mr. Dr. David took me somewhere else for the weekend. I hope I will see that boy again.

Thanks to all of you for saying nice things about me when I was gone, and for welcoming me back. I missed everyone!
