Hospitals and a Mum Pupdate.

Hiya all,

As some of you know, on the 5th January my mum packed a small wheelie bag and left me. She went to a place like this:

She even had her own room - it was number 407

The first day was horrible - she tells me she was "put to sleep" and then doctors cut open her tummy, and took out her lady part. She tells me she was very crook for quite a few hours after that. 

 I don't know what the big deal is - I HAD that DONE when I was six months old see:

You didn't see me lying around feeling sorry for myself.... well okay - busted - but it didn't take me long to be runnin' around back to normal.

Really - she did it sooooo tough. She had her room cleaned and bed made up everyday .... she could watch TV whenever she wanted. She even had her own private baffroom.

The nice ladies gave her shortbread cookies with her cups of coffee and hot chocolate!!

Other nice ladies brought her awesome foodables like Shepherds Pie, veggies and mash, ice-cream and fresh fruit salads. She could drink as much juice as she wanted too.

She didn't even have to wash the dishes either!!

She did lots of "walkies" around the hallways - even late at night if she wanted.

Orchids were brought to her.

In fact, this is what she thought of her hospitals. Frankly my friends - I think she gots WAY too COMFORTABLES.

She even started to take Hospital Selfie's !! This one she posted on Facebark!

And check this out. When the Choccy muffins and cakes started arriving for morning/afternoon tea ... quite frankly I thought she ain't ever comin' home!!

I heard about all of this ... and eventually cracked and sent dad dad to go and get her BACK:

Oh thank goodness you got her outa that Hospitals place!! Did you have to prise her fingernails out of the doorframe to move her out?? It wouldn't surprise me.

And your first task ma .... is to give me a neck scritch ... yea that's the spot!!

I, Rubie, want to send a very special SHOUT OUT/ BARK OUT to my Auntie K who lives in Florida in the USA. She has lots of health issues and was kind enough to keep an eye on ma and say lots of nice things to her to help her heal.

It's worked Auntie K. You are a real nice lady and my ma values your friendship very much.

Mum is still being lazy but is probably doing a bit more than she should. But she says she feels good, but gets tired easy. Her pain levels are much much better too. I'm still not allowed to jump up on her and do my signature MOVE (mum calls it a double fist pump into the abdomen!! he he)Won't be long and she will be chasing me (I loves that!) and throwing my balls for me once again.

In my next post I'll have more info on our New House Project!

Scarlet the FASHIONISTA!

Hey - it's the day after Scarlet's surgery (see earlier post) - and she has just sent me some updated photos. See what you think:

She wants to show you her new T-Shirt that her dad bought her this morning. She is relieved that she is out of the re-fashioned pillacase! This is much more like it!

She is also reporting that she is felling a little sleepy and lazy today - so is spending most of the day in her sheepskin basket. Mind you it is forecast to be hot here today - 36 degrees c - that's 96.8 F!! When it is hot we mini schnauzers don't want to do much anyway!

Whew!! that's two blog entries that DON'T contain any pics of me!! I'd better do something quick!

Well.... I was gonna do something quick..... but it's hot, and this was all I can manage! 

SURGERY! Poor Scarlet!!

Uncie (mums brother) has my two cousins, Scarlet and Zoe. Yesterday poor Scarlet had a bummer drag day. She had a little cyst that popped up on her back, and uncie was advised by the vet to have it removed while it was still small. Urrrcchh!

The day started off normal enough until Scarlet was the only one allowed to go in the car and Zoe stayed at home alone.

ZOE: Hey, Scarlet just left with dad, how come I have been left behind! I never get left behind!

ZOE: Yay - dad came back - but where is Scarlet?? Is she hiding between these chairs????

Zoe tells me that she had quite a few hours of "quality time" just with her dad, and they got to chill and play games together. Zoe was a little concerned over where Scarlet was. Then her dad left and came back with Scarlet.

SCARLET: Hey - I was very excited to be at the vets! I like it there because that's where I did puppy school and whenever we go there - all the nurses and doctors GUSH over me!

ZOE: They GUSH over ME too!!

SCARLET: Anywho, today they did this thing called "cyst removal" - all for my own good - oh and my nails appear to be clipped too! Not to mention that my perfectly groomed coat is now ruined with this shaved patch! It was all a bit traumatic - but probably more so for dad! As soon as I got home I rubbed my back on the furniture and things started bleedn' again, dad was not amused!

SCARLET: So he had to knock up a dress for me to wear quickly - to "protect" my wound!

ZOE: Awww, it's not so bad Scarlie, it's actually kinda cute. It's an old pillacase that he had to re-fashion slightly - you were too small for his T-shirt! Lemon is not bad on ya either!

SCARLET: Yea, but he could'a done a bit nicer job with the cutting, looks kinda rough around the edges don't ya think?

ZOE: All part of todays fashions dudette! You look wicked! 

SCARLET: That means good, no?

ZOE: Affirmative Scarlie, look at the bright side - you are gonna be spoiled rotten for a couple of days coz dad's probably gonna worry till you are ALL better. That means TREATS! And that means we BOTH will get em'!!

SCARLET: You got it all worked out little sis, yea we will milk this situation. I wanna just nap first. Then we can start the TREAT campaign! There's just one more thing sis.....

ZOE: Yea what???

SCARLET: YOU'RE haven' the next surgery OK??!!??

ZOE: (GULP!)

Horrible day don't you think? At least the little cyst problem has now been "nipped in the bud".

Let's wish Scarlet a speedy recovery and I will see her and Zoe in person again on Monday.
