They're
OUT!!! Crikey .... was that ever an ordeal. If anyone ever comes at me with one of those staple gun things ever again I'm going to bite a chunk out of
THEM!! They didn't even work. They did
NOTHING!!!!!! I've still got a hole in me
AND the
VET said I've still got to be kept quiet. Hmmmmmmmph!! I took no notice of that. I've still gotta wear that collar thing too and I've got more of those
HUMUNGOUS Antibiotic pills to take. Fair dinkum ..... those GSD's sure did a job on me, aye?? Mum took me for a walk in the park the day after they came out. She felt sorry for me so thought a big walk would do me the world of good. Well I saw a pigeon on the ground and all of a sudden I was like one of those bucking bronco blokes. I backed out of my collar and I was off. I almost got that pigeon bloke but when he took off so did I. I ran and ran around that park like I've never ran before. Mum was yelling like
Easy's Mum, the banshee, but I couldn't hear her. I had the wind in my hair and I was running like there were no tomorrows. Crikey it felt good!! I did a few laps of the park before heading back to Mum who immediately put that collar and lead on me. Don't know why?? I'd had my run. I wasn't going anywhere. I didn't burst open. I'm still all together. What was she and the Vet so worried about? Ok ..... so I've got a bit of a hole and I'm going to have a bit of a scar. So what? My insides are still in. That's all that really matters, aye?? Mum is still keeping the collar on me. I s'pose that's for the best. I am a big licker and I don't think its such a good idea to lick the hole but she has relented a bit on the running. She is going to let me have a few small runs each day. Oh the joy!!!!!!!! Small runs ........ better than no runs, aye??
We've been going to see Nan each day. She always has a big smile for me but she's not at all well. Mum is so sad after we have been there. She feels so helpless. She just wants to make it all better for her but there's nothing she can do really. Nan is not eating and looks so very frail. The only thing she likes to eat is .......... you're not going to believe this ........... the only thing she likes to eat is .........
ICECREAM!!! What a sensible lady!!!!!! I love Nan. We always have a big cuddle.
Well things are slowly getting back to normal. Although I do have another problem. Since I haven't been running my toenails are out of control. They are so long. Mum got the cutter things out today but I'm going to make it awful hard for her. I'm always impossible ... but fair dinkum ......I'm going to be doubly impossible for her today. I've been through enough lately without having to put up with
THAT too, aye??
 |
| S'pose they are a bit out of control. |
 |
| Looking a bit better, aye?? But hey ..... it's itchy. I'd sure like to be able to get at it. |
Wanna run ........ Love, Charlie.
Pees ........ My
Enid's going to France for a holiday. How lucky is she??????????????????
Well, I can get da wantin to eat ice cream thing. Sendin purrs for you and your nan!
ReplyDeleteYeah .... and the bacon thing, aye?? Thanks for the purrs!!
DeleteNail trimmins are da worst. I hate em.
ReplyDeleteAnd scars make ya look tuff. At least dat are what I says.
Crikey Whitley ...... Mum laughed at your comment. What's with her?? She said "TUFF ..... you????? hahahahahahahaha".
DeleteHmmmmmmmmph!!!!!!!!
We're glad you're out running. That's what you need. We think Grandma should have all the ice cream she can eat! She has EARNED it!
ReplyDeleteShe sure has and it's not like its going to kill her now, aye?? When I'm 96 I'm going to have icecream for EVERY meal.
DeleteIce cream fur ev'ry meal-- sounds like a great ideer to me!! Hope ya heals up gud soon... I heals real fast--which is gud cuz if I gits a chance, I'll scratch or chew till I makes myself bloody.... coupla days later and ya can't evfun tell I did it!
ReplyDeleteSendin' big hugs fur you and yer Nan... and stay away from dose mean dogs...
Crikey Finley ..... just as well you heal quick, aye? Specially when you scratch and chew till you bleed. You need one of my blue collar things!!
DeleteI'm staying well clear of ALL GSD's Finley and Mum's paranoid about other dogs coming near me now. Even little ones. I did get to play with a Westie today. Crikey you blokes are a bit touchy until you get to know us, aye?? This little bloke was all agro at me for a while but then we were the best of mates and had fun together.
Great new that those horrid staples are out and your insides are still in!
ReplyDeleteGail tells me that when Human Granny was in hospital earlier this year, for about two weeks she would only eat ice-cream. We say give her lots! Gail also says she understands about the feeling sad and helpless bit.
Enjoy those runs Charlie!
Toodle pip!
Bertie.
It seems icecream is a big favourite with older folks, aye?? AND ME!!!!!! It's about all we can get Nan to eat so she is having as much as we can get into her. We know you and Gail understand how we are feeling. You are in exactly the same boat. We too have to travel to see our Nan. We just wish she could come home with us but it would be too much for her and it would also be hard for Mum to look after her. I guess we just have to do what we can when we can. I do my bit with cuddles. Bet you do too.
DeleteYayyyy!
ReplyDeleteOut with the staples!
Good.
And I have tootise nails like yours too,,even though they get trimmed now and then,,,and I run all around my yard and suchlike.
I hate that clipper thing:(
Sending hugs hugs from growlmy to your Mum and more to your precious Nan.
I send my good licks and wiggly tail wags, too.
Ice Cream?? Good cure fur a lot:))
I didn't let her do it Mr JF Sir. She's going to have another go today. Maybe if I get enough treats .........
DeleteThanks for the hugs, licks and wiggly tail. I'll pass them on to Nan.
Hari OM
ReplyDeleteYIKES those are TALONS.... let mum do the deed Charlie mate, and you will find it will add the feeling better and whole again (that's my theory and am sticking to it!)... Glad there were no negative effects from your AWOL episode.
Keeping your gran in prayers still - it as always more trying for those of us who have to stand by at such times. Big huggies to you and mum, with some extra wags, YAM-aunty xxx
I didn't let her do it yesterday, Aunty. She's going to have another go today. Good luck I say UNLESS there's heaps of treats involved.
DeleteThanks for thinking of my Nan. that's so nice of you Aunty.
Charlie I am soooo glad to hear you can go fur a run and not haf your insides drop out! Its great to hear you are getting better, you are a marvel!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about Nan, it must be so hard fur your Mum. Sending you lots of luffs and hugs Mum, wish we could make it betters fur you
Loves and licky kisses
Princess Leah xxx
Mum's glad my insides didn't fall out too, Princess. When I took off she was sure I would fall apart. Lucky I didn't aye???
DeleteThanks for those nice words about Nan Princess. That was so very kind of you and very much appreciated.
We're glad you got your free run, Charlie, but no insides were harmed.
ReplyDeleteIce cream solves all sorts of problems. Your nan is a very smart lady and we are sending her lots of healing thoughts.
Love ya lots♥
Mitch and Molly
Crikey it was good to run. I think we whippets have just gotta run. Lucky for me everything stayed in place, aye??
DeleteNan is smart. Just like me. We both LOVE icecream. thankyou so much for your kind thoughts.
Yup you need a pedicure for sure.
ReplyDeleteCrikey George ..... thanks for stopping by mate. It's good to meet you. You RV'ers are a good lot. Mum likes you all a lot. I think you're pretty good too but you got it wrong with the pedicure thing. I HATE pedicures. I DON'T need one. I was given long nails for a reason. wasn't I???????
DeleteCharlie... bless your little heart. You are correct those GSD did a number ON YOU. There is any extra skin or much furs so they got down to the skin quickly. It does look better. NO RUNNING YOUNG MAN!!
ReplyDeleteI do not like mani-pedis either. I proud to say it takes both of my peeps to do it too. It is the actual cutting of the nails it is the fact that Dad has to hold me like a baby while Mom does the deed. I not a lap cat so I'm not found of being held. MOL MOL
We are so sorry about your precious Grandma. Mom surely knows the helpless feeling your mom has. She went through the same with her mom in 2014. Mom said my Gma kept saying she was weary.
Sending hugs all around
Madi and Cecilia
Crikey Madi ..... you too??? It's the pits, aye?? Even if Dad holds me down I still pull my foot away when Mum goes to clip. She reckons she'll clip my whole foot off one day. Not if I pull it away in time!!
DeleteMy Nan doesn't want to be here anymore Madi. Like your Gma she keeps saying she's weary too. It's just sooooooooo sad and there's nothing we can do except be here when we can. Nan lives 1000klms from us and Mum doesn't like flying so it is a bit difficult. We are trying to spend as much time with her as we can but we have to go home sometimes..
Oh Charlie!!! Gets better soon. You're sooo brave I'm prouds of ya! Thats right, you just snuggles there with Nan and rest....I'll be sendings healing kisses. I know hows you feels about the nail cutter thingys (I just flatly refuse to puts up with them) buts you're very tolerant. I can't waits to go to France and tell you all abouts it!
ReplyDeleteMuch love,
Your Enid xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Crikey Enid ...... do you really think I'm brave?? I don't think I am really but the Vet said I was so maybe I am. Mum was very proud of me when I got those staple things out. I hardly kicked up a fuss at all. I was just so glad to get 'em out.
DeleteI can't wait to hear all about your trip to France. Crikey .... that's so exciting for you all. Have the BEST time but keep away from any black, french dogs you may meet. I hear those French blokes are hard to resist.
Always your Charlie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Oh dear Charlie we hope you heals quick. We all nose how irritating those itchies are!!!
ReplyDeleteYour Nan is a smart lady. Ice Cream is so yummy. We hope she starts feeling better too.
I'm ever so much better now thanks!! The itches are still there though but it is getting better every day.
DeleteWhoa, that scar yu got there is so Sexy! Yu know, us grrls luv the guys with scars!
ReplyDeleteBol!
How 'bout Duct tape? Yu got that where yu live? Yu could get wrapped up in duct tape an be good as new in no time.
Gentle hugs to yur Nan. Yu an her jus' need to eat ice cream, it is medicinal.
Crikey Zoe ...... SEXY!!! Do you really think so??? Crikey Sexy ..... ME!!!! Fair dinkum ...... it's almost worth getting a chunk out of me. Sexy ..... who knew?? You sheila's are a bit funny sometimes, aye??
DeleteYou should be a VET Zoe ....... Duct tape ..... what a good idea. That'd sure beat those staples and probably work better too.
Thanks for the Nan hugs. I'll pass 'em on.
Those GSD's did do a number on you, didn't they!!? We are glad you had a good run (and didn't hurt your owie place!).
ReplyDeleteWe are sending POTP for your Nan to feel better soon and we hope she feels better real soon!!
Smileys and Hugs!
Dory, Jakey, Arty & Bilbo
Thanks so much!!
DeleteWe're so glad you're feeling better.
ReplyDeleteSorry about Nan, though. Ghostwriter works with people like Nan at the nursing home. Sometimes they just stop eating and fade away. Don't worry. As painful as it is to watch, it is not painful to the person. In fact sometimes they get to a point when eating is too much of a burden, and systems slowly start to shut down. This is a natural process. Ghostwriter says she's also seen people live for years just on ice cream and milkshakes! You keep visiting, Charlie. Doggies are excellent therapists!
Crikey Chester and Joey. Thank the ghostwriter for us. Mum had kinda figured all that out but it's good to know that Nan is just doing what is natural. She says she doesn't feel ill just tired and a bit frustrated too we think. She just wants to go to sleep and not wake up.It's awful hard to watch though. She was always such a vibrant person. What will be will be I guess. She does love seeing me as do all the ladies. I ALWAYS make them smile and the nurses tell Mum they don't smile much at anything else. Nan likes seeing me more than she likes seeing Mum these days. Poor Mum ..... she does feel so useless.
DeleteBOL I wish you would have caught the pigeon but mostly I'm glad you didn't bust open. I always knew you were a tough bloke but now you'll have the scar to prove it. Prayers for Nan and Mum too.
ReplyDeleteAroo to you,
Sully
Thanks for the prayers and thoughts Sully. That's so nice of you.
DeleteI sure wish I got that pigeon too but at least I got a run and I didn't lose my insides, aye??
maybe you need to try grinding your nails - Mom uses a dremmel on our nails and we love it and find it very soothing
ReplyDeleteWe've heard about those dremmel things. I'll get Mum to look into it. Anything would be better than the dreaded choppers.
DeleteSo sorry about the remaining hole AND the collar thingie. But maybe it will just take a little bit longer for things to close up for good. Good luck with that nail trimming, not one of our favorite things either:(
ReplyDeleteNow ice cream!!!! - that's something we can sink our teeth into - we all LOVE ice cream. Poor Nan - can't be very easy on Mom. Please give her lots of sloppy kisses from us.
Woos - Ciara and Lightning
Thanks for the sloppy kisses. They always make Mum feel better.
DeleteI'm getting better every day. The hole thingie is almost gone this morning although it did leak a bit when I went for a little run. It's ok though.
We think you need nail polish then ice scream
ReplyDeleteLily & Edward
Nail polish ..... what a good idea. AND icecream ..... an even better idea!!
DeleteIt does look much better Charlie, and gosh it must feel good to have those staples out!
ReplyDeletehugs
Mr Bailey, hazel & mabel
It's a lot better today. I'm almost back to normal. It is sooooooooo good to have those staples out. They were brutal!!
DeleteCharlie - so sorry about your Nan. But hugs from you and ice cream do help during a sad time. We had to get our nails clipped today but Mom and Dad have given up trying to do ours. They take us to a groomer and get it over and done with. I think your side looks a lot better. Just behave yourself though.
ReplyDeleteScootz and Skitz
Mum took me to a groomer to get mine done once and they cut one of my nails real short and I bled ..... a LOT!!! Now she won't let anyone else do them. She's VERY protective of me. Why does she let me play with GSD's then????????? I'm being good ..... honest!!!
DeleteWhoa, what did we miss? Did you get hurted while we were on vacation? You better just chillax and heal and have some ice cream with your Nan!
ReplyDeleteYour Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
Yep Murphy and Stanley ..... I got hurted ..... AGAIN!!!! But I'm ok now, thanks!!!!
DeleteI agree about scars making you look tough! I've had 14 surgeries in my life, and I have the scars to prove it. I'm proud of them and I hope you're proud of yours, Charlie. Sending lots of warm thoughts to your Nan... I'm glad she loves ice cream.
ReplyDelete14 surgeries???????? Crikey .... that's a lot!!! I'm up to number 3 and I hope that's as far as it goes.
DeleteAw a lady who likes to eat only ice cream is good in my book. :) Hope she's feeling better friend.
