Ok for starters I am typing with one paw these days. I have a medial condile fracture in my left elbow. Yea, I didn't know had elbows either. Basically, I have a broken leg. I'll get to that later. First, I have to tell you how f-a-t Denise has gotten, she is very sensitive about it, so be careful. Apparently she is due, excuse me 'past-due-dam-it!' (her words), to have a baby (any day now). From the looks of her you'd think she was having a litter. Humans get so wrapped up in having a baby. yes, 'a baby' just one, my kind, we have multiples, all the time and they don't need all the stuff a single human baby needs. You should see what Denise and Mike have done around here. The back bedroom has new 'baby furniture'. There is all kinds of stuff back there, clothes, toys, blankets, playmats and diapers. Diapers, I don't see why they don't just throw some newspaper down. For goodness sake the weather is getting warmer I am sure their little pup would like to be outside, they don't need diapers! The meat locker room is filled with other baby stuff, playpens, car seats, swings, you name it, they've got it (and more than one of each item). They have so many wonderful and generous friends and family members. There is a pretty little bed in our bedroom but apparently it is off limits for me. Which is fine because I can't jump into it with this darn cast. Maybe Denise is having a litter! I sense that there is only one. Plus that is what Denise keeps saying.
Denise has been around for quite a few days now. I don't think she is working anymore. I like having her around. I get to go outside more during the day. She hasn't taken me for any walks, and Lord knows she could use the exercise herself. But apparently, I am not allowed to go for long walks, something about knocking the pins out of my elbow. She spends her days walking around cleaning and picking up after Mike and I oh and herself; she is probably the messiest. Have you seen her closet?? She has vacuumed my hair of the couch several times over the past few days. She has also been taking me outside to brush me. She hates my hair. It's one of the things that makes me so pretty.
When Denise is lying around I get to see her belly move, which my guess is, it's her pup. I have felt the little sucker kick a few times when Denise was keeping me warm. I've never had any pups myself but I image that must feel pretty strange. I am excited to meet the little tike. I hope it will share it's cookies with me, most kids love to do that.
Oh back to my broken leg, I'm old and clumsy. I shouldn't jump and run on hardwood floors. They are slippery. Denise and Mike should really do a better job of keeping my toenails trimmed. I lose all traction when they are too long. I know about all the things I shouldn't do, but I am still going to do them. I am a naughty dog with a reputation to uphold!
