OH MUM, POOR MUM!!

This was me when we got home from our loooong trip  a week ago!!  As you can see, I just about made it into the apartment before zonking out.

I had a long talk with Mum on our way out this morning!!  Among other things, I told her that she needs to spread out her doctor's appointments so that she does not have so many in one week!!!  She explained that this is not always possible, but she will try.  I also told her that I wanted to go more places with her.  She has often said that I am so well behaved on the van and in stores.  However, she says that certain appointments (i.e., mri's, xrays, etc) it does not work out well for me to go with he.  ***Big sigh***

Besides running around to all these doctors, mum has been trying to find a good product liability lawyer.  She THOUGHT she had one, but a few weeks ago he told her he could not represent her (the reason he gave had absolutely nothing to do with the lawsuit!).  Anyway, part of the problem is that the statute of limitations is up the beginning of December, and several of the attorneys mum has spoken to have told her there is not enuf time.  If she does not find one soon, she is going to have to make the initial filings pro se until she can find a lawyer!!!  She has been under so much stress because of this .........

Hmmmm--thought mum had forgotten about this!!!!  This Is my hiding place when it storms!!!  I am going to have to hid her camera at embarrassing times like this.

Well, I hope I will have some better pic and things to talk about in a couple of days.

COOKIE IS HIDING IN THE BATHTUB

Mum here:

Cookie was busy telling me to do a post today about her hike yesterday, when it started to thunder and lightning and so, of course, she had to go and hide in the bathtub!!!!  She asked me to do the post instead -- oh, the things I do for that pup --lol.

Anyway, I had to pick up a letter from the post office.  For some reason the mailman will not bring certified letters to our apartment.  Instead, he leaves a notice in the mailbox and because the recipient has to be present to sign for it, I had to go to the post office.  I decided we would go to Udall Park first.  Because it was later than we usually go, none of her buddies were there -- but she had fun with all the new buddies she made.  (Udall Park is about 1 mile from home and the PO is about 2 miles beyond that -- I was in my chair and she was walking beside me)..We got to the post office before they opened, so had to wait a while (of course Cookie lay down while we were waiting).  We then went to Target cos I needed to get a couple of things and it was right around the corner.  While we were there, I realized that Cookie had not eaten yet (it was about 9 by this time) so I got her one of her favorites -- the Beneful in the plastic container, and while we were waiting for the van home, she ate it.  She was VERY glad I had arranged to go home by van, but because she  had not been with me on the van for a while, I totally forgot her extra leash and so had to take off theone attached to the chair.  It had been there since last December, and I had a heck of a time with it.  Fortunately a lady came over and helped out by holding on to Cookie while I got it off!!  We finally got home (we had been out almost 4 hours) and we were BOTH EXHAUSTED.  It was the first time I had been out since Wednesday and I was really glad that the incision was not hurting (for about the first time).  I had intended to go to Udall this morning plus the grocery store, but I was still exhausted from yesterday and I have doctor's appointments every day for the rest of the week.

When the storms are over, I am sure Cookie will be very apologetic about not posting today, and will be back later in the week.  Probably not till the weekend because of my schedule and, as you all know you puppers and kittiehs need our help to post.

So, ttfn and toodle pip

Cookie's Mum

Let's see if SHE can post a pic of me!!

Yaaaaay -- good pic of me and my kitty sistah Tigger!!

Let's see if we can get one of both the kitty's

You can't really see their faces, but take it from me, it IS Tigger and Sixpence


Mum forgot all about Taco Day -- I can't blame her because of the pain she has had since Thursday morning.  She says she has to go to post office tomorrow and will TRY to stop at the taco shop nearby.  A lot depends on her wheelchair charging!!!

See ya soon

TA EVER SO

Just a quickie post to thanks you all on mum's behalf.  She is starting to feel better and is able to sit up more (with a pillow behind her back!).  And I am able to snoopervise more now that I have recovered.  Mum was worried cos I didn't eat much yesterday, but I reminded her that I had soooo much to eat at the dance that I was still full.

Well, Uncle Vic (and maybe Coco) are SUPPOSED to visit mum today --- hmmmmmmm

Gotta straighten up some

Mum is doing better

Mum says thanks for all the well wishes after her (not so minor, after all) surgery on Tuesday.  She was feeling pretty good yesterday and so went to her hand doctor, etc.  She has been really paying for it today and has been in bed resting.  I felt really sorry for her when she had to take me out because the area of the incision is right where her back meets the wheelchair!!!!  But she is such a trooper that she made sure I got a good run and then made sure Krysta took me out when she got here.

As you will see when you read Sarge's blog, mum also insisted that I go to the Sadie Hawkin's dance with Sarge.  She made sure my gown was ready and that I made it on time.  Thanks again mum, and I really thank Sarge's mum for making sure our picshurs go on the blog.

Sarge and I danced so much that I also have sore paws so I am gonna go take a rest now so I can take care of mum later.

Again, mum says thanks for all your well wishes

MY POOR MUM

No pics today!  Mum left me this morning (with a marrow one to chew on) to go to the hospital to have some minor surgery.  She had had this type of surgery and was not worried and expected to be home by about 7 pm.  Well, she didn't get home until after 9 pm -- she didn't get out of surgery until after 9 pm and by the time they managed to get a ride home for her ......

I am still gonna go with my date (Sarge) to Sadie Hawkins day dance.  Wait to see the gorgeous dress I will be wearing.  Sarge looks bery handsome to.  I am counting sleeps until then!!!!

YAAAAAY -- SHE DID IT

Mum FINALLY was able to post a picture of me by herself!!!!!  This picture was taken a couple of weeks ago when Krysta was brushing me!!!!  You can see the "extra pet" next to the wheel of the wheelchair.  Krysta gets this amount every time she brushes me!!!

 

Tigger and Sixpence here:  This is a picture of our two new scratching  posts.  You can see the smaller one right under the "Heidelberg" poster and the really tall one next to it.  We really LUV it -- especially when mum grinds the catnip she won from Ruby (Pip) and puts it on the various parts of the post.

 

 

Sixpence and Tigger here:  This is another scratching board that mum grinds catnip onto and puts it on there.  We have definitely not scratched on the furniture nearly as much.

 

Back to Cookie:  I am SOOOOOOO proud of mum for figuring out how to post the pics without the help of Best Buy.  She was s'posed to go there this morning but cancelled out cos it was too  hot and she didn't sleep well last night.

 

 

This is a picture of our next door neighbor, Buddy.  He is a 10 year old Chihuahua.  I have not met him yet -- I think mum is waiting for Phyllis to do the intro so that I don't go crazy!!!

 

Well, I think mum deserves a treat for doing such a good job!!!!
