stage 1

Today is a big day for me.  Mom took me to the vet this morning saying something about, “snip-snip” Doesn’t sound good does it??  On the ride over she gave me a special chew toy, again thinking this isn’t good.  Anyways, once at the vet they weighed me and I’m up to a whole 9.5 pounds!!  Can you believe just five months ago I was only 2 pounds?!  The vet is so nice and likes to hold me when I’m there.  She said I had a puppy tooth they needed to pull today that hasn’t fallen out.  You would think with all of the chewing I like to do it would have. 

Mom had to leave me, but came back later to meet Kate our rep from OrthoPets.  While I’m asleep Kate is taking x-rays of my nub and then making a casting of it for my new prosthetic leg.  She said we’ll have a test model in hopefully TWO weeks!!  Mom and I are so excited.  Kate is hoping that I adapt quickly to it, says having so many brothers and sisters might make it easier for me to forget it’s on and use it.  Can’t wait for mom to pick me back up today.  I think I just want to go home and snuggle with her the rest of the night.  I am sure I’ll be back up tomorrow like a crazy pup.
