SHE took me to a new hospital. SHE said it was a special place that would make me all better. Well I didn't like it much at all, although the people were very nice. First the vet tech looked me over, then I saw the doctor. SHE called her a neurologist, whatever that means. They said I was "bright, alert and responsive." Of course I was. I'm always that way. That's me. They also said I had "a mildly hunched back and slight weakness in the left hind limb" and that I was "uncomfortable on thoracolumbar spinal palpation. Meaning my back hurts and my left leg doesn't work quite right. I know that. I then had to go with the tech inside some doors. The gave me some stuff to put me to sleep and then I had what they called a myelogram/CT scan to see what was happening with my back. The next thing I know was I had to spend the night there.
SHE said they took a little bit of something behind my tongue to see how bad it was (a biopsy). They decided not to operate on my back. We have to wait a few days to find out how bad it is. The neurologist said she thought it was squamous cell carcinoma. Too big a word for a dog like me. I heard her tell my mommy to feed me soft food. YEA. That means SHE'll cook for me all the time.
I'm not supposed to go on walks for a while and I can't jump on furniture, so SHE can't leave me alone unless SHE locks me up in the study, where there's nothing to jump on. AND I don't have to go to the groomers today.
Just as I suspected...you´re being loved. All the signs were there and I guess you know it even if it does mean you´ll have to put up with the ¨restrictions¨...look on the tasty side of things, home cooking, our favorite. I wonder if you like chicken as much as I do? Actually, I like almost everything that is served up and mixed into my Pro-Plan...I even like some of the spicy stuff, but I´m from the Alta Plano and we can be a very spicy lot.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you dear beautious Isabelle. Do you know what Belle means in Spanish and broken Katchiquel? Well, you were named just right, ¨perfecto¨ we howl down South of the Borderway.

Thank you Coban Gonzalez. I'm doing a lot of sleeping. SHE is taking good care of me. I like spicy food too. There's a cheese that has peppers in it that I like a lot. I also like it when she makes Chile con Carne. Don't like the beans as much as the meat in spicy sauce. If I'm not too hungry, I leave some beans behind.
ReplyDeleteAnd I do LOVE chicken. It's one of my favorites. I like roast chicken with pasta or rice and some broccoli.
