Mom calls me CANDY!

I was waiting for my mom at the garbage dumpsters. I waited in the cold for a long time. Then on Sunday night November 8 she came. I saw her pull in and I knew she was my mom. I whimpered and called to her as she was throwing the bags out of the back of the truck. I knew she was my mom. Whenever I would whimper she would stop and look around for me. When she finally found me I was scared and ashamed. I was cold, dirty and my legs hurt so bad, but she was talking nice to me. I had to wag my tail. When she saw my tail wag a big smile came across her face.

When she picked me up it hurt, but I did not complain. She was still talking nice to me. I got a little bit scared when I overheard her saying something about what she wanted to do to the people that left me there. Anyway…She put me in the truck seat and we went home.

Ahh, it was warm. My new mommy gave me some water and a box with a towel in it to sleep in. I slept so good that night. In the morning someone named "Grammie" took me to a place where there were lots of other animals. This lady in a white coat gave me a bath. They did what they called "an examination". They said something about having a broken leg and that my pelvic bone was fractured in two separate places. They cut away the skin from where my leg was hurt. They put some medicine on it and put this white bandage around it.

I had to spend the night there with all the other animals. I was a little bit worried that my mommy had forgotten about me. But the people there were talking nice to me and told me it would be OK.

Mommy did come and get me. The lady in the white coat told her what to do for me and that she felt I would recover. Mommy put me in the carrier and said "Let's go home!"

Since then I have met many new friends. Sylvester and Ringo are my buddies. We play together at Grammie's house while Mommy is at work. I share my puppy chow and water with them. They share their toys with me. Sometimes they even share Grammies lap. We all snuggle up together and take a nap.

There is a big dog named Chip. He sniffs at the carrier each time Mom takes me to or from Grammie's. He seems like a nice dog, but he is so big. Mommy says soon Chip and I can play together. We just gotta wait until my bones are stronger.

Here are some photo's of me. They have been saying that I am a beagle mix. But I believe I am ONE LUCKY PUPPY!
This is me at Grammie's. If you look closely you can see the bandage on my back paw. Sometimes I get bored and I pull it off.

Mom and Grammie always wrap it right back up. It is so much fun to play this game. I like to chew on the wrap while they are putting it on. By the way, What does "NO CANDY" mean?
Here I am wearing my new collar. I've never had my own collar before. Mom says everybody's puppy has to have a collar. 

I am very proud of mine. 
Now this is me and my buddy Sylvester. We play this game where Sylvester goes into my carrier and tries to get my toys.

Then I go in the carrier and Sylvester climbs on top. 
 
 

Sometimes we take turns chasing each other's tails. Grammie and Mommy just laugh at us.

Geez, I sure was cute when I was little wasn't I.  That was about two months ago, now I am almost grown.  Mommy
and Grammie say what a big puppy I am.  They cannot believe the way I have grown.  Grammie says that we will
look funny when I get as big as chip and still lay in her lap. ( I think that means that she would let me in her lap no
matter how big I get!)

My leg is healed.  No more bandage.  I can run and play as much as I want to.  I get to go outside now.  I go
out and play with Chip for about an hour at a time.  Then I get to missing Grammie and go back inside to
snuggle.  I stay at Grammies all the time now.  Mommy comes to see me everyday.  Since I am pretty much taking
care of myself these days, Grammie lets me stay with her.  I think I have her where I want her.  She doesn't let me
sleep on top of her head, but she does let me on the couch at her feet.  Mommy doesn't always keep her house as
warm as she should and she doesn't want me to catch cold going back and forth.  ( I like staying at Grammies
anyway.  She always has time for snuggling and she lets me carry her houseshoes for her.
