Way too busy...

Hi everyone. Sorry I kind of disappeared for a while. I have been very busy lately. Back in March I found out that my Grandpa Harry had cancer. This made me very sad because I love him very much. At the end of March he was going to have surgery to remove the tumor. I heard Mommy and Daddy talking to Mama Angi a lot, but I didn't know what they were talking about. On Sunday, March 29, Mommy and Daddy took me over to Mama Angi's and Papa Jason's. I thought that I was just going for a play date, but then Mommy and Daddy left and didn't even take me with them. Besides the hospital, this was the first time I was away from Mommy and Daddy overnight. And, they were gone 2 nights.

On Monday, March 30, several things happened: 1) Grandpa Harry had his surgery, 2) I turned one year old!, and 3) Auntie Kirstin celebrated 11 years since her stem cell transplant. Mama Angi and Papa Jason even threw a birthday party for me with my friends Meg, Morocco Mole, Percy, Pudge, and Blossom. (You can read about blossom at http://www.furbabyrescue.com/Blossom.html). They gave me a hat to wear, but I HATED it and would not let them put it on. I did have fun and had some yummy treats with all my friends. I just wish that Mommy and Daddy and Moxie could have been there with me. (The pic is of me on the right and Morocco Mole on the left).

After Mommy and Daddy picked me up from Angi and Jason's house, they noticed that I was whining more than usual. They thought that I was just making them feel bad for leaving me, but really I was hurting. I don't really know why, and neither does the vet, but the gave me a checkup and put me back on the Prednisone. Mommy says it seems to be working cuz I'm not whining when she picks me up anymore. My balance is pretty bad again, though, and Mommy is thinking about taking me back down to the vet in Lynwood for another checkup with the neurologist. My neurologist is Dr. Kline, and she is amazing. she knew what was wrong with me and how to fix it. She took great care of me and I appreciate her very much. I'm pretty sure Mommy and Daddy feel the same way. :)

This morning Mommy and Daddy took me to an Easter party at Tails-a-Wagging. All of my friends were there playing, wrestling, and chasing balls. I felt pretty overwhelmed because of my balance issues, but I did manage to walk across the room several times before Mommy finally picked me up and put me in my Critter Tote. It was so fun watching everyone else playing and being so silly. I even got a nummy cookie that was made special by Mama Angi. YUM!!! When we got home, all of us were very tired so we laid down for a little nap. Speaking of nap, I think it's time for another one. I'll try to write about my adventures again, soon.
