Home Again

I was abandoned. Left to fend for and worst yet, entertain myself for days on end. Ok so maybe it wasn't all that bad but after all this time of being at my humans side the separation was very very hard.

My human has been having trouble with her hip for quite some time now. Yes this is partly my fault and I know it. As a puppy I did drag her around and bump in to her a little too much but I didn't know any better at that time and I know my human doesn't harbor any blame towards me.

Well the day for her operation to fix, or to be more precise, replace, to replace that hip came. My human did everything she could to ensure I'd be well cared for while she was in the hospital. I had visitors stop in several times a day to feed, play with, and brush my fun. Oh how I love the brushings! Even Raine got to come over to play with me for awhile one evening, which was awesome.

Still it just wasn't the same around here without my human. I lost the urge to bark at the neighbor kids, or anyone for that matter. I didn't eat with as much vigor as usual, heck even the bird Pogo barely touched her seed. It was simply too quiet around the house.

Finally after 6 days of isolation I heard the familiar sound of my humans van pull up in the drive and I started to wiggle with excitement. First entered my humans' mother who quickly grabbed my collar and held me back as my human drove her scooter in the door. Once inside the house there was no way the mom could hold me back. I leapt and danced and pushed myself along side the scooter and cried with joy to see my human again and she was just as excited to me see! Though humans don't wiggle in the same cute fashion as us dogs. They need to work on that.

Now she's home. Things are better but not back to normal yet. She's still quite sore and isn't walking yet. I guess she isn't allowed to walk for several more weeks. I'm sure things will get back to normal once she's on her feet again, in the mean time it's just so nice having her home once again.

Oh and yes I have resumed my duties of home protection, patrol and barking at the neighbors.
