Hi guys! It’s me…..Oscar your sick little Beagle.
I have pneumonia. (I checked with Grampy because I don’t know how to spell it. Why is there a “p”?)
Yeah Grampy says I was coughing all night and then Grammy came home and used some ear thingies that she uses on the ambulance and said my lungs sounded wet. I know my feet get wet when I go out in the rain but I don’t know how my lungs got wet. I actually don’t even know what a lung is I just trust my Grammy.
We went to the vet’s office. I usually hate the vet but there was no shot this time. He just listened to my lungs with his ear thingies and agreed with my Grammy. She’s a good Grammy.
They put me on some medicine and said I should rest. So instead of my usual routine of sleep, eat breakfast, go outside, sleep, sleep some more, eat dinner, go outside, lick the dishes in the dishwasher, sleep, then go to bed…..I guess I need to sleep more.
The only good thing about being sick is that I get to cuddle with my Grammy and Grampy and they let me snuggle and it’s okay to get up on the couch.
The other good thing is I get another cracker with peanut butter. That’s where they hide my medicine. They don’t think I know so don’t tell them. It’ll be our little secret. When we got back from the vet Grammy gave me my first dose. Baxter had to have a cracker and peanut butter too so he wouldn’t feel left out. The poor guy probably thinks something’s wrong with him and now he’s on more meds. He goes on Web MD too much.
Oh and ANOTHER good thing is I heard Grammy say that pneumonia is going to delay bath time for at least a week. Yay! I hate bath time. Baxter? You can thank me now or thank me later.
I’ve had pneumonia before. (Again, why is there a “p” in that word??) I don’t know if it’s because of the allergy condition I have or what ever else could cause it. I think it’s because Grammy and Grampy went away last week without us. I don’t think they should ever travel again.
Actually they were only gone a couple days. Uncle Matt took good care of us and it was nice to have the whole bed to ourselves. I only had to deal with Baxter and not Grampy tossing and turning and sticking his big feet in my face.
I better get going because I have to rearrange my whole schedule for the week so that I can rest. There just aren’t enough hours in my day.
I’ve been busy today chasing the sun spot.
Found it!
