Woof Wednesday

Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle and I’m back! Well actually I never went anywhere, except to the Vet, but I’m back from being sick.

I guess it was pretty serious. Grammy says I had “Aspiration Pneumonia” or something like that. She uses those big medical words. I don’t think I swallowed any Aspirators but you never know. All I know is I felt big time yucky. I gave Grampy a scare I guess because last Monday when he filled my bowl I just sniffed it and walked away. Yeah! Me! Can you believe it?! I even saw him pick up the bowl and sniff it too to see if it went bad. HA! He looked silly. I wonder if he would have tasted it? That would have been funny. Then at dinnertime I didn’t even get off my bed.

Yeah I was pretty sick for a couple days. I had to go back and forth to the Vet for a few days and I didn’t even care. I was like, “We’re going out Grammy? Okay. You drive this time, I’ll just sleep here.“

The doctor says I have to rest. For a few days I was getting carried upstairs to bed. That was kind of nice! We have a lot of stairs when you realize I have such little legs. Grammy or Uncle Matt carried me up to bed. That was cool! They stopped doing it after a couple of days though. They said I was getting better. Darn it!

The doctor gave me some new medicine. I don’t know what it is but Grampy says he hopes I don’t get “Roid Rage.” We just humor him and giggle. I couldn’t even take any medicine when I was at the Vet that first day. They stuck a needle or something in my leg and put it in that way. THEY SHAVED MY LEG! I’m just glad I have nothing formal planned for this month and it should grow back in time for the holidays.

Yeah so the medicine went in my leg which I thought was stupid because my leg felt fine but what do I know. Now that I’m better I’m back to my crackers and peanut butter.

I can’t go on any walks until maybe next week. That’s a bummer because Baxter gets to go and smell everything. Not me. Grampy stays with me so I won’t be lonely and then he goes for his walk later. I told him he could use my leash but he never takes it. I guess the color doesn’t match his hat.

So yeah I’m gettin’ better. Grampy had some cookies the other night and I hopped right up on his belly. Sarah, my mom, started that when I was a puppy. She used to eat the inside of the Oreos and she gave me the shells. I still do it with Grampy but he gets grumpy and there’s nothing worse than a grumpy Grampy.

Oh I’m doing much better with that Roomba thing. I think it helped that I was sick as I was getting used to it.

It would go by me and I was so sick I just figured, “Whatever.” I just go somewhere else if it bothers me. I guess it’s not trying to eat me after all.

Well I gotta get going. Grammy said I lost three pounds when I was sick and I’m determined to put those back!
