Well, mom was out of town, of all things for a week in Cancun to get away from the grind of work! She had a blast, apparently, without me. While gone, she brought in a lovely babysitter who was with me night and day and loved me very much! I got to wrap Sherry around my paw and showed her where I love to walk, took her to the barber shop and Dogromat to get special treats. I had a total field day with her. Mom was a bit shocked to see me the evening of my birthday when her plane flew in on April 26, 2014. I had gotten the babysitter to get me so many treats (she bought me two huge bags of treats) and 8 adorable squeaky toys and balls which was fabulous. I had gained over a pound! On a 23 pound dog...that is alot! So, I looked like a little pig racing happily around the house, chasing my new squeaky balls and having the time of my life! I barely noticed mom walk in from the airport at 9:00PM. I was happy to see her, but had a blast.
While away, I was up for a job but because the pay was not up to par, we decided to pass. Then, the next day, mom looked at my ear and I had developed a "boo-boo" on my ear ...better known as a blod clot that had to be removed. Poor mom, she was beside herself, but got me into the vet and they said it is common....and could be 100% removed surgically. While under, she had them do everything as Frenchies are not good breathers, so it's not good to do too many surgeries. She had them clean my teeth, remove a mole on my back and a skin tag. I came out with a cone on my head. She asked the vet when she came to pick me up: Did Rocky bark alot in the cage? They laughed and said: "Absolutely not!" He is just talking and mumbling to us! He wants to go home!" I came out of there looking like an Iraq war vet with a huge ace bandage covering my head and ear and stitches in my back. She gave me pain pills twice a day and medication to prevent infection. I was, however, happy as a lark to get out of there. She fed me by hand in the cone and I was the perfect patient. Two weeks later, bandage is gone, ear is perfect and I'm ready for work! Okay, Hollywood....I'm ready for my photo shoots and commercials! Bring them on......
Love,
Rocky the Angel Therapy Dog
