Upset Tummy Monday

Howdy! Sorry I haven't been on the computer much...mom is limiting my time since we are doing more exercises to walk. It was a busy week last week...mom noticed I have a tickle response on my side now. Mom, we know it works, can you please stop doing it all the time? I don't think mom will stop...she is happy about it. I am trying harder and harder to get up and move around. We are doing standing exercises and I can hold my self up for a few seconds. Mom said my tail it getting stronger too. On Saturday we went to a physical therapist. She gave me a great massage, showed mom how do it too and then she used some laser thing to help loosen up my muscles. She then did some kind of neuro stimulator thing on my back. Mom thinks it maybe helping already. We have been doing our exercises...mom has to pinch in between my toes...this makes my leg move...it is annoying but good for my reflexes. I am having a rough night though, mom thinks I may have eaten a bee...I don't remember doing that, but maybe I did. I tried to eat some dinner but kept burbing and feeling sick. I did have some cheese...oh and my cream cheese a little bit ago. Oh, I have too loose my Buddha belly...not good for my spine...mom says I can still have my cream cheese...I was relieved. But I am getting some crunchy vegetables now with my food...they are pretty tasty...mom says they are good for me...not as good as cream cheese...but the orange things are sweet...mom calls them carrots. Wish I could have more cream cheese tonight...mom is worried about me...I don't want to worry her...but I just don't feel great. Oh well...better get some rest...hope I feel better tomorrow...I bet mom does too...Nite...Tail Wags and Kisses Fozzie

Hot...Nice Weekend!

Hi Everyone! Foz here...sorry for the lag in posting...mom wouldn't let me on her computer because it was so hot. We spent alot of time outside relaxing instead. I kind of liked that...love spending time with mom...she is always so busy helping others...love when she helps me too. I had a good week, except for the heat...have really been trying to stand up more...I have been getting a lot more time out of Alcatraz, I love that! Mom is letting me play more and it feels good to stretch out. I am loosing my teeth! Mom says it is okay...she seemed kind of happy actually...it does hurt a little...so I haven't been really hungry...mom was worried, but I do eat, so she can relax. Besides, I have a Buddha belly according to mom...LOL silly mom. Saturday was so hot here...got to go into the kiddie pool to cool off. Didn't have ice cream though...got some of that today! I did have lots of cream cheese...I still wonder if ice cream is just really cold cream cheese...mom just laughs when I ask her. I think I may have another favorite thing...ANTLERS! They are fun to chew on...mom says no animals are harmed...that makes us happy! I think they taste yummy. Mom says it has been 5 weeks since my surgery...my back is feeling pretty good...I can actually lay on my side and I was trying to roll over yesterday...but wasn't really ready yet. Mom smiled, she said that is a good improvement. Mom was walking outside today and I actually stood up and took 3 steps on my own...then I flopped over...but she said I was a good boy...I got lots of hugs for that. I just wanted to see mom. I got to sleep under her chair today...we napped together outside...it was nice...I love spending time with mom. This week we find out if I can go swimming...mom hopes so...she says my back legs are starting to bow...not sure what that means...I know my legs are crossing over...mom always makes me correct it...I wag my tail more...that makes mom smile. Well, mom says I need to go and get my rest...need to grow up big and strong...she is so silly...hopefully it won't be so hot so mom will let me on the computer during the week...talk soon!

Four Weeks Post Op

Hi Ho! Happy Sunday! It has been a rough couple of days for me...I felt like I was going backwards for the past few days. I peed and pooped on mommy a few times...she didn't mind...I love mom. Mom was worried though about my walking...my legs weren't working like they had been. I was trying so hard, but they just wouldn't listen. Mom kept telling me to take it slow...I got frustrated...she gave me cream cheese...love mom. Today I woke up and felt good! I didn't pee on mom...it was a good morning. Mom took me walking around with my sling and the legs were listening...mom was happy...me too. I had breakfast...took a nap and then got to hang outside for a while. Mom even let me escape Alcatraz! I was so happy that I actually stood up! Mom was so happy...she had a big smile...I got more cream cheese...we were happy. Mom says in two weeks I go the surgeon for a follow up and hopefully I will get some more freedom. I like it, so much so I actually feel asleep...go figure...I get out and pass out...I am silly. Does anyone know who Budha is? My mom is teasing me again I think...she is silly. Oh well...I had a busy day...mom was home with me! She hung out with me...she said it was in my lair...she also said it is good to be the king...guess I am king foz...wonder if I get more cream cheese...I want some ice cream too...haven't had it in a while...mom used to take me for ice cream...hope we can do that again soon...time for bed...mom says I need my rest to grow big and strong...Tail Wags...Fozzie

Shake, rattle and roll!

Hi Ho, Foz here...what a day...I was sitting minding my own business, chomping on a bully stick and then my bed started moving! Mom said it was an earthquake, I don't really know what that means, but it was scary and really disrupted my chewing groove...sigh...glad everyone is okay. Mom is silly, she always tells me it is the little things that make her smile. Yesterday I stood up on my own and held it for a few seconds, she was so happy, got lots of good boys...I gave her a tail wag...she smiled. I am going to keep trying to get up more...it is hard though. I tell my body what I want to do, but it doesn't want to listen. Kind of like my bone...I growl at it when it doesn't listen...still no adult teeth. Mom says my puppy teeth hurt...they don't bother me...I was playing with my dog bone toy today...it felt good on my gums...mom thinks I am teething (I think she is hoping) I was taking a nap before and I was able to lay on my side with my legs out in front of me...I wasn't able to do that before...my back would hurt...mom thought it was a good sign. She loves looking for signs...me, I just like being comfy. I have a very comfy bed...mom and dad make sure I have lots of cushions and a pillow for my head. I like laying on the pillow. I wonder why mom was calling me King Foz the other day...better than Fozzie Motto, but I don't get it. Oh well, better get some rest before the house shakes again...glad dad was home today...Tail Wags, Fozzie

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July everyone! I had a good day today...Mom was telling me I was a good boy after peeing on my own and I wagged my tail! She was so proud of me...I was pretty happy too. I know mom gets so happy with the little things I do. She loves me no matter what...she makes me feel special...I am happy as mom is off tomorrow! We will get to do more exercises in the morning. I am not a fan of the exercise...but mom knows best. I was walking around in my sling today...mom says I was doing pretty good...sometimes my legs just go all over...they don't want to listen to me...not sure why...oh well. I had cream cheese...love cream cheese...I am still pretty sure mom is hiding pills in there...but I don't mind. I got to chew on a bully stick today...they sure taste good...mom still won't tell me what it is...wonder where cream cheese comes from...it is so good it must be somewhere special...love cream cheese. I had a pretty busy day today...spent alot of time outside...I was playing with my bones and balls. Mom even gave me some out of the pen time...I enjoyed that...it is nice to be out sometimes. I know mom worries about me getting frustrated and upset...I am trying not too. Still have my puppy teeth! Mom says they are very sharp...her arm is soft and tasty...I am not allowed to chew on it though...I don't understand why...she is mom...so I have to listen...love mom. Well, it is getting late and I need my rest (that is what mom always says and she is pretty smart) Oh, my hair is growing back and my owie on my back is almost all healed! Mom can't call me Fozzie Moto anymore...she did though...not recently...maybe she forgot...as long as she doesn't forget my cream cheese it is okay with me. I hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th of July. (especially my canine pals!) Tail Wagz, Foz.

Happy Friday!

Hi Ho Foz here...Mom finally let me on the computer...she has been really tired all week...I have been keeping her busy :-) Today was a good day...I didn't have any accidents in my pen AND I didn't pee on Mom! She was so happy she kept calling me her good lil'man...I liked that. I even wagged my tail! Mom says it is the little things that keep us going...so I guess not peeing on mom is a good little thing. I have been letting mom do my range of motion exercises, I know she is helping me, so I try not to get frustrated. Today we laid on the dog bed together, I like when we cuddle...she sneaks the exercises in while we are cuddling...she is a smart mom. I am still not walking or really getting up much on my own...I hope I can do it soon...I know...I have to be patient...it is hard. At least I didn't take it out on mom this week. I am lucky...mom doesn't get mad at me...she does get sad...but I am always her lil'Fozzie Booboo Head...oh no more swelling...hot compresses did the trick. You know what? I love cream cheese. I had some before...I still think mom hides pills in there...but I don't mind...cream cheese is yummy. I do like bully sticks...cream cheese is better. Ever wonder where cream cheese comes from? I do...Mom said we have a holiday weekend...that means mom is home an extra day...YEAH! More mom time for me...that makes me happy. Still a little bummed I couldn't go swimming...but the surgeon knows best and Mom doesn't want anything bad to happen to me. Well...it is getting late and mom says I need my puppy rest. (I just think she wants her computer back...moms!) Have a very safe and happy 4th of July...make sure your furry friends are inside and safe...mom says I will be tucked in long before the booms come. Nite All...Licks...Foz
