My Big Day at the Doctor
Posted by on April 8, 2008, 9:58 pmToday is Tuesday and my mom took me to a special doctor to look at my leg. I was a little scared at first, but all the people there were really nice. Dr. Riemer even sat on the floor and talked to me real nice. It hurt when he was checking my sore leg, but I was a good girl and let him do everything he had to do. My mom promised me that he was our friend and would make me feel better. She hasn't lied to me yet, so I was even good and held real still when they took x-rays of my legs. Then Dr. Riemer talked to my mom some more and he wrapped my leg up in a fancy red splint. The bad news is that I have a small tear in my knee and my foot has lots of broken bones. No wonder I don't like to stand on it! The good news is that it's the kind of break and tear that can heal on its own without surgery. Dr. Riemer told my mom to be sure to keep me quiet for the next 3-4 weeks. HA! That will be a good trick! I'm ready to play with my new brothers and sisters. I'll try to behave for my mom, but I can't guarantee anything!
My mom was kissing my head and crying a little bit tonight. I tried to lick her tears off her face, but she told me not to worry because they were tears of joy. She said she is so happy that I'm okay and she is so thankful for everyone's help that it makes her cry. Weird, huh? She keeps telling me how much she loves me and how many other people love me. I must be pretty special for so many people to love me like this. So, me and my mom want to tell you all thank you for caring about us and for helping us. Thank you to my mom's boy, Luke, her friend Joe, and my aunties in Canada at Hull's Haven; thank you to Dr. Rohret and Dr. Riemer and all the nice gals in their offices; thank you to the folks at Right Turn Pet Food Store and Cowboy Up; thank you to the Chief of Police in DeSoto and the Mayor of DeSoto; thank you to the State Patrol for not shooting me; and thank you especially to Janet, Josh, and Tom at the Animal Rescue League of Iowa - mom says she couldn't have helped me so much without all of you. Tonight we are going to pray that God blesses you all as much as He has blessed us. We love you guys!!!!
