Good Days

Well,  as a wise old dog once said, "We have our good days and our bad days." up, I'm getting a lot of those bad days recently. But, what can I do?

Momma and Mimi try to make me happy. Momma still gives me those horrible white hard dog food thingys, and Mimi still trys when ever she can to force food into me. I must say I like the thinner me. I thought old people, or dogs, who were thin were healthy. So not true. I'm old, and skinny, but as Mimi says "I'm far from healthy." I don't know why she says that, I feel good most days.

Either way, I've never seen Mimi work so hard to keep me happy. I like it. :)

The Sickness

Well I should have known that feeling so well this past week would come back and haunt me. Yup. Today I woke up, and all I wanted to do was go back to sleep. Yeah, what ever is wrong with me, it's causing me pain today. I'm really up in the mood to talk, Momma is giving me the vibe that I wont see her til tomorrow.

Momma and Me

So, once again Mimi has left me here to "go down the hill" what ever that means. I don't know why the make such a big deal over going down a hill. It's not that hard.

Any ways it's been me and momma these past couple of days. Momma says I'm doing good, though I still can't hold my bladder for dog bones. I eat only the yummy stuff that momma gives me. Sometimes it's like my mouth is the thing that's wrong with me and not my body. *Sigh*

It's still nice to have some "Momma and Me" time. I love spending time with my momma. She pets me, hugs me, and give me daily brushes that are to die-for! I could just lay and be brushed all day by momma. She knows how to do it. Yeah...

This going To be the Good Life

What's the best thing a  nice rub down? A nice rub down on both sides, getting a good daily brushing, and soft chewy food. Yes, I am living the good life. Momma and Mimi have been busy cleaning up the concert, which is cover in my blood spots. Well, there's nothing I can do about it. Though they seem to bother that they have it to clean it up every few days.

So today the baby of the family came over to pet me, and what does Sassy do? Like the attention  hog she is she jumped up, and tackled him to the ground like one of those men on the funny moving picture box.And where did he fall? right on top of me! Ugh! I didn't have to get mad at my sister,because Mimi did. She got so steamed up,and momma had to calm her down. Saying something on I "should live my last days in comfort and peace." What ever she meant by that. Momma told her she needed to relax. I don't know, Mimi can be so moody sometimes.

Over It!

So you know when you have a certain food that you just want to eat all the time? Then once you start eating it you get sick of it after awhile? Well, that's just how I am. I mean every-single-day the same food, multiple times a day! How may times do they expect me to eat canned-stewed meat with peas? I'm just like you, I get sick after awhile. So to get momma and Mimi off my skinny little butt, I've started to eat hard food once more.

I love them, don't get me wrong, but I don't want to get fat! I'm an 11 year old dog, yet I'm treated like a puppy! Ugh, this is what is must feel like to be an old Human. Everyone is always swooning over you! BLAH! I don't like it, and now I don't blame them for not liking it either!

One Step Back

As the wise old dogs say, I have taken " two steps forward, yet one step back." I'm not quite sure what that means... Mainly because I am an old wise dog. ;) I've started to bleed again, and my energy seems to be falling again. Ah, the pleasure of false hope. It only works until it can no longer work.

Last night Momma keep saying if I get worse then she'll "need to take me in." I don't know what she means by that, maybe because I was too focused on trying to get Mimi's burger she was eating for dinner. Well, what ever that be, Mimi is dead against it. She'll get up and leave if momma even barely brings it up.

I'm not quite sure what's up with my sister. She knows I'm sick, but she's more clingy to momma and Mimi. Talk about an attention hog! Mimi gets annoyed sometimes. Sassy's always trying to eat my special dog food, and when Mimi is petting me, Sassy will come over and nose her way under Mimi's arm! She tries to push me away, but 99.9% of the time Mimi won't let her. The one 00.1% time that she did Mimi got so mad, that she went inside calling Sassy an "Attention whore!" I don't know what it means, but it must be bad. They way that Mimi said it and all.

So this morning Mimi came out to *try* to feed me. I got up, not realizing I had not only gone of the concert, but when I shook my self to get dry I got it on both Sassy and Mimi. Mimi just glanced down with a disappointing look, and shook her head. "Oh Maddie," She said "Why baby?"

Two Steps Forward

It's crazy to think how just this time last week, I was bleeding non-stop,not eating or drinking, and was took weak to barely stand. Now look at me! I'm up and walking, momma realized I hated the trash can being so near my water so she moved it, and I'm eating both solid and can food!. Yummy.

While Mimi and everyone left yesterday, they still found the time to make sure I ate two meals a day. They are really going to make sure that I get all nice and fat. I really food good about being sick. I bet soon enough I'll be well and dandy again like the good ol days. Oh won't Mimi be proud!?

Forget Me Not?

So this morning I woke up, ready to be fed. So I laid around, waiting, waiting, and then more waiting! The sun was high in the sky when I realized that they had forgotten me! So I drunk some water, and ate some hard dog food.

Sometime later, Mimi got home, and rushed outside with a plate of food for me to eat. I didn't want to at first, having to watch my new "slim" figure ( I swear Mimi is trying to get me fat! ), but once I started; I couldn't stop! I ate almost it all! The hard dog food was sticking with me,yet I just wanted to eat,eat,eat! Oh I felt like a such a fatty afterwards.

Then, as if I was having deja vu, Mimi caem out with a cool bowl of water for me to drink. as if spoiling me would make up for her forgetfulness.... Okay, so it did. But hey, I'm a dog, I love everyone.

Ahh, the Good Life!

It's only been two days since I went to the strange man in the coat, and yet momma and Mimi have given me barely any of those hard rock thingys that I call dog food. Momma gave me a Rock that Mimi says will help me. I get about two a day. One in the morning, and one at night. The one at night relaxes me to a mellow point.

Mimi has been spending the morning with my sister and too. She comes out with a plate of food for me. Today it was a good ol' helping of yummy canned dog food. Mmmm! She let Sassy have a few pieces, but it wa mainly just for M-E! :) Mimi also gives me a bowl of filtered water that she holds up to me! Who would of thought I get a little sick, and get treated like a Queen!

I've been feeling better too since I started to eat and drink again. I'm up an moving, and while I don't go jumping around like I use to, I'm still mobile. Mimi's been petting me non-stop too. Whenever she pets me Sassy comes over, and pushes her way in. Sometimes she even pushes me away! The nerve of that girl! So I make sure when ever she goes near my bed, I'm over there keeping her out! I have the better of the two beds. Lots and lots of comfy blankets for me to lay on. Then at night when I come in for bed, Mimi comes down stairs, and sings to me! I don't under stand what she's saying ( I barely do any ways ), but it's a pretty song. Yet she's always sad when she sings it. She smiles, yet cries. She hugs me just a bit too tight,as if she may not ever get to again.

So while I'm still under the weather, I'm feeling good.
( Down below, that's me ad my sister. I'm on the left, and Sassy is on the right. <3 )

Hello World!!!

I'm Maddie, and while I'm not that cute little baby that Mimi keeps reading to me about, (http://averycan.blogspot.com/) I promise you this will be one good blog! :) 


So this past January, I started to feel weird. I got the need to go to the bathroom ( number one ) every few minutes. I also started to bleed from there too. My momma then took me to this strange man in a white... oh what is it called again? Pants? Shirt? Jacket? Yeah! In the white jacket. He gave her this funny little green plastic bottle with hard little white pieces of dog food in it. You can bet I was happy when my momma finally stopped tricking me into eating those nasty little white,what shouldn't even be called, dog food. 


Yet I never felt quit well after that. Soon after I got sick again! And it was back to the strange man whom I do not like. This time it was worse! Oh my momma let the strange man take me back to this room, and oh! They laid me on this table with this HUGE thingy handing over me. I was so scared! He left two people in there with me when he left, and here's the worse part; they held me down on the table! I couldn't believe my momma let this happen to me! After a few minutes my momma came in with the strange man. He showed her this weird picture on the wall. I swear, it looked like my butt! They had taken a picture of the inside of me! Oh, I felt so embarrassed! The strange man said nothing was wrong, and he gave my momma another green bottle.


Still, something wasn't right.Suddenly I started to fell really bad. I didn't feel like eating or getting a drink of water. I was peeing a lot, and there was so much blood. My momma rushed me again to the strange man. This time was much different. Along with my momma; my other two masters came along. Tiff ( she picked me out all those years ago ), and Mimi (who is the youngest ). I didn't understand why they were all coming, I didn't even want to go! The whole time Mimi kept crying on and off. I'm not sure why, but she really got teary eye when the doctor said they would do another xer-ray. What is and xer-ray anyways!? He said it may be cancer. Isn't cancer one of those funky star thingys that humans have such a blast with? I don't know why Mimi was so sad about the star thingy, but she was.


So after another trip to that horrible table with the two people I dislike even more than the man; the man sent for my family.They all came in, and the man started to talk. He showed them another picture of my inners. Oh I was so embarrassed I couldn't dare to look at Mimi or Tiff or Momma. Then the the man said "In the cases I've seen, it looks to be cancer.", oh it was like God planned a second flood! Mimi was doing everything, but screaming her lungs off in pain ( which she did in her room). Oh it was horrible, I wanted to know why she was so sad. So I'm a little sick, she didn't cry any of the other times.


So one of the strange ladies that work with the strange man not only FORCED one of those horrible hard round disk down my throat, but she gave my momma 25 more! And they want me to take them every 8 hours. I'd like to see them try! Hahaha!
