Doggie Stairs

Mommie had planned to get me doggie stairs for Christmas but decided to get it early so I could start using it immediately. They are on sale at the Walgreens store for just $10. At Bed, Bath and Beyond, it is $40 but I guess it is much pricier there coz it looks more fancy and has 4 steps instead of 3. But I am good with the Walgreens one coz I do not need it to be too high. The three steps are good enough to get me up on the bed. I've still been having a hard time jumping on and off the bed. When I jump off, I land on my feet and it hurts so I have to limp for a bit before I can walk properly. It happens to my front foot sometimes but sometimes my back foot. So what I have been doing is I will go to the edge and ask to be carried down the bed. Sometimes I am thirsty and look at my water bowl on the floor longingly while waiting for someone to carry me down. But now that I have my doggie stairs, I can go up and down as I please. Wheee! But that first morning, I was so sleepy I forgot about the stairs and rushed to jump on the bed after I went for my morning pee and poop session. I did not make it and my belly hit the side of the bed and I fell to the floor. Ouch!

My Cousins

I love my cousins and they love me, too. But they like to play with my toys and sometimes I do not want to share. I usually carry them to the other side of the room away from them. Haha! But sometimes I am good and let them since they do not come to visit that often.

Itching To Go Out

I have been itching to go out for weeks now. But alas it was not to be. I was supposed to spend Halloween with my pals Luna and Loki but I was not able to go. I fell off the bed at 2am on Thursday of last week and have not fully recovered. I was sleeping soundly and turned over and fell off. Mommie and Daddy woke up when they heard me land on the floor. They checked my gums and said they were very pale. It took a while for the color to return and when it came time to eat my breakfast, I did not have any appetite. Mommie had to coax me to eat enough so I could take my medication. And when they were at work, I threw up. Good thing Grandma was there to take care of me. Mommie keeps telling me not to sleep on the edge but I love it there. I love to dangle my feet over the edge. Sometimes I dangle my head, too. When we go to bed at night, I am in between Mommie and Daddy coz I like to have my bedtime cuddle but after a while it gets too hot for me coz they have the blanket and comforter so once they are asleep, I move to the edge.

I have not been jumping on and off the bed the past few days. I will wait for Mommie to carry me on or off it. I did try this morning but my leg hurt when I landed so am not gonna try it again for a while.

Then yesterday, Mommie's alarm did not go off. She thinks it may have gotten disabled when her phone fell the night before. I was so sleepy even I did not get up. I usually get up at 6am coz I know it is breakfast time. But yesterday, I just snoozed away. When Daddy woke up at 830, he asked Mommie if I had eaten and of course I had not. So they were in a panic to wake me up to feed me breakfast and my medication. They said my gums were pale again. So Mommie decided not to let me go visit with Luna and Loki and to just have me spend a quiet Halloween at home. Sniff! I was so looking forward to my play date.
