Can someone please pass the tylenol?

It started out lookin like it was going to be a good day. Mom loaded me up in the car for what seemed to be a special outing on a Friday morning. You see, we don't usually go places on Fridays cuz Mom has to go to this place called "work", and the last time we drove somewheres early on a Friday it was for campin, so I was kinda excited!
That was until we pulled to to a place with these letters. Since I can't read, I still don't know what it says, but it sure was not campin...I can tell you that much!
I know, I know...the sunny beams make it look all magestic, and heavenly. But let me tell you, it was quite the opposite! Notice the creepy skeleton thingy peakin out the window? Yeah, that shoulda been my first big red flag.
Anyway, Mom took me inside and we walked back to a scary place. There was lots of cages and kennels, and a mean little barky French Bulldog who was trying to eat me thru the cage door. Boy was he a grump! Then...all of a sudden, Mom is gone and I was all by myself. It was so scary!

A little later in the day, some nice people came to get me and tried to stick a pokey thing in my arm. Ouch!! I have to admit, I kinda lost it and started jumpin around and wigglin my bestest. They told my mom later that because of this they were unable to do some pre-anesthetic blood tests. Mom wasn't very happy with me and gave me the evil look when she heard this.

Then, all of a sudden...the next thing I know is I'm wakin up on the floor and BOY do I have a headache! Not to mention the fact that my belly is really sore! What the heck did they do to me??
Mom sat with me for a long while until I started feelin a little better. She gave me lots of nice rubs and kisses and told me I was a good boy. Finally, we got to go home and as soon as I got there I made a bee-line straight to my bed. It sure was nice and comfy.
Then I remembered I hadn't gone potty ALL day long! Oh boy, let me outta here! It was hard to stand up and walk still, but Mom helped me to the door and took me outside. It sure did hurt goin up and down the 2 stairs in the front of the house!

After I got outside, I just picked the first spot I saw and started to go. And go, and go and go and go. Mom couldn't believe how long I went potty for! It seemed like a good 3 or 4 minutes before my aching bladder was emptied. Ahhhhh....what relief.

After we went back inside, Mom made me lay down so she could put an ice pack over my privates. I guess they were a little swollen and she thought that would help. I thought it was kinda funny, cuz the ice pack she used is made by the parent company of the place where she works. I bet they never thought their product would be used like this!

I'm finally startin to feel better though. Mom called my regular favoritest betterinarian and they prescribed some nice pain killers for me. She also mixed up a yummy batch of satin balls for me cuz I am lookin a little skinny. I've been kinda picky lately and am tired of the normal kibble she feeds me.

Plus, I think she feels a bit bad about gettin me neutered and thinks these balls will make me feel better. They sure are yummy!

Oh Murphy, they took your dingle dangles too!

It's really no big deal - you'll get lots of treats and stuff cause your momma's gonna make you stay still for like 5 days. I got tons of marrow bones and bully sticks after my vet visit.

I bet you had to pee so much cause the vets gave you fluids when you were "sleeping".

Keep icing and don't lick! otherwise my momma said you'll have to wear a cone. I didn't lick - but I'm lazy anyway.

Woof - Tucker

Murphy, hang in there bud. I went through that myself eariler this year. My mom made me wear dad's undies with ice packs shoved in them so I know what your going through. I really enjoy reading about you and seeing your pictures. Heal up soon.
