The Holidays Are OVER!

Hiya Peeps!

Well, now that the holidays are over, I'm going to start helping Aunt Tina and Ma look for my FUR-ever bully home. Before we figure that out, a little more about me...

Ma says I am a "handful" since that knee has fully healed and I love to run now. I have learned how to protect my sensitive hips when I run and play but I have to build up my stamina...it has been so long since I could really run and play without it hurting lots. There is a golden retreiver here that Toby and I play with, she might be taller than me, but I can still take her down. *giggle*

We love to roll around on the grass and play tug of war with sticks and ropes, it is lots of run but over protective foster Ma still watches out for me. I just don't know when to quit and put too much strain on the hips until I can get the muscles stronger (lack of use and all that) ha ha. Being the smallest of the three and with the bad hips, Ma makes sure they don't gang up on me and I get hurt. I can't out run Bella (that's her name) cause her legs are so long, but I can run right under her and she doesn't know where I am! * giggle* And when Toby (my foster bro) gets in on the games, we are quite a site, all three of us holding on to a rope or stick all pulling in a different direction.

I sure love the out of doors, not much for going for walks, cause I couldn't before, now all of the noises scare me a bit but I could get used to it. I am very protective of my foster family, whether I am in the car or inside the door when the bell rings. I know I would be just as protective of my forever family when I get one. You'll be MINE! ALL MINE! :)

I don't have any bad habits, well almost none. I love to put my head on ma's lap when she finally sits down to watch TV. I also love to sleep on the bed, it is so nice and comfy, I get covered up with my favorite blanket (she thinks I'm special), cause I get a little cold at night, not much of a fur coat. I am polite when I eat and don't mess up the floor with lots of water all over the place. My favorite treats are those little gold fishes, you know the ones, they come in a box.

Well, I guess that's about it. I seem to love about everyone, except kitty kats, wanta chase them, just like I chase squirrels. Ma will miss me but she says there are others out there that need some help too, but I can sure stay until the perfect FUR-ever home is found. Anybody out there want a really special loving princess bullie, let me know so I can come check you out, see if we fit together. (OK, my email is down but email Aunt Tina, she'll hook us up!)

New Home?

*giggle* hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

So I heard ma talking about it being "time" for me to start lookin' for my new home. Ya know, I'll be so sad to leave here but we had this talk when I got here that we'd always be "family" but ma needs to help others like me and I can get along great in another home too. It will take a special home though, my Princess Posterior won't ever be quite right but we've done all we can do for now. So...here's what the humans say I need:

~ A home with NO STAIRS to keep the stress on my hips and knees at a minimum,
~ Glyco to help with the joints,
~ Someone home most of the day,
~ Possibly daily pain meds, and
~ Maybe surgery in the future, depending on how things go over the years.

WAIT! I have a requirement! I want another great sibling like Toby! I'm not around other princesses so I don't know how I'd be but I loooooooooove the boys! *giggle*

So if you're interested in seeing if we'd be a good match, get your application in on the website, and send an email to Aunt Tina letting her know that you're interested and where you live.

Hola!

*giggle* heeeeeeeeeeeey there!!!
WiggleWaggleWiggleWaggle

Mia Bia here, how is everyone? I'm doing good, thanks for asking! My knee is doing much better after surgery although I can't use it fully quite yet. Almost there, though! WOO! We have to give my hips a little more time to see how they are going to be long term and I'll be sure to update everyone after my next appointment with the good Doc Mark. :)

Nothing else new, just playing around here at Foster Ma's house. I got busted the other day so I might as well share the story with everyone...
Foster Ma was typing on her computer so I thought I'd get that Toby. Ma would NEVER believe him over me so I ran full speed (or...as full speed as I get these days) down the hall and JUMPED on Toby's head. *giggle* He just got up and we played but what a wake up, DONTCHATHINK? *giggle*

Me? Stinker? NAAAAAAAAAAH!

Update!

*giggle* hiiiiiiiiiii everyone!

Miss Mia here to update you kind folks on what's going on here at Foster Ma's place.

Things are going really well, after I got scolded for licking my stitches I haven't done it since. I'm a good girl, in case you can't tell. *SMILE* Little by little it feels better and I'm putting more weight on it. When it's a little sore I do motor around well on 3 legs too so nothing really keeps me down.

Still having fun with bro-Toby and we even went to something Sunday they called Slobberfest. It was sooooooo overwhelming to see all of those bulldogs and people...CRAZY!! We didn't stay that long but had fun while we were there. I'm glad we got to go, thanks for taking us, Ma! :)

I have an appointment on Friday to get the stitches out and for a check-up...I'll let everyone know how that goes!

Feeling Better!

*giggle* hiiiiiiiiiiiii....Mia here, reporting from the Foster Palace.

The first couple days after surgery I didn't feel too great...too much medicine we think but we backed off and I feel MUCH better! (I told them I didn't need no stinking pills!) I've been eating and drinking again, even trying to make up for the couple of days I didn't eat much. Still getting lots of rest and when I go outside to potty, foster ma has this cool sling thing she uses to help. She says it helps me not over work the other knee...COOL...hopefully we won't have to do any of this again! If we did though, this is a great place to recover. Foster ma is so attentive and foster fur-brother Toby is just the greatest to Chil-lax with! *giggle*

So nothing terribly exciting going on here, just sleeping, eating, playing a little, eating, pooping...normally bully girl stuff.

I'll post again when I can get Toby off his World of Warcraft game, he's obsessed you know! I have to get better soon so I can start running his bully butt all over the yard! He could stand to lose a pound or two! *giggle*

Later Tater Tots!

Surgery Update

Miss Mia is a little too worn out, so Aunt Tina here making the update for her today.

Surgery yesterday went well and she's resting at her foster mom's house. Mia is apparently a MASTER at sniffing pills out of anything and pushing them away so that's been interesting figuring out ways to get them down but she's being well taken care of. Foster bro has great bedside manner, checking on her and she wakes up long enough to give him a smooch and back off to sleep. She'll be a little sleepy for a few days but we're confident she'll be much better once all the sedatives from surgery wear off. Pretty typical surgery stuff.

Thanks for checking in on Mia, the doc had good things to say and we'll finalize the plans for her once we have the re-check in a few weeks.

Appointment Monday

*ugh* hiiiiiiiiiii

While waiting for our appointment my knee has been hurting, even with my special pills. It's just easier to not use it and be still. Apparently that doesn't fly and the rescue folks said they want me better NOW so we're going in on Monday to have it fixed. I hear I'll be wrapped and shaved and have to be still for a couple of weeks but whatever it takes to get better. I'm kind of over feeling icky. :(

So Aunt Tina will update everyone on how I'm doing Monday so check back here and refresh the page for the latest update. She says more than likely they won't hear until after noon but I made her PROMISE to update AS SOON as she hears anything. I know I have many MANY fans out there! *giggle*

OK, back to my bed for more rest.
