I had a boil on me bum!

Imagine the indignity, me, Boris the handsomest dog, had a boil on me bum! Mum said it was actually an abscess thingy but whatever the name of it, it was flipping painful I can tell ya!

It all swelled up then some nasty gooey stuff came out of it. Yukky or what! It hurt so bad I wouldn't let Mum or Papa Bear anywhere near it to clean it. They got my 'don't you dare touch it' growl.

So Mum took me to the vet and I sure as heck wouldn't let him touch it either so he talked to Mum and they agreed that I would have to be knocked out. That wasn't so bad as the vet gave me some feel good stuff first which made me feel pretty goofy.

Anyway, when I was knocked out they shaved me bum!!!! They cleaned it all up too they said and Mum fetched me home late in the afternoon. I just slept a lot for the rest of the day and night.

The vet gave me some pills to take, antibio something or another. Well you know I don't like taking pills but Mum has made it easy for me, she wraps them up in a cheese slice and they just pop right down. The pills seem to be working cos me bum don't hurt anymore and Mum says it looks much better. Just need the hair to grow back now so I am back to my handsome old self.

Maggie is still here so I guess she is a keeper. She is so lively compared to me and still thinks I can play like she does but I am an old guy now so she has to play on her own. Her latest thing is to run around like a loony with one of the things that came flying out the caravan when they were taking everything out of it. It is white and Mum says it is a plumbing fitting but that Maggie thinks it's a great toy. She throws it around and runs with it. It's quite funny to watch her.

Papa Bear and Mum have been outside every day working on the caravan thingy. I can tell you they have worked really hard on it and Mum says it is beginning to take shape at last. Papa Bear painted it to look like trees and stuff, cam o flaj he calls it. Sure that's not how you spell it but it's how they say it. Spelling just ain't my best attribute.

So folks, that's what's been going on here, hope you are all doing great.

I'm a handsome fellow, aren't I?

It must be true cos my people say it all the time. My people are the Bossman and Mum. The Bossman isn't too well, something neurological thingy going on with him and he doesn't walk too well these days. He still can get around though using his walker so that means I still get to go outside with him. No long walks though like we used to have but that's OK, I run around while he sits on his walker thingy. Mum is the one who looks after me and the Bossman but she has a new love in her life too. Her knitting thingamejig. It's big and sits on a desk upstairs in the spare room and she swears at it sometimes when things don't go right but she gets really happy when they do so I guess it's a keeper. So this is my blog, hope you like it.

Bossman and Mum got me a little sister, Maggie, so now Mum has been writing on my blog about her. I call her White Lightening cos that's what she's like sometimes. She is really quite sweet but can be a bit of a stinker sometimes. But, I can remember when I was just a puppy dog, I was a bit of a stinker too. Good thing Mum and Bossman rescued me from the pound when I was just 8 months old.
