A Dumb Move

Dad was at a barn raising this past weekend and he was gone all day long and didn't come home until almost bedtime. Sunday night, it was getting late and Mitch thought he heard dad pulling in and he jumped up and raced to the window to look out!
Yes, I know I'm eleven and mom tells me that sometimes we need to act our age, Maggie and not be a dumdum! Well, I was a dumdum!

I didn't realize that I'd done any damage until the next morning. I still climbed the stairs and slept in my own bed that night but dad had to carry me down the stairs in the morning! I wasn't putting any weight on my back leg and mom knew that I had pulled something!

For the next 2 days every time I had to go out to pee and poo I had to have this fancy sling underneath me so mom could help me walk! I HATE being picked up!

No walkies for me and each morning mom and dad and Mitch would go off and leave me at home while they walked our 2 mile route without me. Thank goodness I did still get my cookie so that at least made me happy!On the third morning, I started to feel more like myself and mom put the sling away and Mitch and I could now go out together for pee and poo!
And today is Friday and here I am smiling away and trying to pass dad and Mitch on our walkie!
This is the end of my 2-mile walkie standing in front of my house! Mom saw that I was doing just fine and she let me go the whole way! I am one happy girl!
I'm all better and I've promised mom that I'll be a smarter girl from now on!

I also have very exciting news! One of my very best friends, Miss Sunshade posted today! It's been almost 2 years since the last time she posted and we are so very happy to see all new pictures of her! She is such a character and we've missed her so much!We are crossing our paws that she's back to blogging for good! If you've never met her, please stop by her blog and say hi!

So until next time.................

Love ya lots,

Maggie

  9. Dear Maggie,
    I was wondering how you always kept up with Mitch. I have a hard time keeping up with my sister, Teagan and there's only a 3 year age difference between us. I am glad to know that you are feeling better now.
    Woof,

  17. Maggie...well, you saved us a few days of worrying by waiting to tell us about your sore hip until after it has healed. But we'd've been happy to send healing vibes your way all along. (Guess you didn't need us ... sob, sob ... JK!) We're super glad you are all better, just in time for the weekend. Now, take it easy and enjoy those walks. It's cooling off, so we KNOW you're lovin' it!

  27. Maggie, our Bambi is going to be 12 next nomth. She has done that to her self lots of times. It is hard to get old. You can not do the puppy things you use to do. It is a hard lesson for us all to learn.
    Even people.
    Love you all, Bambi and her Mom

  28. Glad you are feeling better. I know from watching TaiChi that we don't seem to bounce as well when we get older than when we are young pups! The enthusiasm is there, but the body don't seem to keep up... (Boo!) But I'm glad you are feeling better!

  34. Maggie-
    You don't look a day over 5!! I know we are only as old as we feel, but Mason (my labradork brother) tells me that this can be a problem sometimes... He is 11 and has dum-dum moments too. When you love your humans so much, I guess you forget that you are supposed to be careful!

    Glad you are felling better now!!

  49. MY dearest friend Maggie,

    I am so glad to hear your boo boo leggie is better. Boy do I know how you felt when you hurt it.... STINKY does that to me too when he all of a sudden decides to bark and I scramble to quickly get up to see what's in the yard (usually he only barks when there are critters in the yard), and I hurt myself (but its totally HIS fault!).

    Thank you so much for posting about my post, you're (and your mom!) are the best! I hope I will be able to post more, but it all depends on the computer hogging woman..!

    Love nibbles,
    Miss Sunshade

  51. Oh Maggie, you and Morgan have to remember that you're senior citizens now and can't jump around like the kids. Morgan is very tired from all the swimming she did Friday, but she says she's ready to go again. Silly girl.

  57. Hi, Maggie and Mitch -

    Oh noooooooooooo! Maggie got hurt?!? We don't think you are a dumdum - you were excited to see your Dad. I (Hershey) am always excited to see Mama and Papa when they come home.

    We have fallen a little behind in blogging but we are glad you are doing better, Maggie.
