Why is it a wonderful Wednesday? Well let me tell you. MOM picked me up from daycare (Bert's place) and she said, "Don't you look spunky." You know what, I felt spunky. When we got home MOM started to mow the yard. Normally it takes MOM about 2 hours to mow my yard, it's a big yard. But today it took her 3 hours and 40 minutes. It was sort of tall and it was still a little damp from the last storm. The first wonderful thing to happen was I walked every step with MOM as she mowed. I like to walk right beside her every inch of the way, unless a doggie walks by my fence then I go say hello.
Then I went in the house and I loved on my blankie. One of the draw backs (for MOM) in mowing grass that is damp is my paws turn green. Can you see that? Again, I don't see the problem. Oh and she said something about tracking grass into the house.
Then I felt hungry. So I ate my kibble! MOM hugged the stuffing out of me for that. I figure a 10 day hunger strike was long enough. I just wanted to shed a few pounds for swimsuit season. But I do plan to score some of that canned food MOM bought when she was trying to get me to eat.
Then I was tired so I hopped in to bed and brought my monkey with me and went to sleep. I sleep with him when MOM is not there with me. You may have noticed I brought some grass with me to bed. I don't think MOM will mind. It will be like when we go backpacking and we sleep under the stars on the grass.
It seems that I might be back to normal. I am eating, I have energy, I am not throwing up, I am pooping in a way that makes MOM happy. It's still a mystery why I was so sick for so long. Even so, it's a wonderfully beautiful day indeed.
Blessings,
Goose

ReplyDeletePuddles
Oh, we are so happy to hear you are feeling better and what a fun day you had. I am sure you did some pawsome dogervising of the mowing of the lawn - making sure your Mom did it just right. You certainly deserved that well earned nap.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, wonderful, wonderful Wednesday for sure, Goose. We are so happy to hear this great news. We may not be around for commenting for a bit but we just had to tell you we are just elated that you are better.
ReplyDeleteHappy and Blessed Easter to you and your Mom.

Very good news, even the poop!
ReplyDeleteDude!!!! That is great. I bet even Murphy would be proud of you. Poop. And of course this means No holes barred on Friday for our walk too. Yeah.....
ReplyDeleteMy Vickie is bringing a mom and her little girl who wants a dog just like you. Well not your breed, but one who will tell her mom when she is going to seizure. You guys will have much to talk about.
I am so happy you are back to feelin good buddy.
Bert
OH GOOSE... I am so glad that your tummy and poop shooter are back to normal. I was away and did not know that you had been sick.
ReplyDeleteSorry I was not here to support you when you were sickie.
Awesome news, Dude! Glad you are feeling better. We have a sneaky snake just like yours... he's living under the big bed at the moment.
ReplyDeleteSam and Pippen

It's great to hear that you are feeling well Goose. We humans are silly when it comes to our pooches poop sometimes.
ReplyDeleteCindy

ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Glad to hear you are feeling better!!!

BEAUTFUL day indeed! Whew-whoo!!! Goose, I've never been so happy to read about poop. AND you're eating! And you're play with your scrumptious sneaky snake? This is a wonderful day indeed! Keep feeling better.
ReplyDeleteMoms get excited over the silly things....go figure! I am so glad to see that you are feeling better!
ReplyDelete~Higgins
Oh what a relief! Goose looks very glossy in the photos. Nice job mowing MOM!!! Nice lines!
ReplyDeleteThat's just about the best thing I've heard!!! So glad that you are getting past whatever this was that had you down. Praise God!!
ReplyDeleteNot to get too personal here (or is that "dog"onal?) but when we haven't felt good, our mom says there's nothing quite so beautiful as a healthy poop and a good appetite. Mom's kind of funny like that. I'll bet hanging out with Mr. Sneaky Snake helped you out a lot, too!
ReplyDeleteIt was very nice of you to help your MOM mow the lawn. I watched my mom pull weeds yesterday (from inside the air conditioning ...) and it was just exhausting. I hope you didn't over-do! Napping with your monkey sounds like a good plan.
We're going to say a prayer of thanks that you're doing so much better - and will keep you in our prayers. This is just GREAT news!!!
Luv,
Dave
I'm very happy too dear Goose that everything is good now! I like you very much! Take care Your Charlotte
ReplyDeleteWoof to you Goose!!!! My mom and I are SO HAPPY that you are back to eating, pooping and playing. You were on our minds during your entire 10 day hunger strike.
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of you above with your Invincible Snake in your yard. It looks like so much fun, but it would be hard for me to replicate the experience because like everyone else in Manhattan, I don't have a yard.
But maybe I'll try bringing my Invincible Snake to the park with me next time I go. Much love - XXOO - Mazzie
Hellooo Goose ~ We are happy that you are all better. Ten days on a hunger strike is too long. You do a great job of supervisings the yard work, your grass is soooo green.
ReplyDeleteSweet William The Scot
Glad to hear you are eating and your stomach is getting better!! I miss the grass!!
ReplyDeleteSometimes tummy bugs just get persistent! I'm so glad you're feeling so much better! I love seeing you do all those things you love. It's a tail wagger, for sure!
ReplyDeleteBunny
That sounds like a very busy day. Cutting grass is a big job. We have learned that good appetites make a mom very happy. Glad that everything is getting back to normal. So how long will your feet stay green?
ReplyDeleteNina, Myshka, Sasha, Betsy, Lucy,Phoebe and Lily
Glad to hear you feeling better. I've never puked, but even saying the word sounds bad.
ReplyDeleteMe and Murphy are keeping you in our prayers and hope you continue to feel better.
Goose,

Oh Goose, this is wonderful news! I'm so glad you feel better. You did an awfully lot today. If I was your mom I'd forgive you for getting the grass on the bed, after all, you've been feeling so poorly. I'm sure your mom doesn't mind. So happy you were able to eat.
ReplyDeleteOh thank GOD ~~~ So happy you are finally better Goose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am well-acquainted with the sound of good, happy doggy poops. Duncan has had belly issues since The Great Yarn Crisis of 2006 and sometimes, for no reason at all, we'll have a week of bad, squirty-sounding, desperate, take-me-out-now-even-though-it's-two-in-the-morning type poops. It's not a pleasant thing, on a January night, to stand under the clouds in the cold and listen to that sound. So when it does finally turn... solid... it's joyous music to my ears.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's why I love my dog, and why, I'm sure, most people love theirs (although they may not admit to it or even notice it): I love the magic of taking joy in the simple things they help us discover, be they the smell of the breeze, the green of doggy feet after a walk through freshly-mown grass, or the nice, solid sound of a happy poop.
Now *THIS* is what living is all about. I wouldn't want it any other way.
Blessings to Goose's health, and yours, too, Michelle.
Curt
HaHa..I thought my white paws were the only ones that turned green in the grass!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad your tummy is feeling better and you will be able to enjoy your Easter!
Your furiend,
Winston
Goose, we are howling with happiness that you are finally feeling better. We were SO worried. Even if they never figure out what it was we hope you are totally fixed up and it will never happen again.
ReplyDeleteGoose, I know the feelings your Mom had as you 'did your business' and it was 'business as usual!!' I've been keeping you in my prayers that you regain your health, and I will hope that today, you still are feeling like yourself--Green, grassy paw prints and all!!
ReplyDeleteGoose, we are most delighted to hear this wonderful news! And just in time for Easter.
