ZOMG I haven’t written a blog entry since June?! I’m so sorry I’ve been keeping my fans waiting! I know you guys have been itching to hear about what I’ve been doing. Well, let me think back to July. It was a hot month. I think I drank a lot of water and peed and pooped a lot. August was also a scorcher. I went to get my wellness exam done and everything came back ok. I got so nervous at one point in the room that I tried to jump on the chair next to mama and I face planted. It was so embarrassing. In September, mom was out of town most of the month, and she didn’t take me with her. That bitch. And now October. I’ve been coughing a lot lately, so mom took me to the vet again. He took an xray of my chest and saw that my heart had enlarged a little more and it’s not a good thing. He then told my mom that I have about a year to live, which caused my mom to cry uncontrollably in front of the vet. I don’t know what was more embarrassing: Me face planting or mom being a big cry baby. Though I don’t blame her. One year to live really sucks. I hope this means I get to eat steak every night and that she’ll stop dressing me up in stupid dog clothes. But I’m pretty sure this means she’ll buy even more silly outfits for me to wear. I guess that’s the price of being cute.

In the past month, mom has taken me to the vet 4 times. Each time cost between $250 and $500. One time was because she found lumps on my sides. They turned out to be fat deposits. $300 for peace of mind. Oops, sorry mom. Another time I had a cyst on my belly and she went to get it checked. The doctor tested the blood from the cyst which was an extra $80 fee. Then right after he checked it, the cyst fell off in the examination room and I was all better. Oops. Sorry again, mom. That same time I went in to check my cough, and I was put on antibiotics to clear it up, but it turned out to be nothing as well. Then I went in again because I have a leaky heart valve and hyperthyroidism, so I had to get an ultrasound and more blood work done, and now I have to be on medication for the rest of my life. Then I saw $$$$$ dollar signs in my vet’s eyes. Sorry, mom. Then today I went in for a teeth cleaning and mom paid $400 for that. Sorry, mom. But you can’t deny that she loves me! I mean come on, who wouldn’t??
