Power of the Paw brings Good Dogma to all!

Hello friends! You all sure pulled together for Power of the Paw for my recovery and it has been working wonders! I am going to give you some updates and then i have a very special offer for all of you.

I am healing well and have grown almost enough fur back to where you can barely see the incision site. I am playing and running, but I am still hesitant about jumping… actually; I refuses to jump on anything if mommy is at home. Instead, I will sit and stare at mommy and grunt at her until she picks me up. Mommy things its super cute when i grunt!

Truth be told, I'm REALLY enjoying this extra special attention (i even tasted a small niblet of Bacon for the first time!) Does this photo not look like a Princess that is happier than a pig in slop!?

Here is a photo of Coco Bean’s knee

Truffle has been a wild woman so she has made two trips to the bark park with he cousin's Abbie & Princess (Abbie is standing in the car seat with Truffle and Princess is sitting closest to the camera) and the Bark Park makes Truffle & Abbie REALLY tired which Mommy and Grandma really like because then Truffle & Abbie aren't bouncing off the walls!

Mommy decided that it was time for us to have more durable collars (Truffle chewed off Godiva's collar from Scruffy Dog Collars and it made mommy sad because she REALLY liked those collars). But, you know our mommy and nothing is ever good enough for us..that is, until she found this super special web site called "Small Dog Mall" and under the collars section for collars they had one called "A Perfect Little Dog Collar". Mommy thought why not and bought us all three of us a lavender collar.

Mommy was shocked when the package arrived just a few days later but she was blown away when she opened the box. Inside the box was the three collars wrapped in pretty tissue paper and a hand written thank you note. Also in the box was three cookies for me and my sisters and a small bag of jelly beans for mommy (how did they know jelly beans are mommy's favorite?)

Also in the box with our collars there was a card called "The GOOD DOG(ma) of KARMA" and it says:

"TODAY, somebody will do something nice for you. Maybe they will open the gate for you at the dog park. Maybe they will give you one of their extra poop bags. Or maybe they'll do something as simple and sweet as bending down to give your pup a pat on the head.

Whatever that nice thing is, return the favor by giving that anonymous animal lover a print out of our GOOD DOG(ma) card (pdf download below), proving that a little karma goes a long way."

Here is a photo me Me and Lady Godiva wearing our lavender collars: And just like the name of the name of the collars, they really are Perfect! Mommy was so thrilled with the collars and the packaging she called "Small Dog Mall" and left a message expressing her gratitude.

Never in a million years did my mommy think that she would get a phone call back but she did and the woman who called her back was named Robin. Turns out that Robin started Small Dog Mall to help those if us with small dogs find products that are perfect for us! because lets be honest it IS hard to find stuff fur us small dogs.

Well friends, you all have helped me, my sisters, and my mommy, get through some incredibly scary and sad times and we couldn't think of a better way of giving good Dogma back by sharing with you a very special discount to the Small Dog Mall that Robin so kindly offered to do for us to give to you!

UPDATE: Post Surgery Day 10

It has been 10 days since her surgery and it is time for those ugly stitches to come out... So i asked Coco Bean if she was ready to go for a ride in the car and she ran to the closet because she knows she can not go out without a coat on:I took Coco Bean for a ride in the car to have her stitches out...it was a quick in and out procedure so i didn't have to be put into a room. they just took Coco Bean into the back and brought her back out to me no more than 5 minutes later :)

When we got home, Coco Bean was a very good girl and let me clean up the incision site because when they took the stitches out it bled a little, and she let me take a photo too!
Even though it was a quick simple procedure, shortly after we got home Coco Bean was tired from all the excitement, and was sitting at the bottom of my chair BEGGING to be held
Coco Bean is more wonderful than you can imagine. She knows exactly what she wants and if it is a lap to sit on, she settles down very quickly. At first, she wanted to look out the window:And when she was done with that, she fell fast asleep on my shoulder:
And from there, as if that wasn't comfortable enough, Coco Bean did what her favorite thing to do is...she insisted on crawling into my shirt and sleeping some more:
Coco Bean is using her leg a little more and more each day. I still dont let her wrestle with Lady Godiva & Truffle and oddly enough, she doesn't really try to partake in their crazy doggy derby bitey face sessions yet. I think she knows that she is not ready for that just quite yet.

Lady Godiva & Truffle spend a lot of time sitting with Coco Bean and cleaning her face and hears for her. they are being really good little nurses and i am very proud of them.

I will continue to keep you updated as Coco Bean's progress continues.

Back Scratches, Belly Rubs and Extra Cookies to you all,

Post Surgery Update: Day 5

i have happy news ro report...Coco Bean seems to be feeling much better.

I took the donut collar off of her for a little bit and she wanted to play! she grabbed one of her little squirrel stuffies and brought it to me! of course i dont want her playing quite yet, but it made me happy to see her enthusiasm. so i brought her up onto my bed and she was acting SO goofy! i had to share this pic of her being silly up on my bed:
doesnt her little shaved butt look cute!?

I even took a photo of her surgery incision so that you could see how well she is healing. the bruising is hardly noticeable and is healing quite nicely:
i called the Vet today and asked about the top bump because it is red and i was worried. I sent the Vet this photo and he told me it is nothing to worry about. He said that it is nothing to worry about.

On Saturday, Coco Bean poobled for the first time, then again yesterday, and a whole pooble load today! Let me tell you, she sure made up for those two days of not pooping!

I will keep you all posted on her progress!

Thank you for keeping my little Coco Bean in your prayers. The Power Of The Paw is working wonders and she is healing so well!

Please continue to keep us in your prayers and thoughts.

Back scratches & Belly rubs,

Post Surgery Update.

I got Coco Bean home last night. she had one of those cone collars on which i think are so mean, so i put the donut collar on her which does the same thing but does not obstruct her view or mobility.
She is really out-of-it and wants to sleep a lot so i make her conferabl. here is a photo of her right after i took the collar off
Here is a photo of her boobooI have her her medicine this morning which is the antibiotic mixed with the pain meds into a liquid form. the horrible taste of the pain meds made her foam at the mouth. had to take a photo of her foaming at the mouth. it was upsetting to me to give her something that made her more uncomfortable but somehow i was able to get .6 ml into her instead of the .7 the vet wanted me to give her.I called the vet and he is making up a different elixir of her pain meds and antibiotic separately to that we don't have this problem anymore.

Coco Bean is standing but is wobbly and refuses to even attempt to put her back left leg down which is totally understandable (i wouldn't either if i were her). She is still staying in her doggy playpen and i heard her get up late last night to eat doggy food, and then again at around 4:00am and she went peepee then got back into her bed.

her food, water, bed are all in the playpen and the playpen is lined with pee pads so she does not have far to walk for anything she may need.I will be posting update daily to keep you all informed of her progress.

Again, i thank you all for keeping Coco Bean in your prayers and thoughts and for keeping your paws crossed for her. While i know she still has a ways to go for recovery, i know that the power of the paw is working so please continue to keep her in your thoughts and paryers.

Love Always,

~The Mommy
