Hello my furry friends!

The last week here has been a crazy one for us. My dad went missing for almost a week. I thought maybe he was on a trip (he does that sometimes for someone called “work”) but mom would also go missing for long stretches of the day and then she’d come back smelling like dad. I was really starting to get concerned when he finally came home a few days ago.

From what I can gather, he went to some place called a hospital. It seems that there were lots of other sick people there because mom always smelled a little strange after coming back…and dad still smells a little strange now. They say that he got sick because of an infection that never healed completely last year. It hung out in his body for almost a year and then just decided to rear its ugly head all the sudden, causing dad lots of pain. I tried to get him healthy again myself but my kisses just weren’t strong enough medicine. At least now he’s home and my kisses finally seem to be helping a bit while he recuperates on the couch.

I got a really cool owl when he came back – part of my Easter present. But I sent him into surgery before photos could be taken since he seemed a bit bloated. Mom and dad keep saying they’re not going to buy me any more stuffies since I love them a little too much. But I think they love the first day before I’ve eaten all the insides when I won’t put the stuffie down and prance around everywhere with it. I still love on my stuffies post-op but they don’t talk back to me anymore.

With any luck, mom will get back to blogging soon. She’s been doing what she can to keep things running around the house for now but without driving 30-45 minutes back and forth to see dad, I guess she’s starting to get back into the swing of things.

Hope you had a great Easter and got your own cool basket of goodies!
