Ditto the Beagle

I’m almost completely recovered from my Pancreatitis. It sure was awful. I couldn’t stop shaking my stomach hurt so bad. But, now I feel a lot better! This morning I woke dad up at 4:00a and insisted he feed me. If that’s not normal, I don’t know what is!

I’ve had to stay home this week from school, but Mom and Dad come and visit me during the day. I hate when they come and then leave again but they claim they have to go back to work. Whatever.

Dad still jams a little pill down my throat in the morning and at night. I hate it. Sometimes I act like I swallowed it and then later go spit it out. He gets so angry when I do that. He says I have to take it or I might get sick again. He also said I can’t have marshmallows or peanut butter anymore. I don’t know what he’s talking about. I’ll eat what I want, when I want.

For some reason, I got this horrible illness. Jaquie at daycare was real worried about me on Friday because I was just staring at the wall and shaking. I was in a real bad mood. My stomach hurt SUPER bad. I didn’t even want treats. Mom and Dad came got me and took me to the bad place. The doctor said I probably ate something bad but the next day I wasn’t any better so they took me to the SUPER bad place that is only for emergencies. They said I had pancreatitis. My cousin Max had that once too. His was MUCH worse, though, so I was lucky. They made me sleep there but they gave me some medicine that took all my pain away.

I was so happy to see Mom and Dad today when they got me. I’ve been sleeping all day. My stomach still hurts, but not quite as bad. They said I have to stay home from daycare this week. I guess I’ll just sleep a lot.

Mom and Dad had me outside today and our neighbors came walked by the house. The man tried to pet me so I tried to kill him. I don’t think he understood how ferocious I am, though, because he kept leaning down trying to be my friend. I kept trying to attack him, but Mom wouldn’t let me for some reason. Mom and Dad sure were mad at me. Mom said something about the man being her doctor and it wasn’t nice to treat him that way.

That white stuff started coming down again tonight. I hope I am able to get outside in the morning!

It’s a new year according to Mom and Dad and they tell me that I’m in for a lot of changes this year because of the new baby brother or sister that is coming in April. They went on vacation last week while I stayed at Grandma and Grandpa’s. I had a real fun time and got to play with my cousin Max a lot. We tore up the house and it was real tiring.

That crazy white stuff is back too. It is everywhere today and I got real tired from running it. Mom and Dad took this picture of me resting after a work out:
