\nI think there was a special somewhere on dogs with knee problems! Yes, I am another shelter dog that needed surgery on my knees. However, I am a little more special because before my knees had their surgery, I first had to have lots of lumps and bumps on my belly removed and biopsied when I had my spay surgery. It was good news though! Some were benign and some were the kind of bumps that were completely removed so they won\u2019t grow back and new ones hardly ever come after a spay.
\nBut once I got over all that business, of course I was still walking really funny and almost everyone noticed that I was having lots of trouble. My doctor said that I really needed to come back and have both knees fixed up.
\nWhew! I wasn\u2019t sure I wanted to spend all that money on myself because I am not a flashy and spoiled little girl and I can live simply but maybe someone will help and send some money to help me out with this big bill.
\nMeanwhile, if you are interested in adopting me, I can tell you that I am a just a calm, easy-going and independent little dog, who really doesn’t need much. I wouldn\u2019t mind if you have some cats because they are lots of fun to chase!!! And while people are calling me a dog, I am not too sure about that. I have this little soft bed that I like to sleep in and if any of those dogs come around and are thinking about trying to share it or to bother me, I chase them away. It is my bed, not a dog bed!
\nEven though I made a lot of car rides to the vet, I still love to go with out. If I see that you are ready to go for a ride, I know you want to take me and I will do a little happy dance just to let you know that I would definitely be thrilled to go along with you!
\nHi everyone, I’ve been so busy, racing around on my new legs, that I almost forgot they ever made me cry! It took me longer than usual to recover from my knee surgery because my knees were so bad for so long!
\nIt was kind of a bummer that my foster mom lives so close to a lake, because she made me go swimming all of the time, because she said swimming is good for my knees. I hated every minute of it, but I lived through it, and it helped me to stop walking, using only my front legs, so I guess it wasn’t so terrible after all!
\nThe water really did nothing for my curls, and I spent the summer with a short hair cut and frizzy hair. I’m so glad nobody made fun of me!
\nNow that my knees are better, I take my security job a lot more seriously. I would still rather sleep in my dog bed, by the front door than in the big, poofy bed that mom says that poodles are supposed to like. They say the bed is for a king, but I’m pretty sure there’s only room for foster mom and dad, and my foster poodle sister. Plus, if I sleep up there, who is going to make sure we’re all safe?
\nI’m still not interested in cuddling, but I have learned that it feels good when foster mom loves on me. I get all happy, and do my little Tiffy dance. It always makes mom laugh, so I like to do it a lot! I’m so glad I get to make foster mom laugh so much now.
\nWhen I first got here, she spent so much time worrying about my knees and my bumps. She knew that She needed a lot of money to have me all fixed up. I kept looking, but I couldn’t find a money anywhere.
\nI’m not even sure I know what a money is, but I guess I have some fans out there because I need to have my knees fixed and my bumps removed, and I feel like a million money’s now!
\nThank you to all of my fans, who understood that bad knees hurt! My mom says that my doggy mom and\/or dad probably have bad knees too. She says there are people out there who don’t care if a dogs knees hurt, as long as they keep making puppies to sell for money’s, they are fine. I really hope the rest of my family found nice fans like I did. I know I’m very lucky to have good knees, a nice bed and good food, but it would be so much better if I didn’t have to share my house with other dogs and cats.
\nI think I’d be fine with one other dog, but the cats don’t like me very much when I run at them snarling and barking. I just don’t like being bothered by them. I just need a quiet home with parents who will give me a little bit of love, and a lot pets and cookies! I’m not a big fan of little kids either. We have one of those here too and he’s always been nice to me. I just don’t know that I really trust him very much. When he comes near my bed, I sound the alarm, and mom comes to save me.
\nThanks again to everyone who sent money’s for all of my surgeries! I’m so happy I don’t wake up crying in pain anymore and I haven’t had any new bumps grow! They spaded me, so they say it’s not likely I’ll get more! Yay!
\nGo ahead and fill out an application to adopt me and if you have any questions, you can email julemson@wmol.com<\/a>.
