I Feel Better! (by Rhodry)

December 30, 2006

Manoog stepped on me! He is very big. Next to Gracie I am very big. Next to Manoog I am little! My foot did not work. Susanna said "Come, Rhodry, let's get you out of the pasture." I made one foot work and I hopped. I was a very sad puppy!

Susanna picked me up and put me in the truck. I could not jump! We went to a vet's house. My vet was not there. It was not her house. I had to walk on a slippery floor and I slipped. Hop hop hop! The vets were very nice. One of them said "What a beautiful dog!" and "You are such a good boy!" I am a good puppy!

They shaved fur off my leg, then they took pictures. My leg hurt but the pictures did not hurt. They said "There is nothing broken." I am not a broken puppy, but my leg hurt! They said "Keep him quiet." I had to stay home when Susanna went to take care of more horses. We were at Tillo's house but Tillo was not there. Tillo went on vacation in an airplane!

Now I can walk and trot and run but my foot does not like to go upstairs. It does not like to jump in the truck. Susanna helps me climb and jump. I went for a little ride with Allie! I went with Susanna into the pasture to help get a horse. I told the horse to go to Susanna and he did! Susanna said "You have not learned anything!" I do not know what that means!

Your Friend,

Rhodry
