Phoebe the Rescue Mutt

Only took me 3 days, but all 9 of my bones are outta the basket & on the floor. I clearly don't have a favorite.

I had 3 perfectly good bones already out of the basket that I've monched on throughout the day today, but I dug around the 6 others in there to gnaw this one for a while. I obviously don't have a fave. Mahm just thinks it's a game I play to keep her busy picking them up & putting them away every day (at least once). 🦴
Edit..in the time it took to write & post this, I quit. And then grabbed one of the others on the blanket. 😜

Welp, I haven't been allowed to clean any of the dishes before they get put into that machine thingy & no one's given me any treats when I've asked (very politely, I might add) for a few days. I haven't had my peanut butter-filled Kong or even my cookie hider. I guess Mahm was feeling sorry for me, maybe even a bit guilty, so she caved in & gave me a stick. The blue blankie has been down since the dogtors visit so the goop being put on my owie doesn't get all over the nice rug, so I didn't even have to go out on the freezing porch to enjoy it. I guess she does still love me after all. 🥰

Here's my latest health update:

Last dogtor visit in September I weighed in at a chonky 88.5 #. Lol. Had to go see Dr. Susan again today for an owie on my elbow. (More on that in a minute.) Weighed in at a *fat* 90.5 #! M&D says no more licking their plates & bowls clean and no more extra treats just 'cause I ask for them.

So...I have an oozing sore on my right elbow. Everytime I lay down it gets rubbed. I'm also favoring my right ear. When someone rubs it I "purr" & I'm rubbing it on the ground. Dogtor checked it & there's nothing wrong. Two more pills for me to take every night (an anty-itchy & an anty-biotic) and some goop to put on my owie for 2 wks. 🤞 they clear it all up. Oh, yeah, and I started taking a pain pill last wk for my arthur-itis & a new vitamin for it gets here in a couple of days. Mahm says I need to get a job to help pay for all this stuff! 🤑
