Hurley says "Happy Mother's Day!"

 

Hello all my doodle friends! I want to wish all the mommies out there "Happy Mothers Day!" I gave my mom a great day! Look at the picture of me and her :) I made sure and got a picture with her today! She does a lot for my family and I. She is my voice and I love her so much. She has been fighting very hard for me to get my surgery. For Mother's Day I made sure and had an article for her to read in the Sunday newspaper! When she got the paper she got out The Clipper from the Sunday newspaper and there I was on page 12!! It was a big article. She could not believe that they wrote a story about me! She talked to the reporter, but thought they might not publish it, but they did!! She gave me lots of hugs and told me I made her Mother's Day!! My family members, Joshua and Natalie were very excited to see theirself in the paper too!!

I have doing really good this past week! I have been busy going for walks, chasing birds, watching birds that have made their home right above my window, watch the new hamster run in his wheel, wishing it would come out of its cage for a little play time, and getting lots of love. I am still not getting use to that hamster in my house. I don't call it a hamster, you know I call it "snack". Boy, when I come near the cage my whole body starts trembling. I think I start drooling too. I want to play so bad, and it has a really good smell. I can't go anywhere near him though, I have sneaked into the room where he plays but within seconds I am caught. My mom has taken me to my favorite spot where I can run and run. I like to chase a ball she throws and smell every bush at least 3 or 4 times before moving on to the next bush. I decided this week I wasn't ready to get in the car and made my mom chase me for about 20 minutes. She was not happy with me. For some reason, I know that she wants to go and tells me to get in the car, but I just cannot make myself go. I have so many things in my head telling me to stay. I have bushes I have yet to smell and leave "my mark" on, bugs to chase, sticks to find and holes to dig. I am never ready to leave. I need to start listening, I am pretty sure she said next time I do that I am not getting my favorite Doggie Dip at Skinny Dip yogart bar. If my mom didn't buy me my Doggie Dips, my heart will break in two. I just know it will. So next time, I promise, that I will jump in the car when it's time to go :) unless something happens and I have to go and check it out.......

My cysts have been doing good. You know one ruptured last week. Dr. Genovese increased my dosage amount so I won't get another rupture before my surgery. So far, so good!! Tuesday, I go in to see Dr. Marti. They will check my platelet count. If it is high enough I will have surgery that day. My mom really wants for these cysts to come off and I do too. I will have the first two cysts removed between my eyes first. They are pretty large and they will take a lot of skin with it. I think I overheard Dr. Marti and my mom say I will stay the night. This will be my first night without my family. I am hoping I will be ok. I mean, will they have the Animal Planet on for me at night? Do you think if I stay overnight I will have my comfy bed and some stuffed animals to snuggle with? I don't know about spending the night thing. Boy, I am telling ya, when I get all these removed and heal, the first thing I am going to do is play with other dogs!!! I haven't been in contact with another dog in so long. I miss them. It will be a long time before I play with other dogs though. Once I get the two removed from my eyes after 2 months I will get the 4 on top removed then. It's going to be a long process...but my mom says its worth it :) cause I will get to live a long and healthy life!!

I love The Doodle Messenger!! I am their #1 supporter! They have gotten my story out there and people have donated to my surgery!! It's people like you...compassionate, caring and loving people. You can go on The Doodle Messenger and read the doodles in need. I am on there and more of my doodle friends too. We all are in need of medical help. When you read the story and want to donate money, you can find the name, address, and telephone number to the veterinarian that is caring for the doodle in need. You can write a check and mail to their office or call and pay with a credit card! Any amount is so huge to us..you are saving our lives, keeping us from being returned, turned into a shelter, or even being put to sleep. Please click on the link and read about us:

I also have a PayPal donate button on the right paw side of your page too if you want to donate using PayPal!

Thank you for helping me! I will send an update on Tuesday and let you know how I am and if I had surgery. Please keep me in your prayers and pray for all the dogs out there who need help too.

LICKS and LICKS,
