Mommy and Daddy came to visit me in the hospital today. I was so happy to see them that I tried to swim out of the nurse's arms through the air to get to them. The nurse was good and held on tight so I wouldn't fall. We got to spend some time together in the "quiet room," which is this very nice room with carpets and couches and boxes of tissue. I wimpered a lot because I am so sad right now. There is something funny with my legs...I can't seem to make them do what I want.
I get to come home tomorrow, and Mommy and Daddy are spending all day today preparing for my arrival with pee pads, a new low-front doggy bed, and a reinstatement of the ex-pen and crate system. I remember when I was very small I had to be on what they called "crate rest" for a long time because my pelvis was hurty. I have to do the same thing now because my legs and back are hurty.
I am trying to keep my chin up and be brave for Mommy and Daddy. It has been very helpful to me (and especially Mommy) over the last few days to use my blog as someplace to talk about my troubles and to read all the encouraging comments from all my DWB friends. I promise I will be around visiting and commenting when I am feeling a bit better.
love,
Poppy the Little Blonde Chihuahua

Oh Poppy... it makes me cry to read your post. And I know I should be happy because you're doing well, but your incision just makes me sad. :*(
Take your time getting well and don't feel bad about not visiting or commenting on blogs. Please get better SOON!
Oh, and thank your mom for keeping us updated while you are going through these hard time!
Love you!
Oh Poppy, that's a pretty big Ouchie on your back. If I were there I'd give you gentle healing licks to make you feel better.
I'm glad you get to go home tomorrow. It might be a little tuff being on crate rest, but at least you'll be in your own house, with your own people to care for you 24/7.
Lots of nubby wiggly prayers for you to heal FAST!!
XOXOXOXOXOXO,

Hiya,
Nice to meet you. We just read about your surgery on DWB and came to wish you a speedy recovery.
Hope it went well.
Hugs and tail wags

Congratulations Poppy for being able to go home soon.
I am sure you will be up and running again in no time. Do you have any vet who can do acupuncture in your area? it helps loads if you can receive acupuncture treatment too.
Luv,
Snowball
S&E,
My heart really goes out to you guys. It must have been so hard to see Poppy and not be able to bring her home, but I bet it was therapeutic for all of you to spend some time with each other. Her incisions made me so sad, but she still has her adorable, signature "Poppy" look in these pictures. What an angel!
I know she will use her legs again and I wish her the speediest recovery possible. I continue to send all good wishes your way.
Thanks for keeping us posted on Poppy. We'll keep checking back for updates.

Hi Poppy,
My name is Koobuss and I am a wire fox terrier.
I just found your blog and I am so sad and sorry to hear about your problems and your surgery. Little doggies should never have to suffer. We hurt no one and love everybody. We do no wrong. It's just not fair that you should have such pain. You poor sweet little angel. And your family is hurting right along with you. We send our best wishes to them, too.
Best of luck to you in your recovery and rehab! Get well soon, my little friend.

I really really hope you feel better soon. I don't like to sympathise with dogs but for you I will make an exception. I think you are adorable and I just want you to get better. Your humans are clearly giving you the best treatment imaginable. I may have to come over and stay awhile.
