Olive gets 'fixed'

So, it is now after July 4. That was a noisy night. All the neighbors were making such noise with the bang-bangs! They were popping everywhere. It sounded just like when Grandma Rosario makes popcorn. bang,bang,bang,bang.

One day, Mommy Patsy took my little sister dog, Olive to work with her. I did not know what to think...I was happy because I was going to be alone with Grandma Rosario - I really like being alone with Grandma Rosario because she 'babies' me a lot. She says ' come here chiquito, I have something special for you...' Then she gives me a snack. Later, we go for a long walk all by ourselves. I really like this because I get to walk her at a very good pace. We stroll through the park, she puts me in the swing, I drink water from the sprinklers...What fun!

But I was also sad, because I have never gone to work with Mommy Patsy. She must do very important work because she is always wearing her scientist outfit! Maybe some day I go where she works and I will surprise her!

So my little sister dog, Olive got to go with her and she did not come until night time. That was a long, long, long, long time! When they finally came home, I was all excited because I was hoping to hear all about the day at Mommy Patsy's work from my little sister dog, Olive...BUT boy, was I surprised when Olive came into the house! She looked like this:Her head was stuck in a cone!

I asked my little sister dog Olive what had happened to her but she could barely talk; or walk! She was in a daze and barely told me she wanted to go to sleep; which she did right away.

After Mommy Patsy had dinner, she was telling Grandma Rosario that she was glad that 'Olive is now fixed!' She also said that little Olive was going to be in the cone-head for two weeks - That is half a moon! Can you believe it? I also heard her say that little Olive had to take her medicine for two weeks and that she had to be careful not let the stitches on her belly come off.

I remember when Bear's stitches came off. I was playing with him (He is stuffed) and an accident happened. I bit into his belly and the stitches came off. All his guts spilled onto the floor. Grandma Rosario was quite upset with me. She did not call me 'chiquito' for a couple of days! But she fixed bear by 'stitching him up' and I can play with Bear again.

So I wonder how my little sister dog Olive got broken. Maybe it happened when she ran into the big glass door. Or maybe she fell down the stairs. Or maybe she ate something bad. Or maybe she got into a fight with Shadow. Or maybe...

I'm just glad that she is now fixed and that she is stitched up so her guts don't come flying out like Bear's. Funny thing is, I do not remember how she got broken...But I am glad she is now fixed! I will make sure that she does not take her head out of the cone. Mommy Patsy says it is for her protection. That way she won't bite herself...Hahaha. That is funny. Why would she bite herself? It hurts. I know. I did it one time! Hahaha.

Any way, it is getting late and I am tired of writing. I need to take a nap. Circle, circle, circle, lay-down!
