(yawwwwn) Hello? Guys? This is Bradley. I’m in the hospital right now cause I had my big operation. I usually don’t love waking up from a good nap, but this time, I was so very happy to open my eyes. I don’t remember much about it really, and I’m still so tired. The doctors here keep telling me that it’s o.k. to sleep, and that I will definitely wake up, but I’ve been trying to stay awake just in case! (yawwwwwn)
All my friends at the League made such a big fuss when they heard the surgery was good. They told me that when I’m (yawwwwwwn) feeling better, that they are going to throw me a big party. I love parties. I hope there’s cake. But even better, they told me that when I’m well enough, I can go up for adoption! I can’t tell you how excited I am just thinking about being in a home with my very own family. If I wasn’t so pooped, I’d jump up and down. But I think I’m going to sit this one out and just be happy on the inside.
You know… I was thinking that the special doctor that did my surgery saved my life. I may have never been a grown up without him. Then I was thinking… North Shore Animal League America and all my special friends and supporters saved my life too! So many people worked really hard to make sure that I didn’t go to sleep forever. I have to tell you, when I started thinking about that, I got a little choked up – and not just the usual wheeze. This was different.
Thank you everybody for helping me to get better and to be able to be a grown up dog one day. I don’t know how I can thank you, but I promise if I ever see you, I’m going to give you a big kiss (and maybe even a nibble). (yawwwwn)
I better go relax now – maybe I’ll close my eyes just a little. I’m so happy. Zzzzzzzzzzzz |

I have some big news today, everyone. Remember I was telling you that I was waiting for the special doctor to be ready to do my surgery? Well, he's ready, and we scheduled an appointment. My surgery is set for Monday, June 18th, 2007.
I have to tell you the truth, because I was taught that fibbing was bad - just like eating shoes and digging up flower beds - but the truth is that I'm scared. I know that everyone is doing all they can for me, and that I'll sleep through the operation, but I'm scared anyway. The doctors told me that this is a very risky surgery, and the odds off success are 50/50. They told me that the operation has to be done though or one day, I'll get so sick I'll fall asleep and never wake up. I love to sleep, but I also like to wake up and play and eat and be with everyone.
I'm only a puppy, but it's time for me to be a big boy and act like a grown up dog. I'm going to try to be brave and think only good thoughts. I know that everyone here at the League loves me a lot and wants me to get better. I want to get better, too. I want to get all better and be able to run and jump and get adopted by a family that loves me.
But first thing's first - the operation. Cross your fingers and toes and tails everyone. I know mine are. Hopefully, my next blog post will be the one telling you that my operation was a success. :o)
Love,
Bradley |
