Bubbles Lament

It all started out like this.  Summer.  Not the girl Summer, but the season of summer.  

Mom and dad got in this thing they called a pool, and since I did not want to be sitting on the deck alone, I followed.  That's a lot of water!  

They thought it was cute how I jumped off the raft and swam over to be with Mom.  But really, it was me, clinging to my lifeline aka Mom.  I had to be with her and the only way was to swim over to her.

  So yea.  There I was swimming like a pro when BAM ~ ear infection ~ and doc said no more swimming for 2 weeks.  Oh shucks.  I was just getting the hang of it.  The 2 weeks were almost over when another BAM ~ heat ~ and so there I was, wearing a diaper and watching them swim from the bedroom window.  

Poor me.  

Mom said as soon as it warms up outside I will be back in the water with them.  She also says next month I will go in for surgery.

What's surgery?

~~ FEVER ~~

 Shortly after Bubbles first birthday, she showed signs of being in heat.  Then, full blown heat.  Since she has been having a bloody discharge, we've insisted she wear doggie diapers while she is in the house.  Let me tell you, she is not a fan.  However, she is such a sweet, loving, obedient dog.  She does it humbly and without complaining.  

During our God time (Bubbles and I), in my back room, while Bubbles was standing facing outside and looking out the window, neighbor dog (a big, black, adorable boxer) suddenly appeared with his nose against the window looking inside, nearly coming face to face with Bubbles.  Oh, I wish I would have had my camera ready for that one!! 

"No, Bubba, Bubbles cannot come out and play."  

My mama said surgery is scheduled for September twelfth.  I don't know what that is, but I hope it's fun.
