Well Amigos I’ll keep this short and sweet. The old woman Slow took me back to Santa Vet yesterday and LEFT ME THERE and that’s the last thing I remember until I found myself staggering into the kitchen on Worsham Street this morning. HELLO is anybody listening? I said I lost a day of my life in a foggy nightmare with Santa Vet as the Star and Santa’s Helpers as the supporting cast and all I know is that I feel like I got hit by a Mack truck. Seriously.
My mouth hurts like hell and my stomach was SHAVED and I’ve got these three sets of stitches that itch and I can’t lick them because my mouth hurts too much. I am very UNCOMFORTABLE, if you catch my drift. WHERE ARE THE PAIN MEDS??
To add insult to injury, Paw Licker Annie made herself as little as she could and stole my own personal dog bed today. She has no shame.
Get me outta here Percy and btw where were you when I needed you? Catch you later Sports Fans…
P.S. Editor’s note: Red had dental surgery yesterday and had complications during a normally routine procedure. He also had three fatty tumors removed from his chest. He is eating and drinking today but has had a tough time. I’m sure he will keep you updated.

Oh Red Man, we feel for you dear boy! Good to hear you are eating – that sure bodes well even if your mouth fells yucky. What is it about siblings taking advantage of your reduced strength? Our girl Milly (Cocker Spaniel) rules the roost whenever her brother George is unwell. Get back in that bed!

Damn, I know I’m getting old when I find myself crying about Red…poor little thing. Here I am older than dirt,crippled in both, knees recovering from a traumatic brain injury and worried about Red. Hope he’s getting lot’s of love and kisses from that old Lady Slow.

Red is quite dramatic with his moans and groans, Millie, so you can be sure the old woman Slow is focused on his every movement and gives him lots of pets and kisses. I’ve really been anxious about him, but he finally got to eating and drinking yesterday afternoon. My neighbor suggested I give him canned dog food and that did the trick! No looking back! Don’t cry for him Argentina. 🙂 Thanks for worrying with me though!! Hope you feel better every day…

Oh dear, Red Man. My humans and I are so very sorry to hear that you had complications. Complications are never a good thing, and my mommy feels for Slow. She speaks from experience when she says that she knows how upset Slow must be. On the bright side, you did score some canned food. That may present some future complications for Slow, if you know what I mean 😉 Take care of yourself and Slow . . . and when you get better you can take care of Annie!

Poor Red. I have such sympathy for him. I’m not going to say he’s being dramatic hah as I think that when dogs are sick they don’t know they will feel better. They think this is the way it’s going to be.

Oh, no Red Man!!! Ma’s been living it up. Her best girl friend forever is visiting this week and getting her to pay attention to anything else has been, well…like pulling teeth. Ouch! Sorry Red!!! I’ve spent the better part of each day in lock down, so I’m really shocked to learn you had a hard time with your dental surgery. Isn’t it just like a human to kick you when you’re down by adding on some extra procedures, though I know Slow must be really worried about you. Oh, my sweet main squeeze, I feel your pain. Please get well soon. Sending you lots and lots of Sloppy Poppy ear kisses and virtual liver snaps.
Love,
Poppy

My Dear Poppy,
Thank you so much for your kind wishes and virtual kisses. The Red Man has been through the ringer this weekend and has had much of his creativity stymied along with a few other of his best parts, but you are always on my mind so I have written a few words for just you.
There once was a dog named Red
who thought that he might be dead.
He remembered his Poppy
and her sweet Poppy Sloppy
and that brought Red back from the dead.
The End
Well, I have to say I feel sorry for you in your lock down, but we are all happy your ma has a friend visiting for some r & r. She deservers a little fun for a change. Paw snaps and twirls to you!!

Aw, Red! You’re so romantic and really know how to charm a pup!!! Ma’s says thank you for understanding, but I am jealous she and Miss Bev are having a grand time going out for ice cream and driving around the countryside with Poppy. They did take me for a long hike on Sunday along the canal, so I guess it’s not too bad cooling my paws in the clink. I hope you continue to feel better each day Red, ’cause I can’t bear thinking of you being under the weather.
Love and more sloppy Poppy kisses! 😀

Miss Bev and Ma are out on the town while you’re in the clink – well, at least you got a long hike so that’s some good news! Good news continues on Worsham Street. I am returning to The Red Man in full force today and had to chase other evil dogs walking by on the street. Yep, I ESCAPED when the old woman Slow opened the gate and off I went after the stranger! Don’t worry Miss Poppy…I was rescued by one of the Little Women of Worsham Street and returned to our front yard. High adventure. Here’s hoping you won’t be trapped too much longer…:)
