Jade's Recovery Process

Jade came home from surgery last Wednesday and has been doing pretty well. She was stubborn the first day taking her medicine, which made it frustrating for mama to get her to take them. Good news from the vet is that I got to keep my tail and they did not have to do anything to my left leg for now unless I do something else to myself. It looks like most everything shifted back into place when they moved my right hip back into place.

The next day, mama gave me my medicine with wet food to make it easier to take than just swallowing it without anything. We have a good routine going now. I take my meds without any issues and I get to eat my yummy wet food mixed with kibble.

Jade is still not putting down the leg. Mama has been helping me but gently pulling it down while I'm eating to let me know that I can put my leg down. I just don't feel like I'm ready to put pressure on it. However, it's only the beginning of week two of the recovery process. It will just take me some time to get use to using my right back leg again. We still have another 7 weeks of recovery and physical therapy to get me back into walking properly. I feel like I'm doing better and able to get up and about. I want to just run around and be free but I know I should be resting per the vet's orders. I'm being stubborn and don't just want to lay around doing nothing anymore. These next few weeks are going to feel like torture not doing anything besides rest and limited mobility. Although, I know I will get better and be able to play with my little brother again!

Next week mama will be taking me to get my sutures removed.

I will update you more with my recovery process later.

Oatmeal, Peanut Butter, Coconut Oil and Banana Dog Treats

Before the year ended I finished all the dog treats mama had made for me a couple of weeks ago. So she tried a new recipe but added a few things. Mama ran out of the baby oatmeal from the last batch. So she used regular Quaker oats and used the food processor to grind it finely. Anyways, we hope you enjoy making these treats as much as we did. Ingredients: 1 1/4 cup Oatmeal 1/4 cup peanut butter 3 tablespoon Coconut Oil 1 medium banana Directions: Grind up oatmeal. Place in large bowl, mix in banana, coconut oil, and peanut butter. Create small balls and and then flatten them with a spoon Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 15-20 minutes. When done, leave in oven to cool. This makes the treats firm up.

I'm a Pumpkin

Hi, I'm Jade, I'm a puppy. Well, I'm not really a puppy anymore at 5 years old, but I will always be my mama's puppy girl. I am a mix of Yorkie and Pomeranian. So every year, mama dresses me up for Halloween. This year I will be rotating one of my costumes to be a pumpkin again. It wasn't easy getting me to keep the pumpkin hat on but mama was able to get a photo of me in my costume before I decided to take it off my head. I loves taking walks and playing with my rope. We take weekend strolls around the neighborhood with my family. I have met several new dogs along the way. I am very friendly and playful pup. If you give me food I will love you forever, what dog wouldn't? I also spends time with my mama working out in the mornings. I would consider myself her workout buddy that she can always depend on. I love to run around in the basement while she does her routine. I love having her around to keep me company. We even do selfies after for fu...

The 2018 Year Ending

This year has been amazing! Lots of changes have gone on. We moved to a new place, I have a new baby brother, who still annoys me but is super playful. I have a job where kids read to me at the library for volunteering for Pet's on Wheels, which I really enjoy. The photo shows the top 9 pictures of us in 2018. We hope that you all have a paw-some 2019~! =)
