Pene Pasta and the misplaced hip...

Pene has been extra special lately. And by special, I mean S-p-e-c-i-a-l with a capital S.

A long time ago, when we first brought muttley home, we knew she was special. Her little bouncy walk, her weird underbite, and her yappy little bark. Not to mention, dorkmutt only has one eye. Shortly after bringing her home, Mommy went to pick her up and blondie started yelping and acting all crazy like. I think Mommy got upset because they took her somewhere and when she came back, she smelled like the vets office and she was all drugged up and not moving.

(Don't tell her this, but I was scared for her. I spent days by her side trying to figure out what was wrong, but she was on all sorts of medicine and couldn't tell me.)

The last few days, Pene has gone back to being extra yelpy. She's been crying a lot. Yesterday, Mommy picked her up and you'd think Mommy killed her. She was crying and whining and wouldn't let anyone touch her. Daddy jumped in the bedroom to help her and calm her down and I think I heard Mommy and Daddy say something about her hip displacement acting up? I think Mommy said hip dysplacia, but that can't be right. It had to be displacement. Dysplacia isn't even a word! (Stupid humans.)

Anyway, Mommy and Daddy gave Pene some doggy advil to stop the inflammation and some xanax to calm her down and make her sleep. Well, that stuff must have worked because she was alone in Daddy's room all by herself all day and none of us were allowed in there! Why in the world were WE punished?

Mommy has been looking at hip replacement pictures too. I bet Mommy is gonna turn pasta girl into a robot. I need to warn her. Pretty soon, I'll come home to robodog!

Anyway, I don't do this very often, but please keep Pene Pasta in your thoughts. I know she doesn't feel good and Mommy and Daddy don't want her to have surgery. For now, though...I'll just have to make sure to eat her food so she doesn't put extra weight on her misplaced hip.
