Lucy loves to scare me.

She really scared the crap outta me yesterday after work. I worried about her all day, as I thought she was having some arthritis issues. When I came home and coaxed her out of bed, I realized she had blood blisters on her belly. So off to the vets we went. I did not even let Max out first - I was so scared. (Plus I knew Mike was on his way home - but looking back, I'm not even sure that really made a difference. Maybe I'm a bad furmom? Guilty conscience I guess.)

Lucy went through a bunch of tests, and the best guess is that she fell down the stairs yesterday, as long as the tests come back good today. Its insane. So last night Lucy wrote a letter to her friend Jessie. (I know, I'm really losing it...lol) Jessie is pictured here in this LO.

Dear Jessie,

I scared the crap outta Mom today! The vet thinks I went upstairs to see Max and fell down the stairs, but I'll never tell exactly what I did!! Mom came home and saw the blood bruises on my belly and took me to the vet. It was fun there, lots of nice people. They took some blood and ran a bunch of tests, and as long as Mom doesn't get a call at work tommorrow, then they think I either fell, or Max beat me up. So far no blood issues, liver or kidney damage. Oh and I'm pretty sure I did not eat any rat poison too. But I gave Mom a couple more gray hairs, and ran her charge card up. Thats what girls do best right Jessie? Run the charge cards up? hehe I saw Mom tear up the garage tonight, not sure why she found my old baby gate......I'll tell you when I know more!

I better go before Mom catches me up and walking around. Got orders to sleep!! (like thats so hard to do....)

Love Lucy Sue.

Hopefully she gets better. I swear my two greys go back and forth on who is injured at the moment!

Gosh, I hope she is okay. I went through the same thing when I came home and found a great big knot on the head of my youngest Chihuahua, Tinky. She too went to the vets, and a hundred dollars later I found out that she and my other two dogs might have just been rough housing.

Lucy and Mommie,
We are glad to hear everything is going to be okay. Mommie has no need to feel bad. Max can wait for Daddy. When someone is hurt that is the most important thing. I know we both have the BEST Mommies, just ask all the people who think they are nuts because they love us sooooo much.Your bruises look a lot like mine from my operation if you look at the pics. I hope they did not hurt too much. I hope Mommie can find out what you ate so it will never happen again.
Daddy took me for a ride in the van last nite. I even got to bark at four other pups who were walking on the trail. I can not wait to be able to get outside again. Mommie keeps saying soon, soon, but how long is soon?
I want to run! I want to jump! I want my BENCH!
Get lots of rest and have a great weekend.
Lol Jessie and Mommie.
