Hi.  My name is Conner.  I am a really cute (if I may say so) fawn Doberman puppy.  Susan is out of town visiting her parents, so she asked me to write a blog entry tonight.  Here is my picture:

I was a little sedated before this picture, so I look a little drowsy.

I’ve had an interesting Christmas.

My humans accidentally spilled some Christmas turkey and the juice in the driveway.  They didn’t think too much about it.  But I did!  I went outside, and I smelled and saw that turkey, and boy, it was yummy!!  It was sort of hard to lick up every little drop, so to get every last morsal, I ate the other stuff in the driveway – little pieces of really hard stuff.   I couldn’t chew the hard stuff up, but the pieces were small enough I could swallow them.  I sort of had to eat a lot of them to get every last bit of turkey juice, but I did.  Mmmm, mmmm.

Only a little while later, I started not feeling so good.  My stomach hurt!  Then I started vomiting.  Oh, that didn’t feel too good – it’s never fun to get sick on Christmas.  I vomited some of the little hard pieces.  Then I started having diarrhea, and some of the little hard things came out that way too.  Oh, I was really starting to feel bad – maybe getting that Christmas turkey was not such a good idea!!

My humans saw I was not feeling good and they took me to some people with white coats and needles (I don’t like the needles).  They took some funny pictures of my insides.

The white coat humans gasped when they saw all the bright white things in my stomach, and then they laughed a little too – telling me I had been a silly pup to eat those hard things.  They told my humans I was going to need surgery.  At this point, I was feeling so bad, I decided I would let them – anything to make my stomach stop hurting.
