I am on injured reserve for a while; I have an owie-elbow. Mom and Dad don't know what happened to it and if I did remember, I don't know how to tell them. Tuesday night it hurt so bad I couldn't even walk on it. On Wednesday morning it still hurt really bad so Mom took me to see the vet that I love so much. Dr. Matt pushed and pulled and poked and prodded and tugged and turned. I was so brave; I didn't make a peep. Even when he got to the part that was the most hurtiest. Mom cried. Dr. Matt said I was "stoic". I love the girls at the vet store so when one of them came to get me for the back room I was happy. They gave me a cookie and picked me up really careful and put me on a funny table. They told me it was for pictures. I was thinking of the blog and tried to smile. But then I saw the pictures - you guys would not want to see them! They were scary pictures of my inside guts and stuff. Dr. Matt was happy at the pictures because nothing was broken. He showed them to Mom and they got that worried human face on account of some dark stuff in my elbow. They called it "swelling". The next words I heard really scared me - rest, 7-10 days, no swimming or running, quiet, medications (I do not like to take pills!!).Today I am not wanting to rest so much because the medicine makes me fell like I am better than I am, but I am not. Mom just caught me waking up from a dog nap and I forgot about my elbow and fell down when I tried to go get some water. Mom is thinking it will be a funny (not ha-ha) couple of days trying to keep me rested and quieted.

Oh Holli - thank you for telling us in your own, funny way about your owie. I hope you listen to Mom and get the rest you need so you can soon be out running and swimming and doing all that stuff doggies do.
Take care!
(Sawyer-Dog sends his wishes for a speedy recovery also)
Oh, poor Holli. You should let your mom wait on you until you feel good again!
I have an owwie in my paw but Mom can't take me to the vet for a couple days because Da Yeep won't start and the van is in the shop and Dad has the Aveo. I hope my vet is as nice as yours.

I hope the cats are nice to you and don't tease, and I sure hope you're feeling better soon!!!
Holli-
I have been thinking about you since we barked yesterday, hoping that you are getting your medicine in a hot dog like my dad does for me. If you can't go swimming or play in the yard with dad you should get hot dogs.

I bet seeing the stumble would have been kinda funny.
Poor Holli. Feel better soon.
Poor Holli. Dr. Evil says to tell your mom that you deserve lots of extra treats.
Oh no, Holli! I hope your paw feels better soon and that you REST it. And take your pills.
Poor Holli!
Gracie used to sprain her legs a lot as a puppy. Just try to keep a puppy quiet! The vet finally decided not to go with pain meds, because then she'd feel good and start running around. If she didn't feel as well, she'd curl up in her dog bed and rest--just what she needed to heal the sprain.
Oh poor poopsie!
Oh poor Holli. I've had owies like that. Really the best thing you can do is take lots of dog naps for the next few days. It's easy to forget when you're on those good drugs and start to walk around but don't forget. Hope you're feeling better soon.
Feel better soon Holli! The next week will fly by!
We's 'member bein' that sick over here Holli! We both had owie legs when we were little-er - it was no fun havin' all four legs bein owie (but my moms put the pills in LIVERSAUSAGE and CREAMCHEESE - Yumm!)
You're bigger than we were though so it must be really hard for your moms to carry you out to the potty like ours did! We hope you get to chase squirrles and 'munkins again real soon!

Dear Holly-girl, No swimming? I can't believe it. I personally don't like to swim because I am a cat, but I know you do. Please get better quick!!

Holli,
I hope you will feel better soon. I actually enjoy napping most of the day preferably in a nice sunny spot.

Aw... poor Holli. Put on bed rest and she can't even knit! :-)
Poor Holli! Get well soon!
