This week marked my THREE WEEK AMPUVERSARY! I never thought I’d make it. . .well, my Tonya, never thought I’d make it. I admit, I was a little puny. Okay. Maybe a lot puny. But it was what had to be done to get that darn cancer out of my body.
This week was big for me. I had to go back to the surgeon to get a bandage change because I got that darn abscess on my surgery site. The hole is smaller, but it’s still oozing and I have to keep it bandaged. They sent me home in another diaper! It’s so bulky, I can hardly pee-pee, and pooping…you can forget that!
I’m feeling a little better and when I move around that darn diaper moves too. My Tonya and your daddy has to readjust the diaper and it hurts me more than helps me. I’m ashamed to say that I even showed my teeth to My Tonya and I’ve never done that.
I’m sorta glad I showed my teeth because the next thing I knew, My Tonya was on the phone and yelling at someone. She was so upset. Then she came at me with those scissors. I groaned thinking that she was going to try to give me a haircut while I was down and out. She didn’t! She cut that diaper off me.
Gently she cleaned the abscess hole and put a small band aid bandage on me! It was like I was born again. I got up, I went outside, I even ran for the first time! When I came back in the house, I walked into the kitchen for the first time to get my treat. It doesn’t end there. I even stood on My Tonya, which is my favorite activity of all time, for the first time in three weeks. My Tonya even cried.
Now, I have to get back to my daily walk! I can’t wait to see my girlfriend Shady!!!

Hi! I’m Charlie Kappes. I’m 11 years old and a Schnauzer. That’s a picture of me and my mamma. I love my mamma. She is a writer so she gets to stay at home with me all day. She hasn’t left my side since she had to make the very hard decision to have my leg amputated to get rid of the nasty cancer. It’s been kinda hard on me since I love to take daily walks even when my mamma doesn’t want to. Unfortunately, I got an abscess and we are doing everything we can to get me better.
Here is the abscess hole. My staples are out and that looks good!
How embarrasing that I’m wearing a diaper. Thank goodness I can’t take a long walk because my girlfriends, Shady, would see me and I think I better get better before I visit her. She’s a looker. Black lab and gorgeous.
Then when I didn’t think it could get much worse, my mamma makes me wear this! I’m a dude! She’s killing me!
I’m really lucky though! Some of my mamma’s readers sent me these toys in the mail!! I can’t wait until I’m up and at ’em! That octopus really wants me to tear out that squeaker!!!
