How did I face the ridiculous hot temperatures outside and the even hotter air inside? Easily, I just took a couple of nice cold baths everyday.<br />
<br />
Whenever I started to warm up my parents tossed me in the tub and filled it with very cold well water. I love baths and I love being comfortable so it all worked out well. It only would have been better if I had a friend to join me and maybe some food.<br />
<br />
Until next time, keep your cool.

I love cooked food, well all food for that matter, except celery of course unless there's peanut butter on it.<br />
<br />
Now where was I. Oh yeah I love me some electricity. It's so good I decided to wake up 2 hours early today just to celebrate.<br />
<br />
Surely my parents don't mind me wanting to get up and do everything I normally do 2 hours early do they?<br />
;)<br />

Letting pugs get too hot is a very bad thing.

With some regular exercise I should enjoy a healthy complete life. The tumor was type 1 with good margins which was the best outcome I could have under the circumstances.<br />
<br />
So I'll go with a hitch in my step. A hitch my parents say was caused by the surgery. I say it was always there. ;)<br />

This hurts and I'm unhappy but I feel a little more myself than I did post-op yesterday.<br />
