It stinks to be Mimi

This morning Mimi got put into the bathroom while Jessie and I had our morning meal. She got no food at all. She kept giving My Person those big, brown, soulful looking eyes but she still got nothing! My Bonus Person gave her 1 dog treat but she got in trouble for doing that! Mimi got put back in the bathroom while I was escorted into my seat in the way back of the people mobile. She did not get to come to the park with me this morning either. Finally, when she got to go out with my person and she brought her to the Special Vet to have her knee operated on again. What a bummer of a morning. This is a much smaller surgery than the one she had over the summer but it still messes up a dogs morning!
I, on the other paw, got to go to the park alone. We saw Harper and Abby as we were getting there they were leaving. We walked alone, me and My Person. It is very cold again and under paw it is icy and slippery. There is not a lot of running around to be done. My Person sort of has to work hard to stay upright so she does not give me all the alone time attention I deserve. No pictures being taken either because those furless paws of hers get too cold out of the gloves they wear.
It is way too complicated being a person. I can understand being a dog but being a person would be too much work. They do age well however. For instance, My Person is 336 yrs old in dog years. That is a pretty good thing. Our walk was brief because we had to get home and get Mimi off to surgery land. I told her to stop that fake limping thing or she would get caught in the web of attention seeking and shazam, she got caught. It is a fine balance in trying to get extra pets, snuggles and treats and getting taken to the Vet. I have made those mistakes myself. Last time I pushed too far I ended up with The Trainer coming to our house and having my Peeps learn all of my tricks. Now I get away with nothing!
Anyway, I will keep you all updated on Mimi and how the surgery goes. She gets to come home today so I will sleep next to her and keep a good eye on her.
