Catching up with Caesar

I know that Stevie gets a lot of attention but I need some too.
  On the same day that he was neutered so was I.  I also had 5 more teeth pulled so I was in much more pain than Stevie was.  I couldn't eat my regular food so Phyllis mixed it with water and I was able to lap it up after 2 days of not eating at all. 
I just wanted to sleep.  I cried sometimes and Phyllis gave me great meds.  After she gave me a little pill in some creamcheese I just slept like a baby for a long time.  I love to be with Phyllis and just want to be on her lap or next to her or touching her back.  Elvis doesn't always like this and he will sometimes charge me when I get to close.  Phyllis corrects him but told me she doesn't understand why he is not a kind caring dog.  He has had 35 friends over the last 3 years and some of them he just loved to play with she said.  So here I am a little 5 pound dog who understands everything she says and she understands nothing of what I say.
 I try to tell her why I lift my leg but she still doesn't like it so I wear a belly band around my belly.  She says it's because I want to lift my leg everyplace.   Isn't that what we are supposed to do?  I always thought so but she doesn't seem to like it so I look like a fool in the house but thank goodness when we go out she takes it off!
As I mentioned, the last week of my life has been very painful.  I love my treats but can't break them and chew them anymore.   Phyllis seems to realizes this and she crushes my treats to almost power so I can still have them.  I just lick the crumbs.
My favorite part of the day is bedtime.  Phyllis picks me up and puts me on the bed and I curl up as close to her as I can without making Elvis mad at me and sleep like a stone all night without moving.  Sometimes in the morning when she gets up because Cookie barks at her, she takes them out and lets me sleep until she gets back.
I wish I knew how to play with a toy.  I watch Elvis run back and forth to her with his toys but I just don't get it.  I was not well treated before I got here and I know I never had a toy to play with.  I was definitely not fed right.  I can tell because of the great food I get to eat here and becaue my bald spots are growing back in.  I think this year will be a much bettter one that the last few and if I can find someone to adopt me I will be in heaven.  I want to be an only dog that can have my owner all to myself and just watch tv and nap and take short walks.  I hope I'm not asking for too much,
I also can't seem to tell Phyllis why when I see a leash I cower and run away for a minute before I let her put it on me.  She never gives up on me and I am getting better all the time.  I don't run as far or as long as I know she is going to get me anyway.
There is one thing I like to do!  I love to chase squirrels!  I want to climb the tree right after I see them run up one.  I also am a very friendly dog when I meet other dogs.  When my stitches come out Phyllis told me she would take me to the dog park.  I don't know what a dog park is but she sounds very happy  when she says it so I can't wait to see what it is.  I will need to wait till my stitches come out next week.  I will let you know how I like it.
