Keeping up with Elvis

Well, I have been here for 6 days.  It doesn't seem that bad.  The other two dogs, Cookie and Elvis don't want to play with me yet, but I don't feel like I want to play with them yet.  It is still very strange not to be in my own home but I have made some improvements.  I have found out that Phyllis is not so bad.  She feeds me and walks me and picks me up to hug me and ugh, kiss me!  Actually I kiss her back!!!!  I wear something around my belly so if I lift my leg I won't get the floor wet.  I don't care for any toys here, but I think I am getting used to being here.  The walks are good, the food is good and she lets me sleep wherever I want to.  She tried to get me to sleep in her bed, but that's not for me.  I like my own space in a bed on the floor.  My reports came back and the doctor called Phyllis.  I could hear what she was saying which is that  my Pancreatitus is very bad and she would not be surprised if I had loose doodies, threw up, and didn't want to eat.  Phyllis was very surprised to hear that because I have not got these things happening to me.  I jump on the couch now and sit on the top.  Phyllis doesn't miind but my surrender papers said I wasn't allowed on the furniture.  This place is pretty great because I can do those things.  I see lots of toys but don't play with them.  What if the other Elvis gets mad at me?  I am a little afraid of him but Phyllis told me that he wouldn't hurt me.  I was supposed to have an operation.  I heard her on the phone saying that since I am on so many meds to try to help my condition she thought we should put the operation off for a week or two.  After I have the operation Phyllis said I won't try to mark so much.  I am not sure what the operation is going to be but she told me that after the operation I couldn't make any babies.  I am six and I don't want any babies any more than she does.  This weekend Phyllis had a little person here.  I really liked her which Phyllis said is good for me.  Phyllis was going to give me a haircut at the cutting place but decided that I was still too scared that I am not in my old home that we need to wait a bit.  So that's where I am now as far as my condition and stuff.  I take meds for hookworm, pancreatititis and some other thing I got from drinking bad water.  I will let you know how I am doing in a few days
Oh, and by the way, as so many other dogs that have come to this house, I can understand almost all languages after just a day or two.  I come from Miami so I know perfect Spanish. Phyllis can only say sit in Spanish!  So now I know english which I learned almost overnight because she talks so much, and I speak Spanish because I was brought up in a Latino home.  Maybe I will someday be adopted by someone who speaks Italian, or French.  No problem, I get all of them down in a matter of days.  I will be back soon if I have anything interesting to tell you.  
And one more thing.  I have given up laying on the floor looking at the door waiting for my people  to come and get me.  I think this place might be better and I am starting to forget that I was someplace else all my life.  I think!
