Doctor Mudpie, At Your Service...

Meows from Mudpie!

You're probably wondering why I'm wearing a surgical mask today. 

Well, Mommy has a bit of a surgical procedure coming up. She has something called a pyogenic granuloma on her lip. After getting a referral to a plastic surgeon, she's having it removed on December 4. Thankfully it's a very simple procedure that takes less than an hour, and after it's removed she'll be stitched up and sent back home to me. (I hope it doesn't prevent her from kissing me a million times per day!)

The funny thing is, a number of times in the past month I've put my paw on it or licked around it while we've been cuddling. It's really been bugging me. Mommy has something on her face...why isn't she taking it off??? I wouldn't let it stay there if it was on MY face! 

Then I started thinking...I have some pretty sharp claws, why don't I remove it here at home and save Mommy's insurance some money? My services are much cheaper - my fee is only 25 packages of squeezies. Doesn't that sound like a good deal to you?

Now hold still, Mommy. Hope this thing doesn't bleed too much...
