Boogie Blogging Friday

Friday, October 30, 2009
Boogie's feeling a bit better today. His sedation has worn off, so he's a bit steadier on his feet, and he's stopped keeping what's left of his tail tucked. He's still on pain medication, though, so he's whining a lot and wandering around the house looking lost.

You can see the incision on his neck. His vet used staples, I assume because the skin gets pulled in so many directions during normal activity. He goes back in 10-14 days to have those removed. I hope they're less painful to remove than mine were when I had my C-section, 'cause damn.

I'm just happy he came through with his usual proclivity for fast healing and a desire to continue with his normal activities. He was quite miffed this morning when I did not reach for his leash for our daily walk, although he wasn't nearly as disappointed as he's been in the past when he was constrained. The price of getting older, I guess.

I'm better, too, Stacey. Thanks for asking. I'm such a dork when it comes to my Boogie-Dog. I think I may be transferring my maternal attentions to the dog in lieu of the Smart Twins. Since my current motherly job is to let them go, that energy has to go SOMEWHERE.

Glad to see some sparkle in his eyes today!

And I've always believed pets are our furry children. So dork away over Boogie!

He is a HANDSOME doggie. Those ears get me every time. Scritch them for me, please! I'm glad he's on the mend and your worries are easing. :)
