15 Days Post-Surgery

Well, it's been 15 days since Joey had his surgery and our life has turned very boring. This is a typical day.





When I'm not resting with Joey, I'm helping Mama. I help her give Joey his medicine. If Daddy is home, then I go out with Joey for potty breaks. He goes faster if I'm with him. I can only go if Daddy is home because Mama can't handle me, Joey and the sling.

Joey has been doing good. He's been a little more active the last few days. We think it's due to the cooler weather. Active is not good, so he has to be crated when he won't just lay down. He doesn't always like that, but Mama says he has to be so he can get better. Mama just zips him in his crate and then we all relax for a while. Every night we mark the day off on the calendar. We are so anxious for him to be all better.

  2. Yeah, I've been wishing for hotter days. Much easier keeping Riley calm on potty breaks with the sun beating down on her and temps in the 90's. Cool breezes are definitely exciting for her. I've put her in a coat a couple of times.

  3. We wished we lived close enough to sign Joey's cast. We think it's great of you to help your mommy Scout. We are purring that Joey will get his cast off soon, so he doesn't have to be crated - especially because he doesn't like it.

    PS - Camie loved being crated, and would often crate herself when she went to our friend's house. Our friend does greyhound rescue and fostering, so she keeps a crate up all the time.
