Yes, Joey received another package today. He received the X-pen, courtesy of Greyhound Companions of Missouri. (Yes, we do have a WONDERFUL group. They are making sure that Joey gets the best medical care, plus everything else that makes taking care of him as easy as possible.) He will use it and then it will be saved for the next greyhound that needs it. Mama thinks he will like it. It's bigger than it looks in the pictures and no, I did not want to test it out. Mama said she will probably put a big, thick quilt in there instead of a bed. She put the bed in to check out the size, since I didn't want to do it.
We can make it into various shapes as you can see. It has a gate that makes it easy to get in and out. Mama told me that if we need it to be bigger, we can use one of our walls as a wall for it and that will make it bigger. Confused? Me, too. I need to see that in action. It's not like we want Joey to have too much room though. He can't be having a party in there.
Mama received a Joey update and it's good. He's eating, drinking and being a good boy. They put a soft cast on his foot today and they may put a harder cast on Tuesday. We will just have to wait and see on that. We were told he would not have a cast, but we think it might be for the best. Mama has been nervous about him getting hurt without a cast. We still don't have a firm date as to when he's coming home. We think it will be Wednesday or Thursday, but it just depends on how well he is doing. He's going to be surprised by all the new things that have arrived for him.

That's a really fantastic pen, and I will have to remember that such a thing exists if one of mine ever needs recovery time. I'm thinking of all of you, most especially Joey. I'm sure that you'll be very happy to have him safe and sound at home again.
ReplyDeleteThat xpen is great looking, looks much safer than the wire one we have. Reminds me of the baby gate we have to block off the stairs. So glad Joey is doing well and hopeful his confinement time and recovery flies by for him.
ReplyDeleteI hope Joey doesn't figure out that he can slip that sharp nose under the wall and get out!
ReplyDeleteMore pressies? How wunderful fur Joey! I sure hopes he can come home soon.

Hi Y'all,
ReplyDeleteStill thinkin' of y'all and keepin' my paws crossed for Joey. It sure was nice that y'all have all that help with his recovery. I just have one question? With all that STUFF, is there going to be room for you and Joey?
Y'all come by now,

That ex-pen is fantastic! We have one here, but it's the old metal kind. Your adoption group sounds really wonderful! I'm glad they're taking such good care of Joey!

P.S. I wouldn't volunteer to test it out, either!
Sounds like Joey is doing well. He will probably do even better once he gets home!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear Joey continues to do well-can't wait till he gets to come home again :)
