Yesterday, I was tired from my vet visit. They took an x-ray and then they took blood and did an EKG to make sure I was ready for surgery. I didn't realize how tiring it was until the next day. However, when Daddy asked if we wanted to go to the park, I was ready. He said I could jump in the Jeep myself, so that was cool. We went to the state park near our house. We walked in the woods which is my favorite thing to do. We didn't walk as far as we had on Monday, but it was enough. My vet was impressed that I walked a mile on Monday and it didn't bother me. After our walk, we drove through the park and looked for other dogs and deer. We only saw one dog. Mama kept telling me what a good boy I was in the Jeep. I didn't whine like I normally do. After we got home, everyone but Mama took naps. At dinner time, Mama said she had a coupon for a free pizza and asked if we wanted to go with her to get it. OH BOY! TWO RIDES IN ONE DAY! I was a good boy again and didn't whine. Mama commented that I seemed to have changed in the last week. I've become more loving, a little calmer and I was riding better in the Jeep. Am I growing up? Maybe, maybe not. LOL Mama said she hopes I continue being this good. I'm not saying what is going on because I have to keep her guessing.
This morning, I am still tired, but that's normal for a Monday. I look for rabbits whenever I go outside. How do you like my stand? Mama liked that my tail was up somewhat like a Pointer. I had been sitting in the yard, but stood up when Mama pointed the camera at me. Those darn bunnies drive me crazy!
Joey,
The Greyhound Who Is Going To Teach Those Bunnies A Lesson Soon
I don't understand about those darn staples either. I think you'll do just fine with your surgery. It's just the job of us moms to worry.
ReplyDeleteSounds like one of those it gets worse before it gets better situations. Hopefully after the surgery and the staples come out. This ordeal will be far gone memory.
ReplyDeleteYou know all your friends will be thinking healing thoughts for your surgery. Keep an eye out for those bunnies!
ReplyDeleteJoey, you will be so much better after this next surgery. It is quite understandable that your mama is concerned - I would be too. Heck, yesterday Wanda was a little sick in the morning and I worried all day, even though nothing more happend to her and she ate and took walks - mamas just worry - because we love you. I think you are changing because you are understanding that you ARE REALLY, ABSOLUTELY and FOREVER in your VERY OWN HOME with a doggie sister that loves you and a mama and daddy that love you so much and want you to be able to run and jump and roo - P.S. I love the rooing video.
ReplyDeleteWe think the little problems you are having with your foot might be because the plate needs to come out.
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful mother to care so much, many people would have given up on you with your leg problems but your mum and dad have done an excellent job caring for you.
We are crossing all our claws you will be A1 after you have been to the vet.

Mom said she thinks they use the staples in places that don't have a lot of padding to help hold it in place better, but she's not certain on that. Ten to fourteen days doesn't sound bad at all! You'll be running in the back yard before the summer heat hits. I'm so jealous!

Mama's worry; that's part of the job description! Once this is over, I'm sure you will be as good as new and those bunnies had better watch out :).
ReplyDeleteLoads of good wishes coming your way Cuz. I'm with you on the bunny front! Deccy x
