He had a good day. Ate well, slept well, no pain, and I am surprised on how well he adapted to "3" legs when outside on the leash for him to go. We have a plastic Boot what goes over the cast....to keep it clean and dry.
ALready have an apointment set up for him Next Friday, 4/1, and then an X-Ray on 4/8. He will get another Exam on 4/15, an X-Ray on 4/22, and hopefully the cast will be removed then, and perhaps replaced with a soft Cast.
Thanks so much for all the good wishes and keeping my spirits from going down any more. Breaks my heart to see the little guy like this. I wish it was my leg instead of his. We are convinced he will be back to 100% in 6 months. He also has quite long legs. Compared to Maxine, who has short little think ones. You all have a great evening, and week.
| Glad to hear things are progressing well so far. He has to go to the vet on April Fool's Day? Be prepared to get or give some good ones! :D Maybe that can help keep you occupied until then -- thinking of the perfect prank. So glad you are only going to taper back but will still be keeping in touch here. We would definately miss you if you were gone for long at all! Your family is part of the big extended YT family that we have to keep up with. You did great picking Basil -- he has it all and now a boot, to boot! Does his boot have the Eagle, Globe and Anchor on the side? ;) Do the Marines call them boondockers? Or was that just for Navy women's boots? You don't have to answer my idle chatter. Just trying to make conversation and get your mind off the break and break-in (at 4 in the morning yet, yawn!) Love to Marge, Maxine, Carlo, little Basil and your own camo-lovin' self!
You might appreciate this: My youngest son designed and drew his own tattoo and had a tattoo artist actually put it on. It is brand new in this picture so you won't see the colors pop like they will when the redness & swelling is gone. It is an adaptation of the Navy Seal insignia (his dad, my DH was a Navy Seal during his early years of Navy life). It has the head down eagle, but instead of the anchor, my son used a cross to mount it on to symbolize that he was saved before he died, and instead of it holding a machine gun, his is holding a sword, a symbol of the protection he has after death. He sheathed the sword to signify self-control and put his dad's initials on it (We called him Roy but that was from his middle name LeRoy). Even the placement, over his heart, was well thought out and even more sentimental when he explains it. He has been wanting this for a very long time. I am not really a tattoo person, but how could I not be or something like this? It made me cry when I saw his drawing and they did such a beautiful job on it, I know it will be a source of pride and honor for the rest of his life. He got a small cross with his dad's initials on his shoulder right after his dad passed. He said now he is done -- no more. Thought you might appreciate this. :) |
