God bless Oliver's little soul. I'm so happy he made it through his surgery. I love the pictures you posted. You are a true dog lover.

Love Syl, Gus (Yorkie)

I have been out of computer commission for the better of the last couple of weeks and didn't see any of this. I am so sorry that Oliver has to endure this surgery but I am so glad that he has done so well. Hugs to you! and Oliver. He's a little trooper and will be back to his old self in no time. Just look at this way, he will just enjoy getting that much more spoiled by mommy and mommy will enjoy spoiling him that much more! I feel for you. The first week is the hardest but then you will start to see the light coming back into his little eyes and then he will start to start to actually get back to being himself again. If you need to talk, I'm here.

Keeping you and Oliver in our thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. Give the little one hugs and kisses from Hot Rod and Maggie May and me.

Thankyou both...and all of you that have been so kind as to check in on my boy!

He is doing so well! The first few days were tough....i think more on me than Oliver! On the morning of his first day in my care i took him out to potty. Well, in trying to keep the house quiet for hubby, (he had an awful head cold) i let all the others come out with us. We have a chain link fenced area just outside the doggie door. Well, i figured i would just bring Oliver on the outside of the fence so that they could all see him, but not get to near and be able to jump on him to play or anything. Sounds good right?

Wrong!

I put Oliver down to potty and of course he came over to the fence to say hi to his brothers and sisters. They were all sticking their snouts through the fence and Oliver was licking everyone of them. It was so sweet.....until Benjamin (my new maltese 4mos baby) stuck his whole head through the chain link fence!

I freaked! OMG...i snatched Oliver up in my arms and bent down to try to push his head back out but it wouldnt go and of course now he is frantic! Poor boy was scared to death! So was I...it is 7am and no one around! I prayed to Jesus as i ran around and came back in the gate and just as i came up to him he broke free! Thank God!!! So....now you understand why i say it was harder on me!!

Things have settled down and we are falling in to a little routine here. Oliver has a stock of bully sticks to last him until he is allowed out of his house. That keeps him busy for a good bit. I give him breaks through out the day when i can just sit and keep him in my lap for a time to give him a little massage. Poor guy, he so wants to just be like normal and do his own thing! Well, here are a couple of pictures of him i took yesterday enjoying his bully stick. I bought them from AMD and they are great. The braided ones....no smell!!

How scary for you with Benjamin sticking his head through the fence. I would have had a stroke for sure. Glad it all calmed down and Oliver is doing well. He is such a cutie in his little tent. That is a great idea for keeping him confined. He really looks super comfy and cozy in there.

Oh Sherri...it was an awful beginning!! Thank God Benjamin was not hurt...just scared to death! Later that morning i had myself a breakdown and since then all is much better! I will get through this as so many others on here have!! I actually saw on one of the threads about little Tatum that Brooke got this one for her so i ordered it for him. It is on my kitchen table where he can get sun light and look out the window. He seems pretty content in there most of the time! Thank heavens!!

xmasbaby75 · 05-13-2009, 07:06 AM

Awww, he looks so cute in his little area enjoying a bully stick! So glad he is doing well!

Mom to Hot Rod · 05-13-2009, 09:26 PM

Just checking up on Oliver. Looks like he's enjoying those bullies! lol. I get ours from AMD also and the babies love them and I do to...no smell!

Sounds like you had a morning with the others. I'm glad all turned out well though. I would have been scared to death too! Hugs to you and Oliver.

alaskayorkie · 05-13-2009, 10:15 PM

Wow, I missed the Oliver and Benjamin excitement. I'm so glad everything worked out. I hate moments like that of sheer panic and no easy answers. Sounds like you did great!

That is one GIANT bully stick. Eddie is so jealous.

Lisa and Pic · 05-14-2009, 02:04 AM

What sweet pictures of Oliver.

Wish Piccolo was there to chew with him. (Those are her favorite too. ♥ ) The fence thing sounds soooo scary. Glad things turned out okay in the end. Just keep it up.... You are doing great, Mom!

sherrijmkassie · 05-19-2009, 05:32 AM

Hey Jeanne, just checking in to see how Oliver is doing?

Thanks Sherri! Oliver is doing well! We got his stitches out yesterday! Yay...no more worries about them!

He is adjusting to having to be kept in his little house. The bullies really help!! Can you imagine how bored he must be!!? But he appears to be doing quite well. I look forward to seeing the surgeon again (wont be for about the end of June) when they will do xrays to take a look at all that was done. At that point i hope he will be allowed out of confinement. Thank God Oliver is a pretty passive dog. It would be a lot harder if it were Brooklyn! We are going camping with family and friends with the travel trailer for the Memorial Day Holiday! We go to Jordan Lake...it is a big lake about 20 minutes from home, but when you are there it feels like you are a million miles away!! We are taking Oliver, Brooklyn and Benjamin with us...and of course Olivers special house!! I am looking forward to some relaxing by the lake. It is supposed to be nice this weekend!!

sherrijmkassie · 05-19-2009, 06:47 AM

Hey great news that he is doing well and the stitches are gone. You are indeed lucky that he is such a good little guy.

We camp every weekend too, we went seasonal this year because of DH's work schedule. I can just pick up and go with the grandkids without worrying about getting the motorhome over.

I hope you have a fantastic weekend away camping, you deserve the break.

Hugs and thanks for the update.

BonBon · 05-19-2009, 07:07 AM

I was just checking in on Oliver and I'm so happy to see the good update!!! How's he liking his new little house? I love the idea of putting it up on the table so he can see out!

I'm so jealous - a weekend at the lake sounds woooooooonderful! Hope you all enjoy yourselves!

alaskayorkie · 05-19-2009, 10:13 AM

Thanks for the update! Sounds like your little man is doing GREAT. Or should I call him little "camper?" That will be such a treat for all of you. Have a great time.

Lisa and Pic · 05-19-2009, 02:12 PM

Hi Jeanne! So glad Oliver got his stitches out. Keep the updates coming!

Have fun on your trip and let us know how sweet Oliver does in the great outdoors, in his little home.
