I have been doing good. My mom told me we may have problems after surgery with my surgery "boo boo" site. There might be an infection or something that wouldn't heal right. So I got myself ready for that. The thing is, it has healed really good..but you guys know I had that infection happen on my head under my ear. I was put on some medicines that would help for it not to spread to my "boo boo" site. Then I started to feel bad about two days after it started. My mom was walking me on Thursday. It started off a good walk, but all of a sudden I started having all this saliva coming out of my mouth, mucus was coming out of my nose and I was panting very hard. I knew something was not right with me. My mom picked up on the "signs" really fast. She took me home and watched me. I just couldn't stop. She called Dr. Genovese. He saw me within the hour. He took my off the Steriod Spray. We think it was just too much for me. My mom also took me to Dr. Springer, my primary veternarian. I love Highlands Veterinary Clinic. They take good care of me too. Dr. Wayne checked me over and agreed that the Steriod Spray was too much for me. My mom was also spraying too many sprays on that spot of mine. She felt bad. She was spraying twice a day, like it said, but when she sprayed she got it too wet. Those Steriods sprays are strong. I don't like that spray, but in the two days I had it on it healed my infection!! So, at least it did its job. I am all better now..!! I am pretty much back to normal. It feels dog gone good to being feeling like myself again!! I have been through a lot...I think I am a good boy and deserve a special treat, or a ride to Petsmart!! What I would really like to do is go to the beach get to that sand and dig. Dig until I just can't do it anymore and lay right down. That would make my day...I won't be able to do that until I am healed and my "boo boos" are closed up. We can't have sand in them. Oh, how I love the beach. All those seagulls just standing there right in from of me, daring me to make a move. They have no idea...if my mom can just let me off my leash for just a second I would get one...play with it for a little while, maybe nibble the fleas off of it and let it go...or run straight to the waves..I love to watch the water come up to my paws..then I run away real fast. Then go back for more. There are so many things I want to do when this is all over with and I am healthy.
I started to feel better on Friday. My mom said I had a lot of people checking on me and seeing how I was doing. She keeps telling me that because of you all, you are helping me to heal and get stronger for my next surgery coming up. She said for me not to be surprised if it happens next week sometime. It all depends on what my surgeon, Dr. Marti says. He thinks I will be healthy and strong enough for the next surgery. I am going to be so upset when she leaves me for the next surgery. She said she will take me back to my favorite yogart bar in the whole wide world afterwards...Skinny DIP in Chesapeake!! I am so starting to wag my tail just thinking about a Doggie Dip!!! Oh doodles, just to think that in a couple of months, if all goes well with the next surgery, I will get to play at the dog park!! Play with my friends I have made!! ROMP around and play tag with other dogs!! I miss them so much...my mom promises me that she will make up everything I have missed in the last 6 months as soon as I get better.
My mom says to say Thank You for helping me. She says that I have little boys and girls who pray for me at bedtime, I get cards in the mail, well wishes and donations to help with surgery and recovery from people who I have never "smelled"!!! My brother, Joshua and sister, Natalie are seeing how kind and loving this world is that we live in. I "lubs" you all so much for letting me live a long and healthy life!! I am going to get through this...!! I want to live for a long time and be with my family...!!
