It's....Kirkie! *pics + video*

[Kater]

Happy New Year, PTers! Sorry, I have been MIA for a couple months. I have missed this place.

Anyway, I had some Kirk pics I wanted to share. He's 9 months old already! He needs to go in this month for a follow up with the surgeon. We still need to figure out what we are going to do for his left side. Most likely a FHO. He is favoring the left side, and I'm sad that he's painful despite everything we are doing for him. :( I'm hoping to start some hydrotherapy soon (if I can afford it). I'm guessing surgery might happen as early as Jan or Feb. We'll have to see what Dr. Y says. Please keep good thoughts coming! I hate that he has already been through so much in his short life...

Such a poser!

The permanent doggie gate, so Nipo can always escape Kirkie when he gets to be too much...

(Sorry, I forget how to rotate videos.)

I call this video: It's always greener on the other side of the fence….
I was sorting Kirk's plushies and other toys because the population has exploded since Christmas. I had them all in a pile next to the doggie gate. Even though he had at least 6 toys on his side, he was reaching through to get this one little piggy toy. The best part was when he tried to use his tongue, but I didn't get that on video! It was nearly prehensile, I swear! I was laughing so hard!!
Anyway, he finally got his little piggy as you will see. :)

That's all. Thanks for looking! :)

Kirk is so cute! Very nice pics! I'm sorry to hear he's still having pain. I will keep him in my prayers that all goes well with his next surgery.

He's such a beautiful boy! I hope he'll be better soon and out of pain, poor guy. I'm glad you stopped by, I was wondering where you and Kirk went to and how he was doing. :)

It is great to hear from you Kate :D. Kirkie sure has grown into a handsome smart young man... you must be proud of him. I will continue to send good vibes Kirks way, hopefully you will know soon what the vets want to do next.

Thanks for sharing the precious photos with us.

Kirk is growing up to be such a handsome devil. ;)

Oh Kirk....it is so good to see your sweet doggie face again. I've missed you. Good luck with the doctors appointments, I'm sure they can find a way to make you feel better. Thank your mommie for sharing you with us again. Kisses.

Thank you for the update! :D
I hope his follow up goes well and I also hope you are able to find a way for hydro therapy, I'm sure that would do wonders for him!!
