Hi Everyone,
Bud is continuing to show progress(Thank God
for answered prayers) Some friends of me & Bud came over to the house & installed a ramp
(3 1/2ft wide X 9 ft. long) up the front
porch steps,and tacked down some old carpet remnants up the middle of the ramp.They had
it completed before Buddy & i got back home.
It was a real lifesaver & Bud took to it right away.The Doc says restricted activity
for 3 weeks & surtures removed after 10 days.

I must say to all you guys that i spoke
out of sadness ,anger & disappointment when
i posted those harsh words earlier about Bud's 'aftercare' at the Vet Hospital.
In fact medically speaking, he checked out
just fine. (and there were no surgical complications).In fact,the Tech staff were
just as suprised as me when he "balked at
the gate' so to speak.I was able to act calm
& collected & in the moment at the time.
(There was never any doubt that any animal
treated can stay as long as needed after
surgery.Until it is safe for them and
practical for their humans to take them
home. The Vet Tech Staff are very caring &
responsive,and knowledgeable when it
comes to the furry guys. i spoke harshly
and i am very sorry about it now...
The sounds of extreme pain that came from
my furbaby brought out the old "Momma Bear'
instinct i guess.Please believe me The Staff didn't deserve it & i'm sorry i said it.

Rachel..How did you know that Buddy's very
favorite thing is to have his chest stroked
and rubbed.(Puts him right to sleep)HEE HEE

Bud...You must be one special pup! Your own welcome home ramp!! I am so glad you are feeling better and better every day! And liz, don't worry about your "harsh" words!! Your reaction is very understandable, considering your concern for your baby. All medical people understand that family's often react that way out of fear and stress! Please give the Bud Man a great big belly rub and lots of kisses!!! Love, Sandra Cody and Star

Tatsxxx11...
Thanks for understanding..Although i didn't
say anything negative in person to the staff
people..i felt since i had expressed my
feelings here, i owed it to the Vet Tech Staff to apologize here too...
Thanks, liz & bud.

Welcome home Buddy... so glad to hear that you're doing so well!!! And Liz... I know you feel bad about your negative thoughts.. but you said it yourself... the mama bear came out in you....
that's ok!!!!

[RachelJ]

Tucker and Hannah send some slurps for Buddy, and we hope each day has less pain and more strength and mobility.

God bless your friends for building him the ramp. They are my kind of people.

Keep your tail up, Buddy.

[jackiesdaisy1935]

So glad Buddy is doing well, what nice friends you have to build that ramp, Buddy must be very special to all of them. We all say things when we are worried and upset about one we love, it is the mama bear instinct that comes out at that time and who can blame you.

Hi Everyone,,,
Just a note to say that the Bud-Man is
doing good.Every day a little stronger.All
the swelling around the surgery site is gone,
also the bruseing of the leg is fadeing away.
What stiches he has left are being taken
out by my local vet this afternoon.
Buddy really wants to go outside more often
& also enjoys just sitting out on the front porch (with Mom of course).The house sits on
a small rise(hill) & Bud can check out the
neighborhood scene.No walks yet..but he can
smell the outside air & hear the familiar
sounds of his other doggie friends.

That's good news. Way to go Bud.

[RachelJ]

Alright Buddy! You are the dog! That porch sitting sounds mighty relaxing and a good place to recouperate. So get them stitches out and come on back home to survey your territory. I sure wish I could join you there on the porch.

Keep your tail up, Bud.

[Sudilar]

So glad to hear that Buddy is doing so well!! Sit back, relax, be a couch potato for a while. It's great that the swelling is down and there are no problems. Sitting on the porch and watching the world go by sounds really good to me, too!!
