WOOOOO Mr. Phred,

I wasn't very good on Thursday night. I didn't chew my stitches but I pulled my collar off about a dozen times. Oh, boy, was Mom getting mad at me! Humans are cranky when they don't get enough sleep! At 3:30am, she got out a leader line. I though we were going for a run, but then she used it to make an extra strap on my collar! It kinda worked! I still got out a buncha times yesterday, but I didn't wreck my stitches.

Last night I pulled the collar off a couple times, but I haven't been able to get it off since 2am. Mom said she wants to give me a break from it, but since it appears it's finally working, she won't take it off!

I am being good today. Mom bought me a new jacket yesterday. It's very comfy. Orange is my collar dontcha think?

Mom is letting me stay in the computer room when she is near the house to check on me often. I like it better than being in my crate. I go in there when Mom has to leave for awhile. She was worried cuz I"m not really house trained, or so she thought! It appears I figured that whole no peeing in the house thing out pretty quick! I haven't had one accident yet!

Wooooo
Anvik

Oh Annie, you silly boy. You sure are keeping mom on her toes, aren't ya? Yes sweetie, that color certainly fits you. Also, I have a huge urge to kiss that black spot on the top of your nose! Tell your momma to give you one for me. ;)

Good boy, Annie! Leave that collar alone. Orange is a great color on you, and your jacket looks really nice. :) You must be quite the HoudiniHusky to get out of that collar so many times! Now try hard to tolerate everything so Mom can get a good night's sleep. If you think humans are cranky after losing only one night's sleep, you don't want to see them after losing two nights in a row!

:confused:

Hay Anvik ~

HOW do you get out of that Collar!??

Tell Mom to set up the Camera and get a Video of your *escape* ---
The Bite-Not Folks might be interested to help with product improvement.

And yes, the Orange Coat looks pretty *sharp* on ya --- now keep your TEETH *OFF* it!

If one of MY Mutts tried your tricks - they'd get Duct Taped to a FD backboard
and proped up in a corner! :eek:

Hope you keep Feelin BETTER, Bub!

oh my goodness Anvik, what a character you are!!!!!! i love the orange jacket, it is just smashing on you!!! poor mom though, i think i would be past exhausted by now he is definetely keeping you on your toes that is for sure. lots of prayers still coming your way...

Anvik, love the new coat, please don't chew it up. And DUDE, quit wrestling out of the collar. Sheesh, you're a handful. Good thing you're so awfully darn cute and loving or your ma might have already had enough of you. Now be a REALLY GOOD BOY and sleep thru the night tonight and leave the collar on. Then mommie can get some sleep and won't be so cranky with you tomorrow. Boy, oh Boy, you're a stinker.

Similar suggestions have been made, including hobbling him and duct taping his paws together! Fortunately, it doesn't appear such drastic measures will be neccessary. He's keeping the collar on now. I'm afraid to take if off him since I'm not sure what I did differently putting it on last time! Right now he's outside howling his fool head off. It's not that cold, he has his coat on, I think he can handle half an hour in the isolation pen! The fresh air will do him good(I hope!)

Glad to hear that he hasn't figured out the trick to pulling the current setup off! He looks great in his orange coat too.

Lol about him howling in the iso pen.

Sorry I've missed the little episode on the 8th. Anvik is making sure everyone knows he is out of commission, eh? Wishing all the best for both of you.

I have found that putting a jacket- even a hunting orange jacket, over a dog with stitches on the side works better than any collar. They feel warmer, hard to get at, and it just works..

Good to hear you're doing okay Annie, even if you won't leave the collar alone. Goofy boy. :D

Oh, it will take more than just the jacket to stop Annie. He chewed up two jackets after his last surgery! He'll need to wear something for a long time, even after the stitches come out though. He has a huge shaved area and we won't see temps warm enough for that for several months yet!

That photo is so pathetic. ;) He does look rather handsome in orange, though! Get better, Anvik!

Hey Bub!

Didja happen to *notice* that your Dad's been gettin Atta-Boys for the last two days?
A noticable departure from the norm; but noteworthy, for sure!

And - it's Valentine's Day ... an oft overlooked by Dads & Sons event.
Unless you *bought into* the Flower Fund;
are plannin to *Cook Dinner* for Mom;
or have some other 3-star gift lined up ...

I'd suggest you continue the Good Boy routine and
* Leave the Bite-Not ON
* Keep your teeth OFF the Nifty Orange Coat
* NOT chase da Kats
* minimize tonight's Death Howl concert
* shower Mom with *kisses* & {{{Hugs}}}

Let Mom know she's SPECIAL!!
;)

I'm doing my best, Mr. Phred. I haven't taken my collar off for a few days. Mom let me have a break from it last night and I didn't chew my stitches. Course she watched me every second it was off!

I'm getting very good with the cats. Much better than when I first came to live here and I lunged at that hissy one. Polly Paws doesn't like me much, but Mom says if I leave them alone, they will leave me alone. If I ignore the cats, Mom lets me lay on the couch with her when she watchs TV. Furniture is the coolest thing ever! I had no idea about that stuff before!

No guarentees on the howling. I am a husky, you know! I have to express myself!

I give Mom lots of kisses, but I am not allowed to hug her right now. Usually I jump up and give her hugs all the time, but it kinda hurts when I jump right now. Sometimes she lays down with me and I give her hugs that way! She even laid in the snow a few times so we could snuggle!

Dad's kinda annoyed with me right now. He's at home today and I won't go outside for him! I want to wait for Mom! What can I say; I'm a Momma's boy! :D

Mom is gonna talk to my vet on Friday and see if my stitches can come out. Probably I will have to wait til Monday though.

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I laughed out loud at this! He's such a momma's boy! I'm glad that Mr. Anvik is doing better and I hope he gets to have his stitches taken out next week.

It's okay Annie. Chipper is a Momma's Boy too. Kia is Daddy's Girl. ;) :D

Anvik... don't worry! There's nothing wrong with being a Mamma's boy!
Just ask Buddy!!
