aww Kirk! Those pics of you with your beautiful fluffy fur shaved off break my heart ;[!

Kate, he doesn't look miserable at all and the incision looks really good. I'm so happy he did well! His puppy bones will heal so well. I can't imagine how difficult this must be (keeping a BC puppy quiet! ughhha!) but you sound like you're very prepared and you definitely love him so much that you'd do anything for him. I hope he gets well soon, and please keep updating us with pics of your hunky little boyee! His expressions remind me of Gonzo, I love his face =)
