Anvik needed surgery..Latest update post 161

[Cinder & Smoke]

He pulls it over his head and somehow gets the chest band off without undoing it.
Nothing is ever undone when I find the collar off his neck.

He got it off in seconds.
He has a really narrow skull and he can just slip his head out!

... dogs aren't allowed in my office building.

"slip his head out ..."

Bummer!

Maybe put Dawg-Cufs on his front paws?

Ya know - with all that You & Stuart have done for the Local Shelter -
seems you should be able to ask them to Dawg Sit Anvik for a few hours every day.

Good Luck teaching him to leave the Zipper alone!

The shelter has been dealing with parvo for several weeks. Anvik is vaccinated, but even if they had an open kennel, that's a risk I don't want to take.

He has a t-shirt on today over the guaze and vet wrap. Seems to be working so far. Just have to remember to get the shirt off before he pees! He's on his second t-shirt cuz I wasn't fast enough getting the first one off at 2am!

No argument with that!

OMG!

Sorta like when *I* havta *go* ... gets worse the closer you get to the potty!
Then, if there's a line ... OMG!

Also makes me think of poor Bowser ...
He's wearing a "diaper" around his tummy at night ...
saves making the occasional Damp Carpet and the resulting "unhappiness" of
the Dad Figure when he steps on said Damp Carpet in the morning.

However; I have been known to "furget" to REMOVE said Diaper Wrap before
sending lil Bowz out for his morning stroll
I usually notice when he's about 2 steps down off the front porch ...
with his leg all ready to hike up into The Position ...

NO Point in calling him back to take his Jammies off ... he's already started the pump!

Maybe you could try to remember to *roll up* his Tee *BEFORE* you open the door.

WOoooo PT
Thanks for all the prayers and good thoughts. I had a good day today, except that Mom left me in my crate TWO times and took the other sled dogs for a run. She says they need attention too, but I think it should be all about ME!

Mom says I found my smile for a little while today.

She was getting a parcel ready to mail to her nieces and I was helping, but Mom says I was being a pain in the butt! So she gave me a little stuffed toy and I killed it!!

That made me smile!

I was careful not to jump around. I just made the toys squeak and then I stood on it and pulled the stuffing out. It was fun! As you can see, I am wearing t-shirts to cover my bandages. I've wreck a couple shirts today. One I chewed up and one I peed on. That was Mom's fault! SHe didn't get it off fast enough. It is not my fault that I had to pee at 2am and she was half asleep! Mom has lots of t-shirts that she doesn't wear so I should be good for shirts. She's going to buy me a new jacket tomorrow too.

My little burst of energy didn't last long. I needed a nap after just a few minutes. It takes a lot of energy to heal!

Woooos everyone
Anvik.
