Anvik needed surgery..Latest update post 161

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.

Hope you keep Feelin BETTER, Bub!

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.

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!

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.
