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
