Kirk pics - silly lookin' at 5 mos.

[Kater]

I haven't posted (or taken) Kirk pics in far too long!! He is in that dorky, gangly, long-legged, big-nosed stage that just makes you smile, hehe. He is around 29 lbs. now, so he is definitely on track towards becoming a 50-lb adult.

He goes in for his neuter this Thursday during which time they will also take some additional radiographs of his hips. These rads will be sent immediately to the surgeon, and after he is able to view them, the consult will be scheduled soon after. Then the surgery will be scheduled the day following the consult (if possible) because it is quite time-sensitive. If we go ahead with the TPOs, then these are probably the last pictures I will have a chance to post before then. For those of you who did not see my other thread, Kirk is dysplasic in both hips and may need double TPOs to correct this problem. The thread about his initial diagnosis can be found here: http://www.petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=111966

I hope you enjoy the pics, I had a lot of fun taking them. He's such a goober!!

These first two pics are somewhat older ones-- they are from sometime in the past two weeks, I think. (The rest of the pics were taken today).

Ridiculous schnozoli! Lol

Goofball!






Pancake dog, haha....


Sad eyes...


I will probably post in this thread again on Thursday. One of his testicles has not descended, so the surgery is a little more involved than the average neuter. Of course, the rads are also important and I am hoping that he is a good candidate for TPOs, since it is his best chance at a normal life. Please keep him in your thoughts!!
Thanks!

Hello Kirkie , what a handsom lad you are growing into... gangly legs and all. He is just stunning Kate, you must be a proud Mama. Sending plenty of positive vibes Kirk's way for a problem free neuter and hopefully the rads will give you a positive idea on when/ if you can operate.
