There’s no place like home…

Well Moo Dawg is finally home and it’s like he’d never been away. Toddy, the Goldendoodle was overjoyed to see him, tail wagging so fast we could barely see it. The appetite is certainly not an issue, first thing Miller did was go to Toddy’s empty breakfast bowl and start licking it. Then he tested out both beds for comfort before looking around to see who would be first to fuss him. I made him dinner and he had a really good go at it until it looked like his remaining hind leg was getting tired when he went and laid down. Still he’s got something in him, and he took his meds without issue… so far so good. He’s learned an interesting technique for peeing, instead of twisting his hip away from his standing leg, as he used to in order to cock his leg, he now twists towards the standing leg and pees between his front and rear leg… I was impressed!

While I was typing the above I just looked around and Miller has somehow got himself onto the sofa, he turned round a few times, decided it wasn’t as comfortable as he remembered (he’s not allowed on the sofa but occasionally sneaked on) and climbed quite easily back off!

Pictures of Moo and his war wound below – not for the squeamish as he’s very bruised.

Miller’s coming home…

Got the call we’ve been waiting for this morning, Miller had a good day yesterday, is up and about and eating plus the swelling is significantly reduced. He’s still black and blue (in addition to being a blue greyhound) and he has a cut on his other paw where the swelling got so bad it effectively burst the skin in the early days post surgery, but he’s able to come home. It’s been 10 days since I saw my beloved pooch and I can’t wait to see him. I’ve been warned that he looks bad, even for an amputee, I’ve looked at as many post op photos as i could find in preparation but I suspect it will still be horrible, still, he’s alive and coming home, and he’s still the same dog! I’m sure that, if Toddy could understand, he’d be over the moon to know his big bro’s going to be home soon!
