We are amazed at how well he is healing. No redness, no swelling, just a nice clean stitch line that will be removed in a week. He doesn't appear to be in pain at all and is putting pressure on his leg. He is healing a lot better than we expected. Now the issue is to find things to occupy his time! Since he's feeling better, he's going a bit stir crazy and the bully sticks just aren't cutting it.
I also figured out a way to ice his leg. He loves to be held by me, so I put him on my lap and we have Porky-mama time. He loves to be held and kissed, and doesn't mind the cold wash cloth around his leg. Look at my gigantic baby!
So last night, I made a horrifying discovery. My favorite part of him are what I refer to as his butt dimples. The hair next to his tail grows in a circular pattern and he just looks so cute. I fluff them for him every morning and when I went to do it last night, I realized they shaved the right dimple! I guess I was so worried about him that his butt dimples were the last thing on my mind. But now that he's feeling better, I'm inspecting every inch of his body to make sure it's all healing properly. I sure hope his hair grows back the way it used to be!
1. The stingray tails are on their way. I put them in the mail yesterday so you should get them soon, and hopefully PC will be in the mood for them.
ReplyDelete2. You meant "wash cloth around his leg" not "wash cloth around his neck," right? Because if it's around his neck, he's gonna laugh at you.
3. That butt dimple will be back along with his fur, you'll see.
Wow - his leg looks like it is healing nicely! Bubba loves to lay like that in my lap too! I love it when he snuggles up to Mama! Too cute! I bet the butt dimple grows back - Millie's did :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for catching that, D! I do put it around his neck quite frequently, cause he is always panting and hot so I didn't even think of it. I think he'll def be in the mood for the tails since he's just so bored!
ReplyDeleteHeather, glad to hear the butt dimple grew back!
I love his butt dimples! Just like one of my dog's. Glad he is doing sooo much better.
