Ernie Update

Hey Everybuddy,  Things are looking up!  Went to see Dr Vet.  I like him and he likes me.  Says I am a VERY good patient. ALSO next week the cone of shame will come off AND prolly the stitches will be out too!!!



Not too shabby! I got me a NEW fancy harness out of the deal.  It has stars on it - M says that I am a star... I like that!

These stitches look  BIG but the vet explained why.  Instead of just having the edges meet he lapped them cuz it would help later to keep the stitches strong.. or something like that.  Maybe it had to do with scarry tissue.

How do you like the haircut they gave me on my leg? I feel bald. It shows how long my other hairs are getting.  Pretty shaggy looking and M says it's hard to see my eyes most of the time.   She is talking about a bath before too long.  When the Vet says it's ok.  The vet is VERY happy with my progress and says I am doing great AND M & D are doing a wonderful job of making sure I (and they!) follow the RULES!  He had a dog in that had the same surgery as me on the same day BUT THEY hadn't been following the rules AND his leg is not improving like it should!  Guess I am glad M & D are making me follow them.  Not as much fun though.  Only 7 more weeks and I should be my old self...like that!
