Hey, just checking in to see how Max is...I'm about to take Big Girl out and I usually look up at the full Moon to see my Old Girl flying across the stars through heaven with the other loved animals..so will put you both up in prayer that all went well and Max is resting.

((((hugs)))))

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Prayers and positive thoughts worked. The vet said he was a very lucky boy. It looks as if he ran onto a root or branch and impaled his chest. Luckily it did not pierce anything major and as he got himself free he ripped his chest open.

He came home last night and slept on my bed. He is obviously very subdued and sore but I'm sure he will recover. He is eating (the vet has given some recovery food which looks and smells like a rather nice pate - no, I haven't tried it). I put his liquid pain meds on the food and his anti biotic in some cheese.

He doesn't like to walk, even to the kitchen. I don't think he likes the dressing which is coming loose and obviously it hurts.

I was so relieved to have him home. He completely scuppered our plans for the night. We were due to go and stay with my daughter overnight. It had been planned for weeks and we were looking forward to it so much. She was very upset, but we will have to plan it in the new year.

(((HUGS))) and thank you for caring, he may be just a stupid dog, but he is my stupid dog.
 
I am very relieved, KP. I was worried because I know how very important your dogs are to you. I completely understand...they are like children. Even though you are home and not able to go away this weekend I want to wish you congratulations on your daughter's birthday and I hope you still get to decorate the tree. Give Max a pat on the head for me!!

(((Big hug))) for you and Max. I couldn't find one that looked like him, but the idea is there!!!
