Love ya too Spirit Lalla!  My mom shared with me all of the good wishes, love, prayers and encouragement that everyone has been sending to us.  She's pretty overwhelmed about it and I think it's really cool too.  I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart.  Not sure what happened with Spirit Jerry last week but mom says that we were blessed with his presence.  I definitely was feeling pretty trippy so anything's possible but nonetheless... thanks Spirit Jerry for taking care of me when momma couldn't.    

I'm doing pretty good.  It's been a week since my surgery and I'm walking like a real tripawd now.  Mom still hovers over me with the towel under my belly but lets me pee and poop on my own without her (a guy needs his space sometimes).  I have fallen on the floor a few times but I'm okay.  My mom put that skid resistant stuff down but sometimes I walk on the other part of the floor... I guess I like to live on the edge!  Mom says that she ordered me a red harness that will help me.  We can't wait to get it but mom says I can't wear it until my staples are removed. 

My wound is still draining... especially when I get up and move around and when mom helps me with the towel.  The doc says that I can lick my wound... I'm so glad because I've seen those funny looking collars and I'm not into wearing that stuff!  Mom mentioned that Zeus (you're pretty cute too by the way... I'm comfortable enough in my masculinity to say that) panted a lot when he was on his pain meds.  I'm doing the same thing... especially the first few hours after I take them but then I calm down a little bit and then I sleep hard for a little while.  With the panting, I also seemed to get a little restless during the same time... can't quite get comfortable... I go from dog bed to dog bed... my mom puts a lot of beds all over the dining room and living room for me.

As far as eating, mom is still giving me a lot of chicken (gotta love her) with my dry food and vitamins.  The doc gave me vitamin K for my blood clotting issue and I only have one more that I'll take tomorrow.  Mom said that Radar (another cute lookin dude) suggested I eat brocolli and other green leafies for vitamin K.  I never was a big fan... any ideas about what mom can do to make it taste better to me?  Maybe some chicken broth?  Mmm... I like chicken, can you tell?

Mom sends her love to you all.  We've been praying a lot together.  It seems to really help us through the tough times that's for sure.  We're so very thankful to be a part of your family and to have the opportunity to just-as Spirit Jerry said, "keep on keepin on"...
