A day away
Today is a bit sad, but I am feeling a bit more pawsitive about the whole process. All of the comments and support I have gotten from the tripawds community has helped me immensely. I feel that I am no longer going through this process alone, and I am so grateful to have found this site. So, thank you to all of those who have been sending Lyndon and I your best wishes and prayers; they are much appreciated.
I was hoping to get some good cuddle time with Lyndon in today, but he has been wanting to stay outside catching a bit of heat. He loves warmth, he even insists on being blowdried in the morning. Oh well, I guess I’ll get lots of cuddle time in the next few weeks. Tonight I’m going to rearrange the family room for him to have a comfortable/safe spot to recoup in. Thanks to all those blogs that gave me ideas on how best to accomplish this. Till tomorrow…

When the accident happened to Mousie, we had 5 days with her compound/green-stick/shattered leg that would dangle in weird angles and flop around, it was unnatural and gruesome. Just to think how much pain she was in for days and days! It was a relief, once they cut that leg off that she could truly ‘recover’. The first day the leg is cut off is your true first day to recovery. Dont look at this situation as the end…its the beginning.

Don’t take it personally if Lyndon seems distant or doesn’t care much for cuddle time over the next couple weeks. Dogs in the wild will usually run away from the pack to recover alone when sick or injured. Best wishes for a perfect procedure and quick recovery!

You can’t go wrong with lots of pawsitivity!
Sending many, many good wishes your way for Lyndon’s surgery tomorrow.

Thinking of you today and hoping that Lyndon has a quick recovery. Trust me, he won’t miss that leg at all!
