Looking back in time....

This was me at 9 weeks old. We've been looking back at all my old photos and wow I sure was and still AM sooo handsome...don't you think? Well today is 8 weeks post-op - things seem like they are going really well, today it was like Parker had a spring in his step, seemed a little more bouncy then lately. I guess that is a good thing. We are just waiting until next Tues. when I hope to be able to give a good update on his progress. I have to say, he has been really the best dog ever, considering he hasn't seen the rest of the house in over 9 weeks already, where does the time go??? He does sit at the bottom of the stairs in the den and looks up probably thinking, ok enough already, let me up those stairs...NOW. We hope next Tues will be the start of phase 2 of his rehab.

Parker's Upcoming Vacation....

Had to look for a place for Parker to "vacation" while we are on our up-coming vacation to the Caribbean, end of Feb. It has always been difficult to board him when going away - but obviously this time is extremely difficult considering he will be 12 weeks post-op when we leave. Went to take a look at the following facilities: http://www.guidescanins.com/en/gard/gard.html as they came recommended and I was happily surprised. Beautifully situated in the "woods" and a great receptionist when you arrive - that's Kiva sitting there, I think Parker will be well taken care of. Now how will I do? That's another question!

Have I got your attention????

Well I am happy that mom's office has moved to the sofa since my TPLO surgery, however, at the same time, she's not giving up her laptop. I too want to be able to check emails and check up on all my friends. Moose's mom has been a little too busy for my taste, I need to know what's going on with my southernmost Moose. I am counting down the days...15 to go until my xrays. Just to let everyone know, i'm feeling great!!!

20 days to go....!!!

Today I am officially starting the countdown...not to the Superbowl, but to my follow-up xrays 8 weeks post op on Jan. 27th, where I will hopefully get the green light for some freedom in the house - which seems I cannot remember what the rest of my house looks like. Also, then I can hopefully start taking short walks. I am still in prison, things are going well, I feel great and my hair is growing back. Today it snowed all day and I just LOVE to go outside and dig, hoping to rescue something under the snow, however, I had to go back inside, so of course in the little diggin' time I had, I found nothing.

Week 4 - still in prison but with some new friends

Hello to everyone! Hope your holidays are going well. I am starting to feel really good - but still confined here.....oh well I am being real patient cause it's Xmas time. I was a big boy and stayed alone for the first time xmas eve. I was upset when I heard all the gifts being put in the car, cause usually I get to go for a sleepover at Caramel's house - but not this year. I knew I would have some new toys within the next few days. For Christmas Moxie gave me "Boomer" he is in the photo with me. I love Boomer!! Hope all my fellow TPLOers got lots of fun stuff for xmas. Moose - I was sooo worried about you, glad things got better and when you are settled in your new digs, hope you update us.

More Snow!!

As much as I love the sun in the summertime and I lay on the lawn chair near the pool, I also LOVE the snow! Unfortunately, I can't play outside in the snow now which is a real bummer. I love to "dig" and "rescue" toys that might be under the snow, but I can't do any of that this year. However, here are a few photos to see my leashed life in the snow.

Mom...just watching some football!

Sundays are usually spent watching football with mom. Pre-surgery we would always cuddle on the couch and watch together. Since this prison thingy that I have lived in for the past weeks, I have snuck up on the couch once. Well today - woohoo football day - I did it again!!! Mom got up to go upstairs and didn't move the box back to where it should be. I stole her spot and look woohoo best seat in the house, see the TV screen?? Now let's hope she doesn't catch me here. OH no there's the flash on the camera, i'm busted!
