jack (the bear) update

a forum member jogged my memory -- i owe this community an update on my boy.

jack was x-rayed, and we got an all clear on his hips and knees. rimadyl and a period of reduced activity had him right as rain.

right now the big boy isn't real pleased with me. he's recovering from post neuter scrotal swelling (wow -- i never saw anything like that before!) and has torn through two elizabethan collars. today i made him what looks like the world's largest whiplash collar -- large bath towel folded in half, then folded in half again, and then duct taped all around from ears to shoulders. he had the same disgusted look on his face when i left for work today that preceded destroying the e-collars, which lets me know he intends to try to get out of it. it stayed on last evening and overnight, so my fingers are crossed that it'll stay on him so he an finish healing.

otherwise, jack is a true gentleman (who just happens to snore like a freight train), and is patiently working on mending my broken heart. the big guy has character galore.

Re: jack (the bear) update

Such happy news! Dogs can mend so many things that are torn in our lives.

I can just picture his expression. We won't ask you to embarrass him further by actually TAKING a picture. And I love the snoring part too... mine snores as well, but fairly softly. At least you know they are REALLY relaxed and sleeping soundly when they do that (even though they might be keeping YOU awake) .

Happy dog (or, al least he will be when he can officially have that neckwear removed)!
