Bailey Doing Great

Hey, its me. Chocolate in a T-shirt! Well as of this morning, no more walking around in a Los Angeles Angels shirt - complete with glitters! Man was that embarassing. I am mending well and am going back to the vet next Wednesday for a check up.

Right now life is just so BORING. No play. No long walks. Nothing that basically uses my front leg - even the eating has been cut back to stop me getting podgy!!! Anyway, people have been really kind and I am counting the days until I can run, jump, swim, play and do all those cool things. Photos will be posted as soon by one of my people.

Dog In Recovery

Its 7 hours since the opearation and Bailey is recovering - fast asleep in her 'pen'. She had a tiny piece of bone removed from her left elbow and is now sporting of my green T-shirt!


I have to confess, seeing her 'coming round' crying and falling all over the place was horrible. I just hope we don't have to go through something like this again for a very long time.

Our surgeon is a lovely guy who said Bailey is totally different from her brother Wessell who he said is a gorgeous big guy - a lot more dominant than Bailey. Here is Walter Strikkers in action!

The one person I was particularly proud of was Jules who at only 71/2 was wonderfully supportive and interested in seeing how things were done, how Bailey was etc. As an only child seeing another member of the family being centre of attention is not easy but she did great. Here she is with Bailey and I in the recovery room - she (Bailey) had still not worked out how to stand at this point!

The next few weeks will be interesting as we try to keep Bay rested and not allow her to walk too far. Even this evening as I took her outside, she picked up a stick, staggered after a black bird and greeted two somewhat concerned neighbors with a slow but strong 'wag'.

We will keep you posted, but thanks again to everyone thinking of us.

The humans have finally managed to book me an appointment to go get my elbow operated on - this Wednesday. I guess the time is as good as any since they wont let me off the lead with other dogs - something about not been ready for puppies yet!!!

Photos will be posted no doubt of me looking sorry for myself in a few days, however, you can check out where I am going to at
