This morning I was a bit of a lay-about. Normally, I get up with mom when she’s getting ready for work and wait for her to give me my morning pills and a treat before she leaves. This was her first day going to work since my surgery. I didn’t hear her get up and I was still tired when she called to give me my medicine. I stayed right where I was and looked very sleepy. Do you know what she said? She said, “OK, I’ll come home at lunch and give you your medicine.” Ohmygosh! I didn’t know it would really work! So, anyway, she left….

This is what she found when she returned….

 

 

Let me be clear –  I’ve always known that mom and dad love me.Truth be told, they’re pretty liberal with hugs and kisses. Special treats, spa days and fun times come fairly often. This week, though, has seen an outpouring of concern! Mom and dad keep tabs on me in the house. They make sure I’m comfy. They encourage me to walk around. I even get applause when I go up and down steps!

This morning, the most amazing thing happened! I had gone into mom and dad’s closet – as I do each day to hang while mom gets dressed. Today, mom sat down in the closet with me! What’s a guy to do?  I was feeling good, but a little tired from the exertion. I put my head in mom’s lap and she sat with me for a while and talked to me about what a sweet boy I am! Yes, I am feelin’ the love!

 

 

Since my surgery, people have been telling me, “Carter, it’s ok….chicks dig scars!”  I had my first trip back to see the doctor today. She removed my bandages. I’m a little bruised, but the incision looks good! I found out that the old saying is true!! All of the techs were so happy to see me! I had lots of hugs and kisses! I was getting around really well. (I couldn’t let them see I was a little tired, could I?) They made me feel like a regular guy. I liked that.

I had a good time in the car. I could get in by myself, but mom had to help me out. Those SUVs are pretty high up! It won’t be long before I can jump right down.

Here’s  a photo from today. I’m wearing my new inflatable collar so that I don’t bother the incision.

Happy Day!

As expected, my mom stayed close by me most of the day. She was pleased that I wanted to cuddle on the sofa and lounge outside in the warm sun. I was pretty comfortable (after she forced me to take my pills!) Yuck! Bailey, my sister, took a nap with me. I think she’s happy to have me home….though she would never say it!
