What a difference a day makes. Jake seemed full of life when I got home today… hopping around the kitchen, watching what we’re making for dinner… Now he’s sleeping again… Hope each day he gets stronger and stronger!

Well, today I had to leave Jake alone when I went back to work. I put him in the study, were there are no beds or couches he might jump up on. Also put on his E-collar… which he really doesn’t like. When I got home and opened the door to the study, he was […]

Today is 10 days since Jake’s amputation surgery… and he seems to be doing pretty well. He’s still not running around as he did before, but he has been hopping around all by himself quite a few times today. He really, really wanted to go swimming with me and Wolfie today… but that’s just not […]

Today is 9 days post-op. Yesterday I removed Jake’s bandages… his incision looks good, except for a little redness and oozing from a small area. Last nite he hardly ever tried to lick at the incision… but when we went to sleep, we put on his E-collar, just in case! This morning, Jake was hopping […]

Yesterday: It’s been exactly 7 days since Jake’s surgery. He was sleeping all morning, but seemed in much better spirits than the day before. He actually got up several times and hopped around all by himself… no sling! Then his Auntie Doris came over to visit and brought some yummy treats for Jake and Wolfie. After the […]

Well, last nite I hardly slept. Jake started whining around midnite… I thought maybe he was uncomfortable sleeping with his E-collar and took it off… but as soon as I did, he tried to lick and chew at his incision! Back went the collar! Then Jake sits up and starts scratching at his incision with […]

This Sunday we woke up late… 9:30 am. Jake decided he doesn’t want his bandage on anymore and started to chew it off. So… since he was scheduled to have it removed tomorrow anyways, we decided to take it all off. The wound looks good… clean… We put on a T-shirt, so he wouldn’t lick […]
