Hey everyone.

I had surgery on Thursday to repair a partial tear in my shoulder ligament. I don't know which one, I'm just a dog and not a Vet.

At first they thought I was going to have to stay the night there at the hospital, which had me and my mom kind of upset because we've never been apart overnight since I came to live with her. But, as luck would have it, the Dr. said I could go home after 6 pm and so Mom was there at 6:30 to pick me up!

I have to wear a sling for two weeks. :( It's uncomfortable and awkward. I can only hobble around on three legs, and the only time I get to go outside is when I have to go potty. The rest of the time, I just lay on the couch or on a big cushion on the floor. I watch TV, I chew on my Kong, I sleep. *sigh*

After the sling comes off, I have to wear Dog Leggs Hobbles -- which is a vest type thing that allows me to walk while keeping the shoulder in place.

Hopefully by Christmas, I'll be able to play with all my friends again!

Until then, I'll just be hanging out, going for rides in my Beagle Buggie, and over-indulging in vegetables. Bleh!
