Still not terribly happy about this new apparel. But Mom says he can contort his head and neck in such a way that he can lick his wound. So the shirt stays.
One of his favorite things to do, rub the side of his face along the sofa. If you look closely, you can see the spot on the side of his lips where he had a small lump removed. It was just one of those warty things, not a bad one.
Mom, can I please go outside?
He is not happy about going potty while on a leash, so Mom is letting him go out without it under her watchful eye and only long enough to take care of business.
OK, I'm done. Let's go back inside.
Mom is happy to report that he has let her put the compress on his incision and check for swelling. She thinks he actually likes the compress. She did notice that he has managed to pop a stitch but everything looks good. The pill pockets are working so far for his meds, but it won't be long before he figures out what is going on.
We also wanted to let you all know that our three Paw It Forward recipients are Martha and Bailey, Sugar, and the NY Bully Brats. We have pawed off a contribution to the rescue organizations of their choice.
Martha and Bailey - www.caninerescue.co.uk- this is where Bailey came from.
Sugar - http://www.bullterrierrescue.org/ - for bull terrier rescue.
The NY Bully Brats - http://www.thelastresortrescue.com/ - the group that saved Laska.
We hope that our donations will help some other pups in some small way.
Woos, the OP Pack

We are glad other great organizations got a donation!! We think your idea was so great, we may just copy you!!

You're looking good, Phantom! This is one of those times - few as they are! - when you need to do what your mom tells you to.
ReplyDeleteTo paraphrase the Thundering Herd, there's time enough for mischief later! HA rooo!

Quite dashing, that shirt!!
ReplyDeleteBut I know how much fun it is to rub yourself all over the sofa edge, or the bedskirt, or anything else that's convenient. (Then watch Mom try to get the oily stains out!!)
Pawsonally, I like to remodel the living room when I come back from a walk, rubbing against a light wicker chair and sending it to different places.
Keep that shirt on, pal!! And we're thinking about you.
Woofs to Thunder too.

WOOO Phantom, I am sure you are sick of all of this.Poor baby. A leash even to go potty plus a shirt,, awwww... Tell your Mom once the pill pockets stop working to use peanut butter or cheese wiz (my favorite!)

Holy cats, Phantom! Mom let me get way behind in my visiting and I missed all this! I'm sorry that you hadded to have surgery. It looks hurty, but I'm glad you're letting your mom put compresses on it. I bet that feels pretty good. Keep letting her do it and you'll be all healed up good. We are all praying real hard for you guys.
ReplyDeleteYour pal,

We are glad to hear that Phantom is doing good.
ReplyDeleteCheese is Mom's secret weapon for giving pills. She just gets those slices of American cheese and wraps the pill up in it. We love it.

Phantom,
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel about clothes - I hate to wear them too - but it really could be worse because they could have put one of those horrible e-collars on you! Glad you're feeling better today. Great idea to send donations for Paw It Forward!

Take care Phantom!! I think you are looking great!!
Holly
Phantom! We are sorry we haven't visited for a few days and look what happened! Sending you sunshine rays and happy thoughts while that scar heals. In March, I was wearing a T shirt too, popping pills and hating to do the biz on a leash. I totally understand, you poor dear. Paws crossed here for a qwik healing. Ugh. Your mom is a wonderful nurse who will help you mightily. Thinking of you with hugs and love xo
ReplyDeleteSammie
Poor phantom - hope you are doing a little better - you look ver nice in your t-shirt
ReplyDeleteWoodrow, Sweetie & MJ
Hey Guys! So glad Phantom is healing well and cooperating. Sometimes us silly pups don't understand how important it is to cooperate. I have some suture photos too but I wasn't sure if I could tell that story and post em...now you've got me thinking! Oh, and Mom wants to know if OP stands for a KC suburb cause we are in KCMO.
ReplyDeleteLove and hugs,
Twix
We're glad Phantom is being a good patient. I guess he knows that you're just trying to help. I wouldn't like to potty on a leash either!
