Well good news all. Just talked with the vet and it looks like Peedy gets to come home today. Every thing went well and after a recovery period he should be back to himself. Just have to hope there is no infection problems. Even though I have never met any of you ,you all seem like old friends, All the support really helps. I write this with a tear in my eye as this has been a stressful time for me. Like everyone has said the dog is always happy to see you. you can't find a better friend When your down and out hes there with those big brown eyes saying he loves you and all he wants is a pat on the head or throw the ever present toy The only problem with Peedy is he still thinks he is a lap dog and at 100 lbs my lap is no longer big enough. I have to sit until he decides its time to get up okbye JP
