bigfish1965 Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 Well Jack is home an recouperating. His brother...our golden retriever, was sent to my mother's house for awhile until Jack is better. It would have been too risky having the two of them here since neither seems to know when it is a good time to play or not. Jack is recovering slower than most..he is very tentative on the hardwood floors and doesn't want to get up at all. Can't say I blame him. But progress is being made. I'm off over the next several days and he won't be alone for quite awhile.He detests the cone and can't seem to figure out how to lie down when he has it on. But fortunately it doesn't have to be on him much. I have to use a sling set-up to help him walk and support his hind end for now. In a few weeks he should be walking unaided. Here's a few pics I just took.... Jack wants to thank everyone for their kind wishes and for those who helped in other ways especially.
TJQ Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 Hes well on the way to recovery... hes got a good friend.
pigeonfisher Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 Looks good, Rick. Hope he picks up over the next few days.
Dondorfish Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 Thats GREAT news Rick. Jack is lucky to have a friend that cares so much. Good on you Rick for doin' the right thing! Happy New Year to you and Jack Don
Greencoachdog Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 Thats great Rick!!! Poor Feller, he looks soooo stoned in the middle pic. I'm sure he'll make a full recovery!

irishfield Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 Poor guy... could've left him some hair ! He'll be fine Rick... he's got you chasing him around.
douG Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 Thanks for the update, Rick, keep 'em coming. Best wishes for you, Jack and his bruvvah in 2008.
Rich Clemens Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 Good deal Rick. At least he is home and in familiar surroundings. He may get used to being waited on hand and foot ... even carried out to do his business. He may get to like that. Glad to see he's starting the healing process and don't be too quick on those slippery hardwood floors. We don't want any slips.
DebS Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 Hi Rick, What a good way to end the year - seeing Jack back at home & on his way to recovery! He does look a bit wary in the pictures, but I'm sure he feels great just being home with you again. (And I'm sure that you're just on top of the world to have him back with you again, knowing he's on his way to feeling better than before). I wish you both a very Happy New Year & good health to Jack in 2008!!! DebS
MAzing Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 Lucky dog, I wish I got that kind of support from the wife once back home after my many operations. MA
motv8tr Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 Good to see him back home and on the way to a full recovery. The zoo here is cheering for him Maureen

Rattletrap2 Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 Good to see he is well on his way to recovery Rick! All the best to you both in the New Year. Thanks for all you do around here!
camillj Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 Great stuff Rick ... Happy New Year .. here's hoping 2008 sees us all doing a lot better and enjoying the most important things in life !!!
Cookslav Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 Tis But a flesh wound! Nice to hear he's comming along...sounds like you have the time to support him well, so I'd a bet a speedy recovery is forecast.
Big Cliff Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 What a wonderful way to start off the New Year! If you go to CTC and pick up a couple of those cheap carpet runners and put them where he needs to go, that will make it easier for him to get around and avoid slips. We had to do that for Andy when he buggered up his leg, worked well and didn't cost a lot.
