Brutus:” Mommy me want drugs NOW!!!”
” Brutus not until 7am”
Brutus: ” Me want drugs NOW!!!”
Mommy : “Not until 7am”
( smaller doggie expression)
“Drugs Now?”
“You have a 1/2 hr wait, and I am normally still asleep so wait.”
( even smaller expression)
“Drugs?”
Mommy “Stop staring at me I said you will have to wait. And after you dragged me all over to find the perfect pee spot you can wait! Sheesh, crazy Goldens.”
And the one who woke me up? ZZZZZZZZZZZZ What is wrong with this picture?
Actually he doesn’t seem to be in pain he is sitting up and working those eyebrows, and just sighed and is napping with back to me. lol

Hope you all enjoyed that quick peek into his recovery. Will try to video his morning walk for you.

Brutus is going to be the death of me yet! Unaware my canine guest was coming up the driveway ( I run a small boarding facility) I was letting him out to go Potty- next thing I know he is tearing down the driveway- full out all four legs. How many white hairs does that equal? He is now spent from that burst of energy. Goofy Golden.

As soon as I upload images from my phone I will post the xrays pre Op and post Op. Brutus has not stopped wagging his tail! He is back to HAPPY! Then again he is in la la land on drugs. lol But, he is eating, drinking and …. sneaking out of the house ,going down to the pond and sneaking in a swim! I kid you NOT! Yep- not even 24 hrs later he is back! Of course he isn’t supposed to go swimming for 2 weeks… tell HIM that. Photo is post op scar. Not all that bad. He had the Femoral head removed, the socket on his hip removed and sewn together to make a ‘shoulder’ type joint. He will walk funny but NO more pain. In a few weeks he will be allowed to play with the the others.

BRUTUS UPDATE!!!!Happy Dance! Brutus is out of surgery! And the vet called himself. Brutus was not a candidate for the Toggle operation- too much femoral damage. They removed the Femoral head and sewed him together. NO future arthritis either with this procedure. Recovery time… 10 days for the sutures. Physical therapy- Run Run Run and Swim Swim Swim. So, I will have find out how much for the balance due approx- pain shots may change it. But… surgery itself was $2000!! Whew! WE had a total of $670 with ChipIN. And several people did a direct to the vet. Will let you know if there is a balance. Brutus thanks all of you. I thank all of you. Our happy bubbly bouncy boy will be BACK!
*********** special announcement…. a VERY Special Angel paid the remaining balance!
