Third Time's Charm

The vets called early this morning to let me know that Jack was doing great and he was ready to come home.  I got there as soon as I could.  I thought I was prepared for the site of my boy hoping out, but I was not ready at all to see him pulling the tech that was handling him out the door.

Jack is doing amazingly well; he hasn’t missed a beat, it seems.  The staff at Central Texas Veterinary Specialty Hospital were all amazed at how this hasn’t phased him.  (I’m sure the painkillers are helping a lot though).  I was so touched when so many of the staff, techs especially, came out to say goodbye to Jack.  They’ve all gotten to know him so well over the course of the last year and this just showed me how much they cared…I can’t have asked for a better group of people to take Jack to where he is now.

I’m so happy he’s home and so happy that he seems to be doing so well.  Now I just have to make sure he doesn’t get it into his head he can romp with the other dogs yet.  Thank you again to everyone who has offered us advice, thoughts, and prayers through this!  I’ll take some pictures of the incision to add to the main tripawds site.  His scapula was removed with the rest of his leg and the vet used staples instead of stitches (for which I’m grateful…less time under anesthesia is always great).  But here are a quick couple to share.
