Love Bed

Bud is bored silly doing nothing in the house. But he's hanging out with Batman. He's just hanging out everyday waiting for something to happen. He doesn't understand why we are not going out for walks or doing anything. I tell him, "Bud, you're hurt, baby. We are getting you fixed really soon, honey." The surgery is the 22nd. He will be in overnight. I'm getting things ready to set the house up for him after the surgery. I'll show a couple of my ideas for his after-care, so that maybe it can help other people with their dogs. In the meantime, Bud hangs out with his new best friend, Batman. I'll miss him so much when he's gone. I'll be in doggie-withdrawal!

PS: You will read about this story in Bud's book.

Tug of war game

Bud's new best fried, Batman, is shown here playing tug-of-war with Bud to break up the boredom before surgery on the 22nd because of not walking or playing. One of my friends Dan think he's a cat. Here is proof that he is a dog growing and playing with a dog toy that Dan gave Bud. Now what cat would play with a dog like this?

Hurt Bud

Poor Bud!! Shown here before his surgery, with his friend Batman in his crate . After the surgery he will need to be in his crate for 6 weeks. Yuk !!!. It's going to be hard. Hopefully I will be able to figure out methods to make this God awful ordeal better for  everyone.

Poor Bud In Crate
