We went to see my surgeon vet yesterday and although he is happy with my foot - there is still a small area about half an inch long that isn't healed and still bleeding a tiny bit. He said if it doesn't heal by itself in the next 2 weeks that I will have to wear a splint again to take the pressure off the pad. The AWESOME news though - he did say I could try a few short walks !!!!!! Sadly - like many places around the USA we too are in the high 90's for the next week or so and even the early mornings are still hot for us long haired shaggy types. We did stop in the nice air conditioned pet store on the way home and it was SOOOOOO good to be able to sniff around and say hello (very loudly) to everyone. And YES - Mom bought ME lots of treats too :)
In other news - we must apologize for not being around this week - the Mom has been battling with a Lupus flare-up the last few weeks and is back on immune suppressants which has lowered her ability to fight off germies ........so of coarse she went and got herself a summer cold and has been feeling pretty yucky for the past week. She is starting to feel better so maybe this weekend we can go for an early morning beach walk.
First, we are so thrilled to hear you can go for little walks. Walking in the treat store seems like the perfect way to start! Second we send POTP to your paw and to your mom. We hope she feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteI hope your car was fully loaded with treats as you came back from your store. Hugs and POTP to you and to your mama we hope that you both feel better soon and that you can enjoy a good summer together...
ReplyDeleteWell, I hope both of you just relax for the rest of the week and stay nice and cool.
ReplyDeleteTake care. Enjoy your treats!
Crikey Reilly there's some good and bad news there, aye? Glad you got to walk around a bit in the a/c and you got treats. I sure hope your foots ok and you don't need that splint thingoe again and I hope your Momma is ok too. Those Lupus flare-ups are no fun and nor are summer colds.
ReplyDeleteI hope that foot finishes healing soon! And I hope your mom feels better too!
ReplyDeleteHUGS MY SWEET FRIEND all the way around. Tell your mom we completely understand about flare ups and to please take care of her. We worry about all of you here <3 XOXO - Bacon
ReplyDeleteAwww, hope that foot heals up soon, and your momma feels better. I know you miss your walkies on the beach!
ReplyDeleteHOT DIGGITY, after all this foot trouble, it's only right you get some treats!
ReplyDeleteYour pal,
Christmas
Hope Mom is feeling better soon. Sorry the foot wasn't fully healed, but glad to hear it was good enough for a pet store visit. We like doing that too in the summer when it is too hot for traditional walks. Not sure how much Katy will enjoy alone, but we'll see how it works this summer.
ReplyDeleteOMD we are sooooo sorry to hear that your mom has had a LUPUS Flair UP... and caught a cold...
ReplyDeleteTHIS is pretty good news about your paw... we are SURE that it is gonna be all healed in two weeks.. HEY you could go from being a Cowspot Dog to being a .... HEALER.... that is a Paw PUN fur you...
We are sending more POTP to YOU and also fur your MOM.
First the paw and then the heat and now you poor Mom is in the wars too.Oh I'm so hoping that you all get to enjoy a trip to the beach sometime soon.
ReplyDeleteReilly, please tell your Mom that Gail and I are sending her hugs and hoping she's feeling better by the weekend.
Toodle pip!

Hope you and your mom feel better soon!
ReplyDeletePoor baby. I wonder if no booty when in the house would work in order to get air to heal it up
ReplyDeleteLily & Edward
Slowly but surely Reilly - your foot will get all better. We are sending more POTP for both you and your mom!

Going for walks at the pet store isn't all bad, there's AC and treats!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe are happy for the good news, Reilly, and we continue to hope that last bit will heal soon. Mom says we may have to put boots on Ciara if she doesn't stop dragging her back feet:( We hope your Mom will bounce back from her illness and feel much better soon. Summer colds aren't much fun.
ReplyDeleteWoos - Ciara and Lightning
This sound like much better news about your foot, Reilly! We hope your mom feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteWe hear you on the heat!
ReplyDeleteWe hope the rest of your footy-foot heals up! We also hope your mom starts feeling better.
Cammie!
Reilly, continued POTP for that 1/2 inch on your foot! You're almost there! Our bestest friend in PA has battled lupus all her life, so we understands what your Mom is going through.
ReplyDeletehoping Mom feels better soon. I also hope your paw can heal on its own. I know what you mean about the heat and the "long haired shaggy types", that's the price we have to pay for being extra handsome :)
ReplyDeleteDakotasDen
Paws crossed that both you and your Mama are feeling good enough for a short beach walk this weekend!
ReplyDeleteSmileys!
Dory, Jakey, Arty & Bilbo
Boy, you guys just can't catch a break. We hope one of these days in the near future you will all be feeling like you should.
ReplyDeleteYes, everyone is burning up with heat! We are glad your paw is mostly better but hope it is soon totally better. And of course we hope our sister is better too!

ReplyDeleteOh no sorry to hear that you've been sick! Don't feel bad about the 90s it's that hot up here too so I've been missing walks or only having short ones. Love Dolly
