Sick Shih Tzu

Shorty is fine.....just saw this cute picture today and had to share it with people who would love it..

Actually I'm the patient.  I had surgery yesterday for a big grapefruit sized hernia.  It was a 5 hour surgery and I'm feeling painful today.

I'm not supposed to lift anyting over 5 lbs for 2 months and Short Stuff is 11 lbs.  Can't quite figure out how to get him on my lap but we'll figure it out.  We need each other.

Oh Marlene I'm so sorry. Hoping you'll be careful and heal well. How about a ramp of pillows for him to climb up? He's not a jumper I take.

At 14, Shorty's back legs are giving out - because of severe arthritis in his spine.  He has steps to the couch and to my bed as well as  2 other beds in the living room.  We're figuring out a way for him to climb up the recliner footrest (only part way raised) with me tugging on his collar.  Come to think of it....maybe I should put his halter on him .
