Hey there everyone. We just thought we would write and give you an update to a couple of things that have been going on and keeping us busy and away from the computer to update you all on this blog. It was such a great idea in the beginning and still is, but it seems like we just never have time to keep it updated.Brutus has been doing some of the updating for us lately, but as you all know from the last post, he isn’t really able to update you now. He wanted to, but his “typing” fingers, aka his front paws, are all bandaged up right now. So instead, he’s sitting here and we’re just doing short-hand for him while he is “barking” out (pun intended) instructions.
Brutus had a great day on Thursday. He went to a new vet to get a “major” surgery. He became half a man, as he said in the last post. In addition to that, he had his duclaws removed, hence the bandages on his front legs. He also got updated on all of his shots, which were due anyway. All in all, it wasn’t one of his better days! But it is all for the better.
When we went to pick him up, he came out of the back with a protective cone on his head… ala the great 80s movie One Crazy Summer (if you’ve seen it, you know exactly what I’m talking about. And if you haven’t go rent it. This cone protects his incisions and keeps him from trying to lick them or get at them.
Even though he doesn’t find it too funny, it is rather comical. The cone extends plenty far around his neck, allowing him to pretty much run into everything in the house. Going up the stairs, down the stairs, around the couch, around the kitchen table… no matter where he is, he bangs that cone on everything. He often gets hung up on something because of the cone… and when he does, he just looks at you with this “what the hell is going on” look. Now that we know he is feeling better, it is rather comical.
Even less funny for him is that face that he will have to wear the cone until his front paws get better enough to where he won’t gnaw at them. We wanted to take some video and post it on the blog, but we didn’t do it early enough and he’s figured out, for the most part, how to walk around and not hit everything!
The vet and vet techs said he did a great job while there and got through the surgery just fine. He was a happy puppy going in and everyone there loved him. Not bad for a monster like him going into a new vets for the first time.

And don't worry everyone, we're sure he'll be back behind the keys of his computer soon enough.
