One Down One to Go!!

THANK YOU ALL for your good thoughts for Lucas yesterday!  It was a really long and stressful day for him.  The vet-tech told me that Lucas became overly anxious while waiting for the surgery to begin, but as hoped, the extractions of his four remaining teeth went well.  Today his mouth is a little swollen and I can tell it's sore.  But he has plenty of pain medication and because he's up and around and back to eating, I've no doubt he's going to be just fine!
With Lucas's surgery behind us, we still have one more to get through this week. Unfortunately Carl needs to have yet another surgery on his foot and will be going into the hospital on Friday and staying for a few days. So he and Lucas can recover together!

    I'm so glad Lucas's extractions went well and he is able to eat so soon.

    I'm sure he will be a good friend to your husband while he recuperates.

    I'm guessing Lucas will be able to give your husband quite a few tips on the art of cat 'friending'.

    Kitties tend to be loners and don't have a lot of playtime friends. You casually stay near or very close to the kitty at all times. Then whenever they need a friend to have some fun, you're right there and ready to have some fun!

    I tried sending good wishes to Lucas but couldn't seem to hook up to your blog. So here is a promise, I think of you all often and will keep good thoughts for you and if you don't get them via the wire, get them through the air!

    This goes double for Carl and his upcoming surgery and you, too, Kim!

    I'm glad Lucas is doing well and now he doesn't have to worry about those toothaches anymore.

    I guess I thought Carl was all healed. Sorry to hear that you both have to go thru still more. We're thinking of you both.

    Lucas looks remarkable for the day after surgery. His eyes are so bright and loving. Sweet hugs to both of you.
    I will be thinking of you and Carl. I too thought he was doing well. So sorry his recuperation is being extended. I know all of the dogs will give him extra attention!

    oh my god kim.
    that beautiful little face.
    he has known great suffering for so long and now he can eat with pleasure. and he has a good safe home. no foraging on the streets.
    you're an angel to take him in and get him all healed. he has a family now that's real. not the other one that was name only.
    and I wish carl didn't have to go through any more suffering either.
    how one little step can alter life for months! take care of you too dear heart. try to rest between taking care of your boys! xo

    Hi Kim, So very thankful that Lucas' surgery went well. I'll be praying for Carl tomorrow and over the weekend-fast, painless and easier than expected. I know you're probably swamped but wondered if you know any resources for toxic plants/berries to keep dogs away from. I just put a fence up around our crabapple and trimming it back so Hunter can't get to the fruit. Also wondering about pet friendly fertilizers-I used to have handouts but not anymore. Need to keep resources on hand so I ere on the safe side.
    Hugs and much love.

    One surgery over and one to go! I love the way your dogs look directly into the camera because I know they are looking at someone they love very much - the person behind the camera! Sending wishes that all goes well.
