Well, we are officially Lab-Less! Deizel went home with "Pennsylvania Couple" this past Thursday. I thought they were really nice, as were their 2 dogs. Deizel responded really well to all of them, which I thought was a good sign!

I've heard from
Pennsylvania couple every day, and he has settled in really nicely to his new life, home and family! I was sad at his leaving and do miss him and having a Lab as part of our household. But I think Deizel is where he's meant to be, and I could not be happier about that.

I also couldn't be happier about how Max is doing. He's now just over a week past his surgery. I've discontinued the pain medication, and he's still on strict crate rest. To give him a break, we take off the "cone of shame" and keep him leashed at our feet while we're watching tv.
Going up or down steps of any kind is not allowed, so Max is lifted when going in or out. On Tuesday he'll see the vet and have the staples removed. Then we'll see if he's ready to move onto the rehab part of his recovery. I think he's ready.
And Todd may not look like it at the moment, but I think he's ready for whatever comes next too - He's a Scottie afterall!
It's feeling like fall today, as rain falls this evening. So, I'll end this post with a photo from a pumpkin-patch that I took this past weekend and wish you all a good week!
As usual, there is a LOT going on at Golden Pines. Good news for Diesel and I hope Max does well with his therapy. They sure keep you busy!
ReplyDeleteDeizel's new family looks like a good one. Happy that he's settling in so well. He's a good boy.
ReplyDeleteMax looks a little tired of it all. Glad he's doing so well, I hope his therapy is over for him soon and he can runaround again.
Todd looks like he had a recent shampoo.
Aww, I'm sorry to see him go! But I guess it means you have room to save another soul, which is a very good thing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update on the operation. Did you keep Max completely still in a crate all the time or let him out on some flat ground ? That looks like a much better hoist than the ones we've got. What make is it ?
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy family, and he has mates that look like they are all happy to have him there too. Pumpkins, what a fabulous colour. Enjoy your autumn season.
ReplyDeleteWell done on finding pawfect for ever and ever homes for the Labs....you are a pawsome foster Mom!

ReplyDeleteTodd can tell you that a Scottie doesn't wait for things to happen, a Scottie makes things happen.
ReplyDeleteIt is always good to read that a dog or cat has found a forever home.
ReplyDeleteMust be great knowing that you've helped an animal find a home.....sad...but great! Paws crossed for Max.

I'm SO HAPPY for Deizel!
ReplyDeleteYou are such an amazing person, to care for him as you did until he found his forever home!
xoxoxo
Yeh! for Max
and Todd, love that little guy!
:D
Good news about Max . . .
ReplyDeleteAll the best for his recovery . . .
Our Snickers is recovering from two surgeries in the past month.
Such a thrill to see her "turn a corner" of feeling better.
Difficult to keep her quiet, no steps, stairs, carrying her outdoors
to "do her business" . . . It has been worth it . . . I hope and pray the same for Max . . .
Oh I am so glad to hear all is well with Deizel and his new family WOOHOO ! Good to see Max is recovering nicely to, as for Todd just looking at him makes me smile he is cheeky one lol ! Thanks for sharing Lovely photos . Have a good week !
ReplyDeleteWow! Two lots of really good news! That's great. Recouperating dogs are hard work aren't they! At least Max seems to be coping well with the enforced rest
ReplyDeleteI'm very happy that Diezel found a great home. But you can't be Lab-less for long. I hope that another one needs you soon!
ReplyDeleteAnd Yipee for Max!
I'm glad Diezel has a loving new home, I'm sure he will always be grateful for the care you gave him along the way xxx
ReplyDeleteSo happy for Diesel to find a forever home, and that family looks complete with him in it.
