Blog filler

One of the great things about puppies is that you can always take a group of pictures and fill up a blog post even if you don't have much to say. Another great thing about them is how easy they are to entertain. A cardboard box, an empty plastic soda bottle, tubes from paper towels, toilet paper, or gift wrap, all make excellent, new, exciting play toys.



Rocky continues to improve. Paul said he'd be ready to come home if he wasn't having the second surgery. It will be either today or tomorrow depending on their surgery schedule, which often gets rearranged due to emergencies. He said they had an emergency come in yesterday, so I'm guessing Rocky's surgery will be Wednesday rather than today. It's looking like it will be Saturday or Sunday before he gets home. Apparently he has gotten accustomed to the routine around there, including riding on a gurney in and out of the hospital. He isn't crazy about pooping on a leash, but then, who is? He will be back to wandering around the dog yard looking for just the right place to do his business by this weekend.

I'm hoping these puppies will be going back to the SPCA by this weekend too. They are growing and they need to be adopted while they are still puppies.

The latest phone call about Rocky has his surgery scheduled for Thursday, so it will certainly be this weekend that he gets home. The bacteria in his ear infection is something resistent to most antibiotics, no surprise there, so he will be getting a super antibiotic via IV for 5 days. The bill is going to be higher than the estimate, again, no surprise.
