Second surgery completed

They did the surgery on Rocky's other ear late this afternoon and he's fine. Paul called me about 8:00 p.m. and he had just left Rocky's run after sitting with him for some time after the surgery to make sure his temperature was coming up and he was coming out of the anesthesia. It seemed to go well, no signs of nerve damage so far at least, and amazingly, both of his ears are still erect.

The vet in charge said that his ear canals were the worst she had ever seen. Paul said that the site of the first surgery was looking pretty good already, "aesthetically pleasing" I believe he said.

I'm not sure yet when he will be home, but we are hoping it will be Sunday.

AWESOME! Such good news...now, is there a standardized format for canine sign language?
