Sam here and I just want to let you know I’m baaacck. I even woke mom up this morning at 3:49 am to let her know I’m feeling good and ready to rock-n-roll. As you can imagine, she’s thrilled, especially since I told her first! Thank you for all the good wishes. I may be a little scarred but I’m the same knucklehead good dog as I was before. I’m hoping those stitches come out by the end of the week. Hope you have a great Monday and a great week!
Live, love, bark! 🐾
Thanks!
I have a not-so-nice word for Sampson when he does this to me. Want to guess what it is? 🙂
Bwahaha. Let me guess!
We’re sure your Mom appreciated you first thing in the morning. A pup’s job is never done, right?
Appreciate might be an overstatement, but we’ll go with that for now. ☺️
Looks like the incision is healing well – scars give his handsome face character! 😉
Chicks seem to dig scars so I’m going to work it into my pickup spiel.
😀 Such a rake!
I know, it’s part of my charm…so I’m told.
This character doesn’t need any more character. BOL
HOLY COW PATTIES!!!!! How did I miss your vettie postie????!!!!! I had to go back and find it, cause I didn’t knows what happened! Oh dude, I do knows abouts being knocked out and all wooooooosy…NOT funs at all! Sorry abouts the stitches, butts your Moms is right, we ladies do likes a scar! BOL! Glads you’re feelin’ better and I will send lots of AireZens!!!!
Kisses,
Ruby ♥
Oh thank you, Miss Ruby. And thank you for the AireZens. I can always use some of those. 😍
I’m glad you’re doing better, glad to see you’re back.
Thanks. It’s good being back to knucklehead status.
Looking wagnificent Sam!
Nose nudges,
CEO Olivia
Thanks. I’m feeling good now, too.
Oh boy, Sam, we’re behind on our reading, so we don’t know what happened to you! We’re just glad you’re OK, and we’re going to catch up now! ♥
No worries. You e got adorable babies to tend. Hope the chicks are holding their own. 😍
YAY, welcome back and as handsome as ever. You look wonderful next to those pretty pink impatiens.
Woos – Lightning, Misty, and Timber
Aww, thanks for the kind words. We had a nice shower yesterday so the impatiens were most happy.
Oh no! I have missed the post where something happened to you! It’s been a bit crazy around here. I’ll go back and see if I can find it. Tippy and I are very glad you are feeling better and hope you don’t have much of a scar.
Thanks. He’s back to being his whole silly self after a dental cleaning and a couple of tiny tags being removed. While he was recovering he decided he was Lord Fauntleroy wanting to be hand fed. Cracks me up at his milking it for all he was worth. 🙃
Very smart dog you have there. Might as well take advantage of a tough situation. LOL
Oh trust me, he milked it for all it was worth.
So glad to see the noble nose almost back in full action again!
It’s working quite well…at least it was pointed skyward at 3:49 am this morning. Just wish he’d do it a a more godly hour!
We’re glad to see you baaaack to your sweet self, Sam! Once those stitches are out, no one will even know you had the surgery. Glad you didn’t need too much Rimadyl! Now that Shadow’s off the stuff, her liver enzymes are pretty much back to normal. Hopefully, once the stem cells have migrated and regenerated, we’ll be able to take her off the Gabapentin too but that’s probably several months away yet.
That stuff has such scary side effects I’m grateful he didn’t need more that a couple doses. Whew!
Yay!!! We are glad you are back, those stitches will be out before you know it!
xoxo,
Jakey, Arty & Rosy
Just hope the scar isn’t too noticeable. I don’t want the hospital to think I’m some sort of tough guy.
YAY SAM!! So happy you see that you are back and raring to go!! Yay for the stitches coming out soon!
I’m happy too, but for crying out loud, could he not be so enthusiastic at 3:49 in the AM. LOL
Aww, so glad he’s feeling better! 🙂
Many thanks. Oh yes, he’s feeling so MUCH better and is only to happy to remind me in the wee hours of the morning about it. 😊 And thank you for swinging by the Ranch and for the follow. We ♥︎ visitors.
Berry berry happy yur feeling better Sam!!! An yur lookin grate all so! Yur so kind to tell yur Mumma so early inn thee mornin, mew mew mew…..
***Hi-5’sss*** Siddhartha Henry =^,.^=
Many thanks, Siddhartha Henry. Looking and feeling good and so excited about it I just HAD to tell mom.
Your fur-iend,
Sam 🐾
You look as good as you feel, buddy. Those stitches make you look like a tough guy. It looks good on you! Next stop – a tattoo!!
That’s what I told mom!
Good of you to think of telling your mum the instant you felt better…you knew she would want to know.
Oh yes, she was just ecstatic when I woke her up. 😆
Aww Sam…realized I missed the original post about his poor snoot…sorry he had a rough go but glad he’s feeling better. Ugh, hate the loooong anesthesia recovery process with pets!
The length of time it took to get completely out of his system was quite surprising to me as well. I figured it was due to his age but just glad he no longer demands being hand fed and having a most pathetic look on his face trying to garner sympathy. The dog deserves an Emmy!
Oh my, poor baby! One of my cats acts really weird post-anasthesia…probably the ketamine.
That coupled with his age. I know I don’t bounce back like I did as a kid. 😉
So true!
Welcome back, Sam! I’m sure Mom greatly appreciated being the first to know – after all, they don’t like surprises.
Especially at 3:49 am.
Don’t let Mom fool you, Sam … she appreciated it!
😍
You need a visit from a therapy human.
That’s why I woke mom up early this morning. I needed some therapy!
Take care Sam. Be good and rest up till stitches are out.
Thankfully, with them being on his nose he’s not too likely to pop a stitch.
What great news, Sam. I’m so happy your feeling your old self again. I linked this post to Awww Mondays.
Have a woof woof Awww Monday. My best to your mom. ♥
Thanks for the link. Elsa and I are {mostly} thrilled our boy is back. Now if he’d just remember his day and night order. Night time is not for sniffing the air. BOL
That’s good news. Hopefully he isn’t still wobbly and is eating and drinking normally again.
How long does he have to stay on the anti-infammatory meds?
In my opinion, they should always be short term (less than three weeks) as I have seen such awful things happen to dogs on long-term anti inflammatory medications.
Not longer wobbly and bouncing around like before. I only gave him a couple doses of the Rimadyl. He didn’t seem to be in much pain and agree with you on their short term use. Rest and TLC worked much better without the side effects.
Pawsome news!🐕🌞
You’re going to have some real street cred if that turns into a scar!
Ooh, ooh…you mean I could be the most feared knucklehead in the ‘hood? Sweet!
Looking good Sam! Glad to know you are back on your paws. Have a great week.
Thanks. Being back is pawsome. Have a wagnificent week!
Oh my, that WAS a long recovery from the anesthesia. No wonder your Mom was relieved. I wouldn’t count too much on the girls getting excited about your new scar, as your hair will probably cover it. Of course, I am sure you are a chick magnet anyhow. 🙂
I’ve been back for the most part since Friday. I’m just now reminding mom that I’m back. She said something about getting me a watch. Now sure why, she has been to wake her up, right? 😁
Welcome home Sam! You’re looking awesome!
Many thanks. It’s good to be back to 100% again. Now I can do what I do best…be a 100% certifiable knucklehead. 😆
oh darling boy… surgery is hard when you hit a certain age… but you did it! You bounced back. And you look good. Are visitors bringing you treats and flowers? Is Elsa giving you some space? You know she loves you too.
She and I played a bit together. I think she likes me even though I try to ditch her every chance I get.
