Opy - the Original GruffPuppy

It's been a year............

Hi pups,

It's been one year today since Charlie got his bionic pacemaker implant.

Ouchies :(



There have been "up's and down's" - but we are all so thankful to Dr Peter for keeping our "family of four" together for longer than we thought possible.

We all thought he had some kidney problems starting as well, and mum had to chase him around the yard this morning to collect some of his wee - it was pretty funny. It seems that all his meds may have made his reading all funky - and whilst it is higher than it should be, it is not as bad as Dr Nick first thought - so we will just monitor for the next few months and restest again. He may have a urinary tract infection though, so will need some anti biotics for that. I tell ya, it never ends !!!!!

Our toy stash -



Even though you steal my biscuits and try and eat my foodables, and make me very gruff - I love you Charlie.

Mum's famous pink slippers ! -



Rollin' on a cool bed -


Yeah, mushy I know - but I guess it is okay to admit that I love the "Big Lug" -


Love

Opy
the thankful gruffpuppy

That is great news guys. We were so worried. Hopefully you'll find the right balance in the medication and they wont impact the kidneys so much.
Great pics btw!!!

Yay! So glad the results are better than you all thought. Way to go Chucksie Bucks!

hmmmm! Btw Opy dearest Gruff One, I should be wary of those darn "pink slippers" .....one day they truly are going to rule the world. I heard this news direct from your Mama!

Methinks she may even begin a website called "Slippers With Blogs", and create a blog for her Pink Slippers. Best keep an eye on her. And the slippers.

Mucho licks and many good licks to Charlie too from me, Marvin xxxxx

And Monkey Nut Hugs to your Dad too ;0D

(I know, I have taken it too far now!)

Hi Opy,
Can't believe it's been a year since Charlie's got his bionic pacemaker! Our mom says she totally understands what your mom means... in our house, it's either Hershey has a 'sploding butt or Huskee has a skin irritation... or someone's annual vaccination is due... etc.. mom says we can put our vet's grandchild through uni..
