Update on Braeden

First of all, a BIG Thank You to everyone for their comments, support and POTP for Braeden! He was able to come home tonight! We are still watching him like hawks, but he seems to be doing well having been so sick! He's a bit subdued, although a little restless, and seems happy to be home. He still has the catheter in his leg for the IV, but it doesn't appear to bother him.

Braeden is allowed to have a tablespoon and a half of food every hour and a half. He's on a low fat food, and he is tolerating it well. Honestly, it doesn't look very appetizing, but you would think he was feasting on prime rib! After 36 or so hours without food, we suppose anything tastes good. He's drinking water, but is having a bit of trouble with cone interference BOL That's probably more my fault than anything else. We haven't had much experience with the Cone of Shame.

We have an appointment with the dogtor at 8 am tomorrow. If all goes well tonight they will remove the catheter and let him come home. He will be on a restrictive diet to help prevent any more occurrences. A small price to pay to keep him healthy! We are very grateful to have such a wonderful dogtor and staff take care of Braeden.

Braeden wants to tell you that he has agreed to let me post pictures of him if he could watch Animal Planet tonight.  So here goes…looks like it's gonna be an exciting evening of TV watching!


This is humiliating. Can we decorate it? Like you would sign a cast?

This is where my catheter is. I think red was a great choice of color, but I hope they take it off tomorrow

Sometimes ya just gotta put your paws up and relax. It's a great night for Animal Planet.

Thanks again for all your well wishes! It means the world to us!

Grateful Waggies,
From the Scottie Shenanigans Clan

      I know, it's pawsome! I'm just chillin' on the chair watching Animal Planet. Funny thing Charlie, Mom doesn't feed me much besides my kibble and treats. Last time I had any human food it was turkey and green beans…and that was in November! Do you think they turkey did it?

      I think so, too! I get to eat in another 10 minutes or so. Do you know how SMALL a tablespoon is? Also, we've been reading all of the training blogs. I can't wait for my first assignment. I'm gonna be real good and follow the dogtor's orders so I don't have to take a sick day!

    Thanks guys! I'm glad to be home and I'm feeling much better. If I could just figure out how to score a couple of treats it would be great. Another hour til my tablespoon + 1/2.

    1) the cone of shame is easier with an inflatable.
    2) What he has is painful, but not fatal-Kyla had it bu recovered.
    3) Never, ever forget that we love you.

      Thanks guys. The cone is a real pain in the tail. Mom tried for the inflatable but the dogtor said I could get to the catheter so we had to stay with the original version. :( it's a small price to pay and it should be history by tomorrow! We love you guys (gals) too. So thankful for your friendship!

      Thanks Whitley. No it is not. Mom couldn't help but laugh (I heard her). It makes it eating and drinking a little difficult. I've officially retired the cone.

      Thanks FnE! It went well at the dogtor. Mom left me for a few hours while she went to school, but she has a great Assistant Principal who loves doggies and Mom got to come get me and stay with me at home. We had a good day!

      No worries, guys! Our secretary misses lots of stuff! Sometimes ya just have to cut the humans some slack. We always feel like goofballs when we hop on the yaptop and see how much we've missed.

      The checkup went well, and I'm home YAY!! I'm finally getting some real meals, even if its low fat. Its not tooooo bad. Mom's still watching me, but so far so good!

      Thanks Marty! We appreciate your sending POTP. Braeden went back to the dogtor this morning because he was throwing up again. Hopefully it will pass quickly and he will feel better!
