Back in the game
Well, for awhile here, the happy go lucky, dance when he saw you/especially to his food, main greeter (and main keeper away at the same time) was a bit under the weather. Poor Rennie boy had to have surgery. It seems the 'ole tummy is not what it used to be and he just kept bloating up. The docs recommended surgery (to tack the tummy to his sides to prevent any torsion), and while we took it under consideration the first bloat, by the second bloat, we really took notice. They got him in in record time and he came out like a champ. He had the surgery around 1 pm and around 9 pm was quite vocal about wanting to come home. They had said originally he should stay the night but 'ole Rennie boy had other ideas. They called for a pick up and I went on up. He was still quite uncomfortable so I pulled an all nighter with the pup on the floor trying to get him to lay still and rest. Felt like college again but without a hangover the next day. I'm happy to say it's been about 3 weeks now and barring a bit of a scar, he is back to normal. He's even eaten a whole loaf of bread with no bloat. That's our Rennie boy!
