I think the vet left my dog’s testicles and removed his brain!
Because that’s how he’s acting!
Try taking a hyperactive sixty pound puppy who’s accustomed to hiking 6 miles a day, playing basketball for at least an hour a day and tennis ball for another hour, and making him…as the vet says…stay quiet for ten days! OMFG. Easy for her to say!
Last night he spent two hours chasing his tail and then he went into the backyard where he found a six foot branch. Who the hell knows where he found it? I think he tore it from one of our redwood trees. Using whatever brain power he has remaining, he proceeded to practice for the Olympic pole vaulting team for another hour. Jeez!
Four months of training out the window in seven days. Pray that we survive until Thursday.
Hey - we watched The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - disturbingly violent, left me with many ponderous questions, loved it, but don’t know if I want to watch any further installments.
Tomorrow author Evie Balos and her new release, The Unnecessary Bodyguard.

Poor Jake. Hope he’s back to normal soon. Our golden can play ball all day long. He doesn’t care if we’re indoors or out - you must throw the ball.
Hi Julia! You made my Top 20 List for 2010…check out #16! Hope Jakey gets back to normal soon!
Yep, that’s how Tyr was after his neutering, too. Keeping a huge puppy quiet for days just so isn’t happening.
What an impossible task to keep a puppy still! At least you know Jake’s healing and feeling good, even if the vet says not to play…
XXOO Kat
Haha. Aww, the good thing is he’s not moping about and he’s getting active again. DH is talking about getting a dog, but I don’t know if I’m sold on the idea yet, especially with two naughty boys to watch out for.
We are reading Girl with the Dragon Tattoo for book club this month. I hope you make it until Thursday! Wow, I was tired just reading what he does on a day to day basis.
Oh you all…I let him off his leash for three seconds today thinking he’d stay straight on a paved trail and he flew down the embankment, hurled himself into a swamp and came out covered with muck. leeches, sticky weeds. Arggggh! If he gets sore or an infection it’s all my fault. But man, I’m with Jake, I can barely stand this!
Ciara, hope you enjoy the book.
Well, Delilah…you can raise a puppy and children! It’s just a matter of accepting the fact that your life will be crazy and you’ll ever have time to do anything again.
Cindy - thanks for your absolution.
And Penny - OMG! Thanks!
Amber - our golden, when we had her, was like that. Rosie’s been dead ten years. Hard to imagine.
Hello Kat! Yeah, he says he feels great and then his still remaining (?) scrotum swells up. I didn’t ask for them to leave him intact! I thought they’d just snip him and sew him up. Now they sort of mush everything around and leave him looking like a boy.
if anyone wants a cat I found a lovely little manx.
Julia, vets say that whenever they send an animal home, When my Mini came home in October with a 7 inch scar on her back and a hole down to her spine, she jumped on the counter the second day. I sometimes wonder if vets aren’t temporally displaced pediatricians. I mean, have they ever had a pet. Short of bondage how do you stop a pet from doing what they want.
Limiting the space they can hang out in helps. But even a guest room offers multiple hazards, and a puppy would bark your head off.
Pookie is now up to a full 9 cans. I don’t think she has a home for a while. She’s resting comfortably. Don’t u just want to fly here and pick her up?
The vet sent Jake home in a giant lampshade and he immediately tried to commit suicide by bashing into me and causing a horrible crash. I had to pull onto a side street and remove the lampshade. Those are the stupidest things ever invented! Geez! They should have told me to get him a soft collar and I would have come prepared.
