Hi Guys,
Ernie here with a quick check-in as I have to rip up all the paper in my cage & tip my water over so Max will let me out to clean it. It's a cunning plan I came up with to get extra time out & no one has caught on to it yet. I'm still on restricted exercise although I'm allowed to get longer walks but still only on the lead but I can't wait until I'm allowed to run around again.
I went back to the vet clinic last week to see Ruth the best vet ever & to have my stitches out & a quick check. It was great to see all my new friends at the clinic again, I think they have become quite attached to me but who can blame them after all? Everything is going really well with my recovery & the best thing is I don't have to wear that horrible plastic collar anymore, all my stitches are out & I can walk on my fixed leg pretty well. I might be having the operation on my other leg in a couple of weeks but Ruth will take some more pictures of my leg to see if it has mended enough before she decides to go ahead.
I must admit I'm quite enjoying all this attention as Derek my chauffer picks me up in the morning & we take the scenic route to Ruth's place where I get lots of pats & everyone chats away to me telling me how special I am & how well I'm doing. Then Derek picks me up & brings me back to the SPCA, we usually go home a different way to avoid me getting bored with the view. When I arrive back it's usually lunch time & then a quick walk around the estate & time for a nap. Who can complain about that kind of treatment especially at my time of life.
The other big news is that Bert is now available for adoption. Bert & I had a big chat about this with Uncle Bob & we decided that it's time for Bert to move on & start a new life. There is no point him sitting around waiting for me to finish my surgery because that will be a few more weeks before I'm ready for adoption so it's not fair to make him wait. The funny thing is we are doing really well on our own so it's time for us to find a home of our own & start the next part of our journey. I will miss him but I just hope someone will adopt him & give him the perfect home where he will be loved & be able to live out the rest of his life belonging to people who care about him.
In a few weeks it will be my turn, but if you think you would like to see Bert & maybe adopt him then come out to the SPCA. Unfortunately he didn't get a home over our special Valentines Day Adopt-a-thon, so I will let you know how he gets on & no doubt he will write to you all when he gets time out from socialising with all the staff & other dogs. I will keep you posted on my next vet appointment & how I'm going.
Cheers,
Ernie
