Scrappy post-surgery

Yesterday was an emotional hard day for Will, Scrappy Doo and I. Scrappy was taken to the WSU hospital very early in the morning and off to surgery before noon.

Being in Tacoma away from the action I realize how much Scrappy is truly apart of my life. It is hard to come home to an empty couch, empty water bowl, or to see an unmoved toy. I always have something to look forward to when Scrappy is around and it seems he is happy to see me. As soon and he circles around me and escorts me inside he immediately goes into the bedroom and grab himself a milkbone. He is rewarding himself for all the hard work it was to simply make me smile. It's hard to sleep in a bed knowing that Scrappy is usually sleeping in the bed right next to mine. I guess I have all these feelings because it has finally hit me. Scrappy may not be able to do everything that he used to do.

 I am imagining how much my life has changed in the past week in my life: new job; dog hit by a drunk driver; Will, Jim, and Scrappy taking an impromptu trip to Pullman; ending a job; and starting not one but two websites.

I just received a phone call from Will here is the Scrappy update:

Scrappy is happy to be out of surgery, he is smiling.

Scrappy ate for Will this afternoon; he ate Gerber Chicken and Gravy baby food and some cat food. Hopefully Scrappy’s urinary catheter will be taken out today. And if he can pee properly the earliest he will be home is Sunday the latest will be Tuesday.

With the help of the students Scrappy is standing! Doesn’t he look happy : )
