Visiting Hours

Aaron and I got to go visit our boy tonight at 8:00 pm. He was incredibly stoned, but I was lucky enough to get a little tail wag when I bent down and loved him. It made my whole night. Dove Lewis assigns a technician to each recovering patient; his was incredibly competent and intelligent and wonderful. It made me feel great to know he is in charge tonight.

Now, we’re just anxiously awaiting the true recovery tests: tomorrow morning at 9:00 am… eating w/o vomiting, pooping, interest in eating. The next 24-hours will be very crucial. If he passes all his recovery tests, he will get to come home tomorrow night — cross your fingers.

Poor Newman was almost incoherent... but we did get a couple doggy wags.

This is the offending object they pulled out of his intestine. It is about the size of a bottle cap -- or a bit bigger and really rubbery. We have NO idea what it might be.
