Gatsby Gets the Green Light

See what I did there?

Today Gatsby gets the bionic enhancements splinting his broken tibia removed. This is a little earlier than expected because the vet said X-rays revealed the broken leg had healed more rapidly than predicted.

At Least Four Nouns....

....I'd never expect to see in the same sentence:

"Last night I watched Molly Ringwald sing jazz standards at the Jewish Community Center  in Reisterstown, MD."

Gatsby's Progess

It's been two weeks since his surgery, and he continues to heal. It is getting harder to keep him confined and still.

Skunk Works and Broken Bones

Rough couple of weeks on the dog front: Indiana got sprayed in the face by a skunk two weeks ago, and Gatsby broke his leg on Saturday while rough-housing with Indy. 

For Indy, we tried a couple de-skunking treatments at home before finally resorting to tomato paste smeared into the worst areas, followed by a professional grooming.

After:

For Gatsby, his leg is splinted and bandaged pending surgery on Tuesday.

Guess we should have made time for the annual Franciscan Monastary's Blessing of the Pets this year......
