Just dropped off Hurley...

[Regina and Hurley]

I just dropped off Hurley to get his stiches removed. They will sedate him and remove them. He has a lot of stitches so it's better to sedate him. I will pick him up a little after 1 pm today. Dr. Marti will call me later this afternoon to let me know when he wants to do surgery #2....he told me if he looks really good and likes the way it has healed it will be done very soon...i know Hurley has healed very well with his incision site. We have had two little "bumps" we have hit, but they were not incision related.

I hate that Hurley will be getting another surgery again, but I have to remember that he needs these surgeries to have a long life. Right now he is going through a lot, but next year this time I know he will have his hair grown back on his head, have no cysts, running at the dog park, being able to be a "dog" and all this will be behind us....

Doodle Kisses,

UPDATE:
Just picked up Hurley!! He is doing great...!! Looks good without stitches!

FRIDAY is surgery #2.....
Another hurdle we will jump together....i know he is going to be so confused but this is what is going to give him a long and healthy life!! I hat shaving back to back surgeries, but we don't need the remaining cysts on top rupturing...we need them off as soon as possible....

Thank you for keeping Hurley in your prayers and helping him in every way get through this...!! It's because of you all that is has gotten this far...!! One surgery down, just one more to go!! Thank you for helping to save my dog....!! He is doing really good :) I love you all....and Hurley too!!

Doodle Kisses!!

I'm glad things went well today and I'll be hoping for another great outcome with this next surgery on Friday.

Great news Regina! Although Hurley may be confused about what is happening dogs don't go through all the crazy thought processes that we humans go through! I think he will continue to feel safe and confident because of the positive energy that you are sending his way!  Good luck on Friday and we continue to pray for the big guy!!!
