Post Surgery

Sorry I didn't update yesterday, we had a huge snow storm and my interwebs wasn't working all that great.  But, my surgery went good!  Dr. Mike took 3 more vertebrae of my tail to make sure he got a lot of muscle and stuff to work with. 

Here's my new tail.

It really hasn't bothered me much, so I've left it alone.  But, the momma has been home with me, so I haven't gotten a chance to test out my new armor to keep me away from it while they're gone.  Do you believe what they're going to put me in if they need to leave the house and they can't find a Corbin babysitter????

THIS!

The momma has asked me not to accept this as a challenge, but to embrace it and allow it to keep my tail healing properly.  I'll try my best.  Dr. Mike also put me on a medication for nerve blockers and that might be what's helped me not be bothered by my tail as much. 

Snoozin'

For now, I'll just be snoozin' and getting acquainted with my new, little tail.

  1. OMD, Corbin, you need to do ANYTHING to avoid having to wear that silly get-up! Just indulge your momma a little. Now that your tail is all nice and perfectly trimmed, you can leave it be. You know what? It looks a lot like MY tail now!

  24. Horrible headgear, Corbin! But we had to do something very similar years ago when our dobie/GSD had a leg amputated.

  25. Gosh, Corbin, that looks a lot like the outfit you wore for transport during last year's Mango Minster. I think your new tail is very sporty. Just chill for a bit, my friend.
