Puppy+Anesthesia+Morphine = AHHHH!!

Top 5 Reasons Siberian Puppies & Opioids Don't Mix

(from the owner's perspective)

5.  Deludes puppy into believing he feels - and is - great!

4.  Results in a restless puppy who is supposed to rest, take it easy, and not

     engage in rough play or activities

3.  Evil puppy emerges between bouts of sedation

2.  When effects wear off, puppy gets very whiney

1.  Puppy sleeps all day, up ALL NIGHT

In Protest (by Jake)

Really!!??  Humiliating photos of me needed to be posted on the blog?  Wasn't it enough that my mom laughed at me when I first walked into the waiting room at the vet's office?  I just had SURGERY.

AND, I only had to wear the cone for an hour or so because I was a GOOD boy and didn't lick and bite at the wound site.


My reputation is ruined.

Back Home

Sporting the Elizabethan collar post-surgery.

Not happy. When he whines it echoes in the cone. Poor puppy.

Fixing Jake

Today Jake is at the vet getting "fixed."  He'll be home in a few hours.  I would have expected him to be there longer - days, overnight at least!  To me there's a lot to fix. But no one asked for my opinion.

I'm Hungry

No food after 8pm.  Who made that rule?  Cruel.  I'm starving.

The bowls are empty.

Moping is not helping.

I guess I'll just go to sleep.

Thievery (by Chloe)

Jake is a thief.

Toys I can tolerate.  But not my treats, especially Frosty Paws.

Jake gets his treat first.  When I get mine, I take off for another room to enjoy the treat in peace.  Yet, instead of eating his treat, Jake will run into the room where I am and try to steal my treat before eating his own.  Then he wants to eat his treat as well! 

Selfish little bugger.  Treat hog.  He's gotten a few nips from me trying to take my goodies!  He'd better learn some manners soon.

Playtime (by Jake)

Who is my new best friend who loves to play tug with me...??

JEFF!!!
