His breath is much, much better :), but his paw is obviously still bothering him quite a lot. He really wants to get at it, so the vets put a soft cast on his entire right rear leg that he would love to remove — so he gets to wear a hat, too (well, an Elizabethan collar). Poor guy! But he's doing great and seems his usual happy self. Barbara did tell me last night (I'm traveling on business right now) that Chewie seemed to have some sort of a minor seizure or something, so that's worrisome. Another update on Chewie…

The reason is that he's going to have an early start tomorrow morning for (a)a dental, (b)being neutered (including removing that undescended testicle), and (c)a thorough checkup on that right rear paw to see what we might do to save it. Barbara discovered yesterday by removing the bandages with which we'd covered his paw that a spot about ½" × 1" on his pastern had somehow gotten rubbed raw :( I hate to say it, but it might have been my fault for putting his bandage on improperly. That didn't help – his urge to chew on his damaged paw was only increased by having yet another problem to worry. We'll keep you all posted...

They ought to be taken out back and shot dead!! Damn... What kind of people will treat their dog like that and then even use him for breeding? They ought to be taken out back and shot dead!! Damn…
