~~Yes, it’s chilly this morning!~~
Awoke at 4 to the news and the local TV has school closings. I think, “Uggghhh. I wonder how much we have so far.” The wind at the moment was pretty calm. But, it’s not very calm at the moment! I get up, head to the basement to check on Ducchess that the cuties. It’s pee time. Change the pups bedding sheet, toss in some laundry, open door to let Ducchess an…d Hawk out and to my amazement…maybe only an inch of snow! I felt immediately better about my day. Levi and I are heading to the vet 1st thing to get his foot/leg x-ray’d. When I sewed his toe back on several weeks ago I ended up having to take a dewclaw off and his leg/foot were pretty crushed up. I think he might have a floating bone chip that might need to come out. So guess I’ll fire up Ole Red and toodle to the vet to get a picture of the crime scene.
All in a day’s work I guess. But, Levi don’t miss a lick even when he’s 3-wheelin’ it. But it’s painful and we need to see if we can get him fixed up. He sure is a champ of a friend and a heck of a worker…he loves his job and life. And, he’s handsome!
How is Levi?
Shirley thanks for the note. Levi’s x-rays show two dislocated toes and a slight dislocation on the lower inside part of his ankle area. The toes that are dislocated are the two toes that take the majority of the weight load on his front end. The toe I sewed back on looks great and is doing well. I am sure he has tendon and ligament damage too…without a doubt. So, it will always be a ‘some pain’ situation. Deramaxx, time and letting him get some rest is best. But, he will always probably favor his right front foot. He’s taken to riding in the front seat of the pickup like he is “The King”. He is a hoot! Handsome and good looking, but a hoot! A great cowdog and friend even if he limps! Have a good day Shirley!
Glad to hear the news…… Lucky Levi to have you to love and take care of him.
