Also, the surgeon called this afternoon. Oscar's surgery went great - she said the fracture was realigned almost perfectly, which allowed her to use a smaller plate and larger pins than she had originally planned on using. I'll pick him up tomorrow afternoon (actually considering just taking a half day and driving down to Syracuse after lunch), and will bring him back in a couple weeks for his cast to be removed.

So excited!

Woo hoo! Did you ever expect that when you saw it happen! The worst part is over! Now on to recovery, Oscar!

That was my inspiration for naming him Oscar, too!

Walking the Big Galoot tonight, I drop his leash and let him chase a rabbit. He follows it into the woods by the creek. He comes out without a rabbit, but somehow his leash came unhooked from his collar and is gone. Weird - I guess I didn't have it hooked on there.

Anyway, so without a leash walking back home, he goes back into the woods and comes out with a ...

And he was so proud of it. Carried it a half mile back home. Wanted to share it with the family.

Picked him up this afternoon. He is so happy you have no idea - obviously I'm just as happy, if not happier. He's already basically back to his old self - he's jumped a few times wanting to play fetch!

The purple cast was mad much dope... blue is fine... but he should go back to the purple.
