John is Feeling Better!

After a month since his fall, John is almost all healed. He is moving around a lot faster than the first few weeks after the injuries and the black-and-blues are fading. The sling was retired a week-and-a-half ago, so Sweetie is currently flying with both wings. I'm going to say the only times he truly feels pain now is when he tosses and turns in his sleep (lets out a little yelp) or when someone hugs him very tightly (sorry...just love ya so much!). The broken ribs, according to Dr. Lynch, will take another 4-6 weeks to completely mend and ditto for the muscles in his arm. Everyone keeps telling us how lucky he is because the damage could have been a lot worse. Lesson learned: a leash wrapped tightly around the wrist will not stop a 110-lb big yellow dog from chasing bunnies!
