Romeo is hanging out at the vet tonight, recovering from today’s very long surgery. The surgery went well and he is now officially a tripod. I can’t wait to give him a hug.
The potentially sucky part of the day was the news that one of his back knees looks suspicious. Since a two legged Great Dane just isn’t going to work, this could put a serious damper on his prognosis. Nothing is confirmed at this point and we’re just focused on immediate surgery recovery at the moment. Needless to say, today was a bit of a roller-coaster.
We’ll get an update tomorrow on how he’s doing and see when he can come home. The house feels much emptier without him here, and the bed seems so much bigger.
To combat the dreariness of this post, here is a picture of Dante from this morning. Apparently he didn’t want Romeo to feel bad for being the only dog with three legs.
Fun facts
- Currently there are only 1/3 fewer dogs in the house but 2/3 fewer pounds of dog.
- Speaking of weight… Romeo’s leg weighed a whopping 9 pounds – almost twice what Julio weighs!
