Boo Boo Ben!!!

-
Ben says to tell you he's fine. He had surgery yesterday to repair a torn ACL. He had to stay at the vet overnight which was traumatizing for both of us, but I got to go get him at 9:30 this morning and he is home resting comfortably now. The surgery went well-no surprises or complications. He has a shiny new plate in his knee which will make just breezing through airport security a thing of the past when he goes on his world tours, but sacrifices had to be made. I'm working from home today to keep an eye on him. We're having lunch right now and then it's back to the coal mines for me and back to recuperating on his new dog bed for him!

( Here are some post op pics. The site looks really good, but I will make the pics small so you can avoid them better if you are squeamish. If you are a science/med geek like me, just click on them to biggify.)

Ben really DID have a boo-boo! I hope he heals up fast and doesn't damage anything else!

Glad that you were able to have things taken care of so quickly! I pity the boy when it starts becoming "itchy" as the fur grows back. I'm sure Mom will make special treats for him while he recovers? Correct????

So Ben's 2010 Give-Me-A-Dog-Treat-And-I'll-Woof-You-A-Song World Tour has been postponed? Darn, and we had tickets...

The first thing I thought when I saw these pics was "plucked chicken leg," but I didn't want the poor convalescent to think I was poking fun at him. I glad you said it though...I don't feel quite so bad.

Hope he has a speedy recovery and is back to his big goofy self soon!

Honestly? I thought about him (and you) last night; my heart is happy seeeing that he's home by his mama. (And...thanks for the small pic; I'm of the "not-inclined-to-biggify-but-thanks-for-asking" school.)

My word is "endyblys" - there's a kid story in there, I can feel it.

Oh, I'm so glad the problem was identified and fixed. Hope the recuperation goes smoothly and well.

Poor feller. So far he isn't enjoying his recovery. I can tell by the ear position. (Let me know if you need any other translating done.) The first day after surgery is horrendous. He needs lots of styrofoam glasses of water with plenty of ice and a bendy straw.

He'll be up and causing trouble again soon. And you're right. Totally looks like a chicken leg. Feel better soon, Mr. Ben! (and good luck taking care of the invalid, Mr. Ben's Nurse!)

Just got a comment on my last blog entry reminding me that Monday is actually the last day of November, not today. So I have TWO more entries to complete NaBloPoMo; today and TOMORROW. How sad would that have been...to blow the whole thing because I can't read a calendar? I just figured, hey, December is coming next week, might's well start it out first thing on Monday! This here is a picture of my BubberKev and I at Thanksgiving. We're taking a momentary break from strangling each other to goof at the camera. Our mamma must be so proud! Back to online Christmas shopping! Have a great Sunday evening!

Lots of New Tangle Pattern Ideas!

I've been setting aside tangles that I've created in a special file in my cabinet. When I put one in last night, I realized that I had quite a stockpile and that I hadn't put only of them out there for others to try...so here they all are. I'm not good at stepouts or at naming. Most of them are named after placed in Maine...just because. I'd love to see any tangles that you've done that use any of these patterns! Have fun and tangle on!

Wicked Wonderful Weekend

 I had a really nice weekend. I didn't expect to since I had both my Covid booster and my flu shot  on Thursday afternoon. My first of the original two Covid shots put me under the weather for about 24 hours...but I just got a headache from this one and that's about it. And since I get headaches anyway, who knows if it was from the shots or not? At any rate, I was prepared for a stay-at-home-lay-about weekend.  Life is what happens when you are making other plans.  Since I decided Friday Night that I guess I wasn't going to be incapacitated after all, I arranged to go with friend, Donna to Baraboo to the Arts and Crafts Festival. It was really nice and way bigger than I thought it would be. Baraboo is where Ringling Brothers started so there were also circus-y things all over town. So much fun! After the Fair we went to lunch at a little breakfast place and then headed to one of my fav spots, Pewett's Nest, to see the gorge and waterfall. Then we stopped at Sky Hi Apple
