Wilting.

I’m just so bored lately. Tired–not sure if I’m still getting over sickness exhaustion or if it’s just from being bored; or if being bored is merely lack of enthusiasm caused by the tiredness. Your typical “chicken or the egg?” complex.

I did get back the gym on Friday and it felt great.  Hoping to go again tomorrow after weigh-in. But I haven’t packed up my gym bag yet…Look at all that enthusiasm….:::SIGH:::…

Oh but Poor Knucks!  He had surgery yesterday to remove his dew claw…long story.  He had an awful night (not as awful as mine when I was edged out of my own bed)  He just was so uncomfortable, and it made me feel so sad for him knowing that there was no way I could ease his discomfort, there was no way to explain to him that if he just lays down and leaves his foot alone it will get better.   And putting an E-Collar on him was like Chinese water torture to an African.  He got so confused he couldn’t move. He cried and whined and when that didn’t work his poor body started to shake. I put him in the crate today when I left for work with a nice juicy marrow bone, but reports are that he didn’t touch it… instead he tore up a piece of the rug under the crate and also chewed off his bandage.  His stitches are intact and the incision isn’t really red or irritated. Now is the debate of whether or not to risk him chewing out the stitches tomorrow in his crate.  Option A: Put him in the crate with the E-collar and hope for the best; knowing how much he will not understand and be uncomfortable and scared all day, but be pretty sure that he’s not chewing at his foot. Option B: No E-collar and hope that  now that the bandage is off his foot doesn’t feel so funny and he’ll just chew up his bedding instead of the stitches… This one is a complete toss-up. but somehow I feel it’s the one that will be put into action tomorrow.
Please cross your fingers and pray that which ever option is selected, it will be the right one, and he will be comfortable.

Either way the marrow bone is going back in with him. He’ll have to eat it sometime. Or atleast he’ll have ant buddies come in and say hello.  Ew.
