Sweet CB had his growth removed yesterday and is recovering nicely at home.
I think he gets better reception than our DirecTV. Haha
Poor guy is also wearing his winter boots and socks so he can't scratch the stitches.
The vet also had to shave a lot of his chest fur for the almost 3.5" incision. My running buddy is on the DL for a few weeks until he gets the all clear from the vet. :(
I'm sure he will be good as new in no time. It's just hard seeing him like this.

Awww... CB! I'm sure he will feel like a new pup with the growth gone, once his hair starts to grow back. Poor little guy!
ReplyDeleteI cant wait until we can run again.... Then we can all meet up at the doggy park!
DeleteAgreeeeeeddddd!!!
DeletePoor thing! So great to see him back home though! If anyone could make a cone handsome... it would be him :)
ReplyDeleteLOL.. he could be the model dog in the catalogs for Elizabethian Collars...
DeleteAhhhhhh. What a sad little furry face! Glad he did well! Feel better CB!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he'll be back to himself in no time! There is something oddly entertaining about a dog with a cone on his head even though they can look so pitiful. The last time one of ours had one, watching her try to get out of the dog door or drink out of the water bowl made for many great laughs!
ReplyDeleteGood luck, little buddy! I'm sure it looks worse than it is.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I keep telling myself that... Definitely not used to seeing him like this.
DeleteOh that breaks my heart a little to see that shaved spot and stitches but I'm sure it is all to keep CB healthy for many many years! Don't you love how dogs know they look ridiculous and give you that face? ;)
ReplyDeleteGlad he is okay! The good news about hair is that it always grows back, but that cone of shame may take some of his pup manhood away ;)
ReplyDeletePraying for a speedy recovery for your furry man!
Oh no the cone of shame...poor guy. Wow that was quite the incision. I am glad he is doing okay. I am sure since he is so healthy from all your runs he will bounce back quick.
ReplyDeleteHe has a ton of energy, and i have to make sure he doesnt try to bounce around and play with me. Im sure he will be back to normal soon.
DeleteGlad he made it through surgery good. He does look funny in that cone of shame! I pray his recovery is speedy and he is out running with you again soon! Cola dog has been up and about quite a bit until he started feeling sassy and tried to play with the horses and got himself kicked in the sore leg :( but he does love your treats. I wish we had some cool dog treat places here so i could send some to CB as he heals up, give him a big hug from Cola and I.
ReplyDeleteThat is a big spot on his chest, hope he starts to recover soon.
ReplyDeleteFor the NYC marathon, I always thought it as a big money grubbing organization, though it does seem like an awesome race to do. Seems like most of the big races are - though Chicago seems a little easier to get into and also run.
For the finish line generators, I read a story that said that the race couldn't just immediately give the generators to the victims. Just seeemed like there was a lot of mis-information out there, and the runners felt the wrath of it.

He will recover fast. When you are a positive thinker, you can make your dreams, hopes, and wishes come true. That's true. Trust me, he will be good as new.
