{Where have we been?}

Sorry I haven't posted for a while.  Some of you (Gigi and Aunt Katie) have been all over me to post :)  I have been a little busy with poor Murphy.  He had surgery last Wednesday and on Friday decided he didn't want the drain they put in to help his incision heal, in anymore.  We went to dinner Friday night and was gone for 1.5 hours and he had pulled it out and ate it.  Gross and ouch!  So I rushed him to the vet where they said he was ok, but the next day he was in a LOT of pain :( They thought it was from him pulling the drain out, but on Sunday it was worse.  I took him back to the vet and they found he has an infection.  They aren't sure what kind of infection it is, so he has been at the vet since Sunday afternoon.  They take really good care of him and he is being watched 24/7.  I hope he gets to come home soon, but want them to figure out what is wrong so he doesn't have to go back. 

 This is Wednesday night right after he came home.  He was pretty out of it.  I had to sleep on the floor next to him, or else he cried the whole night :(

 This was Thursday morning.  He was feeling a little better.  He felt really good on Friday, pre-drain incident.  I dropped off his duck toy Sunday night, along with food and pain meds.  He seemed to be in good spirits.  The medical unit at the vet is a sad place, and I prefer not to have to go back there again. A vet tech was laying in the kennel with one of the other sick doggies.  Ugh! You know they aren't feeling good when someone walks in and none of the dogs got up or barked.  Will keep you posted...

In other news...
Madison tried cereal the other night for the first time.  She wasn't too sure if she liked it or not...



She was more interested in her new bib than the cereal...we will try again this week.  (notice the dirty look she is giving me)

  

She still loves her Octopus hanging out in her exersauser!
