Nick's Home!

Thank you for all your support and good wishes. Nick came home last night, and I am happy to report that he's the same happy little dog as always. Indeed, he's just a tad too energetic for a dog who will need to be crated for the next couple of weeks.

He's got tons of stitches, 'cause the vet had to do a chin tuck to keep rolls of flesh from occluding the tracheostomy. And he's still on lots of medication, and has to be nebulized three times a day. But cheerful? Excited to be home? As hungry as ever? Oh, you bet.

I'm still worried about the future; having a hole in his throat just seems so vulnerable. And we don't know yet what he will and won't be able to do. But it's good to see him so much himself.
