Is there no dignity?

Sarah came up with a diaper type garment to give Metro some mobility today...

Baby Steps

I am back at jbex today... Sarah wanted to see how Metro navigated the steps of the deck without assistence. He was able to walk down the steps - the length of the house - to the back of the carport - back to the deck - up the steps without any help...


YAY!!!

Vent for a Pressure Cooker

Per the "gentlemen's agreement" with my boss...

Today is Sunday, December 11, 2005... One of the Sundays that I jbex-ed/traveled while I was in Asia...

I have been a blubbering mess and was not ready to face people... With all that I have gone through with the passing of both my parents - Metro's injuries has made me stop and realize that my over-boiling point was reached a long time ago. The pressure has built to a point that a release had to come.

I took day to reflect. Walking in the woods back towards Big Branch, it was a beautiful day...and I had time to unwind, recoup and refresh. I left some sadness in those woods. And I took some great photos!!!

"Look at me I'm Walking"

If you are a child of the sixties, and watch the Muscular Dystrophy Telethon from Nashville - you are welcome to sing along. Wow, that was a long time ago...

Metro is taking longer walks outside. He tried to raise his leg a couple of times, but settled for a half squat.

If it wasn't so sad, it would be funny! :(

"Yummmmmm.... Chicken and Rice!"

Rainbow Bassinet

We remembered the bassinet that we bought for the dolls years ago... Perfect for Metro to rest in while he recuperates!

Welcome Home, Metro!

Yay!!!

Metro is home now!!! 8 drainage tubes were placed in the most damaged areas. Stitches and staples are holding other things together...

Two antibiotics, Pain drops and Betadine & Neosporin to apply topically.

He is scheduled to return to the doctor on Monday, March 6th. Thankfully, he is resting comfortably with the pain medicine.

Oh, and the neighbors are conveniently absent this weekend. :smirk face:

OUCH!!

Metro in my lap

Stitches!

Stitches up close!

Oh, No!

Metro was attacked by a bigger dog. (any dog is bigger than Metro, he only weighs 5.5 pounds). He was outside doing his business while we were unloading groceries... Neighbor's dog (60 pounds) came around the corner of the garage and picked up Metro like he was a stuffed toy.

Metro has ten to twelve puncture wounds and will have to spend the next couple of day in the Vet Hospital. He will have drainage tubes inserted tomorrow. He lost quite a bit of blood and was in mild shock when we got to the vet's office. He was in a lot of pain during the drive to the Vidalia. Four shots (one of them Morphine) and he was resting when we left. I will visit with him in the morning before I go to work and before I head home tomorrow afternoon.

...and they had to shaved all his beautiful hair - from his shoulder blades to his butt!

Dakota Metro on the Runway

My favorite Travel Bug???

Well, it got to be

Dakota Metro on the Runway

Named for and in honor of our Yorkshire Terrier - "Metro" !!!

Metro is my little caching buddy and has joined me on several hunts. He has his own Geocaching account and loves being outside.

As a travel bug Metro has joined me 'vicariously' on my trip to Asia in November/December 2005. Also he visited the caches in Murfreesboro and Smyrna during my Dad's illness. Dad loved Metro and asked about him when I went to visit him in the Tennessee Vetern's Home.
Dad's first question for me was not..."how are you" or "did Sarah come with you"... No, Dad wanted to know, "Where's Metro"!!!

When Dad passed away on Janurary 23rd --- we took Metro with us to Tennessee for the funeral. We took Metro in the funeral home to say his "goodbye" to Dad! Metro made the ride to McMinnville to the gravesite at Bethany Church of Christ. Metro sat on Sarah's lap as the burial flag was presented to me from the Tennessee Army National Guard Honor Guard .

Birthday Avatars

When two Cheerios have the same birthday...there are many birthday wishes and some great Avatars... Happy Birthday, Jim!!!

Happy Birthday to Me (and WZK)!!!

Yesterday was my 49th birthday... And how does a geocacher celebrate his birthday?

By caching of course!!!

I hid a devious little multi-cache near Montgomery Lake - the place where the World Record Large Mouth Bass was caught over 73 years ago.

Size Matters...When Fishing
