Hey Everyone,
My dog Floppy had successful back surgery on Friday 12/22/17. He is in recovery now and he should be ok!
Unfortunately, these unexpected expenses have hit my family very hard and I am turning to the Steemit community in an effort to raise funds to pay for Flop's surgery. Every Upvote, Follow, Comment, and Resteem will help me out, and any straight donations would be straight up awesome!!! All of your kind words & support have been amazing so far and as you can see, it is growing by the day, so thank you so much!
...and remember, I am upvoting all your comments now!
Below are pictures of Floppy's scar from right after the surgery, January 20th, February 1st and February 13th... it's healing so well!!!!
...The Doctors really did an amazing job!
Again, I kindly ask that you follow me as well so you can continue to keep up on Flop's progress throughout the year, as well as the progress of my goal. Thank you all for your support, upvotes, follows, resteems, and donations so far. Progress is being made, slowly but surely, and my family is so appreciative!
DAY 59 UPDATE
Flop had a nice day today. We woke up in the morning and he was ready to go for his walk, he was waiting right near the gate. I got Luey his breakfast (chocolate chip mini muffins, apple sauce, and milk) and took Flop out. It was pretty nice out so we walked for about 10 minutes because I had the time.
After the walk, we went inside and Flop got a few mini biscuits. He likes Beggin strips better but I have to mix it up every once in awhile. I took Lu to school around 7 and picked him up early today because he had a doctors appointment at 4pm. He also had swim at 6pm. We got home earlier than normal and I'm sure Flop enjoyed that.
I took him for his afternoon walk and I actually tried jogging with him for the first time today since his surgery. We only did it for about 90 seconds as part of his walk but he was able to keep up and seemed fine! I was probably more tired than him lol!
(My camera storage got full again at this time so I was unable to take any more pics today...I need to figure this out, fast!).
After the jog we walked for about 10 minutes too, so this was definitely one of his longer adventures out since the surgery! He got his poo and pee done and we went back home. I stayed home for swim today and Vanessa took Lu so Flop chilled on the couch with me while I did some work and steemed. Unfortunately he jumped off the couch when Vanessa came home and I think she smelled the Chinese food she brought home. Flop begged a lot...since it's a lot of rice and noodles he didn't get much, but he scored a piece of general tso chicken or two by the time we had finished!
I went out for a cigarette after dinner and brought out Flop with me... He started barking at the other dogs that were walking down our alley for their walk super loud. I think he also heard the neighbor dog too.
I gave him a beggin strip and made sure he was comfy in his bed before I went upstairs for the night.
...As always, thanks for reading about Flop, he's doing great!!!!
