The Help My Dog (Floppy) Challenge: Day 22 - $50.77 of $5,000.00 - Please Resteem / Upvote / Donate Directly!!!!!!
Hey Everyone,
My dog Floppy had successful back surgery on Friday 12/22/17. He is in recovery and should be ok!!!
Unfortunately, this unexpected expense has hit my family hard and I am turning to the Steemit in an attempt to raise funds to pay for this surgery. Every upvote, comment, and share will help me out, and any straight donations would be wonderful!
Here is the picture of Floppy when he just got out of surgery and the blog started, and the pic that usually appears in the feed each day when his scar was the newest. Below it is a picture of Floppy's scar from yesterday, it's healing so well!!!!
Amazing, right?!?!?!
Thank you all for your support, votes, Resteems, and donations so far. Progress is being made, slowly but surely and my family is so appreciative!
DAY 21 UPDATE
The day started around 6:45AM as normal, Flop's day started off with his walk. It was super cold again but I think its going to get a bit warmer next week so that should be nice. I kept this walk pretty quick.
That gave us a bit more time inside before I had to get Luey to day care. This obviously gave Floppy some time to beg for some of his Luey's breakfast after he finished his treat, kibble and water. It will probably be a common theme during this blog, Floppy loves human food, loves to beg for it, would probably throw me under the bus for any snack...but you gotta love him!
... some lovely shots of my wife's feet for all you foot lovers too blahahahahahahahahahaha!
He was in the cage until 5pm and was super excited to see me when I got home around 545pm, Vanessa actually got off early today and he was already out of his cage when I got home. I made sure to pet him and give him attention right away as he'd be jumping up on me otherwise.
Lucas helped me with the afternoon walk today. It's always fun when he comes with, he's such a good little boy and he loves being daddy's helper.
Floppy made a poop and peed and then we walked back home. We usually go out to eat on Fridays but decided to order in tonight (BBQ!). We watched some TV for a bit in the living room and we decided to have Floppy sit on the couch with us. We've been avoiding this also because sometimes its hard to catch him if he decides to jump off real quick. He enjoyed being up on the couch though, you could tell.
We then went upstairs to change into our pajamas and bathe Luey before dinner and we left Floppy downstairs, out of his cage, with the gate blocking the stairs so he wouldnt come up, we still are not letting him on stairs yet.
This is where Floppy's day went south...or perhaps our day lol. I came downstairs about 15 minutes later and it smelled a little bit for some reason. I walked over to the bathroom and this is what I found:
OMG!!!! What a little ass hole, Floppy! I dont know if he was mad because he was downstairs for a few minutes by himself, but we were so mad at him. He went into his cage immediately, did not get any of our dinner (obviously), and hopefully he realizes what a bad boy he was!
Not a great way to close out the day, but at least he's still healthy and getting better!!!!!!
