Good Luck Polo

Operation Time

Polo is having an operation today to remove some bladder stones. While he is under anesthesia, he'll be having his teeth worked on as well. His teeth are really bad and a couple years ago when he was at the dentist, they extracted about 10 teeth!  Shocking.  

Prior to the surgery, he had to have his heart checked because he has a heart murmur that has worsened. He went to a cardiologist at the VCA and has had to take medication to get it under control.

Good luck in surgery my son! I wish you the best. It will be a while until we can play again, but hopefully soon. I hope you are not too scared today.

Your loving father,
Badger


Update 1

Polo's operation was a success and he is home now. He'll have to be on a special diet from now on to limit his protein as this is one of the causes of bladder stones. The vet removed some bladder stone(s) and has sent them to be analyzed. Polo is now recovering from this and his dental work.

The witch (I mean vet) said, after examining his teeth, that he would need two teeth pulled. While he was under, she pulled eleven - ONE ONE - teeth from his head. The last time she did dental work on him, she said he would need one tooth pulled and pulled ten - ONE ZERO. I understand how there can be some issues that can't be detected until the work is being performed, but this is what one can expect when having an ordinary vet do dentistry when it is not her specialty nor is certified. I haven't seen Polo yet but will post some pictures when I get them.

Update 2 with Pictures

This is Polo with his cone on. He has to wear this so that he doesn't lick or tear his staples
Picture
This is Polo without his cone. He looks happy - probably because he is wearing a medicated patch for pain. Notice he still has some teeth?

Polo must be a shark because they've extracted 21 teeth and look how many he has left!

Memorial Day Cat Stalker

I'm very friendly to all living creatures but not everyone knows it. This big fat cat named Doogle was stalking me when I was visiting my friends over the Memorial day weekend. I think he was just curious because he has never been so close to a fluffy white dog like me. I just want to give my respects to all the military personnel who gave their lives so that I can be free to have moments like this with my friends.

Lazy Dog Cafe

The Lazy Dog Cafe is one of my favorite places to eat. There is one near the block and the other is at the Tustin Market Place. The food is great and the people are very friendly. I get free water and can hang out on the patio and have dinner. My favorite is the grilled chicken breast and brown rice. I highly recommend this place for you pooches who have never been.

I love to go for walks at the lake. It's so beautiful and I get to meet a lot of friends. This weekend, I saw two baby geese!  The parents don't like it if you get too close so it's a little hard to see them in this picture.

I go to work everyday and at times it gets really boring. I sit quietly most of the day with nothing to do except wait for a walk or to visit my friend Barbara for a treat. She is so nice and she has delicious treats! This picture shows my private little house. I feel comfortable and safe here.

I love chicken! I eat chicken several times a week. Andy bought me a new chicken toy yesterday and I just love it! It's cute and squeaks when I bite it. It's so fun

Snake!

Jeesh! I wasn't scared in the slightest bit. I was going for my morning walk when I heard a little 'hiss' and saw this snake. It was about 3-4 feet long. Ken threw that stick on it and it didn't move so he tossed a big log on it and then it quickly slithered away. Sorry, you missed a delicious meal Mr. Snake!

It It Was SO hot today - about 90 degrees. The pavement was burning my feet!  I may be cute and cuddly but when the weather gets really hot, I get moody and might rip your face off.  Look at my fangs!  Be very, very frightened.  (Just kidding.  I was yawning :)
