Black Dog Sunday

Our Black Dog came home from the hospital yesterday afternoon. He's doing well, although he's very sleepy.

It goes without saying that we are all thrilled to have him home. He has two weeks of recovery (lots of sleep and not much else) ahead of him. We'll spoil him as much as we can.

And his sister will nurse him. This was their position very soon after he arrived home. Shyla hasn't moved. I doubt that she will move for as long as she is needed. R is her rock.
R is one of those special dogs who floats through life in a perpetual state of hopefulness and happiness. His disposition has barely changed throughout his life - he was born happy and he still is.

I am so glad that it is a Happy Black Dog Sunday.

    Oh KB I'm elated and overjoyed for R, you and Runner.
    I believe Shyla is R's rock too. What devotion..the look in her eyes makes my heart happy
    R is such an inspiration for living in the moment...worry can only rob us of each happy moment.
    Many many blessings to all.
    Hugs Cecilia

    It is so great to see him peaceful and content recovering. And that Shyla, such an awesome sister! Hope that Hachi isn't getting too jealous.

    I just read what you went through yesterday and then the good news of today. It's wonderful that he's such a happy dog, living his life, dealing with whatever comes his way. I think Shyla is a lot more worried than he is.
