Hi Everyone!!

Oh my goodness, it has been a LONG time since I have posted anything about my Mighty Bruce! Just been busy, busy, busy …

Ok, here’s the down-low …. Bruce is doing GREAT! He seems to be back to his normal self almost. Since I last posted he was being treated for a mild dermatitis. This is almost cleared up. The area under his chin is clear, but the area closer to his surgery scar has just a little bit more to go, and then all better! He is totally over the allergic reaction! Bruce is being playful in the house and in the yard. He even wants to get Tinkerbelle involved (but she is 5 years older, and she’s like, “Whatever Bruce! Go away!” LOL!)

Oh, I do have something to share that sort of hurt my feelings a little. Our next door neighbors have two small young girls. They saw Bruce in the backyard recently and made silly comments about our new tripawd. For Example: “He’s only got 3 legs! Ooooo … we are SO scared!” Of course they said this sarcastically, but what can I say, the kids are younger than 6 years old … Well, my husband spoke with their dad, and explained to them what happened to Bruce (about having cancer), and they felt bad.

Here’s a funny story, this happened just two days ago. Before Bruce had his surgery, he and I would get up on the couch and have cuddle time. He would get on the cushion next to me and plant his big ol’ body into my left side while I was sitting on the couch. Then he’d drape his front legs over my lap, and we would just sit … sometimes for even an hour at a time. Well, since his surgery, we have not been letting him get on the couch, as we didn’t want to take any chances of hurting his surgery site. So, a couple of days ago I was sitting on the couch, and he was eye-balling me … I think he was saying, “OK mom, I want to cuddle now! It’s been 3 weeks already!” Well, he started climbing on the couch. He stood with his 1 front leg on the cushion, still not sure about it … When he lifted his rear end to lift his back legs on the couch he lost his balance and face-planted into the back couch cushion! It really was a sight to see, and I couldn’t help but laugh!! He corrected himself quickly, and hoped on over to me, and he just collapsed into my side! He was so cute doing that! And we cuddled!! I was so excited. I just hugged him so tightly!!

Well, I’m headed off to work. I will try and post some pictures tomorrow!

Love from Sabre and Bruce!
